Didn't realize that I was just about of hours this week.  As soon as my 10 hours was up I left the parking area.  Drove to the Pilot truck stop in Cotati, California.  Will do my reset here.  

Now it is time to settle in for a full day of SEC college football starting with ESPN's College Game Day.  Then at noon EDT it's the Florida Gators at South Carolina Gamecocks.  GO GATORS!!!!

Left at 9 pm PDT and drove all night.  On State Road 37 in the San Francisco area, check out what this idiot did.  Sorry about the bug.

He pulled into a blind spot.  Damn luck he didn't get my bumper in his lap!!!  

Anyway, continued on up to Santa Rosa, CA and delivered the drill.  My next load is up in Tacoma, Washington.  I started that way, but due to a lack of hours I stopped at a parking area on the side of 101 in Cotati, CA.  As soon as my 10 hours is up,I'll get out of here.  Going to sleep now. Phone is off.

Left at 1 am PDT this morning.  My travels today took me past the entrance to Meteor Crater,  the Grand Canyon, and the Hoover Dam.  Then on up to Las Vegas.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to stop there. Just remembered the good times from all the past trips there as I went by.  Continued on into California.  Stopped for the day at the TA truck stop in Barstow, California.  I'll be starting again before midnight PDT tonight.

Left at about 6 am CDT this morning.  Passed the remnants of a trailer fire.

I think that load will be a little late.  Made it through New Mexico and into Arizona.  Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in Winslow, Arizona.  Such a fine sight to see.

Left at sunrise this morning in the fog.  Fortunately it wasn't too bad.  Slight sprinkles of rain most of the morning.  Going around Dallas saw another crash happen in front of me.  When you watch the video, notice the jack ass in the red car change lanes in front of me then stop right in the middle of the Interstate highway to look at the crashed vehicles.  What an idiot!!!!!!

Continued on up to Amarillo, Texas.  Stopped for the night at the Big Texan.  They have truck parking in back.  It has been a while since I've been here.  The Big Texan limo was dropping off people in front.

Here is the view from my table. No one was doing the 72 ounce steak challenge tonight.

First was warm rolls.

Then the rib eye steak.

It was delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot to post the score of the Gator game.  They put up a real good fight.  Was a great game, but in the end, LSU was the better team and it showed

Anyway, this morning I left a half hour before sunrise.  Very nice day on the road.  Hit rain in Hattiesburg, Mississippi then on and off for the rest of the day.  Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Left the Daily yard a half hour before sunrise this morning.  Drove to the Love's truck stop in DeFuniac Springs, Florida for the night. Can't drive in Alabama on Sundays and I don't have a Mississippi permit yet so there was no reason to keep going.  Not a whole lot of places to park past here.
