A Weekend of Much-Needed R & R

We are back in Indiana for a 3-day weekend but not close enough to go home. We're in Evansville waiting for a pickup on Tuesday morning. That load will take us near Columbus, Ohio which is a good thing because we need to be in Green, Oh. on Wednesday morning so the truck can undergo a routine test on the reefer box. As soon as the testing is done we are going home for a much needed rest until after a family reunion in Lafayette the following weekend.
I want to wish my dad a belated 80th birthday. It was yesterday and we didn't stop the truck until after 10:00 to eat dinner and get to bed. I did talk to him on the phone at least. Happy Birthday, Dad. We love you.
This has been a very tiring week, physically and emotionally. We have had to try to keep in the midwest area because of the testing next week. Consequently we've had a bunch of little short runs that will run a person ragged. The hot, humid weather isn't helping much. The rain only makes it more humid and when I open the truck door it feels like a blast furnace. Ron says it's been storming during the night a couple of times but I never heard a thing. Either he's dreaming it or I'm doing my best sleeping through it all. :)
I have a few more things to take care of on the computer so I better get busy. Ron likes to have his turn on it once in a while. We are seriously considering buying a notebook so he can do his thing at the same time as me. If he's playing a game or surfing I could wait for hours for him to finish so I get a chance. So, until next time . . . . . .
