Hi All, This trip has been a fun one. It started in Arizona on January 29th.I went to California, Oregon 2x, Washington State 2x, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin 2x, Illinois 2x, Indiana 2x, Ohio 2x, Kentucky and I'm in Tennessee right now. The strange thing is, it is 40 degrees here right now. That is 80 degrees warmer than where Ive been this trip. When I got out of the truck, I thought that I should put on some short pants. That's how warm 40 degrees felt to me. I will deliver at 8am tomorrow and then I have to sit for 34 hours to reset my 70 hour work week back to zero. I have to do this from time to time to stay legal with DOT. Sometimes I go months without a reset. It just depends how hard I choose to run and the snow and ice runs, suck up a lot of time. I am well right now, but will need a trip home soon. Maybe early or mid February.

I hope all of you are well.

The old girl is frozen! Ice fog in Minnesota.
I think that I would rather have snow than ice fog.


Drivers side mirror after getting fuel in North Dakota. It was blowing about 20 miles an hour. Thank God that I do have heated mirrors.
