As I was coming up US43 from Mobile yesterday I couldn't resist pulling over and taking these pictures. Awesome!
These next two are of the same storm. I got ahead of it and stopped at a little truck stop at Grove Hill AL to take them.
In other news, and to catch everything up: I delivered Trip 183 to Marshall TX last Wednesday, 7/29/09. Trip 184 picked up in Shreveport LA the same day, and delivered to Saraland (Mobile) the next day, 7/30/09.
And here's Trip 185:
I'm using the old format for trip info because Mother bought new ink cartridges for the printer - so we could print the pictures of the dog that was attacked.
Anyway, I asked to come by the house since it was on the way and I had the time. However, I told 007 the other day that I didn't want any scheduled time off until 8/23 and 8/24, because I've got to make up for all the down time I've had lately. Breakdowns and other off times really hurt when you get paid by the mile.
From here I have 1080 miles to go - about 19 hours at 59mph. Add in a mandatory 10 hour break, and that makes 29 hours. I'm planning on leaving sometime in the morning.
