665 miles behind me

I stopped this afternoon in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, a short ways from my delivery tomorrow. I was rolling at 0345 on the west side of Houston and made it all the way here, pausing for a fuel stop in Louisiana.

Got accosted by the local truck stop ministry preacher as I parked my truck. I was polite.

Weather was very windy and rainy yesterday, and my MPG sucked. Today there was quite a bit of light rain and not much in the way of wind, thankfully.

Some people wrote in asking why I was squawking over a nearly 1,000 mile run. I like the load just fine, it is the timing vis a vis the hours of service that is lousy.
