I got home last night at 8:00 pm. It's been an eventful 3 days, and now I have 3 days off to recurrence.
From Ankeny, IA I went to Cedar Rapids, IA to pick up rolls of paper. Since I was close to Dubuque I decided to stop for the night near there and try to see Kathy et al. We were able to meet in Cascade, IA (20 mi from Dubuque). Jenna, the boys and a friend of theirs also came. Elias played in the truck and we went to Subway so I could get something to eat. It was a good time.
The next morning I drove to Red Wing to refuel. For the first time since driving trucks I went thru Decorah. At Red Wing I needed to have 2 new front tires put on, and put in 222 gallons of diesel fuel. At a truck stop that would have cost over $1,000. After that I drove to White Bear Lake, MN to drop off rolls of paper. I was then sent to Eagan to pick up a load of Coca-Cola products which I drove up to Virginia, MN in northern Minnesota. Once there I picked up an empty trailer which I needed to take to a paper mill in Cloquet, MN.
This is where it got interesting. I was close to being out of hours and needed to find a place to stop. I saw an abandoned truck stop in Canyon, MN and turned off the Hwy onto a frontage road. The turn however was quite sharp and I wasn't able to make it without taking out a sign. So I instead went into a business that had a large grassy area next to it's building. I attempted to turn the truck around, but in the process the front tires went into a soft spot and settled 8-9" into the turf. I was stuck. Embarrassed and a bit upset. I needed to find a way to get out. No one was around, but finally the owner of the business drove by. I was able to get a phone number for a wrecker. An hour later I was pulled free. It was an expensive mistake however. Wreckers are not cheap and I gave the owner some money to repair the area of grass where the truck was stuck. Besides that I was concerned that this incident might effect my employment. I am just a week away from the end of my 90 probationary period. I had visions of being fired or needing to start over with the probationary period. I didn't sleep well that night (Thur). Yesterday morning with trepidation I call Monson and spoke with the Safety person. I explained what happened and how I took care of it and asked if I needed to fill out an Accident Report. He said no. He thought I handled it well after getting stuck. I was extremely relieved as you can imagine.
After the call I drove from Cloquet, MN to a town in WI called Combined Locks. It's close to Appleton. It was a 6 hour drive. After unloading I went to Menasha, WI, 10 miles away and picked up another load of rolls of paper and was told to take that to the terminal in Red Wing. That took 4.5 hours.
For the week I drove 2700 miles. A good week.
Tristan spent the night with me and we watched the new 'National Treasure' movie just out on video.
I hope you are all doing well and are enjoying your weekend. I intend to take it easy and rest up. - James (Jibs - Dad/Papa )

The first online casinos opened 10 years ago, and now there are hundreds that can be found online. Estimates vary as to the number of people who gamble online, but recent estimates suggest that a figure of around seven million worldwide would not be too far out. Taking that into account, and with a further estimate of more than $12 billion spent in online casinos alone (not including physical land-based casinos), offers of free casino chips may understandably be seen as something of a drop in the ocean.

- Have a budget and stick to it. Decide how much you can afford to spend and bet wisely. Pace your betting, so you don't blow your stash on one risky bet. Before you know it you will be signing off, your online casino experience a short one.
First, never choose a casino on the sole basis of his ranking in the search engine results. They are not necessarily good rankings on how a casino. You must go through several online casino sites to compare the benefits in detail and then make a decision. For example, should offer a bonus and, if so, how much. Are there any special promotions available?

If you’re like me when you first saw the term “arbitrage sports betting” you just said, “huh?” You may even be reading this article because you were wondering. It is a relatively little method that can actually allow you to make money no matter who wins or loses. Kind of like heads I win, tails I win!
One key thing to remember when you are seeking out the best sports betting odds is that the best odds and the best sports bookmaker are not necessarily one and the same.

The changes that are going to be made to the Wire Act are quite simple. First and foremost the internet will be added to the list of wire communications that are prohibited. Of course the internet was not around in 1961 so it was not included in the first draft. In addition, penalties for breaking the Wire Act will increase from a maximum of two years in prison to five.
From the above, therefore, you can see that finding a good Selection System and sticking to it is the only way to go if you are truly serious about making money at sports betting.
So I bit the bullet -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-Red%252di-with-Speakers.html]Fatman iTube Red[/url] and I am very glad to report that I made out like a bandit. I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months back and just couldn't get that sound out of my head because it really truly surprised me. I searched everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I telephoned them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Shipping was fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they dispatch outside of Australia but you won't be sorry if they do.
