I made Marion, IL, tonight instead of stopping in Paducah. My new load delivers tomorrow evening in Sterling, IL, so I wanted to get as far as possible today without messing up my log book. Actually, I was planning on fudging on the book a little, but the scale was open south of Marion so there is a record of my truck passing through it at about the time I wanted to show I was already in Marion. I know it sounds complicated, but running out of hours is a major screw-up and I've been driving long enough not to do that again.

I finished the second section of Chapter 6 this morning. Now, all I have to do is the third section. Three very important events occur in this chapter and I'm looking forward to getting to Chapter 7 which looks like it will be fairly easy.

Chapter 4 has been returned from the editor and has been sent to the elves to get posted. Hopefully, it'll be up sometime tomorrow.

I seem to be doing pretty good as far as the psycho shit goes. I'd like to think everything is peachy keen, but I've been a horrible cynic for so long I can't imagine life getting better much less having a good outlook.
