OK, they destroyed the marshmallow teams.  Next week is the REAL test when they go to Auburn to start playing the SEC teams.

 This should be another cakewalk today.  Just hope their defense improves.

I left at about 4 AM CDT.  In Dallas, they had I-635 shut down to work on one of the overpasses.  5 lanes to 1 and exit.  Then they dumped everyone off but had no signs to direct the traffic.  Had to figure it out by yourself on how to get back to I-635.  The whole mess took an hour.  After I got through that, I drove to where I deliver on Monday.  Parked outside the gate for the rest of the weekend.

Now it is time to settle in for some great SEC football!!!!

For a reminder: go to the "Load Of A Lifetime!!  I'll Never Forget It" on the right side of this page and review it.

I left at about 3 AM  and drove to North Little Rock, Arkansas.  Loaded a Caterpillar 150 Motorgrader that is going to  Cleburne, Texas.  

Left there.  Southwest of Little Rock, drove through a thunderstorm and a lot of very heavy rain.  After a while, it cleared up.  I stopped for the rest of the day at the TA truck stop in Mt. Vernon, Texas. 514 miles today.

 In Mississippi, I could run at night, so I timed it so that I would get to Louisiana at sunrise this morning.  Because of that, I was able to make it all the way to Aubrey, Texas, and deliver the wheeled excavator.  Getting very low on hours, I went to the closest place to park, which was a small convenience store in Farmersville, TX, with a few truck parking spaces.  583 miles today.  Finished with only 20 minutes left on my clock.

 I left half an hour after sunrise this morning.  Had a very nice, uneventful day on the road.  Stopped at the TA truck stop in Meridian, Mississippi, for the night after driving 483 miles.  My back is a mess tonight.  All kinked up and very sore.  Hard to move.  Hope tomorrow it is better.

 This morning, after the Jacksonville curfew was over at 9 AM EDT, my pole car and I headed to the Port in Brunswick, Georgia.  Got there and delivered the De-Icer.  My next load was right there at the Port.  I loaded a Caterpillar M322 Wheeled Excavator that is going to Aubery, Texas.  

This heat really beats the life out of me!!!!   I left there and went over to the TA truck stop in Brunswick, Georgia, for the night and a long, cold shower.
