This is one of the things I hate about trucking. Due to no fault of my own, ok well maybe some, the loads I chose took me to a dead end for 2-3 days. I took what at the time seemed to be the most profitable and would land me in a good spot to roll the weekend. It did not work out that way, so I will sit for 2-3 days. Interesting part about trucking is, if the wheels ain't turnin, you ain't makin no money. If you work at a normal job and there is nothing to do but busy work, at least you still get paid. I don't get paid for sittin, and it costs me money to sit. Just to shower is $10 per day.
The good. I reconnected with an old friend today, someone who can cheer you up just by saying hello. That is always a good thing. I also got to stop and eat at a favorite place today. That is a big positive about my lifestyle is the ability to find and enjoy new places. Today's stop was in Rayne, LA, at a place called the Frog City Travel Plaza. On the menu is some really good cajun food and I make it a point to have gumbo there whenever I can. By now you are wondering, "Frog City"? There is indeed history and a story behind the name.

The other good. I got a text from my daughter in El Paso, TX today. She sent me another cute pic of my grandbaby. So I will share.
