WHOO HOO!

Guess we won't be hearing that on anymore Washington Mutual commercials. Confidence level is not high for the bailout, but one thing I do know.........people gotta eat! We have been going non stop lately, and especially the last month, using up every available driving hour that we can legally squeeze out daily. Although I have been off the truck once for a few days at my Mother's house, Craig has been driving without a break now for almost 9 weeks. I think it's time for him to do some relaxing, and that is just what we are going to be doing when we start a week of vacation on Wednesday.

But, we still have a couple of days to work, and work we will. Right now, in the predawn darkness, and the rain in the greater Seattle area, we are headed to drop off some nice fresh produce in Puyallup, WA. Would you believe we were able to pick up our loaded trailer in Salinas on Saturday a full 6 hours ahead of time? We couldn't either! By, 12:30pm, we had hooked up to our trailer, fueled, and were happily headed north. We made it just shy of the California/Oregon border, and pulled into a rest area to get some sleep.

Sunday was a beautiful day as we made our way through Oregon. The skies were overcast, but seldom did it sprinkle or rain until we crossed into Washington. We stayed at our usual truck stop in Tumwater, WA, getting there just a bit later than we would have liked to. This truck stop seems to be the staging area for the trucks making their way into the ports in Tacoma and Seattle, and there were only a handful of parking spaces left. By the time we had used the facilities, not a spot was open and it was only 4pm.

We have the two drops this morning, no more than a mile apart from each other. It would be nice to get a load out of Fred Meyer again, but we'll see what we get. All they have to do is get us into Spokane tomorrow for a delivery and then we can start our vacation. WHOO HOO!
