On My Mind

DATELINE: CARTERSVILLE, GA, 6:00 p.m. EDT

Miles Today: 540

Not much to type about today, just 10 long hours of driving. I did finally get caught up on my sleep, even though when my alarm woke me at 4:00 this morning, I didn't really want to get up yet. But I did and I felt good and energetic all day. Even now, after having stopped and had dinner, I'm not very tired yet. But I'll be sure to make myself go to bed early enough to get plenty of sleep tonight, too. No need to start another deficit.

Tonight I'm parked at a TA truck stop at this town mentioned in the dateline, above. It's naturally not in the town, but along the highway at the exit for the town. In this case, exit 296 on I-75 here in the Peach state. It's a nice, warm, sunny day, but not as hot as you'd expect in July in "Jaw-ja". It feels good in shorts and a T-shirt, but I wouldn't want to spend a lot of time outside wearing jeans.

I finally got word of my delivery appointment times for the 2 stops for this load, both tomorrow morning. The first one is at 7:30 a.m., the second at noon. The hilarious part is that the 2 sites are, according to Mapquest, about 1-1/2 miles apart. So the second one had better be willing to take delivery early, or else I'll have to find somewhere to park and wait a long time. (That is, of course, unless the first place dawdles an incredible amount in unloading their portion of the load.)

That's about all I can think of to report today. Check back tomorrow to find out where I'm headed next. If I had a vote, I'd say I'm due for a load heading back to the ol' home state so I can stop by and see the family. I've been out on this deployment for 2 weeks now, and my next scheduled home time isn't for another 2 weeks. (I'll see y'all at the A2 Art Fair!)

Thanks for dropping by yet again, send me your questions and comments, and keep on truckin'.
