Just for Looks...

Thought I'd post some pics for your enjoyment! So.. well.. Enjoy!

Along side the storm. I-74 Indiana.

A storm looms over head. Ok, well it's more to the south than overhead. I was rolling west bound on I-74 during this storm. Most of it skidded along the south side of the highway and thus the worst of it was missed by moi.

A rainbow for Gi-Gi! I-64 Virginia

The lovely rainbow above was spotted along I-64 in Virginia just the other day. It was a small but wide band of beautiful and vibrant colors. Too bad my camera just can't do it justice!

The storm ahead... and boy it was a doozy! I-64 Va.

And this is the storm that the rainbow was spawned from. I could see it for about 8 miles before I got to it. And when I did get to it... it was horrific! The wind was gusting at probably 50+ mph and the rain was coming down by the gallon. Forget buckets... it was like someone turned the sea upside down on that 3 mile stretch of interstate! Traffic of course slowed to about 15 MPH with flashers and freakout skids off the road. morons.

A blind side backing obstacle.

The challenge of the day: an obstacle course through which to blind side back! Nothing wakes you up in the morning like a good challenge. Lucky for me I am a trained professional who doesn't mind getting out of her truck about 15 times to check to see where I'm going and what I'm not hitting!

But I made the blind side backing look easy. haha

And finally, I bumped the dock! I think I even impressed the dock workers, as I know I impressed myself. It was a pat on the back... little did I know that the rest of the day's backing chore swould not go as smoothly. No... I didn't hit anything, but I had to do about a million more pull ups and G.O.A.L's. ha!

Why is there never anyone around to see us do a great job of backing - but casts of thousands when we can't back for s***?

Amen Decorina... it never fails that when you're having a bad backing day there is always an audience.

I remember one particular day that I hit every hole on the first try... three times I backed in with not one single pull up... and NO ONE saw it but me. lol

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every ...
