Hi Again it's just us!!

We've been back on the road since May 5 and I only place 1 blog since then...shame on me..Well since then we had it rough. Miles been low for a better time of it (2 weeks worth of it)and we only sat waiting for loads. Hanging out mostly on the East Coast from Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut. It's Sunday night 5/31 and the current load came from Maine going 1726 miles in 3 days to Sartell,Minnesota that delivers Monday 6/1. Last week miles has been better for us and this load is a good start of the new week. I noticed a new follower to blog. What's up?? Hey, I got your message on 5/11 I'll call later and explained what happened and thanks for the birthday wish. No pictures this time, cameras in the truck and will update next time. Currently in the Gary Indiana OC which we call the Chicago operating center (OC). Well till next time......aloha's......Gus..

Pictures from Mothers Day and Birthday ride

Here the photographer is doing a silhouette on the pass window of me.

Look, canoe racing! (nah!) row boating in a Connecticut river.

Worcester,Conn. Looks like a train depot.

Not sure which Church it is, but it is nice in Connecticut.

Morning sunshine, wake up to natures beauty.

Happy Mothers day to all Moms. Its been a long week. I didn't feel well so I did not go to the races during my time off. Went back on the road 5/5 Tuesday and been suffering for miles ever since. First load out to Taylor Pennsylvania then to Hagerstown Maryland, then off to South Portland Maine then now to Dayton New Jersey. Sound like a lot but its not. We will keep holding the faith that things will change soon. We'll keep smilin' and taking pictures of our road trips. till next time....it is what it is....Darrell

If it can Happen it will....hey a new one....

I know by now your wondering what's going on with us. Remember the last load I was working on(the delivery to Goodyear) in Illinois? Well the Mrs and I went to bed around 8:30pm, we planned on delivering the load at 8am on Thursday, around 2:30am my phone starts ringing(for those who know me,my phone is my alarm clock also). I look at the number first and see the 920 prefix from Green Bay. It's a call to help save a load from another driver who had truck problems and a load that needed to be delivered Thursday afternoon. I double checked to see if I could make it there first before I accepted it. I could but it would be tight. It was a 3 stopper to Home Depot, 2 in Kansas City Mo and 1 in St Louis Mo. I accepted it because it would get me home for some much needed time off that was coming up. Problem was I could not deliver the last delivery as scheduled, well they relayed the last delivery because I would run out of time in Kansas City. Good news bad news, needed a place to park overnight in KC MO. I called my trucker buddy Bill for directions to the casino.(see I remember Bill visited it not too long ago). Ha, got the truck parked, filled up on a casino buffet.....mm mm...then proceeded to attack the machine that made the most noise and that still has the handle for the 1 arm bandit. No luck of course, the Mrs had more luck than me as usual, but we still walked away happy and refreshed. I'm posting pictures of the casino and a lucky shot of the Mrs in action...till next time....aloha...Darrell
