Well, the SEC Championship Game went as well as could be expected.  Their defense kept them in the game again.  The offense was still putrid!!!  Congratulations to Alabama.

Can't believe that the college season is over already!!  Wait all year for it and it goes by so darn fast!!  All that's left are the Bowl games.  Gators will be in one, just don't know which one yet.

Since I'm not doing much today, I thought I'd post the video of me unloading the excavator off the other trailer.

Another driver brought another Caterpillar 329F Excavator from Baltimore but was unable to deliver it.  He brought it to the Daily yard here and dropped his trailer, grabbed another trailer and took off to get another load he was late getting.  I unloaded the machine from his trailer and loaded it on my trailer.  Had plenty of time and room so I was able to shoot some more video for you.  So here I an loading it on my trailer.  Hope you like it.

After I got it loaded and tied down I took it across town to the same place I delivered the other day and delivered it.  Then went back to the Daily yard.  My next load is Monday morning.

Nothing today.  Will do a local move tomorrow.

My escort didn't start off the day very well.  On his way to meet me he got stopped for speeding.  Fortunately he didn't get a ticket, but it made him about 45 minutes late.  Once he got there we hit the road.  When we got back to I-40 he dropped off and I continued on into Oklahoma City and delivered the excavator.  I decided to try something and hung my video camera on my chest while I unloaded the excavator.  The video wasn't the greatest but I put it below for you.  The next time I try this I'll do a much better job.

After I delivered I went to the Petro truck stop for lunch and a shower.  After that over to the Daily terminal in Oklahoma City to wait for my next load, whenever that is.

Left this morning at sunrise.  Drove in the rain for the first part of the day but then it was just overcast.  Aside from that, it was a very nice day.  Stopped at the weigh station in Oklahoma so they could check my permit.  As I was going in I saw this sign.  Do you see the humor in it?

The only two kinds of people that go in there are cops and truck drivers.  If either one of them need brail the motoring public is in serious trouble!!

Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in Checotah, Oklahoma.  I have a State imposed detour off the Interstate that requires an escort.  My escort will meet me here in the morning.  Here is my detour route.
