What? Ohio Again?

DATELINE: VANDALIA, OH, 9:45 p.m. EST

Sorry for missing last night, gang. 'Twas one of those nights lacking blogger motivation. But I did get to deliver that load in the Columbus area a day early and picked up another assignment. After delivering the load and getting my next assignment, I spent the night at the Pilot in Hebron, OH, just east of Columbus.

I picked up the load I'm currently working this morning in Willow Island, WV. I got up at 4:30 this morning to make the 2-hour drive to Willow Island by the 7:00 pickup time. Pickup was a drop-and-hook, but it still took an hour to complete. I have a 10:00 a.m. delivery appointment tomorrow in Plainfield, IN, which is by Indianapolis, so I opted to stop at our terminal here in Vandalia for the night. It's only 1-1/2 to 2 hours from here to the delivery, so I'll get up in time to get rolling at about 7:00. That ought to get me there fashionably early.

I got here to the terminal around noon, so I've been working on my lack of poker skills most of the afternoon. It's definitely a grind when you're not a "card magnet". But so far I'm marginally ahead for the day. I'm currently trying desperately to hang on into the money in a tournament...getting close but running short on chips. It doesn't help being card-dead, too.

So that's the story for today and yesterday. Thanks for looking in on my journeys, and keep on truckin'.
