The Long Road

Wow, it has been so long since I have been able to put a post together, and it is not for having nothing to say. There have been so many things to tell you all about, from massive hail storms and torrential rains, to the adventures of traveling Washington's secondary roads with only an ince to spare on either side. The past month has been eventful.

While there hasn't been any really big news trucking wise, there have been a few very pleasent developments on the personal front. Steph and I are now dating! Abit informally, but dating none the less. And while this is not exclusive, it is a step in the right direction. It doesn't mean that anything will come from it beyond it, but time will tell.

In other news, I am taking my friend Heather out on the road with me for a few weeks, and we will head out tomorrow afternoon. I am really excited to have someone along for the ride. The really cool pat is Steph has agreed to come out on the road as well after Heathers ride along is over. I am really looking forward to that more than anything.

My truck is holding up really well considering the 775,000 miles that is on the old girl, but she is starting to show her age and I know the company is going to be looking at trading her in soon. And while the prospect of a brand new truck is exciting, I know they won't offer me a double sleeper condo Volvo. So I will just have to see what happens. I have my fingers crossed, but I know what it is going to come to. Something else I have been looking at recently is a helicopter flight training school. While right now it is just not an option as it is 3 days a week for 2 years, but next year after I have my large bills payed off.....

I am still working on saving up the money I need to get a laptop that I want, so my posting will pay the price. But do not fear, as soon as I get internet access that will let me log in I will send you an update.
