Walton, KY

DATELINE: WALTON, KY, 8:00 p.m. EDT

Finally! An easy day with no "challenges". Just a 45-minute drive to my pickup in Novi, MI, a mostly easy drive down I-275 and I-75 (only "mostly" because of some rush hour traffic volume), an easy drop-and-hook delivery in Dry Ridge, KY at a site to which I've been before, and retreat to the Flying J here for the night. I even had enough time between pickup and delivery time to take my time on the drive down, including time for an hour-long nap when fatigue reared its ugly head.

I started my work day at 6:45 a.m., and finished up by 5:00 p.m. So it was an easy day for a change. My next pickup will be tomorrow (Friday) morning at the same company where I just delivered my load today. That'll be at 7:00, then I deliver it in Detroit in the afternoon. The scheduled delivery time is 5:00 p.m., but I'm going to get there as quick as I can, probably early afternoon, 'cuz my next bout of home time is this weekend, and it'll start after I complete this next load and get back to the yard where I park my truck.

So no drama to captivate you today, and hopefully I'll have none tomorrow, either. Thanks for taking the time to check in today, and keep on truckin'.
