A bunch of useless crap
Published on March 11, 2006 By MasonM In Blogging
I'm now on my way from Wisconsin to Ft. Bragg, NC. I have a military truck to deliver there on Monday. Since I'm not pressed for time I stayed at the yard last night and walked down to the little bar at the bottom of the hill.

I had a pretty good time. There were three people, a guy and two girls, who came in after a bit and wanted to shoot pool. One of the girls asked me to be her partner so I joined them. The other girl was quite amazing to look at. She could easily pass as Angelina Jolie's sister. To say she is attractive would be a major understatement. So we shot pool. drank a few beers and a couple of shots of JD, and joked around quite a bit. Both of the girls were quite friendly and I got several hugs and kisses from both of them during the course of the evening. I definately enjoyed myself.

I now have a 17 hour run to North Carolina which isn't bad at all as I will be passing throuogh some very nice scenery including Kentucky and West Virginia. I can take my time, enjoy the ride, and relax a bit on the way.

Oh yeah, the Australian Bushmaster rep gave me a very nice pewter keychain. The fob is very heavy pewter in the image of a Bushmaster truck. Nice of him.

Damn!  Missed me by that much!

Sounds like you are really enjoying being on the road again!  Keep the reports coming.  Running up I-64 today, I thought about you, but then, it was nah!  He is not on this road today.  Seems I was not far off!

I'd be easy to spot, Guy, Brown Freightliner with a military fuel tanker on the trailer.

Will do Ted.

The weather has been pretty crappy so far this trip. I was awakened last night by heavy rain and very loud thunder. The truckstop lost part of their roof and had a good deal of water damage. Well, at least it's warm.

LOL, that's about the funniest thing I've read/heard today!

Yep, back to the freezer. I picked up at the Naval Weapons Station in N. Charleston which the Army shares and is used to stage vehicles and equipment heading overseas or returning from overseas. I picked up one of several Army trucks that just came back and are heading to the factory in WI to be refurbished.

Mason! If you're delivering military stuff, the likelihood of you coming to my neck of the woods is even greater!!
Yay! we might actually get to meet...how cool would that be!?!

Be safe on the roads....
