First day 

Good Saturday morning!  Yesterday was a long first day back to work.  I thought we were going to shutdown just south of Milwaukee yesterday and wait for the delivery appointment.  Instead,  they changed the ballgame and wanted me there asap and they would let me drop and hook! That worked out well and enabled us to get a headstart on the next trip.  The trip map is automatically drawn for cars since Google doesn’t do truck routes. I modified the trip to be more accurate,  but….it might change again.  I really want to run through South Dakota,  but we will see how things go. By following the exact fuel routing they want me to go, it actually adds more than 125 miles than I’m getting paid for! Long ride ahead, so sit back and enjoy. The snowman camera now has new batteries to last another year and is back on duty! I’m not famous,  but my equipment is! Ha. While my buddy and I were at the Ste Genevieve,  Missouri eclipse festival,  there were multiple media news outlets doing stories and live broadcasts…. While my handsome face was deemed too “goofy for TV”, my camera lens and my buddy’s homemade solar filters and binoculars made it! Woo-hoo!
