Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

Today's Question

Well, after many faxes back and forth ... they finally said they would unload me at 10:00 a.m. today EST. Then I waited all yesterday afternoon and all night ... I am currently backed into a door, and they have actually started to take some pallets off.

After this is done, I need to get across Atlanta ... pick up another load ... and deliver it in Quincy, FL tomorrow morning.


The Question: will I run out of money and fuel before I run out of miles to get back home??

Concerns: 1) I have half a tank of fuel (maybe 75-85 gallons) 2) I get 6 miles to a gallon (+ or less) 3) Over 350 miles to Quincy 4) Have to pay lumpers at Publix in Dacula, GA ($85-100) 5) Have to pay lumpers at SuperValue in Quincy, FL ($85-100) 6) An additional 100+ miles from Quincy to the yard 7) Only $300 to do it all with ...
