We have entered our last week on the road before heading home for just a couple of days. We are spending the night tonight in Clear Lake/Mason City, Iowa area – and it’s still cold! We can feel the temps warming up a bit….I think it was around 15 degrees today.
I have a busy Monday morning of phone calls and interviews before we head out of the hotel. We’re going to get our truck washed – again! The snowy weather has really taken a toll on the rig and it’s just plain nasty looking right now. It’s begging for a bath! After the wash, we’ll head to Stevens Point where our next performance is at the Sentry Theatre on Tuesday.
Once our final performance is over on Friday at the Performing Arts Center in Wisconsin Rapids, we’ll be driving to Milwaukee. Cindy and Kylie will be flying home while David and I will bring home the truck. That’s a big change of plans, thanks to the FMCSA Officer in Iowa! We were going to ALL fly home for a few days because our next show on March 4 is back in Iowa. Now, we drive the rig home so I can take my CDL exam and then turn around and drive it back to pick up the girls when they arrive in Milwaukee…then off to Pella, Iowa. It’s going to be a very busy and short trip home for me and David.
Tonight – we rest and have dinner at Perkins!
