Left this morning heading north.  Had to have an escort in Maryland.  Met my escort at the West Virginia / Maryland state line. He followed me for the whopping 12 miles through Maryland then dropped off at the Maryland / Pennsylvania state line as I continued on.  Drove to the "home office" in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.  I'll be here for a few days.  Have a few things to get accomplished while here.   Also Daily Express annual banquet is Saturday night and I'll go to that. Then back to work again Sunday or Monday.  I'll let the weather decide which day I'll leave here.

Nothing exciting today.  Left very early this morning in the rain.  By the time I stopped for the night is was bright, sunny sky.  Warming up nicely.  Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in Clear Brook, Virginia. Tomorrow is a very short day.

Was over at Caterpillar in La Grange, GA first thing this morning to load.  Loaded a Caterpillar 522B Forester that is going way up to Londonderry, New Hampshire.

Left there in pretty good time.  The weather was a concern today.  Ice storm was predicted for this morning.  It started to rain as I was loading.  Rained all day.  Had no difficulty getting around and past Atlanta!!  Amazing!  But from Atlanta north the State had shut down for the storm.  I stopped for lunch in Cartersville, GA.  While there heard that the Interstate north of there was closed due to a 40 car pile up that happened earlier this morning.  I did some research and found pout that they had just opened up the Interstate again and traffic was moving fine.  Whew!!  I continued on to the Petro truck stop in Knoxville, Tennessee for the night.

Tonight The College Football National Championship Game!!  Can't wait!!  

Doesn't matter who wins, the trophy is back in the SEC where it belongs!!  Ya baby!!
