I just KNEW this was going to happen!

I left Florida more than a week ago (now) headed for Belleville (suburb of St. Louis on the IL side for those who don't know) and have been going 150 mile an hour since. I suspected this blog would take a change with my new situation here for a few reasons.

First of all, I won't be traveling as many miles as before so the title of the blog probably needs to be updated. Most of my runs will be regional. And then I wasn't sure how my time was going to be -- at least not at first. Things have been quite crazy this last week. Let me start by catching up.

I got to Belleville Saturday (Sep 27) and spent the night at a good friends house having a fish fry and 'welcome back ' party. They shall remain anonymous to protect the innocent. Hmmm, there wasn't anyone there innocent now that I think about it. Still, I may want to go back sometime.

My first week on the job was quite excellent, I thought. I have worked with these people before so I knew many of the folks. Kind of like 'old home' week. I think I worked about every day and still was able to sleep in a REAL bed everynight -- SWWWWEET!

On Friday I loaded for a trip to Little Rock, AR that delivered Monday morning - which is where I'm sitting right now. I added my bike - complete with 2 new tires - to the trailer and headed down here on Saturday. My youngest son lives 50 miles south of here so I stayed with him and his mother Sat and Sun. That was very nice.

I was up at 4:30 this morning, rode 15 miles back to the truck and trailer (in the misty rain - YUCK), loaded my bike and made the 1 hour trip to my delivery site. I was here 15 minutes early for a 7 AM delivery! Except they aren't ready for me yet.

The Sky Trak (a type of fork lift) won't be here until 9 AM to unload me! No problem. I get paid for detention too. So I'm sitting here making $60/hr updating my blog. Is life good or what? (Except for the rain)

So now you are up to date. I should be able to get into a routine here and update this blog a little more often.

Oh-Oh, looks like I'm in somebody's way. Got to move.
