In Elkton, MD...

Greetings from the Petro Truck Stop here in Elkton, Maryland. Michael and I have been here since Friday night waiting for a load which we got Saturday but we can't pick it up until Monday morning. We will be heading to Wisconsin which we have to be there by Wednesday.

So, what's been up with me? Well, since I left on the 18th of March with Michael, I have been to Illinois, Kentucky, Alabama, Delaware (twice), and Maryland for either to pick up loads or drop them off. We have driven through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, CT, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and New York. Sleeping in a semi truck is actually pretty kewl. Not to mention it's warm and I don't have to wear about every known clothing I have to keep warm. It's been peaceful riding along in the truck. Listening to an awesome radio show called "Afternoon Advice" that is on the playboy channel on Sirus XM radio that's on from 2:00 pm EST to 6:00 pm EST. Then to the "DNR" show that's on from 6:00 pm EST to 9:00 pm EST that's on another channel that I can't think of right now.

Gotta thank Michael for buying this Acer One computer. A few days ago we found out that I could use my Blackberry as a modem to get on the internet but at the time he only had a MacBook laptop which didn't work with my blackberry. So, we ended up finding thing Acer One on sale for $100 less than what it normally costs. So, now we are able to get on the internet but at a very very slow speed. My blackberry connects at a 115 kbs. Yes, you see that right. That is back in the prehistoric days! But Michael and I are working on trying to get faster speed. But for the time being, this will allow me to update my blog on a more regular basis. I told my friend Brett that I will try to blog every Friday to give him an update. So, maybe I can keep up with that now?

Anyway, gotta go and get ready for bed. Have to be up at 4:30 am CST to be on the road to pick up a load early in the morning. You know how to contact me if you need to get a hold of me. Outta here!
