Day 100, May 7, 2015 Annie – Ashland, Greg – Illinois

Up at 6:00 having a sit down breakfast waiting to hear from dispatch regarding their plan to get me back to the terminal by morning.

Stopping short of my pickup. Called and the load is not quite ready. I’m about an hour out and it should be done by the time I get there. We shall see. And then. It’s on to Kansas. 

Waiting in my office. 

 
That’s me at the Armstrong flooring plant in Kankakee, IL waiting for a door into which I will park my truck and wait to be loaded. Silly me I thought this was a drop and hook. Fooled again. But this will be the last time. 

Somebody figure this out for me. I passed two signs on the way here, on a two lane country road, that pointed the directions to two different nudist colonies. In northern Illinois?  Must be a summertime only thing.  One was Sun Aura and I think the other was Paradise Colony. I think.  

 Annie – Wouldn’t be so bad if the nudist colonies were young people but the ones I saw when working in Florida were all old retired people.   Not a pretty site!  

Glad you are almost ready to head this way! 

I finally finished the taxes this afternoon!   Yay!   Jake came in from school and wanted to bake a cake so we made a confetti cake.   Waiting on it to cool.  

Otherwise not much going on here.  

DG: After checking in at 12:40 and told to park and someone would be out soon to get me. Well, two hours go by and I decide to call.  I think the message that I was waiting got mishandled because the guy I spoke to this time was unaware I was waiting, but he checked with somebody and assigned me a door. They should be done soon and I can be on my way. 

Annie – Had a nice evening with Abby, mom and Haruna.   Watched the first hobbit.  That movie never gets old.   Took them home and probably should get ready for bed.  Going to see my babies tomorrow!!   Can’t wait. 

Talk to you tomorrow.  Goodnight y’all. 

DG: Up at 4:30 am.  Last leg of last trip with Trans Am.  Looking forward to new beginning.  Kiss the grand kids for me sweetheart. I love you bunches. See you soon.

Good night and God bless.
