Sunny South

What a nice break after the snow flurries in New York state! So last night J got us to just outside of Columbus,GA and I got us in to Kohl's in Macon around 1100 am today. After we dropped we didn't have our next load yet so I got directions from the guard to Wal-Mart. We bobtailed over there and stocked up on supplies. While we were pulling in we noticed a BBQ place so we stopped there and had lunch. Pretty good meat, great spicy BBQ sauce, but the mac-n-cheese left a lot to be desired.

Anywho, we got our next load. We dead-headed (pulling an empty trailer) 170 miles to Savannah,GA where we picked up a load going to Patterson,CA. SWEET! We will deliver Monday morning, which is before payroll cutoff, and that will give us 6400 miles on this coming Friday's paycheck. Not bad at all for a weeks work. Last week we had 5100 miles and had the restart mixed in there. We are happy with the past two weeks. Looks like the next two weeks will be just as good. Which is a good thing since we will be seeing my Mom for her birthday at the first part of December and I want to spoil her since it is her 60th!

Oh, also last night, we were going to try to meet up swith Jack and Sharon, some friends of ours that work for the same company. We were south bound on I-95 and they were north bound on I-95 but we couldn't find a place. So we passed in the dark. Maybe next time we will get to visit with them.

J is going to get us to Atlanta I think tonight, maybe a little further, then we are going to call it a night. Gonna have to kick ass to get this load 2600 miles by Monday so we will get a few hours non-moving sleep tonight, then hit it hard till Monday. Probably have to do a re-start again because we will be almost out of hours. But we like the re-starts. They get us rested up so we CAN do the 6000 mile weeks without feeling like we are killing ourselves.
