old friends are new again

well, tonight as i was getting out of the truck to spend the evening with the wife and the dogs, my phone rang. as i went to answer it i noticed thew number was from our old stomping grounds, so i answered it and was greeted with "what are you wearing under those clothes?" i was pleasantly surprised at that greeting as i hadn't heard it lately, mater of fact, it had been about a year since that greeting was given to me. i have thought alot about the greeter, since she was and still is one of our bestest friends and i was a speaker and a pall bearer at her late husbands and one of my best friends funeral. i miss him. she called as she was going through her phone changing numbers from 1 to another. it was a special surprise and now that we have her new number we will keep in touch more often.

i gave her the address to this page and hopefully she will come check it out. she, however, doesn't know my rule about my friends names. that is, i will NEVER use my friends real names unless they give me their express permission to do so. that said, i would like to welcome Betty from Chicago to the page. also, she may give this address to her step son charlie, who is in his second year of college in Ohio, and the wife and i are sooooo proud of him. way to go charlie, keep it up.

its been quite a week since my last post down in Miami. went about 4 miles to get loaded with steel shelving going up to a place in Kansas city, mo. had to push a bit harder than i wanted to cause i got tired in tifton Ga and went to bed for about 6 hours. ran from tifton Ga to warrenton mo and went to bed for bout 4 hours and made delivery at noon in k.c. mo.. sat for 30 mins and dispatch sent me to k.c. ks. to load for okc, got that here and since i was getting new steer tires put on today, i just went to bed again, and got up late and had to wait for my turn to get in the shop. when done they gave me my new load, 3 drops finaling in Portland,or. on Wednesday. called the wife, and since we just spent 800 bucks to get the car fixed, had her get it out on the road for a short road trip to here. now we're in the motel, for the night, shes sleeping, I'm typing and getting tired too.
