Well shoot, we haul'n. Left Sinton, Texas for the Texas safety inspection place just up the road a piece. Nice lady was eat'n a salad for lunch an' I tole her I was in a hurry t get out of town. That worked, she put down her fork an' wint out an' check all my lights, git on the computer, says "that'll be $7 an' have a good day. Ha, an' I was stress'n that "da house wouldn't pass inspection.
We got on Hwy 77 headed north by 11am I'm think'n it was. Stop at a picnic area an' discovered a cat scream'n "git me out of here". We now have a cat puppy on board. Since we was on hwy 77, Robert named it "Seventy Seven".....go figger. I'm guess'n 4 weeks old.
Stopped for gas.
That storm what Dizzy Dick said I would miss, let me tell ya bout a storm. We was 50 mile or so south of Tyler, Texas an' there was lightning, "A" bomb" thunder an' rain drops big as gallon jugs. Crus'n down the road bout 50 mile a hour.....cain't see squat. We sleeped on I-20 bout 400 mile up the road a piece. Rain for hours.
Some drizzle rain this morn'n, but by the time we got on the road (9:30am), it was clear skys. We headed east for Shreveport an' beyond.
Stopped for gas.
We are now half ways in the slap middle of Mississippi.....721 miles to be exact. That's not bad time for a second day. An' we gonna head on further down the road here in a bit. NO WAIT, no we ain't. We gonna stay right here until morn'n....only 280 miles to "Yo Mama's". Shoot, we gonna be there for "mama's" day.
The entire day, after the rains quit, has been a wonderful day. Not even a ounce of troubles. I can vouch for that.
See ya down the road a piece...tomorrow some time.

When I said you would miss the rain, I thought you were going to take I-10 east. Sorry you got hit with that storm up that way. News said that there were tornadoes, too.
ReplyDeleteI could'a swored Dizzy that in a previos post I said I would be traveling on I-20. But I been wrong one other time too.
DeleteEast of Shreveport was great....even had us some sunshine a couple times.
Glad you got through the inspection with no drama.
ReplyDeleteShoot Jim, there are times we get all stressed out for nuttin. This was one of 'em.
Deletehi BB. i guess it was meant to be that you be a cat owner . can you post some pictures of your new kitty ( Seventy Seven ) and robert and other stuff on your nice trouble free trip ? how many miles was driven in 2 days by old BB.? have a great remaining trip .
ReplyDeleteHi ya Louie. Not sure that I want me another cat, but dad gum it, this one is sooo freak'n cute. It has identical markings on both sides.....never see that before.
Delete"WE" drove a total of 721 mile since yesterday morning. My contribution behind the wheel was right at 350 miles. Only 280 mile to go.
Wow, you are haul'n! Wonderful to know that you had nary a problem. Some stroke of luck with the inspection lady, too. Happy trails tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteIt ain't my fault we haul'n. Dad gum Robert likes driv'n a big ol' motorhome. Another 200 mile, I'll have him trained to stay off'n the shoulder an' out of the ditch.
DeleteYes, I was sooo proud of that inspection lady. She done it "my" way.
Your weather has been making the news all the way up here in Canada! Careful out there.
ReplyDeleteNow you are making awesome time, only 280 miles could be there for lunch.
ReplyDeleteWay to go.

ReplyDeleteGood deal. Safe travels on the last leg of your trip.
