1 trash truck to Johnson Creek WI (delivered)

... spending the night at home

Up at our usual time, go for a walk once it is light out.

With our medical appointments coming up, BB is looking hard at doing things differently. Sitting all day and eating fast food is not the recommended way to live a healthy life.

Breakfast for me was yogurt, for BB it was left overs from last night.

Nothing good shows up on the load board so by 8:30 we head home. There were a few trips added heading to MN but nothing added from WI all day.

First stop was the rest area in Lyndon Station.

Both yesterday and today the back ups on our side did not seem to be as bad as the other direction. We still had our slow downs and road construction. This time coming into one of the merge area's there had been signs telling drivers to stay in their lanes until the merge signs. And this time traffic was pretty good at doing just that. I was just about to the merge sign when the car ahead of me merged so now I was the first car in the lane that was ending.

The guy behind me flashed his lights at me and blew his horn. Guess they thought I should have hit the gas to get right to the end of the merge lane. I didn't. And when I didn't move any faster or out of the way ... they merged in and stayed away from me. Even when the car between us exited, they stayed two blocks behind me. MAYBE they realized they shouldn't have done that?

Somewhere after that I finally got paid. BB was in shock. I had told her yesterday my hearing must be going because the dispatcher ... I thought had said $$. I was right. We worked 12 hours over the last two days and got paid 4x what our better trips pay. It was worth working on a day we had planned on taking off.

It would have been even nicer if we had decided the night before so we could have picked the truck up at 8 AM and been back home by 8 PM. But we wouldn't have, because then we would have taken at 2nd and maybe third leg.

2nd stop is for food and fuel at the Kwik Trip in Menomonie. Another rib sandwich for me.

NOW we are done for a few days, maybe a couple of weeks. Leaving tomorrow AM for Nashville and will be back Tue/Wed. Then appointment Thurs. Then lab on Monday, another appointment Tuesday. And have to make another appointment before we leave town, maybe 2-3 more.
