 As soon as my 10 hours were up, I left.  Nothing interesting at all today.  Drove 680 miles to the TA truck stop in San Antonio, Texas for my next 10 hours off.

 My next load is Monday in League City, Texas.  I started off that way.  On the way I stopped at a rest area to use "the facilities".  Took a couple photos of the scenery for you.

Continued on to the Petro truck stop in Demming, New Mexico for my 10 hours.

 Once again I went back to the job site and reconnected with my trailer. Got there at about 6:30 AM MST.  Sat there all day again watching the fighter jets fly over my head.  At 6 PM MST, I FINALLY got empty!!!  I was the last of 5 trucks to unload.  I went back to the Love's truck stop that I had been staying at all week, but it was full and overflowing.  I left there and went to the TA truck stop in Tonopah, Arizona for the night.  Have no idea where I'm going next, but I'll bet it won't be very close by.

 The three of us went back over to the job site first thing this morning.  I took off the tarps and put them away.  Then we sat there all day!!!  I enjoyed watching the fighter jets doing touch-n-goes at the nearby Luke Air Force Base.  They are amazing machines!!!  They would fly right over us at about 500 to 1000 feet.  The thunder of the two engines in the F-35 Lightening II is incredible!!!

The F-16 Fighting Falcons are not as loud, but still very impressive.

This afternoon they decided that we would not get unloaded again today.  We dropped our trailers and went back to the Love's truck stop in Buckeye, Arizona for the night.

 I went over to Walmart first thing this morning and restocked some essentials.  Then went back to the job site.  When I got there found out that it was still too wet and muddy to unload today.  Will try again tomorrow.  Went to a different Love's truck stop to wait.  This one is in Buckeye, Arizona.  A much better place.

Where I'm delivering is very close to Luke Air Force Base.  See a lot of fighter jets doing touch-n-goes.

 Left this morning timing it so that I didn't get to Tuscon, AZ before 9 AM.  Had no problems with traffic today.  Drove the rest of the way to Waddel, AZ.  When I got to the job site where I'm delivering found out that the crane crew was sent home today because the rain turned the place into a muddy mess.  I almost got stuck in the mud.  I found a place next to the other trucks that were there to unload.  There were three other Daily trucks with stuff to unload.  Their trailers were there but not the trucks.  I dropped my trailer there too.  From there I bobtailed to the Love's truck stop in Tolleson, AZ for the night.
