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!

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 ...
