Spending the weekend at the J here in NC. I was packing up my gear to do some quiet web surfing when the skies started to blacken. I took this picture, fielded a question from a nearby driver about rotten egg smells from his truck (battery problems), and grabbed up my gear and headed inside. 50 yards from the door, the floodgates of heaven opened up and I scuttled into the building, managing not to get totally drenched.
Searching for a free spot to plug into the Internet, the only spot left was in the near empty restaurant. No sooner had I settled in than a dozen screaming kids in baseball uniforms and 2 dozen adults showed up. Joy…
That was a long hour ago, they are just now leaving… My hands are still shaking, either from the screeching or the quart of coffee I had this morning.
Had a good run today, into and out of Canada. The weather was very nice and cool, the folks who received my "freight with a face" were very helpful (although one older gent kept trying to climb onto my trailer while is was STILL MOVING) and I did have to pay the US Government for the privilege of returning to my own country. This time, anyways.
Now I’m back in the USSA, (you don’t know how lucky you are, yay) and will pick up my next load bright and early tomorrow AM. So right now, I’m at rest, its still daylight, and everything’s nice and quiet.
The only way it could be better was if I was back home. For being on the road, this is as good as it gets for me…
