my partner

Well folks, I am on the road again. I have a team mate, her name is April, she is 35 and she has two kids. I am excited about being teamed up because we will make more money. Today we are headed for Laredo. We are dropping a load off at the border. A trucker from Mexico will come to the border and take the load on into Mexico. That should be fun. I did get to deliver some turkeys earlier this week. So, if anyone buys a butterball think of me. Last week I made a friend from Trans Am. We both were spending the night at this industrial parkway. We could not figure out where there was a truck stop. I needed water and something to eat really bad. He knew where there was a grocery store, so we went shopping together and I got lots of water and food. He has been out on the road for 30yrs. He was talking to me about being out on the road. I don't know if anyone knew but Jack that I always wanted a portable DVD player but Chelle did not see a purpose for it. Well, my Trans am friend gave me one because he just bought a new tv with a dvd player. I know that I don't need one since I have my laptop but I don't care I have it and I love it.

  1. You always get what you want, especially over my meager objections! Remember our first DVD player that I thought served no purpose and think of all the ice cream you snuck over with Mum. You should pray that I stop objecting to things, because, if I do, you may stopped being rewarded. Love you!!

  2. What I read in this post is how "deep" and "fast" the cultural (?) connections run with other drivers - sounds like a great connection on the fly :)

  3. I expected Michelle to say this about Jack gifting that DVD player:
    "Hit the road, Jack... and don'tcha come back no more, no more, no more, no more, hit the road, Jack... and don'tcha come back no more." LOL
