DATELINE: SPRINGFIELD, IL, 9:37 p.m. CDT
Miles Today: 0
That's right, I'm still stuck here waiting for my truck's repairs. It seems the part the need (a water pump) was a bit more difficult to come by than they expected. The last I heard, early this afternoon, it was going to be flown in from Memphis and would arrive around 9:00 p.m. today. Since the shop closes at midnight, is was unlikely they'd finish it up today. So I re-upped for another night at the hotel. Hopefully they'll finish up the fixup early tomorrow so I can pick up a load and haul it on my way home.
So that's all the news for today. I'm looking forward to reporting something else tomorrow. Thanks for checking in, and keep on truckin'.

Well, I hope you found a restaurant in walking distance! Enjoy your (involuntary) vacation from driving! (Eat, sleep, and be merry.....)
Out of curiosity, any idea what your truck averages in miles per gallon? (Diesel fuel, I assume).
Anybody reading this shouldn't feel too sorry for TRT. He's not stranded any more, he's home for the long weekend. And he thinks he's talked Mrs. Reluctant Trucker into making him a big pot of jambalaya. Huh! We'll just see about that.
