Slow weekend

Las Cruces, New Mexico is about 660 miles away from my delivery in Mesquite, Texas and I could have driven it on Saturday then squeezed in a 34 on Sunday and the morning hours of Monday. After looking over my log for last week there didn't seem to be a reason to hurry, as I'm left with almost 20 hours anyway and start picking them up again Monday night (commercial drivers in the US work on an 8-day schedule for some arcane reason).

Oh, and I tend towards the lazy side of things.

I stopped in Big Spring, Texas on Saturday then on Sunday fueled up in Weatherford. Got the truck washed there, too. I'm spending Sunday night a few miles down the road from my consignee and I'll finish up early tomorrow morning.
