Now you must pay the piper

Location: State rest area 30 miles south of Tuscaloosa, Alabama on I-20

Woooeeee, old Billy Bob is down for the count this morning. I had a feeling this was gonna happen. I feel like somebody done beat me with a highway stripe an' a couple exit signs. I hurt all over this morn'n. Although, I have got the best sleep the last 3 nights I've had in years. Go to sleep by 11pm and never wake up till 7:30 am.

But life must go on. Here in a little bit I will climb behind the wheel and continue on down the road a piece. With only 230 miles to destination, I feel I have done a pretty good job of lay'n down 830 highway miles in just 3 days of travel. I haven't really felt too bad physically, considering I've been "push'n the limit". My limit.

So why the hell am I in such a hurry? Well, ya see, it's like this.....my son Robert has camping on his mind and you know how his daddy feels bout camp'n. Maybe we can get in a good camp'n trip before we tear "da house" to pieces. Once we start removing the slide out extendaroom, "da house" is grounded until all repairs are finished.

Ok....got to put my sandals on, climb behind the wheel and head 'em up. See ya down the road a piece.

1:15 pm update: Location Georgia

Boy howdy I mean to tell ya, the old Billy Bob an' Sadie Mae is 1 mile inside the Georgia State line. Pull over to the side the road at the Georgia State funded rest area. This is a good'un if'n ya wanted to stay a couple days.

Holy smokes, that's a car on fire over there. The first photo didn't come out as I pushed the wrong button for bout the hunnert time. I would a been a good one with smoke a hunnert feets in the air, fire trucks, cops, and a line of traffic back up for miles. Then on up the road a piece was all kind of road construction. Who say Alabama ain't got no money?? They had workers stand'n round lean'n on shovels just wait'n for a paycheck.

Ok, so I don't practice what I preach all the time. Yeah I could have stop off somewheres for a day or two, or I could have stuck to my own rules.....200 mile a day and no more than 6 hours travel time. Once I got on the road, I was feeling pretty  darn good. Of course I took me up some aspirin for my aches and pains
and an alka seltzer for the old queezy belly. I'm fine. Just weren't 4 hours ago.

Gonna hang out here for a bit at the rest area. Lay back and enjoy the gentle breeze over a fresh cup of coffee.

Final update: I are here safe and sound. That's all folks....see ya tomorrow.
