Got on the road real early this morning and drove over to the TA truck stop in Bloomington, Illinois.  Wanted to get here early enough to watch ESPN College Game Day.  I love this time of year!!!!!!!!! So glad football is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now it's time to settle in for an afternoon of SEC Football.

And then tonight.

Got an early start this morning.  Was doing pretty good until an idiot driving a Jeep SUV bounced off a couple guard rails and came to a stop blocking half the bridge.  No emergency vehicles on scene when I went by.

Met up with my two pilot escort cars at I-75 exit 41 in Kentucky.  Had to have them for the re-route.

After that I continued on up to Cincinnati, Ohio and delivered the drill.  Next load will probably be in either Decatur or Morton, Illinois so I started off in that direction.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Greensburg, Indiana.

Went back over to Pembroke, GA this morning and picked up my trailer.

Left there a half hour after sunrise.  Amazingly had absolutely no problems going through Atlanta!!  Continued up to the Petro truck stop in Knoxville, Tennessee for the night.  I'll get an early start in the morning.  Will have 2 pilot escort cars through a portion of Kentucky that they have routed me off I-75.

It sure was nice to be off for a while.  Had a fantastic vacation.  But now it is time to come back to reality. 

 I left the yard in Jacksonville this morning at 5 am EDT and drove up to Pembroke, Georgia.  That is about 25 miles west of the Savannah exit off I-95.  To start my triumphant return to work off just right, the machine was not ready.  They said it wouldn't be ready until this afternoon sometime. So I took a long nap.  At 5 pm it still was not ready, but I was well rested!!  At about 5:30 they were ready.  Loaded a CZM Drill Rig.  It was not easy.  Finally got it on, but it is not centered real well so it leans a little.  Oh well, I'll deal with it.  Once I finished securing it to the trailer, I dropped the trailer there and drove bobtail to the TA truck stop 32 miles away in Richmond Hill, GA for the night.  I'll have photos tomorrow for you.
