Day 122 May 29, 2015 Annie – Ashland, Greg – Illinois, Oklahoma

DG:  Sorry about yesterday.  I was bushed. Three weeks out of the truck, had some getting used to.  Got real used to sleeping in and eating very unhealthy.  Back to slim Jims, bananas and peanuts. Road food. 

Stopped early in Oklahoma just west of Tulsa.  An hour and a half left on my clock and the next rest area 72 miles away. Not a problem with my last truck that did not have a governor on it, but with a max speed of 62 mph didn’t want to risk running over on time. 

Went through some torrential downpours.  Was keeping an eye on this bugger too. 

   
 

It looked a lot darker and more forbidding than it does in the picture.  Tuned to weather radio and there were flash flood warnings all day. Every river and stream I passed was over the banks or right ready to burst over. People do crazy things in that kind of weather. At one point I was coming up on a car that had pulled over to the shoulder on the right with his hazards flashing and just ahead of him a car was half off the road to the led with his blinkers on making the vehicles in the left lane swerve to get around him. I guess some people just panic. 

Well, like I said I’m parked for the night at a place that’s almost a truck stop. The main store is about the size of half a single wide trailer, restrooms on the outside but they have about a dozen parking spaces and I got me one. 

Love to all and especially my sweetie pie who I am missing something terrible. Love you baby. 

Good night and God bless. 

Annie – Miss you and love you too sweetheart!   Hope it’s a quick trip to California and back.   

We haven’t done much around here today.  Too busy binge watching shows we missed on Netflix.   Lol 

Going to turn in too.   Goodnight y’all.
