Got on the road just before sun up.  Short day today.  Drove 270 miles from Salina, KS down to Garden City, KS.  I deliver here Monday morning.

Got on the road just before sun up.  Beautiful day on the road.  Made it around St. Louis and Kansas City today with no bumper to bumper traffic.  How about that??!!  Passed the two stadiums in Kansas City.  The baseball stadium, where the Royals play, is directly in front of the football stadium where the Chiefs play.  Unfortunately, I was only able to get a photo of the baseball stadium. 

Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Salina, Kansas.

Got on the road after sun up.  Picked the worst time to go through Atlanta.  Rush hour in the rain and fog!!  Of course it was bumper to bumper a lot!  Going under the runway at the Atlanta airport was really cool this morning.  The cloud ceiling was about 50 feet and the planes were landing on the runways that I-285 goes under.  They would just appear out of the fog and rain just as they were going over the road.  Hard to describe but really cool to see.  North of Atlanta drove out of the rain for a little while.  At the top of the mountain in Monteagle there was a bit of sleet.  Then a little freezing rain around Chattanooga, TN.  Fortunately that didn't last long.  

By the time I got to Illinois it was cold and partly cloudy with bright sun.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.  There is a Chili's restaurant across the street so I had a good dinner tonight!!

After the mechanic fixed the small problem with the trailer I got on the road.  Stopped briefly in Kingsland, GA. Then on up to Pooler and loaded a Volvo 150G Wheel Loader. It is going to Garden City, Kansas.

Got on the road and drove up to the TA truck stop in Jackson, GA for the night. That is on I-75 just south of Atlanta.  Started to rain in Macon and it is still raining.

Nothing all day!!!  Finally late this afternoon got a load in Pooler, GA for tomorrow.  Drove to the Daily yard in Jacksonville for the night.  Need the mechanic to look at a small trailer malfunction in the morning.  Then I'll go up to Pooler and load.

Made my way down to Panama City and dropped off the dozer.  No load yet so I went back to the TA in Marianna.  After having lunch I went into Chiply and did my random drug / alcohol test since my number came up.  Finished that and went back to the TA for the night.  Hope something comes up tomorrow.  Don't like sittin' still.
