WE'RE ON A ROLL

We were at the SeaRay plant first thing Friday morning to find a bright new bumper put on our trailer and it loaded with two 26 foot pleasure cruisers. We could get used to these “drop and hook” assignments. No waiting around to get the boats loaded onto the trailer, just drop the empty trailer and hook up to the loaded trailer and we were on the road again in about 20 minutes. We had discussed the day before that we would need to get a service done on the truck in Knoxville since we wouldn’t be back into Spokane for at least another month. We pulled into the Petro and got right in. Everything was going smoothly until they told us a wheel seal needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, they did not have a mechanic on duty to perform that service. Luckily, there was a TA Truck Stop across the street. They did have a mechanic on duty and after a couple of hours we had the wheel seal fixed and our truck serviced. We were back on the road again!

As we listened to the radio and heard about the horror stories from the drivers stuck in the snow storm in Pennsylvania, we were thankful for the beautiful, sunny weather we have had, and expect to have, on our trip into Texas. It was interesting that in the sun there were still icicles running down off the rocks.

We will be delivering on Monday into a subdivision of Austin called Round Rock. With only 1000 miles to our destination we plan on having a very leisurely, relaxed trip into Texas. In fact, it was so relaxing that Craig took a rest break at one of Tennessee‘s Rest Stops. What a life!
