Friday - early
About 300 more miles of driving plus offload the truck and I'll be done until Monday. I can only hope and pray that I don't have any tire issues today, things I can deal with next week. No one can say I didn't try to get it dealt with, that's a fact. I am driving the truck around 65mph when loaded to keep the vibration down. You keep it up at 72 and it feels like the truck is shaking apart. Something, somewhere, is definitely not right!
I wanted to keep it a secret from the kids about going to 6 Flags but mom let the oldest know. Oh well. He didn't tell his younger brother, tho, so that one is totally in the dark about what we're doing. We were talking about it and the younger thought we were talking about going to El Taco - a decent Mexican food restaurant in town. No, that's not what we're doing. He's clueless.
However, the older also doesn't know that I am taking them from the daycare today and heading over to Dallas today. They like hotels and I am relatively sure they will very much like the one we are going to. I'm not telling either of them. We'll just hop into the SUV, get out onto the Interstate and away we go! Where are we going? Just out to eat - that's what we'll do after we get to the hotel, get checked in, get the rooms and get done with everything. Oh, btw, you might want to play your games or something, the restaurant is about 2-1/2 hours away! lol!
Yes, I'm a bit psyched. Be nice to get out of town and go somewhere other than trucking. I mean, I go out of town on an almost daily basis, just none of that is appealing, at all.
Well that's it. Not a lot of time here, just drinking a cuppa. The other driver said I didn't need to show up up there earlier than I normally do, he won't show up before I leave anyway. I'm just thankful that he agreed to switch. IF I DO have a problem, at least I'll have some extra hours to deal with it. That was mostly why I asked him to switch, the other reason is I can get home in time (hopefully) and get my stuff done, load up the vehicle and get an earlier start. Maybe get over there by 5 or 6ish, really would like to get out of here as early as possible and try to beat Dallas Rush Hour Nightmare On Elm Street With A Dosage Of Chucky Added To It traffic.
G'day.
