Ohio here we come

Today I have had a headache that just won't go away. ARGH!

Made it in to Oxnard around midnight last night. J got us to the consignee and we dropped off the load and had to wait there for a couple of hours to get another one. Got the next one and headed to the LA Maintenance yard to pick up and empty to take to our pick up. I got up when we got the the Maintenance yard and started driving there. Drove to the shipper and picked up our load and then headed to Fontana to the OC to fuel up and shower. Grabbed some breakfast, they make excellent breakfast burritos there, and then grabbed two huge salads, two big to go bowls of mixed fruit and a chicken salad wrap. We always get some of that to go from there because they make it fresh every morning and the portions are huge. Anyway, so I took off driving from there around 1045 or so. Made it to Havasu City,AZ where I am currently sitting at around 1445. Stopped here until around 1800 tonight. J didn't get much sleep with us stopping and showering and stuff. And I don't want him driving until he has had some decent sleep. He will still probably get in about 500 miles if he gets gone by 1830 and drives until 0300. Now I know what you are thinking. It will take that long to go 500 miles? Remember we are in a truck that is governed at 67 so we don't make anywhere near as good of time as someone in there personal car makes. :) We are headed to Findlay,OH and should be there around lunchtime on Friday. It is a little over 2200 miles from where we left in LA. If we can get a decent run out of there on Friday, like back to California, then we should have over 5500 miles for the week. So we will see what happens.

So that is what is going on today. Now I am going to close this up and walk across the parking lot in the 109 heat so I can go to the bathroom.
