Hello all. Finally repaired my not-so-trusty laptop and am now able to get back online. I am writing this from the sleeper of my truck while parked (much to the relief of my fellow motorists) in a Flying J truckstop in Sioux Falls, SD.
It's really great to get a nice high-speed WiFi connection without having to carry the gear out of the truck.
I am currently on my way to Tacomah, WA from Wisconsin hauling a 40,000 lbs snow blower. I have to deliver it to the sea port so it can take a boat ride to Japan. (Wish I could go with it) I really hope those folks enjoy the snow blower as I hurt my back chaining it down to the trailer. It took an hour before I could stand upright again and I haven't been able to walk very well for two days now.
Oh well, not really worth crying about. The weather was nice out this way today, if a bit chilly for my taste. Tomorrow I'll try to get in an other 600-700 miles if my stupid back will allow it.
That's all I have to write for now. Have a lot of articles and posts to read and catch up on since I've been stranded in off-line world for so long.
Toot Toot and a wave of the hand (all fingers)
