Happy Trails....To You....

*April 6th*
   23 more driving hours left to go. It can't come quick enough. As it gets closer to completion,  El Hadj and I are getting along worse that ever. 2 nights ago I had to sit him down and inform him of his parameters and jurisdiction when talking to me. I'm so done with him and with this training phase. I don't go around saying I deserve anything.  But I DO deserve a medal for enduring 6 weeks of this bullshit.

*April 7th*
     Biloxi, MS.  15 hours left of driving before going home. The plan was to proceed to Shelbyville, TN. From there, I'd have about 5 or 6 hours left and I'd make my way towards home. We end up getting reassigned   (they call it a re-power). Anyway...now we drive 2 hours North, exchange trailers with some other driver, and then head to Orlando, FL.  From there is where I work with whatever assignment after that to get home. I should be back in NC in 2 days. There is no reason I could accept for being out here past Monday.  We'll see.
  Anyway, Biloxi is alright I guess.  The beach is kinda sad and gross. No waves...trash everywhere. Hoodlums always approaching to hustle ya on something. My friend Clayton lived here. He told me to look for the plaque honoring him. I hate to tell him, but I saw it in some guy's grocery cart with a few old radiators and a part of an air conditioning unit. Sorry Jeff. Anyway...back to the truck to get working on my last few hours before home.

*April 8th*
   Orlando, FL. I have less than 6 hours driving time to go.  Which...will be completed today. As soon as we get to Pensacola, I'll be dropped off and hopping on a plane to Charlotte tomorrow. EARLY. This has been an experience. And there's more to come. But right now I'm burned out. I just want my wife, our home, our bed, our family and something decent to eat. And I want to be away from El Hadj and his *&$#@$ truck.
     This is the last I'll be writing for probably 2 weeks.  I won't start it back up until I'm back out here as a solo driver. If you're one of those that has been reading, I hope you dug it.  It's been good for me to keep a record of it. Until I'm back out here again in a few weeks,  adios.
