Fontana,CA

Well, it appears we drove cross country and I didn't update this. Sorry about that. Ever time I was able to get online, either I kept dropping the signal or we were on a bumpy ass road and typing was about impossible. But we made it here in one piece.

You know how we were so exited to get a run to California? We were so happy to get this load that was headed here to Fontana. Two reasons actually. First, and most importantly, we were able to get out of the north. We have been up there since mid November so this was a very welcome run. We knew that in Fontana, we wouldn't have to use chains or a coat. Perfect. So let me tell you how our luck goes. Yesterday moring I got up and started driving in Oklahoma City. I drove us to the casino at Acuna,NM which is at mile marker 104 in New Mexico about an hour west of Albuquerque. As I am driving, it keeps getting hotter and hotter. Well, I am driving west, and towards the end of my shift, I am driving into the sun. I figured it was just that, and the fact that we have been cold for months, and that was the reason I was getting hot. At this point I have the A/C on high and all the way on cold. The air is luke warm. It is actually cooler outside where the temperature is reading 81. J gets up and make a remark about how he isn't sleeping because it is hot. As luck would have it, our A/C went out. Now, how is that for luck? Sometimes I think if it wasn't for bad luck, we wouldn't have any luck at all. Well, not really. We actually do have good luck, it is just things happen like this to us. As I always say, go with the flow....

The second reason that we are excited to come to Fontana is that we are looking forward to meeting one of the students that is in class. We met him on the other website we visit, pumpkindriver.com and he was the one who was generous enough to send us the camera we are using to post pictures with. We will finally get to meet up and buy him that dinner that we promised him we would buy him whenever we were able to meet up. Since we are at the OC here in Fontana, we are going to have them fix the A/C and we are due an oil PM so we put ourselves available tomorrow morning. That way we can get all that done AND buy Mark dinner tonight. :)

So that is what we are up to right now. I am sitting in the OC and J is in the truck taking a nap until time for breakfast. Then a little later we will get the truck into the shop and a ride to the hotel when we can check in. I figured we would get the truck in the shop after breakfast because J really needs a little bit of sleep before they start messing with it. He gets grouchy if he hasn't slept. :)
