Awoke from my dream just after the third trailer in a set of triples came to a stop after crossing the oncoming traffic. I was in a car next to it when it happened (in my dream)


Usual breakfast, got going early. Lots of fog this morning. I thought it would be too dry for fog.


First stop is just an hour down the road at the Pilot in Cheyenne. This is the cheapest fuel before Ogallala and we don't have enough gas to make it there. Plan was to put in a couple of gallons to get us there, but I started the pump and looked at my emails ... and the tank was full. That cost us all of about $.75, by filling here instead of Ogallala.


Next stop was Ogallala, GasBuddy said the cheap fuel was at Wal-Mart but by the time we got there it was cheaper at the TA. The has switched gas from Tesoro to Sinclear since the last time we stopped here. Pump stopped at $9.98, the amount I had planned on putting in in Cheyenne.


Lexington for lunch. We decide to get 'fast food' another try. Arbey's ... this time the order took 3+ minutes.


Kearney is our next stop at the rest area. In and out.


Council Bluffs at the Pilot is our fuel stop, this time I do want to fill it. Gas does not get any cheaper from here home.


Somewhere between Council Bluffs and Des Moines my country music station comes in. And a notice of severe weather. Where we are is clear skies but a look at the radar shows storms all the way in to MN.


We stop at Wendy's for our to-go food. In and gone in about five minutes.


A few minutes later we are at our Sleep Inn in Ankeny. Not the cheapest but we have gotten spoiled. We haven't stayed at a Super 8 or Days Inn for a long time.


It was almost a 12 hour day today with no long breaks. But by pushing it, we should get the car back a day sooner and save almost $100. The work board is back up over 60, it hasn't gotten down to -0- yet. Not sure what it will be like next Friday when we are looking for work.


Tomorrow we need to pickup our car and get the rental back to MSP. We have a couple of hours to spare so we are not real tight on time. Then I need to get my blood tested. And I'll call and see if I am needed to go to Crookston over the weekend. If not, I will likely head out to Mom's.


Nothing major on the highway today, which is a good thing. Watched oncoming traffic for any transporters. Saw a few, but no buses today.
