2 RVs to 1,000 Oaks CA (delivered)

... spending the night at home


Slept in a little late again today. BB wanted to get a walk in again before breakfast. I wasn't too worried about it ... once I get home I will be out mowing or working in the garden half the day so I get my movements in. Not really sore anymore, just slow moving.


As we are heading out the door for our walk, we see the sign again we saw last night. "Power will be shut off at 9 AM." It was now 8 AM ... so it ended up being a short walk, a quick breakfast and wash up and out the door.


Breakfast was a crisp egg and cheese omelet and a mild sausage. Good, but the sausage still had enough grease that one was enough.


Williams Flying J was our stop for fuel. Gift card still not working. This is the lowest price fuel we will see today and it was halfway to Forest City.


At Forest City BB used the rest room and I started moving things to our car. Saw one driver heading out. To FL. It was a trip that had just been put on the load board within the hour. The driver must have been sitting there. Only said a few words to him and we were gone.


I stop in Albert Lea at Loves for fuel. Gift card doesn't work here either. (BB stops at the Holiday next to the airport so the car is delivered on full.)


On I-35 there were miles of single lane traffic due to road construction. Lots of it at 10 mph ... that was because someone had rolled a cement truck. Looked like it was one of the ones from the road construction that got too close to the edge of the road. I don't think the one truck they had was going to lift it, not if it was loaded with cement.


That added another 15-30 minutes to our trip.


Did see a few trash trucks in transport heading south. There is still one going to WI that would work for me. Nothing out of IA works, nothing on the rental list works. May need to call my local dispatcher if I want to work. If.


By the time I pull in to the cemetery, BB is calling me. She must have been just enough ahead of me that the slowdown didn't slow her down as much as it did me. She warned me that there was a lot of traffic at the airport and there was. Actually saw two police officers trying to keep traffic moving. But people were just loading and un-loading all the way out to the 4th lane of traffic. Horns meant nothing to them. They were doing what they were doing ... right there.


We stopped for food at Davanni's before heading home.


Tomorrow ... maybe ... I will call to set up my DOT.
