My Travels

Sunset in my sideview mirror going east on I-80 in Iowa with a HUGE thunderstorm in front of me -- this photo really doesn't do it justice - it was AWESOME!

And so it begins, my foray into the 21st Century and exercise my journalistic skills (at least in MY head) to share my adventures with whoever cares - or is it 'whomever?' I'm sure my dad will let me know!

I believe it was my rain luvin' cuz, Sherita, that first suggested I blog my adventures. I'm finally getting a 'round tuit'. But what precipatated (where's the spell check?) this imagined need for sharing my travels?

Two things: first of all, I have always loved to write. I was a journalism major after all. Telling stories thru pictures and words is something I REALLY enjoy. And I've been told, I ain't too bad at it. Second, after more than 50 years on this earth, I have found a job that I absolutely LOVE. I deliver 'Hot Shot' loads around the midwest and south. If someone needs something larger delivered (ie. C-130 airplane propellers or locomotive radiators or an antique tractor, etc) I will do it. I have a 30' flatbed trailer and can haul anything up to 15,000 lbs.

And now I have modified my trailer so I can also carry my HD Road King -- travelling the USA with my bike and getting paid for it; what could be better?

Perhaps now you understand my need to spread the word on what an absolutely wonderful - and blessed - life I have. I see things and go places that many people don't. And I want to share.

Thanks for the opportunity. I will try to update regularly - a few times per week. And look - now I can add pictures!!! Here is a link to some past pix:
