no trailer brake lights!?

Got pulled into the back of a weigh station yesterday 6-26 in Watson,MO because the trailer brake lights weren't working...HAHA...totally thought it was cause the weights weren't good. I was so nervous when Big Daddy was in the guard shack, big sigh of relief when he came out. Had to wait for the lady to come out and do a full inspection,
which took awhile cause there's were a few more trucks that got pulled in after us but oh well no biggie, she said we couldn't move til it was fixed BUMMER!
  So Big Daddy took a look to find out why the lights weren't working, found out it was electrical...BIGGER BUMMER...or so I thought, Big Daddy fixed it...that's right my mans smart lol
So all is good, delivered in Omaha,NE this morning and we'll be headed to Tulsa,OK tomorrow, hopefully NO TORNADOS!!
Actually to be perfectly honest I want to see the funnel clouds just keep the actual tornado away lol
Thanks for reading, hope your enjoying this blog until next time
Stay classy y'all

Beautiful sunrise in Michigan this morning!

You cant tell from the photos but the sun was bright red when it was rising!

here we go again!

So we did a 34hr restart over the weekend, got a full 70hrs of drive time Monday 6-18 morning and not to long after we got a load, picked up in Portland,CT 6-18 n delivered in Waynesburg,OH yesterday 6-20. Well when we picked up I was getting out of the truck to help Big Daddy move the trailer axle 'tandems' so that our weight was legal, which is steer tires 'front truck tires' cant weigh more than 12,000, the drives 'back tires on the truck' and trailer axle 'tandems' no more than 34,000 on each.
  
  Anyways when I was stepping down to the ground, under my right foot in all its glory, a freakin rock. Next thing I know I roll my ankle and land flat on my back in the dirt, HA! that'll teach me to look at the ground before stepping down, which I do keep a three point stance '2 hands 1 foot or 1 hand 2 feet' every time I get in and out of the truck and I always look at the ground to make sure Im not going to step in or on anything, hmm Im not sure why I didn't this time? All is good though, yea my ankle/foot hurt still but hey it'll heal up...dang rock in Connecticut!
 
   On another note were in Ohio...SO HOT! got another load under us headed to Napoleon,OH and it looks like the planners are headed us back west, which Big Daddy is happy with, cause he really doesn't like it on the east coast, me on the other hand, I like it! Id rather be on the west coast but Im happy anywhere we go. Im not the driver so I think I enjoy it more over here ;-) Being able to see beautiful places that most people never get to, I feel so blessed to be out here with him. I know Ive said it before but seriously I cant imagine being out here with anyone else, hes great at what he does n Im so proud of him.
I trust Big Daddy with my life, that's why I don't worry bout the traffic, weather and messed up roads, he can get through it all no problem. Speaking of the messed up roads, there's so many tolls over here that are there to pay for the roads to get fixed, so question is why are the roads still messed up?
seriously its like a roller coaster or riding a mechanical bull. I don't get it, if the tolls are really there to pay for the roads to get fixed it should be smooth sailing not messed up.
!!GET THE ROADS FIXED!!!
until then I guess we'll all just enjoy the bumpy ride whenever were on the road.

another state gets crossed off!

Well we'll be crossing off another state from the list when Saturday 6-16 rolls around because we're headed to Connecticut tomorrow!  We'll only have 6 more states to go til we have been to all the continental states, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont will be all that's left to visit, seriously cant wait til I can say "we've been to all 48 continental US states, now we're working on going to Alaska and Hawaii!"
we want to go to Alaska and Hawaii of course so we've been to all 50 states but those
two will be a vacation someday. Until then Ill just keep dreaming!

the Christmas spirit even in the heat of summer! Delivered earlier today and got another load so well be headed to Michigan tomorrow morning. This pic is from Iowa, every time I look at it, it makes me feel all peaceful inside :)

Its not the traffic that gets under my skin...

So we were driving on I-84-E in Idaho today,
construction everywhere but not to bad.
I get irritated though in construction sites,
not from the traffic but its the workers getting out
of there cars/trucks near the open lane not paying attention to vehicles passing by...
gah look and make sure no ones coming,
your door hangs in the open lane...
HELLO YOUR GUNNA GET HIT!!!
do everyone a favor don't park and get out of your vehicle so close to passing traffic,
there's a reason there's designated parking on the side of the road away from any traffic
for you guys...USE IT...don't be irresponsible!
on another note...the flaggers out there with there backs to on coming traffic not paying
attention to your surroundings, stop trying to look all cute and think your invincible...
your not you can and will get hit so PAY ATTENTION!
your not out there to be eye candy, you got a job so do it...face traffic be aware of
everything going on around you.
now that I got that off my chest I feel better! Today has been great other than being
irritated for awhile lol beautiful weather all day!
were in Jerome,ID great place....hmmmm I just realized I think a lot of places are
great even if its a podunk town its kinda cool lol
hope everyone has a great day and gets out and enjoys this beautiful weather!
