There no business like snow business.

Looks like Mother Nature likes me after all. I am sitting in Sioux City, IA and was told to be expecting 1-4 inches of snow... I'd say barely half an inch fell and stuck. Most of it is melting off already. I'm not sad about that either. I'm so ready for spring that it's just not even funny! I had a taste or two of spring while I was enjoying the warmer climate of southern Mississippi late last week. As you can see, the trees are already beginning to bud down there.

Spring time is blooming!

In the morning I'll make my way to Worthington, MN to deliver my load of chep pallets to the Swift Pork Company, which apparently is so large of a facility that you "just can't miss it". I hope that's accurate... I hate searching for places that people say are obvious but aren't in reality. LOL

Who knows where I'll go from there... hopefully towards home. Right now I'm basically two good days of driving away from home, but I'll be doing a bit more than that hopefully. I'd like to see two or three loads this week before I settle in for a few days off. But we shall see!

If things go well tomorrow, I may be heading to meet potiential new management before going home... but what tomorrow brings is up to tomorrow.

Come on now your teasing us. I learned patience from sitting around loading docks hurry up and waiting for 27 years. I can hold for a little while longer on the possible change. If you don't tell us soon I'm going to have to charge you detention though.

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!

Blowin' Stuff Up

Man, I've been seriously fortunate lately. Since I last posted, I had the pleasure of finally putting that darned HAZMAT endorsement to use by taking a load of potassium nitrate into Canada. Of course, my initial reaction was to wonder why my dispatcher hated me enough to do this to me. But then I realized it was just a fine opportunity to expand my horizons. I was afraid that the load was going to be a huge hassle when crossing the border. Turns out, they didn't give two craps about what I was hauling. I approached customs anticipating much ado and received...well... nothing. I was in Canada in less than 5 minutes upon reaching the border crossing. Woo hoo! So far so good. So I arrive at my destination and find myself thinking that finally the tables have turned and luck is running for the hills. The place I delivered to was a small "airline hanger" of a building on a road that was restricted to 5 tons per axle (which equals NOT ME). Of course, I had to tak
