September 22 – up at the crack of noon. Well, 08:00. It rained a bit during the night- of course, being the midwest, it didn't help. While temps were down, humidity was waaaay up. Like trying to breathe soup. With noodles.
Only your normally stupid drivers today. Made it as far as Larkspur, CO (about 50 miles from consignee.) using the E470 toll road. Jeasus! That damn toll road is expensive. Basically, a dollar a mile. Next time I'm gonna hit town and go through. $30 to go from Brighton to the south end of Denver is stupid. Especially when it doesn't save much time over 225 etc (if you time it right).
Yeah, it would save a bit of time if I had one of those pass thingies, but having to stop every 10 miles ate up a lot (if not all) of the time savings.
Got to Larkspur just in the nick of time... I'd wanted to shut down a bit early, so I could roll over some time into tomorrow's 10 hours. Nope. Time ran out as I trundled off the highway into the rest area.
So, here I sit tonight. Time to play some solitaire.
