Believe me, I tried logging on this past weekend with no luck in the area I was in, the message being "Cannot Acquire Data", which means if AT&T really had more bars I"ll be drunk more often!!!!????!! HA, HA!! I really tried to announce on Sunday----HAPPY --th BIRTHDAY DAD!!!! I won't reveal his age, he's actually younger than the he says!! I love you pop!! Hope you had a blessed day!! Well another week passed---here's the highlights---Load was delivered on Kentucky on the 8th, the next load sent us all the way into upper upper Michigan in Marquette. We stayed about an hours drive before delivery in Rapid River,Michigan. That night it was a very comfortable 43 degrees. Loved it, slept like a baby! Next load picked up in Escanaba MI that moved us into Coon Rapids Minnesota. Did I mention all loads so far was paper loads(appx 43000-44000lbs ea load). Another paper load picked up in Sartell MN to deliver in Lomira Wisconsin. Why not add another load of paper from Wisconsin that delivered in Hamilton Ohio on 6/15. Finally a load that delivered store merchandise to a mall in Springfield Illinois on 6/16. The next load had us picking up a load of tires in Mount Vernon Illinois going to Gainesville Georgia, but someone in the office decided to have a bright idea and wake up the Mrs at 2:45 in the morning to change the load. It was a relay load from another driver who coulnd not deliver it on time that went to Chicago Il. Not my favorite place to drive/deliver/pick up in. Traffic..Traffic..Traffic.. Okay enough. We delivered this load to the Toy's R Us retail store in the heart of Chicago. Got the load there on time..but Traffic....Here's why this time. Pictures is worth a 1000 words, and no I don't know how badly anyone got hurt..Well next load we're picking up from a Bobcat plant in Illinois delivering in North Dakota... till next time...a hui ho...Gus.

Things from this week...6/1-5...
Since last blog we delivered that load in Sartell,MN. On the way there the Mrs and I stopped off at this rest area that had a scenic look out. We had a little extra time before delivering the load so we walked to the lookout. Well it was longer than expected (more than 1/2 hour with some hills), the Mrs was huffing and puffing when we stopped. I laughed a little,(shouldn't have, paid for it latter) but it really was a nice walk. Next delivered the load, spent the night on their lot and picked up a load 3 miles away from Electrolux heading to Laredo,TX some 1418 miles away. It's Friday and that load got delivered and the next load is staying with the over 1000 mile trend with 1261 going to Lexington,KY that will keep us busy through the weekend and delivers on Monday. No pictures this time, need to load it from the camera yet, will keep you posted. I noticed more new followers. Thanks for looking in. Kids,your mom needs to be checked up on every now and then..!!HA!!. Jaime, changes her picture every so often, I like that, New one with Alan?? Good. (Replies to Bill),Gus is my nickname back home. It was something given/earned by my best friend Masao. A friend like no other, through thick and thin this Guy and his wife has been there for me and my family and that's something special that I hold near and deep in my heart!! I also seen your last blog with Mule, I'll work on something for y'all, and I'm not sure if you meant it like that but aloha is not spelled AHOLA......peace out love y'all...see ya..Gus
