Thanks for the B-Day messages!

Yep, another year has come and gone for me. I'm at home for the moment getting ready to leave for another two week run tomorrow. My home time schedule is changing from three weeks out and five days at home to something like two weeks out and three days at home. This is not by choice, but the powers that be don't like my old schedule, so it is changing. Company drivers gotta roll with the punches sometimes. Besides, it will give me more frequency of time at home, and that is a good thing. Three weeks gone is a long time, so I'm ready to mix it up a little.

I passed my HAZMAT test, now I just have to get through the background check and the fingerprinting, which cost something like $85.00, so this will be taken care of after my next paycheck. This should help bring more miles to me, and I think I'm ready to run HAZMAT now. Looking back on my last year on the road, I think it was a smart move not to tackle that until now. It's not like I'm going to be carting toxic waste or anything, but there are very strict rules about this kind of driving around big cities, and I for one really want to keep out of jail. I hear the food is awful, but the health care is fabulous!

Anyhoo, I'm feeling much better than I did last week, so I'm going to try to keep up on the old BLOG better than my last trip out. Miles are picking up, and that can only mean that the first quarter is over YAY!

Be safe out there.

Phoning it in...

Still feeling crummy, so here is a video from a few days ago, as I listen to it, I think I hear my cold coming on!
