Pharr, Texas

For some reason the name of this town just makes me think of Sesame Street, when Grover would do near and far. But that is just a random association. We are staying the night in a Red Roof Inn, a big step up from the Super 8 in Gary, Indiana.

Dinner tonight was at a really good restaurant, Rudy's Country Store and Barbeque, it truly is a chain designed for low investment. Folding chairs and tables, paper for plates, all making it look like a picnic. They give a sample of the brisket and the turkey when you tell them that you are a new customer. Both were really good, but I went with baby back ribs, which were really good. It was a bit expensive for the meal, but it was really filling.

Tomorrow morning we will be getting rid of our load, in four different locations. However our return load has been cancelled. They found us a replacement load, that picks up Thursday morning. So if we drove it solo we would get back sometime Saturday. Since we both want to be back on Friday, and he feels that after one more week of training I could be done and on my own, we are thinking about team driving it back up. Which will get it there a lot faster, and get us both home. Of course plans could change if they find us a load to pick up tomorrow.

Time for some away from truck relaxing.....
