UNEXPECTED LOADS = DON'T GO THERE

THURSDAY MARCH 23 2012
EL PASO TO ABILENE TX.

YOU KNOW IT TAKES 3 DAYS TO CROSS TEXAS AT THIS LEISURELY RATE OF TRAVEL. IT IS NICE TO SMELL THE FLOWERS ALONG THE WAY.

WE SAID GOODBY TO EL PASO AND HEADED TOWARD MIDLAND TEXAS AND ALL WAS IN ORDER HOWEVER WE FAILED TO CALL FOR A RESERVATION AND WE ROLLED INTO A VERY NICE PV PARK CALLED "THE OIL PATCH". WELL WE HEARD THAT THERE WAS AN OIL BOOM IN THE AREA. OIL BOOM? WHY IS GAS SO HIGH IN TEXAS? ANYWAY THE RV PARK WAS FULL AND HAD NO SPACE FOR A YEAR AS THE FOLKS THERE WERE WORKING ON THE OIL RIGS AND HAD LOCKED UP THEIR SPACE FOR THE LONG TERM.
POINT BEING = THERE WAS NO ROOM AT THE INN.

SO BACK INTO THE KNIGHT AND WE HEAD FOR ABILENE TX = A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY = ABOUT 150 MILES.

THE COACH ROLLED INTO THE ABILENE KOA ABOUT 7PM [3 HOURS AFTER OUR PLANED STOP AT MIDLAND]. HOOK UPS WERE COMPLETED AND NOW WHAT FOR DINNER?
WHILE READING THE KOA BROCHURE I NOTICED AN AD FOR A STEAK HOUSE THAT DELIVERED TO THE KOA, SAY WHAT??
YES THEY DO AND DID, I HAD A RIB EYE AND SANDY HAD A FILET BOTH WITH A LOADED BAKED POTATO.
THE STEAKS WERE FANTASTIC, MELT IN YOUR MOUTH FANTASTIC, COOKED TO PERFECTION.
WHODA THUNK?

ANYWAY NOW THAT YOU HAVE HAD A MOMENT TO DIGEST THE TITLE ABOVE, HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT SOME OF THE UNUSUAL MACHINERY THAT IS LOADED ON TO THESE BIG SEMIS IS FOR?
WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE PROP BLADES FOR THE WIND GENERATORS AND THE PARTS OF THE POSTS THAT THEY MOUNT ON AS WELL AS TRACTORS, PIPES, HAY BALES AND THE LIKE BUT, THERE ARE THINGS I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE FOR MUCH LESS WHAT THEY DO. I DO KNOW THAT THEY SHURE LOOK EXPENSIVE. THE CLOSED UP TRAILERS WITH NO NAMES, WHATS IN THERE?
WE CAN ASSUME WHAT A TRUCK WITH BEST BUY, OR LOWES OR HOME DEPOT IS CARRYING BUT THE CLOSED ONES?
I'M THINKING THIER ARE SOME UNEXPECTED THINGS INSIDE THOSE TRAILERS, MAYBE WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW AND I AM SURE WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW. JUST THOUGHTS.

THURSDAY TO TEXARKANA TX
