Mt. Vernon, IL - 5/5/09

And so begins my first 34-hr reset on the road. I technically have two hours available with which to drive, but there isn't anywhere within two hours that I desire to be. So, I shall sit here tonight and all day Wednesday and head to Alabama Thursday, at which time I will have all 70 hours available again.

I left Wisconsin this morning and took my time getting down here; after seeing a state trooper pull over the truck in front if me, I was in no hurry. I stopped for lunch and to repair a light on my latest trailer. This is the third trailer I picked up this week that had a bad light - further evidence there are some lazy drivers that would rather let the next driver fix the problem than tend to it themselves. Scoundrels.

The highlight of my day tomorrow might be browsing the Wal-Mart across the street. Or actually having the opportunity to start reading my book. We shall see.
