After visiting family, it’s always nice to get back into our own routine. We might have a load tomorrow and we may not. But our home truck is back from the shop and ready to get back to work.

We had a blast with the kids at the BMX races in Isanti, there were older kids and really older kids racing. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was a lot of fun.

Willie was a handful with a house full of kids, another dog and a cat. He was a blast to watch, when he wasn’t being bad. We would be in the yard and he can run so fast, when he turns he tumbles over or slides on his side. He definitely a tease when it came to the other dog. We could have ten bones on the ground, but both dogs would fight over the same one. If Willie had it, he would tease the other one by getting close to the other dog with the bone in his mouth until the little Boston Terrier would start chasing him, which is what he wanted. I left the movie camera in the truck and we didn’t get any pictures of the two of them because they wouldn’t stand still long enough in the same place.

We are back in the truck and at a truck stop next to I-94 waiting for orders! They changed one of our favorite independent truck stops into a Petro 2. Hopefully the restaurant and the bakery are still the same.

I’ve got the pictures here along with a link to the Youtube videos of the kids racing.
