what a week...

all kinds of crap hit the fan at T's job this week. I think we've sailed through most of it clear enough. But we've got to get lots of miles to make up for taking most of this week off unvoluntarily. We started out great by going up to Jackson WY. Beautiful up there. love the teton mtns. so jagged and rugged looking. heard the foxes singing at night. no wolves or bear sighted. after The delivery Tuesday morning his dispatcher confirmed a rumor we heard Monday. His boss is apparently in dire straights business wise. he just voluntarily repossessed some of the trucks... and T's was one of them! They made some other rule changes about having to have 10k miles a month.. or you can quit or "slip seat" that's sharing a truck with other drivers. basically part time. well a lot of people quit. That opened up some trucks and miles for those that want lots of miles. So T and I are on our way to Maryland. That should help his quota! The new truck is a differnt brand. getting used to it. it's a bit smaller in the sleeper area. But has more cabinets back there. win some lose some. Currently in Missouri - it's very humid and looks like rain. it just won't rain. I hate that.
