Very uneventful day on the road.  Drove up to Tawas City, Michigan where I deliver Monday morning.  I'm right on the shore of one of the Great Lakes, Lake Huron.

Went to Vance, AL this morning and got my load of brand new crane mats.  Got on the scale, I'm 79,620 pounds. Just barely legal!! They are going to Tawas, Michigan.



Drove all day stopping only once to pee.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Gaston, Indiana.

My reset is finally over.  I did make good use of my day at the truck stop.  Got out one of my tarps and patched a couple holes, one rather large one. Today drove to Hermitage, Arkansas and got a load of brand new crane mats. 





Drove them up to Memphis, Tennessee and delivered them this afternoon.  The flooding in Arkansas and the Memphis area is amazing!  The place I delivered today was expected to be flooded out in two days, according to the people that work there.  It was about half a mile from the Mississippi River. 

After I delivered I drove down to Tuscaloosa, Alabama for my next load.  It is in Vance, AL.  I am only 15 minutes from there.  On the way here I passed a lot more tornado damage.  Unfortunately traffic was a bit too heavy for me to get many photos.  I did manage to get a few (not very good ones) and here they are:
