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
