BROKE DOWN IN ATLANTA

They sprung a leak in the fuel filter and have to have it fixed so think they will be there overnight. Says Marcel is over bothering the guys trying to get it fixed faster but probably just making it slower. Anyway they dropped their load at a WalMart Terminal, high end LCD TV if I understood correctly. He got his laundry done last night so he thinks he is going to jump on a shuttle that he just saw and head out exploring, well going to Walmart and getting new tenny runners. He says Marcel drove a little today and did about 20 things illegal including backing the truck up a block to get into a parking lot, turning it around, stopping in the middle of the street with blinkers on and told Scott to drive. He was afraid everyone in the neighborhood had called the cops but was not stopped so breathed a sigh of relief.


He thinks it is really nice down there and said he wishes I was with him, AWE ISNT THAT SWEET? I suggested I just quit my job but he seems to think that if I do that I would have to become a team driver with him. Yeah watch out world here come GINNY in not a 1 ton but a semi. Is he crazy or what? I asked him if he would ride with me anyway and he said maybe. IDIOT of course he would have to but he would be a total wreck all the time. Guess he could let me do the freeway driving and him the other roads and street driving. I could probably handle that too. Just put it in cruise control. I think they have cruise control to keep you going slow enough though he said there is a govener that slows you to 65 which is legal so far in every state but Oregon.


Told him to get all of the information about the company he could and how it works at the terminal while truck is getting fixed. Probably he will call some or all of you tonight being down. He might get to stay in a motel though and then he would drench himself in TV land. Have I mentioned that not only is he not watching TV but has almost given up caffiene. Is eating salads and walking a lot at least according to him. WOW not caffiene and no TV he must be a different person completely. Though he was always able to watch people in the malls and such and is prbably doing the same in the truck stops. I really need to find a way for him to record those thoughts. Can not see him putting them to words on paper or computer. Maybe get him a voice recorder and have him send the files to me digitally so I can transcribe. I do that you know.


Which by the way I need to get back to. Just thought I would let you know about breaking down and such. Would let you know more but not sure of the legalities involved as he thinks Marcel handled it wrong or at least I think he did and assume Scott does.
So this picture was taken yesterday and I cropped it and made a frame for it last night. Just so everybody could see how creative I am, no I mean so that you could see Simon was out walking and therefore I must have been close enough to take a picture. Would put all the other pictures on as only took 26 but figured you would stop looking if I got silly like that. Can not wait for Scott to start sharing pictures so we can see and I can tell stories. Bye for now.
