I'm in Hubbard Ohio for fuel. I don't think I'll pick up Reese until next week. I think I'm going back to Iowa after New Jersey. |

I'm back in Hubbard Ohio, I delivered in Wayne New Jersey, Saturday at midnight I load out of Youngstown Ohio going to Estherville Iowa. Then I'll probably go back to New Jersey so I can have next weekend off for the family reunion. I've got to go in and eat dinner, then I have work to do in the truck, getting things squared away.
I have a GPS with DeLorme Street Atlas on the computer. |

LHT left this note insulting most of us and hasn't been back since. I imagine he'll pop up in half a year trying to reintegrate as himself or as another user. |

Good morning! I just returned to the truck from a Hollywood shower and breakfast. I was up late last night getting things squared away in the truck, I mounted the microwave oven, DirecTV receiver, and television, ran extention cords to power them, it's starting to feellike home. |

Greetings from lifestyles of the broke and obscure. I'm in Waterloo Iowa. 773 miles for today, I deliver in Estherville Iowa tomorrow morning, or whenever I get there. I had to get going this morning at zero dark thirty, loaded out of Youngstown Ohio and put the truck into the wind. |

I didn't get out west with the other company, it remains to be seen what happens with this company.
I'm in Lemar Pa. on the way to Dayton New Jersey. I deliver Thursday morning and then I should have the weekend off at the YL's mom's house for the family reunion. Then off to parts unknown. Reese is coming down from Vermont with the YL and he'll go on the road with me from there. |

Watson's charges too much! 
That's where my parents buy all their pool supplies... and also, where they bought their pool table. |

I love your avatar They - it conjures up some good memories... I did a water colour painting years ago of my Dad's boots with a can of Budweiser next to it (I was in Vermont at the time, otherwise it would have been a bottle of Molson!), I called it "Daze End", my brother has it now. |

Thanks 
When I was pregnant, my family always joked that if some kid said to Mare: "You're mama wears combat boots" (whatever that means lol).... she'd just say "so?"
That sounds like a very cool painting. |
Irene007

Yeah... I kinda'd like to have it now! My brother used to always say that about your mamma and army boots too!  |
cabinfever

I never did get that saying about your mama and combat boots. My mom wore combat boots like the ones in They's picture for many years. |

I have no idea what they charge, but man they sell a lot of spas! Keeps gas in my air poisoners. |

| | #37 posted August 17, 2007 at 10:37am (EDT) |
I think if I ever decided to get one... Watson's wouldn't be the place to go... It's over by the uppity side of town.... and they price for it.
My old man really, really, really wants one.... I don't even like them that much. It's way down the road though... we have to first re-do the patio.  |

I'd rather a spa than a pool - Matt useS the pool a lot more than I do so it's his responsibility but with the spa; I'd be in it all the time. It's relaxing, you can cool off in it, you can use it in winter... More benefits as far as I'm concerned! I WANT ONE!! |

Reese and I are on the road again, we had a good weekend at the family reunion in New Jerkski, and now we're on the way to Omaha Ne. and Marshall, Mn. The YL brought Reese down from Vermont with her for the reunion and I took him on the road in the truck. We had a great time. |

Davonport Iowa, on the way to Omaha Ne. to deliver in the morning. The first two days on the road with Reese, he slept on the floor under my feet against the door while I was driving, today he's been laying on my lap while I drive. He's adjusting. I started driving at 05:00 central time this morning, I need a nap. |
