I’m sitting out the blizzard in Cheyenne, WY. High winds and blowing snow caused them to shut down all of the roads through WY. Good chance to get some knitting done.
I stopped here yesterday for some fuel and breakfast. By the time I had finished eating they had shut down the highway. Can’t say I blame them as that wind is extremely dangerous and even as heavy as I am loaded it was pushing my rig around like a toy.
I finished binding off the bottom edge of the sweater and have started a sleeve. With this down time I’ve had a chance to get a fair amount of knitting done. Always an up side to these things.
Good for you looking on the positive side of the situation! Nothing you can do about the weather so you may as well take advantage. Can’t wait to see that sweater!
What are you knitting, Guy? I also like to knit when there’s a thunderstorm or rain/snow outside. You can sit down by the fireside, relax and let your spirit soar.
As I live just 3 hrs up the shutdown freeway from you, I can tell you it was nasty. They shut down just about everyplace in town except for where I work, though probably 3/4 of the people weren’t in. Took me twice as long to drive it, though I live in town just off one of the major streets; it’s about a mile and a half, took over 15 minutes. Today the sun is shining and we don’t have wind here, but I guess it’s still kicking up outside of town. At least it looks pretty - all white and blue.

Oy, my husband and I know about the road to Cheyenne!
Back in 1973 (if you can believe THAT!) we were headin’ back home (Washington) from Nebraska, the month of June. The road got hit with a blizzard, rigs were overturned on the highway, and finally they closed the sucker down. We holed up in Somewhere, USA, with our 3 children, one of which was 5 months old. That’s why the memory is still so vivid! We had intended to camp our way back to Washington. NOT.
Stay warm, dry, and well-fed, my friend!
PS: do you still pay the rent for your apt in Florida? shees, you’ve over the road so much, it seems like rent is money out the window!
What do other single truckers do when they’re on the road 30 days out of the month? Do they find a way to save ‘rent’ by some other type of ‘nest’ to light into once in a while?
Your work seems so interesting…the travel from place to place. Good thing you’re such a friendly guy, with a hobby that attracts conversation in your ports-o-call!

I own a place down there and make payments on it as well as lot rent payments. Right now I have all the utilities turned off to save money. It does often seem like a waste of money but it’s always nice to have a place to go home to from time to time.
Some drivers save money by not having a place and just living in their trucks 100% of the time, others have family to stay with, and some just rent a room here and there.
