we are getting ready to start a dedicated route. i know youve heard that one before, but this one sounds like a true dedication. from seattle to los angles to seattle. two round trips a week. we are hoping the times work out so that we will be able to be home 2 days a week. that should really reduce our out of pocket expenses. laundry, hotel, resturants, etc. part of the down side is the, oregon road tax. the kingdom of oregon charges truck drivers 16 or 19 cents for every mile we drive in oregon. also the lower miles about 4200 a week we want to average 5000. and on the rare weeks we get 6000, that is just icing on the cake. so all we can do is try it and see how it works out. if it doesnt work out i guess we can just go back to what we're doing now. fighting and scratching for 5000 miles a week.
im going to gather all my pictures of the rest stops and post them later. some of the rest stops are amazing. there might be a couple of post with just pictures. expecially that last one we were at in missiouri. then you get into arizona, california, oregon and washington. just a little step up from honey bucket. thers something oregon can do with the money from truckers, give us a nice place to pee. its no wonder there are so many bottles and other containers tossed on the side of the road with urine in them. no people its not apple juice, bunch of pigs.
and in case you havent read it on my facebook page, IT IS HOT!! it certainly takes a special kind of person to live in some of these places. (special, special) i dont know why anyone would choose to voluntarily live where the temp gets above 75' and then places where it regularly is above 100', 110'. i look around expecting to see people spontaneously combust
oh and just a side not some of you may have felt a disturbance in the force. if you have not heard the shocking news, the other day will and i were both given the senior dinner discount.!!!
i know, thats what i said, WTH!!!. i pay good money for this hair color. i was raised a good irish, catholic girl. i never did drugs, i never (really) killed anyone, i have karma points as a back up and still this happens. i could stand to lose some grandma weight. i love and embrace my grandma~ness but i am still 6 months away from having to open any mail from aarp. i think little Suzie Q waitress was tired it was obviously pass her curfew. screwed herself out of a tip. will thought it was funny and gave her a tip anyway.
love and miss you all
