Today was a hard travel day. I had to make it down here near Houston so I can deliver tomorrow morning. I made one stop on the way from MO, just long enough to take a leak and fill my thermos. I know these little truckstops along US 59 in TX and if you don't get into a parking spot early, you don't get into one at all.
I wheeled in here about 30 minutes ago. There were 4 empty parking spots and I took 1. In the time it took me to walk inside, do what I had to do to download all the coffee, and walk back out here the other 3 were taken.
It was a notably uninteresting trip with a single exception. I passed a rather large grass fire along I-40 in AR. Luckily the wind was carrying the smoke away from the highway otherwise it could have caused an accident.
I'm still about 2 hours from my delivery point in Houston, counting morning traffic problems, so I'll be getting an early start in the morning and try to be there as close to 8:00 as I can make it. I'll be able to get some rest tomorrow after delivering in Houston as my second stop is just over in San Antonio and it delivers 8:00 am on Tuesday. I'll have plenty of time to kill.
