The wind farm just west of Palm Springs. 

Nice sunset. As you can see its getting to the buggy time of year. At least in the south.  

This is the tree in front of Bodacious Bar-B-Que. It must have died and they had somebody carve it. Americana at work. http://photos1.blogger.com/img/264/2346/640/Bodacious%20Bar-B-Que.jpg

Ontario,Ca. at the TA travel center. My home away from home.This only shows a small portion of the parking lot. It is huge. 

South of Clearwater,Fl. leading up to the Skyway Bridge.  

Another view of the Peak. Notice how green everything is. Its usually brown. The wall is hiding a nice camper park, you can just see the tops of a couple of the campers. 

Taken from Eloy,Az. east. You can see Picachu Peak on the right. Nice view of the fuel prices,also. 

Another shot of Mexico. 

This little trickle of water is the Rio Grande River. This is the border between Mexico and the US. It is very windy today so there is a lot of dust in the air.  

Texas is the only state that can fly their flag at the same level as the US flag. This is because Texas was a Republic before joining the US. They also have the right to split into 4 states. I can't imagine why they would want to , but they could. This was taken on I-20 just south of Ft. Worth,Tx.  

Here we go...

I'm loading this afternoon in Montgomery,Al. going to Rancho Cucamonga,Ca. This will be a nice slow trip as I have an appointment at 6PM on Monday. Give me time to get comfortable. All is loaded and I'm off to the shower and then I'll leave. More from the road...

Ready to go!

My truck is fixed and I'm ready to go. Usually I get something that will load on thursday or friday that I can unload on monday, so that's what I'm hoping for. My truck was $3400 and the other truck was $8400 so they both missed the estimates by quite a bit. My other driver should have unloaded in south Florida yesterday, so I'm expecting him in this morning some time. Meanwhile I'll be getting my truck ready to go. If I load tomorrow that will be 2 1/2 weeks at home, its time to go. I'd better get started on the truck, so more from the road.

On the way home last trip, somewhere in Louisiana. My truck is still in the shop. I hope to get it out tomorrow. Its time to go, I've started doing yard work around the house. lol 

In southern Utah a couple of trips back. Durn slow trucks.lol 

Change in Plans

A small change in plans, apparently both my trucks will be done today,so no trip in the dually this time. Almost two weeks at home and hardly anything done at all. Well I did get some new software installed, so I guess it wasen't a complete loss. I also put a new lift pump on the dually. Which,by the way,should have been done under warrenty. Hill-Kelly Dodge in Pensacola said it went out because I had a 115 gal aux tank put in the bed. They couldn't explain how the truck was running by gravity feed out of that tank, but they said it strained the pump. And they wanted 650 dollars to fix it. I had the pump overnighted from Indiana and it took about an hour to put on. Total cost 326 dollars. I think I might just get a spare pump to carry with me. The heart attack comes this afternoon, both of my big trucks are supposed to be done today. I'm looking at around 9000 dollars for the two. And it might even be higher. Oh well, I didn't really want to retire this year anyway,lol.
I added a few more links to Ham friends in trucks, and while I was at it I put every bodies call sign in with their names. I don't know if anybody checks these links out or not, but it is interesting to see where everybody is and where they are heading. You can also see their speed and elevation. Lots of info there. I actually get calls when I'm on the road from people who follow me if I don't move for awhile. Last trip I had a little time so I stayed in Jackson,Ms. and read a book. Dan and Tony Baloney thought I'd had a heart attack so they got the manager at the Flying J to come out and check on me. I'd let my cell phone go dead and nobody could call. Lazy bums were afraid they'd have to be pall bearers!
