Jackson Mississippi

They are about 1/2 way on their journey to Dallas, have to unload or deliver at 10 am tomorrow so thinks they will have to hurry a little as they are both due for 8 hours down time so can not drive and sleep like most teams as Marcel has to be awake and watching kind of Scott so has to count part of that time or something.

Anyway he says it can really, really pour down rain in the south that there was a truck and about 5 cars stopped because if it by the time he went by them he could still see at a crawl so kept going. Marcel told him that when the stopped in Jackson it would be a good place to eat. So he went in while Marcel was fueling up and saw nothing but the usual hotdog, pastry, 7-11 type stuff. Says he had no more than made his hotdogs than he turned around and the restuarant was hidden in the back corner down a hall. So next time if ever that he is in that truck stop he will know where the restaurant is and see if Marcel was correct in stating it is good.

He is back to pumped up. I think he just did not like being stuck somewhere. He will need to learn to relax when there is nothing else to do or walk or learn to hop on buses and explore towns while doing his off time, that is without spending money. We are both anxious to see whta type of wages he is actually making doing this. We should get his first paycheck this friday, hopefully or I will be down on my knees begging Mary for a loan. Oh he did say that he saw the Talledega Speedway this trip through there, was thrilled with how big it looked. Maybe he will luck out and get down time near a race track and get to see some racing this year. Wait I do not want him to get to see racing without me, oh well I would have to be willing to drive a truck and I still can not see that happening.

Back to work for me. Have a good evening will update tomorrow.
