Food, Glorious Food!! Inverter is finally installed!

On Thursday, Tomo crossed the Canadian border at 7 am at Coutts, Alberta.  He headed to Shelby, Montana and left for the yard and arrived at 3 pm.  On Friday his truck was in the shop being worked on and so he was able to do a bit of personal business and errands.  Tomo did a short haul of talc from Three Forks,  Montana to the yard.  

After his truck was set up with his inverter, he finally got to use his rice cooker.  A happy, happy Trucker!  He made some curry and rice for his dinner and has been cooking nicely since.   

First time for cooking rice in the truck couple days ago.

The day I cooked rice, did curry the same day too. 

On Saturday, around noon, Tomo took off with a load for Grand Prairie, Alberta.  He had a full load of lime hydrate.  Tomo and his younger brother had a home stay about 10 years ago in High Prairie, Alberta with some friends there.  The boys flew into Grand Prairie Airport and so it was interesting for him to travel these roads again.  Along the way he saw a black bear lumbering across the road.

You know your are in the far north when you see this kind of sign. 

What Tomo calls Redneck style bird hunting!

After Grand Prairie drop, Tomo headed down to Seba Beach, AB  and picked up a load of peat moss.  This peat moss was heading for Columbus Montana, and then Billings, Montana.  It is for a residential care facility for the mental disability.  They use it in their greenhouses.  Along the way he was able to stop and have a Wednesday night meeting with a family in Melville, Montana.

Saturday Lunch!! To all the moms out there, for a truckers meal doesn't it look good? 

Tomo then headed too Colony , Wyoming (a small little spot in the road that clips the NW corner of Wyoming, then on to Mitchell, South Dakota.  He hauled a load of kitty litter that was bound for Illinois and swapped out with a driver in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.  That load came out of Muscatine, Iowa. That load will be dropped off in Lethbridge and Edmonton, Alberta. Another load of  furniture and office supply.
