Day 144, June 20, 2015 Nebraska, Colorado

Still in Nebraska. Don’t have to be to Walmart until three so was hoping to sleep in a bit but we’re up at 7:30 anyway.  It’s a pretty day here sunny and bright. It seems there is always a nice breeze. Got up took a shower and now going to take a nap since it’s going to be a long evening.  Greg’s clock won’t start until 12:30 so his 14 won’t be up until 2:30 AM.

DG:  Fastest unload we have had at any Wal Mart. About an hour and a half from the time we hit the dock.  We were hoping to get a load to California and I couldn’t believe it when I saw the message over the Qualcomm that we are headed for Colorado to pick up some meat then back to Missouri.  Hoping the next load will take us to the Golden State.  

Stopped at a little hole in the wall on I-80 because Precious got sick and threw up a little.  The gas station was closed but the little cafe next to it, Lucy’s, was open so we went in there to use the bathroom. Feeling obligated to buy something for the use of the facilities we sat down with the intention of eating a light snack as we had been snacking all the way from Nebraska. Low and behold this little place started filling up shortly after we sat down, there were already several full tables, and the special today is prime rib and jumbo shrimp. Who would have thought. So we are having the prime rib. 

There’s a hand written sign by the bathroom door that says “We keep our restrooms clean for our customers. Please be a customer.  

Annie – Dinner was delicious.   The prime rib melted in your mouth.   I would not have thought that looking at the place but everything was great.   

Now we are off to Cargill, the meat processing plant I can’t stand to go to.  I really thought we were done with these things.   I can’t believe Greg went to California several times in the last couple of weeks and I get in the truck and we end up back at the meat place again.   Gross!   I am trying a new tactic.   Cinnamon fire balls.  Helping a little I guess. 

The load is a pick up so we don’t have to wait to be loaded which is good.   The less time here the better.   Now we are off to Missouri – the opposite way from California.  

We have stopped for the night in Colorado.   Goodnight y’all.  

   
    

God is good ain’t He?  Good night and God bless.
