Hi All, Well after 10 days of using Chicago as a hub to go to Minnesota and back, to Iowa and back and then inner city runs in Chicago, I snapped. I took a load out of Chicago that went to Indianapolis, Indiana. I spent the night in Indy and the next morning I drove to Louisville, Kentucky to pick up a load that goes to Harrisonville, Missouri. After I get loaded, I have to stop at a truck stop and get the truck and trailer weighed to make sure I'm legal to be on the road. The bad part was, no truck stops on the Kentucky side of the river, so I had to run into Indiana to get weighed. This is normal. When I got off the freeway in Indiana to go to a truck stop, it was pouring down rain. A lady driving a bronco pulled out right in front of me. I had to lock all brakes and throw the cab into a small jackknife to miss her. ( They don't teach that in school) I rolled down my window and yelled "where did you get your license, Pennsylvania" I pulled in and got weighed and took on 225 gallons of fuel, when I saw her across the street setting up a fresh fruit and veggi stand. I should have let it go but I was pissed. I parked and headed across the street to let her have it. I got about 4 words out when she reached under the table and pulled out a solar & wind powered stun gun and hit me in the zipper. As I fell to the ground, she stuck a carrot down my coat and yelled "Jedidiah He's got a carrot" Jedidiah weighed about 800 pounds and chased me all over the truck stop. See picture below.


She's not so sweet.



It's not where you go for a candle light dinner, It's where dinner is cooked over a candle light.

Here are a few shot that Sammie & Austin sent to my phone of little Maisie.

Just what I like to see rolling down the highway.




Army trucks with bombs on them.
