Made a Walmart run this morning to restock on some stuff.  Then settled in for a day of some great college football.  

I told you I would post photos of the cameras that were installed the other day.  I forgot.  So, here they are.  One on each side.  There is also one forward facing on the windshield.


Well, the Gators did a lot better this week.  

That may be our last win for a while.  South Carolina next week in Columbus.

 When my ten hours were up at 2:30 AM EDT I left.  Drove to the Daily Yard in Carlisle, PA.  Had to stop there and have a little problem fixed.  I'll stay there for the weekend. I'll deliver on Monday morning.

Hope the Gators can do a lot better tomorrow.  Homecoming against Vanderbilt.

 Went over to Burlington, Iowa to the Case plant.  Got there when they opened.  Loaded two Case 580 Backhoes that are going to Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania.



Left there and headed east.  It started to rain about halfway through Illinois.  It rained the rest of the day.  Lots of slow-n'-go traffic going around Indianapolis.  Lots of combines working the fields this week.  Mostly soybeans and some corn.  I like to see them working.  Stopped for the night at the Flying J truck stop in Spiceland, Indiana.

 Left a half hour before sunrise this morning and drove to Peru, Illinois.  The guy from the job site met me at the Interstate exit and led me to the site.  Glad he did!!!  Here is one of the intersections we turned at.  He is in the blue pickup in front of me.


I knew I wasn't going to hit him.  I just wanted to scare the crap out of him so that maybe he will think twice before trying to cut off another semi-truck.  I think it worked.

Then we made it to the job site.




My next load is tomorrow morning in Burlington, Iowa.  I started off that way and stopped for the night at the Love's truck stop in Monmouth, Illinois.

 Left a half hour after sunrise this morning.  Had some slow-n'-go traffic going around Atlanta.  The rest of the day was very good.  Drove 580 miles to the TA truck stop in Mt. Vernon, Illinois for the night.

 Went over to the Port this morning and delivered the wheel loader.  It was challenging.  Had to build two ramps then back it off.  It still got stuck halfway off.  To make a long story short, I was able to get it off.  My next load was up in Tifton, Georgia.  Drove there and loaded a water tank section that is going to Peru, Illinois.



Left there but didn't get very far.  Stopped for the night at the Love's truck stop in Macon, Georgia.

 At sunrise this morning I drove the rest of the way to the Daily Yard in Jacksonville, Florida.  Will deliver tomorrow morning.  

Here is a breakdown of my blog readers from last month.
