Well, there's not much fun and exciting going on here, this week. Jimmy has had to go drive one of our Fedex trucks to Harrisburg,Pa. , a driver wanted off this trip, another driver has given us 2 weeks notice and another driver doesn't want to run full time anymore....Jeez! So....I have an ad for drivers in the paper, again (sigh) this happens every year or two.

In the meantime, Jimmy has ordered a couple of new trucks, one to replace an older one and one to start a new run in.


On the homefront.....Jimmy's mom has been in terrible back pain, for a few weeks, so she's checked into the hospital, for tests (MRI, etc.) Hope to have results by Monday or Tuesday.


Needless to say, we won't be able to make the Charlotte race, next week, but luckily some other friends bought our tickets from us. Our race bunch will be having a good time, anyway......!

Other than that, the weather is still hot here, which is pretty unusual.......normally, after Labor Day it's like flipping a switch and it's down in the 70s!

The picture is just birds, sitting on my roof..........


Well, I'll write again in a few days. Maybe something exciting will happen!

Well, it's Sunday and our friends from Australia are back in the country, now, so they drove in to go to a Rally, then visit us for a day, then they have to go back to Austin for Rod's brother's doctor's appointments. This will be an ongoing thing for several weeks, so , hopefully, they will be back and forth, often, since I have already planned an itenarary for them, ha!ha!

Jimmy had to leave this evening, to drive to Memphis, but will be back, tomorrow afternoon.

Well, signing off for now, more in couple of days.

Good afternoon!

Well, not much has been going on, the last few days. After our epic 3 1/2 month vacation.....we had to come home and make some money, to pay for it....ha! Jimmy volunteered to pick up some new trailers, for Fedex at the railyard, thinking it would just be a few.....WRONG! He's been running back and forth Thursday, Friday (he got home at 3 am) and hit it again, this morning for the last six trailers.....until Sunday! 17 more are coming in! Each round trip is a least 1 hour...only if the traffic is good!

This evening, we are leaving to drive halfway to Ruidoso, N.M. to meet John Johns' bus driver and bring his bus here to have some work done on it.

That's all for now, bye!

This weekend, we decided to get in one of the last hurrahs, of summer, at the lake! This summer was sooooo rainy, that many of the lakes around Dallas/Ft.Worth are still closed, because the boat ramps are still under water. However, Possum Kingdom lake, the lake we go to, is a deep lake anyway, so it just got really full, and was really muddy, due to all the rain.....it is now, back to normal and the Dive School is back in business. (It is usually very clear, so there is a Diving School out there). There are deer everywhere, they come out every evening, to eat....on the golf course. The lake views are incredible! The weekend AFTER Labor Day is really nice. There's not too many people on the lake, and the water is still warm. The dogs LOVE it! They each have their own life jacket and Shadow loves to hitch a ride on Nikki's back. Nikki loves to swim around, then just hang onto Jimmy and float....totally relaxed! Really funny to see...

The boat trailer, has a bearing going out on the wheel....which we discovered about 20 miles out of town....so we had to stop and Jimmy drilled a hole in it to add oil, at least until we got here. Now, we'll just leave the boat here, in the slip, while we order a new bearing assembly to replace the one we just changed in May!!! I guess we'll come out in a week or two, to fix it. I'll add more in a few days.
