Up at 6 am.  Heading on in to Ardmore, Oklahoma with our marshmallows.   I think that is so funny.

A bit rainy this morning.   Hopefully it quits before too long.   Not bad, just drizzly and cool.

Had a nice drive through the country to get to the Dollar General distribution center.   This is definitely cattle country.   We were supposed to pick up an empty trailer but they didn’t have one ready yet.  They were all full and needed to be emptied first.  So they routed us to Oklahoma City for an empty trailer at a Kenworth dealer and now we are off to Liberal Kansas for meat of some kind.  Mary, we took your advice and I found some menthol rub at one of the convenient marts and am going to put that around my nose if this place is like the others.   Then we are headed to Kenosha, Wisconsin.   It’s just outside of Madison, north of Chicago and looks like it’s right on the lake.  Hope to get some good pictures.

It has been rainy all day.   Thankfully not cold. Just wet.   Hope it clears up soon.

The rain finallly let up about 3 oclock or so.   Still kind of hazy but sunny in spots.

We didnt quite make it to the meat packing place tonight so we stopped at a truck stop in Woodward, Oklahoma.   You can tell you are close to a meat packing plant when you are in a lot with a bunch of cattle trucks, some full, some empty.   Got to keep the windows rolled up tight!

We have got to be on the road at 4:30 in the morning to make our deadline of 7 am.   Ate the last of the barbecue, at least for me.

Hope all of you are doing good.   No stories lately of snow so thats good!

DG:  Heard where Yeager runway fell off the hill.  Terrible.  I figured something would have to give once all that snow started to melt.

Cows everywhere.  We passed through one little town, forget which one, and there was a steak house on every corner.  Wish we could have stopped, but none had truck parking.

Sitting here in the truck stop looking at about a dozen or more livestock trucks.  Sure is smelly.  Glad it’s cows instead of pigs.  Pigs are a lot more stinky than cows.  The way they pack those cows in those trailers they are probably glad to meet their maker after that ride.

Didn’t get to drive as much as I had hoped.  Had enough time on the clock to get to where we are but not enough to get to the next truck stop and closer to our destination.  Held up again at the drop.  What should have been a 15 minute drop and hook ended up being a two hour search for an empty trailer.  Hazard of the biz.

Okay, I’m late and it’s getting me so better to bed go.  See how tired I am?

Good night and God bless.

Oklahoma City early am
