Chooo-Choooo

Pardon me Roy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes? A little modification to "Chattanooga Choo Choo"! This is a picture of the steepest passenger railway in the world (72.7% grade) it's located on Lookout Mountain, in Chattanooga. Chattanooga is where I'm spending this weekend... Why Chattanooga? Cause I know where the wal-mart is ! Okay, Okay, I used to live here a while ago, and I always thought it was nice down here, the mountains, lakes, but I never liked the humidity, it gets pretty sticky here in the summer. Anyways, I will leave here in the morning and head to Graham, Kentucky... From there I'll head out west to Tooele, Utah. Hoping the weather won't be an issue, but it's looking like it might be.

Back -N- Forth....

Well here is how the past week went, started it in Indiana, went to Tracy, Ca., then over to Hawthorne, Nv., then a stop in Ft. Smith, Ar., from there up to Picatinny, N.J., then over to Carteret, N.J., and now on the way to the windy city (Chicago). From there I'll go to southern Iowa to load on Tuseday and head to Yuma, Az.. Back -N- Forth has been the latest travel. Turned in over 6000 miles this past week, so that was a good week, and a busy one, which left me with little time for me to get into trouble.

2007.....

<--- THIS is NO FUN ! White knukle driving stinks! Ran into this stuff out in Nebraska and Wyoming, saw lots of cars and trucks in the ditch, saw lots of dumb people driving way to fast for conditions, thought I was seeing my knuckles break through my skin. (sigh of relief). Sitting out in Tooele, Utah right now, will leave here in the morning and head to Tracy, California. Hopefully Donner won't be an issue (I know, that's asking for alot!) Seems everyone back home is sick with something or another, and I'm just all busted up that I can't be there to catch what's going around.

Well with the end of the year comes some facts and figures - The truck now has 130,000 more miles on it than it had last January, I had zero accidets (knocking on wood), zero driving violations (hours of service, tickets, etc), I passed all inspections that I had, I'm a year older, and my ass still has hail damage! It was a pretty good year! (Minus the hail damage).

Sure hope whoever reads this has a great new year, and who knows, maybe I'll come to your neighborhood this coming year! TOOTS!
