Delivered the excavator first thing this morning. Drove down to Waco, Texas, and loaded a Caterpillar TH1055 Telehandler that is going to Weston, Wisconsin.
This morning I went for donuts, and then over to Walmart to resupply a few things. While I was out, it is not very often I could bobtail around, so I decided to do a few "touristy" things. I drove out to the Cadillac Ranch. I have been past it on I-40 a zillion times, but I was never able to stop by and get a closer look. There were several other cars there and a tour bus.
I left half an hour before sunrise this morning. Drove 517 miles nonstop to Amarillo, Texas. Dropped my trailer at the Caterpillar dealer where I am delivering on Monday morning. Then I went straight over to the Big Texan to eat.
It was fairly crowded today. There was one guy doing the 72-oz Steak Challenge. Unfortunately for him, time ran out before he could finish. I had the 16-oz prime rib. I ate it all, plus a salad and 2 rolls (not pictured). It was delicious!!
I waddled back to the truck and drove back to the Caterpillar dealer to sit with my trailer for the night. Gonna sleep good tonight!!!!!
I left a half-hour before sunrise this morning. Good day on the road. Only a small amount of bumper-to-bumper traffic today. Drove 600 miles to the TA truck stop in Kilgore, Texas, for the night.
Well, I'm back to work again. Feels good to be moving!! Went up to Brunswick, Georgia, and loaded a Caterpillar 320 Excavator that is going to Amarillo, Texas.
This morning, I went over to the Port in Jacksonville. What a screwed-up Port that is!!! Brunswick is a very well-run Port, Jacksonville is not!! Anyway, I loaded a Caterpillar 950 Wheel Loader.
I left there and drove to Ocala, Florida, and delivered it. From there, I went back to the Daily terminal in Jacksonville, stopping to get the truck washed along the way. I'll be here for a little while, taking care of a medical issue.
