Another weekend has come and gone. As usual it wasn't long enough. We did manage to go visit a fellow driver that is recovering from surgery. He is looking good and has lost almost 100 lbs already.
Never did get the boat out to go fishing this weekend. Will just have to wait and see what happens next weekend. I'm really getting the itch to go fishing out on Green Bay. I have been out on Lake Michigan aboard my dads boat this year and had some luck with the salmon. Plan on doing alot more of that this year.
We start getting paid pratical miles this week. At least we will be alot closer to actual miles run. Being a company driver it will help put a little more money in my pocket. I think most companies will be going this way in order to keep what drivers they have and to get other drivers to work for them. When the company I drive for told us of the change in pay I was beginning to think about finding a company that was paying pratical miles. I was glad they did it because I didn't want to leave. I am happy here but happy doesn't pay the bills. Need to go where a person can be happy and make more money. Now I can just keep knocking off the miles and watch the extra money come in! I suppose Uncle Sam will be grinning ear to ear watching the extra tax money coming in too. A little more for me will probably mean alot more for him.
Time to get out of here and get some sleep. Need to get an early start tomorrow.
