Well, I came home from Cleveland and didn't leave until this morning. Nice break for a few days. I took a short run to Louisville this morning and now I'm headed to Pittsburgh. I'll be delivering in Pittsburgh in the morning and hanging out there until I find something reasonable.
I was never so happy to see blue sky as when I got back close to Cincinnati and had the first day without rain in several days.

ORH- If you make it back to Houston sometime - what's the going rate for delivery of a couple cases of Saranac Beer from NY?
j/k (kind of) - Wishing you safe travels, I like reading your updates
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
Sitting in Pittsburgh now. I need to get out of here soon. Too many Steelers fans.

Headed for Norfolk. I'm hearing the weather won't be too nice there.

Well, I spend quite a bit of time at home lately, but I'm back out. Currently sitting in Elk Mound, Wisconsin, about an hour from St. Paul. I'm staying at my dad's, which is cheaper than burning fuel at a truck stop.

I have a load of relief supplies delivering in Galveston tomorrow afternoon. I haven't been there in a couple months and I'm not really looking forward to seeing what things look like now.

Well, Galveston was an absolute mess. They've made some progress, but it didn't look anything like the last time I was there. Sad. Houston was not much better. Traffic is a nightmare all over the city with the lights out on a lot of secondary roads and more people taking the highways. I was going to go to the game tonight, but I found a load to San Antonio and decided to take that instead. Short trip, but it's money and making it is always better than spending it. So now I'm in San Antonio getting ready to get some sleep and hoping to get something out of here before the weekend.

Did you go through Tennessee last Monday? I saw a van just like yours.
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
I went across the state from Nashville to Memphis. I spent Monday night in Nashville and pulled out of there early Tuesday morning and went to Shreveport. If you saw me on Monday, it would have to have been around Nashville late that night. There are quite a few of these vans on the road these days.

After doing 825 miles straight through from Akron, I'm now in Ft. Valley, GA, a little town just southwest of Macon. I think I'm going to head up to Atlanta for the weekend and try to get something out of there for Monday.

I got home from Georgia last night and I'm headed right back south. I have a morning pickup in Indiana and a Friday afternoon delivery in Orlando.
