Look way up and you will see her.

Hi there,
This a picture of a blue water fountain at a McDonalds in Patterson, CA where we had to stop to call dispatch. Our load was dispatched with unloading appointments that could not be met, legally.
Wow, you'd wonder how planning thinks, sometimes. Final word was, "just do what you can"

This is the only place you can park a big rig and there is only room for maybe eight trucks, it also has gas so it is really busy everybody parks where they can, but you get a $50.00 ticket if you park in certain areas. There is a man who can't speak who directs traffic, he has a card that tells you how much the ticket will be to warn you and he let's you know when a space will be available. Pretty cool,we couldn't wait so we kept on driving to Vernon,CA. Nobody starts work at this place till midnight, so it was along wait from 6p.m. and it was first come first serve and no loading docks like normal you had to back in on a slant. One truck at a time.

Would this be beautiful on a wall? Yeah! We are heading back to beautiful California with some meat, and picking up some bananas from the west coast by the ocean, at Port Hueneme, Ca.
I will try and get some good pictures. We had to deliver in Vernon, Ca. last night at midnight. What
a dump; they have lumpers (people who unload your trailer for money, because they don't have receivers like most places. They come right up to your truck like hookers and ask you if need them. That's how they make their money and it is legal.

Here is a picture I took as the Sun was setting in the Fraser Valley,B.C. This other one is shortly after and I think it is awesome.

Here is Donny, John and Al, John is trying to show or explain how smart he is. Al is very focused but Donny couldn't care less. Oh, by the way they are both single and both work.

Donny's motto is "You have my full attention until something else comes along".

Back At It Again, eh

Well, we're back on the road again after a pretty stressful 4 days off. I had 3 teeth pulled, and got new plate. It went pretty well and I didn't even cry. Magnificent fit on the new hardware.

We're still stuck in Canada, though. I'm getting ready to look for another job. Seems I'm being penalized for something. I just don't know what. We've got to get back to the States. We're getting low on groceries.

Sandy hasn't been feeling well, today. Seems to have eaten something that didn't agree with her. Last night we had a great greasy supper in a little truckstop at Craigellachie, BC. Wow, fries & gravy - 1st time in years. That'll teach us to eat in restaurants. Food's much better here in the truck, health wise anyway.

Went from Edmonton to Lethbridge, Lethbridge to Delta, and now on our way to Calgary for tomorrow (Fri) PM, so I'd better get some sleep.


Sandy took some great pictures at the coast. Here are just a few. There was a lot going on, on the Frazer River.
