 I left at sunrise this morning.  Today was mountain and bumper-to-bumper traffic day.  About 5 or 6 different areas of B2B traffic were caused by lane closures from construction.  Lots of ups and downs through the mountains of North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.  Only 464 miles today.  Stopped for the night at the TA truck stop in Mineral Wells, West Virginia.

 I left Carlisle at about 3:45 AM EDT and drove to the Port of Baltimore in Dundalk, Maryland. I got there before they opened, on purpose, to beat the rush hour traffic.  When they opened, I loaded two John Deere  6M 145 Tractors that are going to Belle Glade, Florida.

Left there and drove to the Petro truck stop in Kenly, North Carolina for my 10 hours.

 Last night at 10 PM EDT, I left and drove to the "home office" in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. I have to have some repairs done to the trailer on Monday morning. After I woke up this morning, I did my errands: I went to Walmart, did two loads of laundry, defrosted my freezer, and cleaned the inside of my truck.  Now I can settle down for the rest of the weekend and relax.

 Left at 11:30 PM EDT and drove the rest of the way to Newport News, Virginia.  Got there a half hour before they opened.  When they opened, I delivered the wheel loader.  My trailer needed some repairs, so I started off for Carlisle, PA to get it fixed.  Stopped for my 10 hours at the TA truck stop in Ashland, VA.

 I left at about 11 PM CDT and drove up to Henderson, Colorado.  That is on the north side of Denver.  Got there when they opened.  It took a while to load because they had to take the bucket off the Liebherr  L546Z Wheel Loader. Once they did that it was loaded on my trailer.  It is going to Newport News, Virginia.

I left there and drove to the TA truck stop in Limon, Colorado for my 10 hours.  Saw lots of pronghorn elk along I-70. 520 miles today.

 This morning I delivered the wheel loader.  Then I went to Walmart and restocked.  After that got the truck washed.  Parked at the TA truck stop in Amarillo to finish my reset because I only had 46 minutes available today.   Got some good sleep this morning!!

 I left at midnight and drove the rest of the way to Amarillo, Texas.  516 miles.  Parked at the Caterpillar dealer, where I'm unloading Monday morning.  Then I went to sleep.

For dinner, I went to, where else?  The Big Texan!!

There were three guys taking the 72-ounce challenge when I got there.  None of them made it.  The guy with the full beard lasted the longest, but in the end, the steak won out!!

Here is my steak.

It was so good!!!!!!!

Then back to the Caterpillar dealer for the night with a full belly!!!
