Road Crew: Disembark! :)

We are now done for the day. We logged 10hrs, 1 minute today and covered 531 miles. Good job! The sun came out after a few hours this morning and helped alot....but still have that nagging headache. I will go get some food, and see if that helps.

I go by the 70 hours in 8 day rule. 11 hours max DRIVING per day, but that combined with ONDUTY (picking up/loading/dropping/etc) is what makes the 70. Since this is our first trip after a break at home, I have no worries about my weekly hours running out. Anytime we make 500+ miles in a day, I do not feel guilty about stopping. LOL

I saw all the shirts ordered today. WOW, thanks 98 million times! :) But I am sure you could have found cheaper dish rags ..... LOL.

Ok, going to get some food and see if that might help this headache go away. We will be back on after a little bit.

Just Vicky said...

Wow did ya'll see that wave?
THANKS BRS!!!

Peggy said...

Darn it!!!!!! I missed again.

Taco said...

I been sitting here watching. How did I miss it?

Peggy said...

I don't know. I have been watching for the last 3 hours and I missed it too. How did we do that???

Just Vicky said...

Ya'll sure did miss a good one!!! GUESS HE'S PLEASED WITH THE ORDERS!

Taco said...

All I saw was a sorry looking fellow, all hunched over, looking very tired and done in. Hope dinner will help him.

Just Vicky said...

Well the wave was good! He did look tuckered out but food will help!

Peggy said...

Is Vicky seeing things???? lol

Taco said...

LOL Peggy....maybe....

Peggy said...

Hope dinner and a nice large cup of coffee will do the trick and get rid of that headache. I have them also and know how misreable they can be.

Just Vicky said...

Excuse me Peggy???? Do I have to meet you in the parking lot and have a discussion? LOL, just kidding Peggy and TACO!!! I saw THE BIG RIG STEVE WAVE REALLY BIG!!!!

Taco said...

Maybe if I get my glass of wine, I'll start seeing things. :)

Taco said...

Cat fight infront of BigRigTravels.
:)

Just Vicky said...

Seems that way Taco!! LOL At least the fur flying won't be TK's! LOL

Peggy said...

Yep!!! We can do that. I would love to meet all of you in person. I can;t beleive I missed it. Waiting all aftenoon for him to stop and Dang I MISSED IT AGAIN!!

Peggy said...

A glass of wine sounds good. Can;t tonight we are on call until 6 in the morning for EMS. Oh well maybe tomorrow night.

Taco said...

She seems to need to protect what little fur she has left. Steve is
a fur thief! Is he selling it on the side for new computer? Hmmm

Peggy said...

lol Hummm maybe we should all buy a small share and we can give it back to her as we all finally get to meet Tk.

Taco said...

Peggy, it will be waiting for you tomorrow night. If Steve ever gets here I got dinner all planned for him.

Just Vicky said...

Oh Taco, don't ya know what he's doing with that fur?? Have you checked out BRS's mug???

Taco said...

Just Vicky LOL Yes, can't all be really his!

Just Vicky said...

Sure hope this truck stop has quality food tonight for our hungry driver!

Taco said...

He loves his salads! Sure he will get his fill.

Peggy said...

Hopefully he can get a good nights sleep with out the "ladies of the night" bothering him.

ualady-- Did you find a sign for him yet?

Just Vicky said...

Hey, if those gals are lot lizards, are regular street gals known as "road toads?"

Peggy said...

Taco are you fixing him a BIG steak?

Peggy said...

lol never heard them call that.

ualady said...

Everyone watch out - Vicky is on a roll!

FinnFam said...

Wow look like I missed alot lately. Was in quarentine from the computer due to my kid giving me pink eye (highly don't recommend ever getting that). I missed you all and your fun banter. Didn't know there were so many of us from OH.

ualady said...

Hey finn!

ualady said...

Peggy - which one? lot lizards or road toads?

Peggy said...

Finn....you in Flag City area?

Just Vicky said...

Let the party begin! Noticed ya'd been missing FinnFam! Welcome back!

Peggy said...

Road toads

Taco said...

ewwwww, pink eye! Very contagious.
Stay away FinnFam. Hope it is better soon.

I was thinking fresh halibut Peggy.
Would travel better to parking lot.

FinnFam said...

Glad to be back. I was going a bit batty not being able to touch anything. Did get lots of reading done I guess.

Peggy said...

OH that sounds good too.

FinnFam said...

I promise I am not contagious any more.

Peggy said...

Welcome back FinnFam

Peggy said...

oh no!!! Lost my cam stream.

Just Vicky said...

I lost mine too Peggy!

Taco said...

TK must be playing again. :)

Peggy said...

Hummmmmmm is BRS mad at us for fighting in the parking lot??? lol

FinnFam said...

I am feeling the love :)

FinnFam said...

And now I have to go. Dog sitting for the weekend(I do that a lot) and the two just won't chill out. I'll see everyone tomorrow. Sleep tight everyone.

Taco said...

lol Peggy
Maybe TK making him pay for missing fur.

Just Vicky said...

Group HUGS to everyone!! Peggy, guess we should make up before he gets back?? lol

TK probably pulled the plug! She wants Steak!

Taco said...

Night FinnFam, tc

Peggy said...

oh that could be

Just Vicky said...

Goodnight FinnFam!

Peggy said...

Night FinnFam

Taco said...

Egad, my cat walking rim of garbage can agin. Only matter of time till she falls in again!

Peggy said...

That might be a good idea. Don't want BRS to put us in time out as they say now.

Just Vicky said...

So Peggy, which part do we apologize for, the fight or the remark about what he does with TK's fur?

ualady said...

OK...let's see...found a no lot lizards sign...but really don't like it...will see if barjan has a different kind. I think a smaller conservative look would be better on the volvo.
Next question...no I've never heard of road toads. That's a new one on me.
Who's cat fighting on the tarmac?

ualady said...

How can you apologize for what BRS does with TK's fur? It's obvious where he puts it - furface!!

Just Vicky said...

Won't name names ualady!

ualady said...

Vicky - have you and Peggy been cat fighting on the tarmac again?

Peggy said...

hummm well I guess the fight since he can't blame us on what he does with the fur.

Taco said...

I know nothing!

Peggy said...

Who!!!! not us we would never do that. lol

ualady said...

oh no .. Taco ... you are in on it too???

Just Vicky said...

<~~~~~~~~JV GRINNIN!!!

Just Vicky said...

GUESS WHO STARTED IT???

Peggy said...

I think the computer must have really crash this time.

Peggy said...

NOT ME

Taco said...

lol I know nothing. I know nothing. I know nothing. You buying what I'm selling ualady?

ualady said...

I've got a video ... staring straight at another blooming light!

ualady said...

No Taco ... not a word of it.

Who's watching out for the big guy?

ualady said...

What is it with parking staring straight at lights?

Just Vicky said...

Great video again!!!!!!!! Happy camper!!!!

ualady said...

have a feeling that blondie started it

Peggy said...

I finally got the cam back so Vicky no more fighting. We have to be good now. lol

Just Vicky said...

We probably missed the big guy!!

ualady said...

We don't have to be good til the big guy gets back!

Just Vicky said...

Ut oh, I'm being accused again I see! Guess who I'm meeting next in the parking lot? LOL

Peggy said...

Yep AGAIN

Taco said...

I saw A big guy walk by. Or do you mean THE big guy? :)

ualady said...

Our big guy ... not some poor stranger that TK is growling at

Peggy said...

Vicky now now. We said no more fighting. You have to be a good girl now. lol

Taco said...

Lol

ualady said...

Vicky - it would be no contest with you in a cat fight on the tarmac! I would be laughing so hard I would be helpless.

BigRigSteve said...

ok,ya'll are crazy folks. LOL

I tried to use the 'puter, and it just would not respond, so I reBOOTed it. LOL

It is about to get a serious boot right out the window. LOL

Really not feeling all that great.....so will have to call it a night, and hide my head under the pillow. I promise I won't get any TK fur tonight. :)

I will answer emails tomorrow. I'll email ya tomorrow sometime JV! :)

Night ya'll, thanks for hanging out with us today! :):):)

Just Vicky said...

I didn't promise Steve I'd be gud till he got back!!! lol

Taco said...

How about ualady and BRS arm wrestle.

Just Vicky said...

Thanks Steve! Good night big boy!

ualady said...

uh oh ... BRS sneaked in!

ualady said...

hey Taco - tonight i might just win!

Taco said...

Night Steve and TK> Rest well.

Just Vicky said...

That he did ualady! Figured that since we had video again!

ualady said...

Night TK. Now you be a good kitty and take care of BRS!

ualady said...

ahh shoot ... wish BRS had answered the question about the road toads.

BigRigSteve said...

lol, i was about to sign off. i never heard of road toads there Ualady

Peggy said...

Night BRS. Hopefully a good night rest will help. Give Tk hugs

ualady said...

well vicky asked what one was...and i have no idea

ualady said...

vicky ... if you made that up...could you think of something better sounding than road toads?

Just Vicky said...

Ualady, I'll have to explain it to you I guess!

Just Vicky said...

I was merely giving us a point to ponder per se!

Taco said...

Wondering how Just Vicky knows so much about road toads. Hmmmmm

Just Vicky said...

Let's NOT jump to conclusions Taco! Thought you were on my side??

ualady said...

i thought road toads were suppose to be good as opposed to lot lizards.

Taco said...

LOL I know nothing! I just got here!

ualady said...

Taco - you've been here the whole time! Don't try and shimmy out of this!

Taco said...

Shimmy, shimmy!

Just Vicky said...

Amnesia now Taco??

Peggy said...

lol Vicky I guess tonight is just not your night.

ualady said...

now why would BRS call us crazy folks?

Taco said...

lol, I blame the wine!

ualady said...

I take exception to that coming from a guy that steals cat fur!

Just Vicky said...

Who's crazy?? Thought that was a requirement for this place!

Peggy said...

But you know we have to keep up our image as trouble makers

Taco said...

ualady, right! We are the normal people! The rest are crazy as loons!

Just Vicky said...

Yes indeed Peggy! Thanks for that reminder!

ualady said...

You're right as rain Vicky!!

Peggy said...

oh your welcome. We have to do what needs to be done thats for sure.

Taco said...

Night all. Have fun!

ualady said...

I do feel a tad guilty stirring up trouble with BRS feeling under the weather.

Ok...I'm over that!

Just Vicky said...

Good night Taco! Thanks for the fun!

Peggy said...

Night Taco.

ualady said...

Night Taco! Be sure to watch tomorrow...BRS is coming through my state. I promise no history lessons!

Just Vicky said...

Ualady, that was long lived wasn't it? LOL Over in 2 seconds?

Peggy said...

Oh but I am sure BRS enjoyed our fun tonight.

ualady said...

Ah Vicky - at my age - feeling guilty over two seconds takes away from fun time!

ualady said...

He will enjoy it more when he feels better. I'm sure TK was thoroughly enjoying it!

Just Vicky said...

I got the cutest email today! About a 70 year old man that found a talking frog! Maybe that's why I thought about toads???

Just Vicky said...

Wanna hear the jest of the email?

ualady said...

well we're waiting!

ualady said...

and we're waiting....

Peggy said...

and still waiting

Just Vicky said...

lol, well he was out walking through the woods and he hears someone say "pick me up!" He looks all around doesn't see anyone and he hears it again "hey, PICK ME UP!" Finally he sees this frog and he says "you talking to me?" Frog says, "sure am, pick me up and kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful bride for you and everyone will be jealous!" The old man paused, picked the frog up and put him in his pocket! The frog says "Hey, what ya doin?" The old man says "at my age I'd rather have a talking frog!"

ualady said...

oh that's good - laughing!!!!

Just Vicky said...

One of those nice clean ones if you know what I mean!

ualady said...

yea - don't get too many of those

Just Vicky said...

Are we the only 2 awake ualady?

ualady said...

peggy is here somewhere

Just Vicky said...

Nah, I knocked her out in the parking lot! lol

ualady said...

oh mercy.

i finished making out the test for monday night. i probably should do a word search on it to make sure i didn't put lot lizard, road toad, furface, etc. on it. That would be hard to explain.

Just Vicky said...

lol ualady! You'd sure have a smirk on your face trying to explain anyways!

Peggy said...

I is hear and that was good, Thanks for sharing.

Just Vicky said...

Sure had fun with ya tonight Peggy! No offense, I wuv ya!

ualady said...

Haven't seen Shady on? Is he on vacation or something?

Peggy said...

oh no offense was taken. I enjoyed the fun tonight. I wuv you too.

Just Vicky said...

Thanks Peg! I'm not near the troublemaker that I've been accused of!

Peggy said...

hmmmmmmmmmmmm okay if you say so. lol

Just Vicky said...

<~~~~~~~~~lookin for that halo!!!

ualady said...

We just covered that in class last week! I believe it's called the "horn" effect!

Peggy said...

Just teasing

ualady said...

LOL and we covered the "halo" effect.

Peggy said...

lol

ualady said...

I know why BRS covered his head! He didn't want TK licking his lips!!

Peggy said...

I have been accused of hiding my halo every once in a while.

Just Vicky said...

What a novel concept ualady!

Peggy said...

Maybe he had a steak or shrimp. Now we know his secret.

Just Vicky said...

He has to hide his head to keep the light out of his eyes! DUH (lol)

Just Vicky said...

Only a blonde would think of that right?

ualady said...

surely he has a darkening divider on his sleeper

ualady said...

ever been up in one of big volvo's vicky and peggy?

Peggy said...

Vicky- How is your daughter doing

ualady said...

oh mercy .. where are my manners? Peggy is right ... how is your daughter Vicky?

Peggy said...

I have been in one and the one I was in had a curtian to pull.

Just Vicky said...

No I haven't been in one but I hope to! Peggy, daughter got her stitches taken out yesterday she starts therapy this week. She's pretty much confined to her bed upstairs where the bathroom is. When I left she was able to get herself out of bed to go do that and my son installed a hand held shower head so she was able to get cleaned up by herself, which made her feel much better after 4 days! I was there for a week!

ualady said...

I've been up in the model a little bit bigger than BRS's...I was amazed about how much room there was. One truck actually had a shower in it. Now that's the way to go!

ualady said...

Getting up in the truck was not a problem ... but getting down??? Law...the drivers were hooting and hollaring til someone took pity and helped me down. I was laughing so hard I had tears running down my face.

Just Vicky said...

Ladies I need to say goodnight! It sure has been fun, AGAIN! We manage to amuse ourselves don't we? Angels On Your Pillows! (AYOP) which was blog short talk I taught ya last night! rememba?

ualady said...

Sounds like she is on the mend. Is there someone there to help her?

Peggy said...

Glad to hear she is on the mend. That has to be a very painfull surgery. I am sure therapy will help alot and make healing go a lot faster. Our prayers are with her.

ualady said...

And AYOP my friend. Guess I had better go finish this test. See y'all tomorrow! BRS and TK are Bama bound!!

ualady said...

Night Peggy ... see ya in BAMA tomorrow!

Peggy said...

Night ualady and vicky. Had a very fun evening tonight. See all of you tomorrow I am sure. AOYP to all.

Just Vicky said...

Her father isn't too far away and her brother is in the area. I think her girlfriends are helping her out plus she has a 13 year old daughter and a 6 year old daughter. Lots of pressure on the 13 yr. old to be an adult! Grandma hates that part!

Just Vicky said...

OK, I'm following through on my promise to say goodnight! Hugs to everyone! See you tomorrow after church!

Peggy said...

Oh I am sure you do, Hopefully it will only be a short time.

connie said...
