Lazy Day Weekend

Well, we're still in Dallas, Tx. Got here Thursday and waited until afternoon Friday before getting a load for another destination. The only problem is that it doesn't pick up until Monday late afternoon. That means a long, lazy weekend in Dallas. A chance to get caught up on a few things like sleep, laundry, showers, grocery shopping, post office, etc. It's just a wonderful feeling to be able to go to bed and NOT set the alarm for a couple days in a row.

I've been playing on the computer and getting some reading done. We bought a new toy for Ron and he's having a ball playing with it. We got a gps for the truck that has all the latest features available--points of interest, truck routes, construction zones, traffic delays and more. I'm not that familiar with it yet but he seems to love it. He can even program different voices. Right now the voice belongs to Samantha. She seems to have an attitude problem. We tried her out on the way to the post office this morning and Ron said he may have to delete Sam and add Tom if her attitude doesn't change.

When we leave here we have about a 4 hour drive to our pick up and then another 5 hours to the delivery point--a fairly short run for us. The problem lies in the fact that we pick up at 5 in the afternoon and don't deliver until 7 in the morning. So we will have to find a place to lay over. If we get held up a little late during delivery (it happens a lot here) we may be able to have lunch with my sister Lori. Our delivery is about 20 miles from her in Arkansas. One thing about this new job--we've seen family more this past few months than in the past few years. LOVE IT!!

If the sun stays out a while longer I may get a picture of the outside of the truck. If I do I'll post it for you. We get stares all the time. Until next time we'll keep dodging!!!
