The joy of the holidays

Well, here it is Thanksgiving and I have stuffed myself with turkey, dressing, and a lot of other scrumptious food! I have been at home for a couple of days now. It has been great to be home! The sad part is that the end of home time is rapidly drawing near.
I will be hitting the road again Saturday. Bound for the unknown. I'll be on the road till I come home for Christmas. It will be a little bit easier on me now. I have a down mummy sleeping bag that should keep me warm without having to idle the truck. I also have an early Christmas present of a refrigerator. Boy that will sure help with expenses and eating some good things. I am slowly getting the truck fixed up. I still have some mechanical issues, but hopefully they are ones that I can live with.
I took Son of a Truckerman and his family out to see the truck today. His five year old son was really impressed with how big it was and the fact that his grandfather (Opa) can drive a big rig.
Wife of a Truckerman is going to see if she can make some improvements for me also.
The road will be busy this weekend with everyone returning from their visits, so be extra careful out there. I'll catch you on the flip flop.

Thanks for the blog!!! Even though I spent the day with you, I enjoyed reading about it and finding out what little one had to say about the truck. Wife of... is great with getting the most out of things...can't wait to hear what she has in mind.
Forgot about how much traffic will be out there this week-end. It is sure true!!!! You be careful out there and don't be in any kind of a hurry!!!!! You will make it to your destination eventually!!!! No big deal if late,if you are safe!!!!
Can tell I am going to have to register again...this is getting old. Just registered yesterday or the day before!!!!
