Well, I have done two relays; driven through "Morning Drive," in Albuquerque; driven through "Afternoon Drive," in Denver; almost went into a skid on I-76 in Colorado; and now I am sitting here in Fort Morgan while I am being loaded for a run to Utah, and it is snowing outside. It took me two hours to get from Denver to Fort Morgan. Yes, the roads were that slick.

This "walk in closet" as you call it is freezing ass cold, right now. I can't get my bunk heater to work. I wouldn't mind it so much, but one degree above zero is a little cold, even for me.

According to my dash thermometer, it is eight degrees outside. In about 30 minutes, I do a pre-trip, then after 15 minutes, I roll on to Utah.

We were talking about the winter aspect of driving in school the other day. That's a scary thing to learn out on the open road, whether it be with your trainer or solo. Unless your lucky enough to attend a school in snow ha ha. Anyway, good luck out there and be safe.

Well they OVERPAID ME. By that I mean THEY REALLY DID OVERPAY ME. I am talking 400 miles overpaid. For a minute I thought the person who relayed the load to me was NOT going to get paid for his part, so I said something.

Well my next pick up isn't until Noon tomorrow, so I call and see if I can pick up early. I can, except there is one problem. They close at 4 p.m. and I called 20 minutes prior to closing. So I am stuck here until tomorrow. Oh well, I can pick up around five or six hours early.
