In Columbus OH Headed to Iriving Texas

We have had a rather busy three weeks. Between truck repairs and lots of fright, there hasn't been a lot of time for blogging. I know, that is really no excuse but those are the only reason I have. I didn't lose an arm, or my vision, I haven't had a lobotomy, though Tina says I do sometimes act like I have. Just very busy and trying to work hard enough to take most of August off so that we can attend Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally in D.C.. We are very excited about the event.

We have had a couple break downs in the last three weeks. We had to have injector "O" rings replaced to repair a coolant leak, which it didn't. We were home yesterday and had a sleeper air bag failure, so I had to replace that air bag. Now, we have either a turbocharger or a turbocharger actuator failing. Oh well, without failures we wouldn't appreciate all the "non-failures". We drive so many miles without failures and just seem to forget those when something does break or fail. We must learn to count our blessing more often.

We are sitting in Columbus Oh today. We arrived here last night and got a good nights rest. On the way here, it seemed to be even more apparent than ever how the awakening of America is taking place. We didn't even got 11 miles from the house and some amazing patriots approached the truck while I was fueling. From there on up to here, it was just 1 car load after another waiving in agreement with the message on the truck.
America is Awakening, and D.C. needs to do the same. We are seeing more and more billboards about the coming house cleaning in D.C., the improprieties of Congress, and the incompetence of our chosen leaders. I am trying to get pictures of those billboards but it proves rather difficult at times while I am driving, well, at least without running other folks off the road.

We are sitting here now, listening to our Cowboy Church and Bill Mack's Sunday Social on XM radio. We are waiting on our load going to Irving Texas. We were actually dispatched to Minneapolis last night for today but then we were asked to take this Iriving Tx load that was added with extra freight. Either way, they seem to be running ab out 4 hours behind right now so the load should be ready about noon.

I have no idea what awaits in Irving but we shall see soon enough. My guess is that we will have a dispatch before we even arrive there. That seems to be the way it has been working in recent days. Either way, I will try to keep this site updated more regularly.

We will be traveling down I-71 to I-65 to Nashville TN then onto I-40 to Little Rock TX and I-30 into the Dallas area. Be sure and wave if you see us along the way and smile for a picture as I will be trying to take one if you are waving. If you are in the Dallas.Ft Worth area and would like to see the truck, send me a message from this site and we'll see what we can do to set up a meeting.



In the mean time...Here is a novel item for the coming election year.
When The Politicians Are On TV, Blowing Hot Air And You Want To Scream, Just Grab Your Doll And Give It A Fling, Let Them Know...Hey, You Work For Me.

A useful, bipartisan doll to give you something to throw while watching the news and listening to the politicians lie with every motion of their lips. Throw your doll and scream while never causing any damage to your television. These dolls now come with a retrieval string for retrieval without moving from your perch on the couch.

All Dolls are bipartisan, Republican on 1 side, Democrat on the other.

Computer Fixed and Back to Work After a Month Off

WOW! I had no idea how terribly infected my laptop was until Ron, at JR Computer Outlet in Cincinnati, OH, called and told me he needed to replace the hard drive and thought that we might as well replace our current operating system, XP pro, with Windows 7. Well, the new hard drive is great but I must say, so far I despise Windows 7. I imagine though, after I get used to using it, it will be okay. I just really liked the XP operating system. I was told that this would be a far more stable system though so we shall see.

Aside of that, we had planned 2 weeks off from the 14th to the 28th of May. We visited some family and attended a graduation for a nephew in Illinois on the 21st and headed home on the 23rd. We had some routine doctors appointments the week of the 23rd and unfortunately, those appointments led to more appointments into the 1st of June, the 2nd of June and then again on the 10th of June. It doesn't take much for 2 weeks to turn into a month. The good news...We were both, after a treatment or 2, found to be healthy and fit for the road.



The 912 Truck also went through a slight transformation during our time off. I bought and installed a set of rear fenders on the truck. Those fenders were bought from Tony at Talladega County Fiberglass, near Talledega AL.I had the fenders wrapped with the scroll colored vinyl and added the Gadsden Flag to the rear of the fenders. I also added, on the curved edges of the fenders "In God We Trust" and "Home of The FREE Because of the Brave". We also added Vinyl to the toolbox doors on the rear of the truck. On the right door I used a quote from Edmund Burke..."All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing". On the middle door we placed the logo for the Bring home the Politicians website. On the left door is now the New Hampshire official motto "Live Free or Die". New pics will be up soon.

We also attended a couple of political rallies with the truck during our time off. One of the rallies or meet ups was a Candidate Forum for our local U.S. Congressional District FL 5, Republican candidates. This is one of those races where there is a real choice to make. We have an "establishment" candidate, crowned by the outgoing Ginny Brown-Waite. That candidate, Sheriff Nugent of Hernando County, made it very clear that he would bring to the floor, business as usual,the same old good ole boy politics. He made it clear that his having been "connected" for so many years will help him to get things moving in the "right direction".

The other candidate, the only real choice for conservative voters in the 5th District of Florida, the Candidate that will go to Washington D.C. and "take the THE Party message to the Congressional floor" is Jason Sager. This guy understands what his constituents are saying. He understands because he feels the same as do we. He knows that the State has outgrown it place in the Constitution, He understands that government spending is out of control. He believes in States rights, the Second Amendment...as written. He is an IRS abolitionist. HE truly understands his voters, the founders, and the Constitution. Jason Sager is the only logical, meaningful, choice for Restoration of the Constitution in Florida's 5th U.S. Congressional District.

There were a lot of folks there in support of Mr Sager. We had some of them, most of them, sign the truck and were able to get some pictures of those folks as well. Note the "Red Shirts" in the photographs above. They are all part of Jason's Red Shirt Brigade. This event was sponsored by Citrus County's R.E.C.. I will soon post videos of both 10 minute speeches from this forum and you can decide for yourself who should represent the 5th Congressional district in Florida. Jason Sager or Sheriff Rich Nugent.

We also attended a fund raiser for Jason Sager for Congress, in Florida's 5th district, on the evening of the 11th. The fundraiser was held at Deep South family Style BBQ in Brooksvile, FL. Tina and I attended the Fundraiser and we drove the 9/12 Truck. Again, a great meet up and many supporters came out to meet and greet the candidate, Mr Jason Sager. More pictures will be posted soon of the folks signing the truck.

From there, we were off to work. We were offered a load to Las Vegas for Saturday morning leaving from Orlando. The load was to be ready by 0200 but wasn't actually ready until 0615. After hooking to the loaded trailer and performing our pre-trip inspection, we headed North on the Florida Turnpike to I-75 north and ran that to I-10 west and stopped in Midway Fl for a splash of fuel.

After leaving there we ran I-10 to Mobile Al and accessed U.S. 98 to Hattiesburg MS. then ran 49 to Jackson MS where we took I-20 west to Dallas then U.S.287 north to Amarillo TX.. Form there it was I-40 west to Kingman AZ and 93 north to 168 to 95 and back to 93.

Before we arrived in Vegas we were contacted by dispatch and asked to run a short trip to Salt Lake City UT on Monday Morning, then a Columbus OH out of Salt Lake City on Monday night/Tuesday Morning. That brings us to Columbus OH, where we now sit, after getting here early this morning and going to Louisville KY to pick a load up and come back here. We now sit, waiting on a load to Rock Tavern NY. The load is to be ready at about 1600 this afternoon.

I have no idea to where we will go from Rock Tavern but freight seems to be moving and I'm sure that we will get a dispatch to somewhere shrotly after our arrival at the terminal.

Headed Back to Columbus

Just before we got to Rock Tavern last night, at about 2230 or so, I received a text message from the driver with whom we were to switch trailers and he had just left Boston MA. He was about 3.5-4 hours away.

We decided we would take advantage of the down time and catch a short nap. The wrap on the door came, from the other driver, at about 0200. He was already unhooked from the trailer and was waiting for me to unhook from mine.

I jumped up, got dressed and hurriedly unhooked, re-hooked performed my pre-trip inspection. I caught up my logbook and we were headed for Columbus, OH. We are currently in western Pennsylvania on I-80 and it is snowing, raining, sleeting nasty combination of weather. Again, every time we come this way, the weather is nasty. Granted, it isn't sticking to the roads but man, what's the deal. It was 70 degrees here yesterday, on the way up and now it is just about 35 degrees or so.

We should be back in Columbus OH by about 1230 or so. I have no idea where they will want us to go next but we readily await their dispatch.
