Whew!

We made it. Well, almost. We came up about 58 miles short. Who ordered that nap anyway?

Only reason I stopped is because I got a message on my truck computer telling me I had 35 minutes before going into violation! Remember, I can't drive past 14 hours in a day. I was shocked! Usually, I get a one hour warning. But tonight, I did not get it until nearly 30 minutes left? And here I am still away from the city! LOL

Found a truckstop though with about 10 minutes to spare!

We are camped here for the night, will pick up the rest of the trip in the morning.

Do you get fined for violations?

Have a good nights rest and good luck with your allergies and sinus headaches. You'll have to complain about your short warning notice tonight. What if you couldn't find a place to stop within 30 minutes? TK must be about ready for her flashlight games.

If you have a computer monitoring your trip, does it at least cut down on the paperwork you need to do, since they already know where you are, how you got there and how long it took?

Saw you drive into the truck stop. Is that a toll booth you go through at the entrance, where you pay to spend the night? Didn't take you long to go through.So glad you are safely parked for the night.

I'm afraid to post Steve, because you have all these strong ladies on here, and they are all great.
I just wanted to say thanks for the ride today, God Bless!

ualady said...

pboutwell....welcome aboard!! Never be afraid to post...the more the merrier.

Just Vicky said...

Gosh, we don't mean to scare anybody pboutwell!!!

ualady said...

Just Vicky said...

AMEN Ualady!!!

Glad you found a place to stop for the nite..:) Now about TK, you gonna need to keep your co-driver as she really has a following LOL..Hey TacomaGram, I think we are almost neighbors..I live in Shelton..:) Shady from Washington

pboutwell said...

Thanks girls, my wife is at bingo tonight. So right now she can't tell me how to say something right. So, the rest of the night I'll just shut up, and read. I hope all of you have a good night!

ualady said...

yea shady...we're still wondering where to join the TK fan club

Anonymous said...

Shady, yes we are! Father-in-law was born there. He has now passed on. Isn't TK the cutest Kat you ever saw? Steve is very lucky she lets him drive.

ualady said...

oh mercy pboutwell...anything you say will be fine....we aren't very judgmental until it comes to TK ... then we are like mama bears

pboutwell, thought about your sweet wife today when cam kept buttering. :0)

Anonymous said...

Yes she is beautiful, I fell in love the minute I saw her. Now about unplugging the puter...I think she was just having a bit of fun with Steve..:) Shady

BigRigSteve said...

Oh gee whiz . TK is just a spoiled truck kat. LOL. How many cats get to be driven thousands of miles, rocked to sleep, gets the biggest windows to the world, and gets to play and boss around the driver? LOL

Anonymous said...

You feeling picked on BRS?

ualady said...

Ok hear this BRS...she is not just another cat. She is the Queen of the Road! So get with the program and spoil her a bit more!

Just Vicky said...

Now you're talking sense BRS! Glad you know you have the Queen of the Road with you!

Just Vicky said...

And I assume the reason you had to put us on hold was because TK had to play flashlight games first! That means she still is top priority!

ualady said...

there you go..a slogan for the TK shirt:

TK ... Queen of the Road (front)

Official Groupie (back)

Just Vicky said...

With all our names on the back right?

BigRigSteve said...

LOL. She has been at my feet screaching "We stopped, It's dark, lets play games!" ...LOL

Anonymous said...

I"M a groupie....yipeeee!

Just Vicky said...

TK speaks, BRS listens! I love this!!!

ualady said...

don't think all of our names would fit on back

Anonymous said...

Rocked to sleep!!?? I never heard of a cat that likes to be rocked to sleep, she really does like to have BRS attention on her, that's so precious.
Let me know when those TK shirts are ready, I would like one or two.

ualady said...

BRS what are you doing? writing that post i presume

BigRigSteve said...

rocked to sleep meaning the motion/rolling.vibration of the truck going down the road.

I KNOW you don't think I would literally rock a dang CAT to sleep!!! LOL

Anonymous said...

TK unplugged the computer for a reason. We may not know why just yet, but the answer will come to light.

Just Vicky said...

Oh my, excuse me, I detect an attitude here BRS!!!!!

ualady said...

don't be so quick on the draw BRS...I sat here last night and rocked Mick while he watched the BRIGHT lights at the truck stop.

BigRigSteve said...

new post up

Anonymous said...

ualady, don't forget a picture of TK on that t-shirt! Gotta have that . . .

ROFL about 'rocking' the cat to sleep! Too funny!



darn -- I missed Rolla when you went through.

Anonymous said...

It was hard to imagine you actually rocking TK to sleep. The truck vibration makes more sense for you. BUT maybe you should try it, Ualady's cat likes it, maybe TK would like it to. Nothing's to good for TK.
