Not too bad a week this week, better'n last week anyhow! I left Sunday going to Orchard Park, then went to Cleveland and picked up a load of coiled wire ( or "welfare wire" as Big Jim calls it ) going to Summerville, S.C. That's just outside of Charleston. Todd took the loads because he had loads going to N.B.Handy in Lynchburg at Nucor Steel in Huger, which is just outside of Charleston.

After I unloaded at Handy I could have reloaded a Charlotte load, but I declined because it's race weekend in Charlotte, plus the Memorial Day weekend traffic on top of that...so I came home and cut the grass.

Went to Petersburg yesterday and got a load of beams going to Syracuse. I'm already dreading the traffic going up 81 Monday. Got home and "weed eated" for a while then planted a few more tomato plants that I pulled from the plant bed. Got a little room left for a few pepper plants, but they're not quite big enough to plant yet. Then the garden will be packed full. Saw a rabbit out there yesterday looking at it through the fence, but Otherdog (the fearsome beagle) ran him off.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who has hauled the wire. I feel for you man ...the frieght really sucks my way right now too. I only got a short run to louisiana and the back haul fell through. So I dead headed back to Chattanooga and spent the weekend at a wedding and then with my girlfiend.

Kind of a dangerous spot for that snake to be hiding out!

It's just a lizard-see his hind legs there?..probly gotta biggerize it- that's the only place he would stop so I could take his picture!
