August 24th... just.

Sioux Falls FJ tonight... What a joke they are now. Half of them will not accept the J cards anymore, so they charge for refills despite you putting in 200 gallons of fuel. I think Pilot are going to be the best friends for all the small, independant truckstops now, as well as the Petros, as Petro have revamped their cards to be like the J cards used to be.

I had to stop here to email my Dad's lawyer. All this stuff, huh? I had to pay $5 to send an email so I figured I would sit awhile..

I am heading home again now. I delivered Edmonton on Friday (bet they loved me there with all those portaloos) and even managed to get reloaded in Spruceland. Good guys there. I was supposed to be delivering that in Sturgis, MI, but I have to be home for tomorrow night so I can take Puff up to the city for her operation on Weds morning. She is already cussing about hospital food. She will be in for 7 to 10 days so she best get used to it. Instead, they gave me a load to Dakota City, NE, and a reload out of Norfolk for Calgary. Perfect! It means I can get Alison to the hospital, be there while she is in surgery and immediately afterwards, then I can keep the bills paid by dropping Calgary on Friday, reload and home again.

Sadly, I will not be able to get to my Dad`s service. I wrote my Eulogy and his brother will read it for me. I am trusting the other family members not to stop him or cause him trouble.. They need to remember that I shall be coming over to pay my respects in the not too distant future, and I know where they all live.

So, latest trip...
