Welcome to Tucson, Arizona!
We took 600.1 miles worth of rubber off these tires today! Some rain today, and tremendous lightning from the storm clouds, but I am not sure if that showed up on camera or not. Temps right now is 96 degrees and cloudy.
Everybody out, we sure enjoyed having you ride along today. We are less than 500 miles to delivery! WooHoo!

I enjoy watching lightning storms. No laser light show in the world can compare to it. Did you happen to catch it on your high def camera? Would love to see it if you did.
To answer a previous question.....I did 5 years in the Air Force serving in Minot, North Dakota.
Great ride BRS! Great cam!
So, we have a winner with the new aircard? Not many camera drop outs? Any buffering? Freezing today?
I didn't have hardly any buffering or drop outs. Love the new card. Thanks again for all you do for us. Had a great ride today. Now rest, relax and enjoy the evening.
Hugs to you
Kisses to TK
Not much to speak of BRS!
Great job driver, I mean BRS. This has been the best ride along in this part of the country since we started watching. Thank you, have a good night, (you too, TK)!
Wow, you have done a lot of things (military, corporate aircraft, now trucking) not to mention photography. What a varied life to have experienced so far.
TK, your Daddy has a lot of experience to spread around these parts!
I think the only buffering and freezing today was when you changed towers....overall a GREAT day! Thanks for being so thoughtful of us Steve, and working so heard to please us.
Corporate aircraft? Were you a pilot?
Curious, don't forget he was into rodeoing once.
Shall we say, BRS has covered a lot of miles in a LOT of ways?
How do we know BRS but always on the m-o-v-e. So, is this "trucking" career the most rewarding (combined with photography, of course)?
Each career has it own rewards I am sure.
BRS, please post in the video gallery your Tucson trip tomorrow as I did not see one listed as a summer trip.
Those pictures in the state gallery are so beautiful, so will a video capture some cacti from the roads you are traveling tomorrow? Slow down to a crawl for the good stuff! I know, whiney, whiney from afar.
I will be at work and blocked from the camstream site (Ugh).
I heard a week in Minot in the winter SEEMS like five years.
Ualady - Just for you BRS is using up his airtime card for you to have some light in the truck stop tonight!
Just getting back after daughter was fixing my problem with porn. She's coming back tomorrow to finish the job. What yuck!
Glad you still have cam on BRS. I saw most of trip and it was so much better.
Have a great rest and I'll see you all tomorrow.
Is TK to blame or is that you?
I had a bit of buffering/freezing later on when the weather was bad, but overall much better. Thank you.
Yes Curious...and I'm enjoying the lights and seeing the nightlife of the truckstop. That lightpole sure is in a strange location and is in the way.
Dottie, can I still reply to a comment from yesterday? Your second ant bed, I think you put it. ha.
That WE Americans might be the one driving on the wrong side of the road?
I have to say No, put that idea to rest. American's invented the car. We get to say how it ought to be driven properly! ha ha
TL that's the best explanation I've heard so far.
Dottie - need some more cornmeal?
Texas Lady - I am left-handed, so maybe driving on the left side of the road would be better for me after all!
Never tried driving on a two-lane road in the left lane before, but it might be an advantage for the trucking industry in some way.
Oh, I still notice people driving with their left arm hanging out over the door which is very dangerous, especially if they are left-handed!
Texas Lady - you could say that the Americans were up front in car manufacture but: There are many different types of automobiles - steam, electric, and gasoline - as well as countless styles. Exactly who invented the automobile is a matter of opinion. If we had to give credit to one inventor, it would probably be Karl Benz from Germany. Many suggest that he created the first true automobile in 1885/1886. Before that there were some steam cars in France, Britain and America.
Just sticking up for Europe!!!
Texas Lady...good one! I hadn't thought of that! Perfect answer to that question.
Thanks for the offer of cornmeal Alabama, but I intend to steer clear of antbeds today. I will try to be a churchmouse! If that's possible, that is!

Rather long reason why we Brits drive on the left.
Up to the late 1700's, everybody travelled on the left side of the road because it's the sensible option for feudal, violent societies of mostly right-handed people.
Jousting knights with their lances under their right arm naturally passed on each other's right, and if you passed a stranger on the road you walked on the left to ensure that your protective sword arm was between yourself and him.
Revolutionary France, however, overturned this practice as part of its sweeping social rethink. A change was carried out all over continental Europe by Napoleon.The reason it changed under Napoleon was because he was left handed his armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent.
From then on, any part of the world which was at some time part of the British Empire was thus left hand and any part colonised by the French was right hand.
In America, the French colonised the southern states (Louisiana for instance) and the Canadian east coast (Quebec). The Dutch colonised New York (or New Amsterdam). The Spanish and Portugese colonised the southern Americas. So The British were a minority in shaping the 'traffic'.
The drive-on-the-right policy was adopted by the USA, which was anxious to cast off all remaining links with its British colonial past.
No more history lessons for today!!!
VT HOW intresting !! By the way how do u know so much ? r u into history ?
VT, our friend, I promise I'm not trying to offend you, but you threw so much info into the mix that people forget what the conversation was about. (It's an old ploy, that you maybe using wittingly or unwittingly) If you have a law background, I accuse you of using it on purpose! ha ha.
The topic was the gasoline engine autommobile, not steam, etc. There is always debate on who invented something. How do we know Adam didn't first invent something? Likely he did! Suppose all we want to, but the pattens & manufacture, etc. are the bottom line.
Are you SURE you didn't get a lot of your info from Wikepedia?
Dottie, be a churchmouse if you want, but you can't get away from this now! ha ha. It's become harlious (if one has a good nature & asence of humor.)
Dottie, if that church has a good library, check out this info with older history books, not the updated "improved" versions they publish now-a-days.
Well I have to confess I did Google both subjects and did a bit of copying and pasting, not from wikipedia! I do think it is correct however that Karl Benz had the patent on the 1st internal combustion engine car.
No I don't have a law background - I'm just a control freak with a curious mind!
This is what I found in the library, Texas Lady: There is a right side and a left side of the road and there is a right side and a wrong side of the road. The right side is always and unwaveringly the right side of the road!
Churchmouse has spoken.
LOL Dottie - actually we prefer to drive on the right side of the road, though if we are driving in Europe in our own right hand drive car it can be a bit difficult for overtaking - the passenger, usually me, has to be lookout.
BTW it was Lee started all this - he should be taking some of the flack!!!!
Wow! The blog is buzzing with the history of cars, was it?
BRS, tap your "6-inch ruler" on the dash for us to come to attention!
