I'm still around

Did you miss me? Didn't think so.

Well, my first student finished his training period and is now in command of his own truck and by all accounts is doing well. I had a second student but he got off the truckk after only one week to settle problems at home near Dallas TX. I am currently running Green Bay WI to Vancouver WA, sitting at the Space Age truck stop in I84 in Oregon, will deliver my load in three hours (early) and then will pick up student driver number three in Portland.

His first load will be a doozy: Portland to San Diego via I-5. The mess at the base of The Grapevine where many vehicles crashed and burned in the southbound truck tunnel will challenge him, as will the ever-present traffic jam in Los Angeles. I can only speculate on the continued existence of my drop yard in San Diego after the wildfires swept through. Time will tell!

In other news, my marriage to my sweetheart is on track. She is going nuts planning the event by herself (I am not much help, unfortunately). But most of the big things are nailed down and paid for. The sole exception is the reception, which is being changed daily as she finds a "better" venue. I personally plumped for Golden Corral, a buffet chain, but she won't hear of it.

I will post a few photos of the wedding in early December so stay tuned!

Anyone know a nice, safe place in Las Vegas where I can park a bobtail for the Thanksgiving holiday? I'm not sure I can trust our drop yard there.

I will post again when I can!
