Because I was able to drive at night in Mississippi I was able to leave earlier that I normally would.  I timed it so that I would get to the Mississippi / Alabama line right at a half hour before sunrise.  Worked out real well.  Because I was able to leave when I did, I was able to make it to Ocala and deliver the excavator today.  Otherwise I would have had to wait until Monday.  After delivering, I drove up to the Daily terminal in Jacksonville.  Be here for the weekend.  604 miles today.

Left a half hour before sunrise this morning.  For some reason Texas routed me right through the middle of downtown Houston.  Of course, I got there at the height of rush hour.  It took forever to get through Houston.  LOTS of bumper to bumper traffic.  Finally made it past the mess!!  Drove to the Flying J truck stop in Gulfport, Mississippi for the night.

This morning drove back to the Port in Galveston.  Loaded another Caterpillar 336 Excavator that is going to the Keen yard in Victoria, TX.  

Left there and drove to Victoria and delivered the excavator.

Then reloaded another Caterpillar 336 Excavator that is going to Ocala, Florida. 

Left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Ganado, TX for the night.  Very tired!!!! Going to sleep very early again.  Good night.

Left very early and drove in to Galveston.  Did good, beat most of the traffic.  Very foggy!  Loaded another Caterpillar 336 Excavator that is going to the Keen yard in Victoria, TX.

Drove down to Victoria and delivered. Tomorrow going back for another one.

After unloading went back to the TA truck stop in Ganado, TX for the night.

Not feeling real good again today.  Horrible headache and upset stomach.  A little vertigo too.  But I went into the Port of Galveston first thing this morning anyway.   Two cruise ships in port as I passed by.   Carnival Dream and a Royal Caribbean ship that I didn't get the name of. Loaded a Caterpillar 336 Excavator that is going down to the Keen Yard in Victoria, Texas.  

Left there and drove to Victoria and delivered the excavator.  Was feeling a lot better by the end of the day.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Ganado, TX.  Took a very long hot shower and let the steam work it's magic.  Tomorrow going back to the Port for another excavator.
