i-80 Closures

I made it to Wyoming exit 3 off of I 80 and had to pull off cause the road was closed.  It is a zoo here with all the trucks parked everywhere.  I really feel bad for the residents.  I dont know how long this will be lasting I am hoping it will open tommorow and I will be out of Wyoming by the end fo tommorow.  I am way behind on my run to Atlanta but this cannot be helped.

As I sit and waitt

I finished my drop and hook and I had to leave my trailer with hopes in getting another run but it seems to be going bad.  I sit and wait for nothing.  I am deciding if I should lay down and sleep or not.  Tough choice.  It was a good day and felt good to sleep solid the other night.  TTYL

An almost visit to Mexico

Well after my nightmarish situation last night I went and started my day with a wash for the truck to get that horrid mud off the truck.  I then headed for my drop off location in Laredo, TX.  But then it seemed with unclear directions I made my way to the border of Mexico.  NOT BY CHOICE at all!!!  Luckily there was a turnaround just before going to the border and I was able to make my way to where I needed to be.  That again was an adventure I did not need at all. 

Christmas is almost here and I will be looking forward to time off but my issue is where to spend it.  I don't know if i want to go to Florida or Indiana or do I want to just disappear for a few days to somewhere fun?  I am not sure.  Well it has been fun.  I am off to bed. 

Stuck in the Mud

Well today started off decent but it seems like it ended a bit squishy.  I was going to meet with a friend and have dinner in Round Rock, TX area but that didn't go so well due to the fact that I actually got stuck in the mud here at the little Circle K truck stop.  Thankfully I was able to get  pulled out and it only cost 300.00 and a lot of embarrassment.  It could have cost me a lot more but it didn't.  I need to get my truck a bath because there is mud everywhere on her.  That will cost me another 50 or so.  Well I'm off for bed now.

Irritations of the day

Today was an interesting day on the road.  It started with no phone service for almost 2 days it was truly agitating.  I wish people would not worry so much about what I do.  I don't do anything of serious danger I just drive a truck and heaven forbid I miss a phone call or I am out of contact people seem to be in a frenzy and go crazy thinking I died or something.  My mother in particular.  She needs to remember I am 41 and I can take care of myself.  I do not need to be babied and such.  It was really infuriating when i got service back today my poor phone blew up.  It was lots from both my mother and wife.  Life in the road is a great pleasure and very quiet not dealing with loads of people just the ones who cannot drive
