  • Travel Day

    Another travel job, this time in the fine city of Minneapolis Minnesota. I’ll be there until Monday. The amount of equipment I take on this job requires the rental of a truck, so I’m really going to enjoy it while I have it. 

  • Back Home – Michigan Photos

    We made much better time coming home then we did going to MI. Traveling at night seems to be the key, and I think we’ll be doing a lot more of it. They normally go to bed around 7pm, which is a great time to travel. No traffic, and no delays through the many constructions zones on I-94 right now.

    Here are a few photos, and  you can find more on Flickr. I should have some video posted later this week.

  • In Michigan for the Weekend

    Since we were unable to make the trip last weekend for the family reunion, we made a last minute decision to visit the family this weekend instead. We’re here until Sunday night when we’ll drive back starting at 8pm in hopes of making better time then we did coming into Detroit. Due to traffic and non-stop construction, it took us 8 hours to make it here. That’s the longest it has taken, with the only exception being a snow storm trip that took 12.

    On the up side, we got some great mileage. We averaged over 50 miles per gallon over 300 miles, a new personal best! Normally it’s in the low to mid 40’s. So it took less then a half tank of gas to get here with a 12 gallon tank. Not to bad!

    Photos later, as well as some video of Madison.
