On the 8th, Tomo came up to the Edmonton, Alberta area and headed out to picked up a load of peat moss in Seba beach. He then hauled the load down to Calgary, Alberta. At Calgary he swapped his load of peat moss with another driver, Jimmy. Jimmy's load was a refrigerated load to be deliver first thing in the morning on the 10th in Calgary.
So our very intelligent young trucker, decided to utilize his time by sampling the local Indian Cuisine. He found himself in a Indian restaurant in Calgary, Alberta. (Practicing for his upcoming adventure to India and Sri Lanka).
His dinner was Lamb meat curry with rice and nan. Very tasty but realized that this kind of food would also produce some natural gas the following day.
(AS the young trucker put it: * I am going to be farting like crazy tomorrow!! )

After dropping the refrigerated load off on Thursday early morning, Tomo began his final run back to the Anaconda Yard. His itinerary was to head back to yard empty from Calgary. This was his last run through the border crossing at Coutts and passed through without a hitch this time.
The plan was to work through Friday the 11th but that plan changed and probably because of the three day weekend for Veteran's Day.

On early Friday morning, Tomo headed east to Melville, Montana. A few weeks back, Tomo had a nice opportunity to meet up with some friends in this little out of the way burg. He decided to make another visit to see them and have a chat about future employment.
On Saturday, Tomo made his way back to Washington and was able to have the weekend in Cheney, Washington with some lovely friends and Auntie Lucille. It was good to see them and of course Auntie Lu. She had been in Japan for over 50 years and loves to have a wee visit with Tomo in Japanese.

On Sunday afternoon, Tomo headed south west, over to Pasco, Benton City to see a few more friends Brad and Cliff and Marie. Then he headed back to the Coast.
Once back on the western coast, he has been going about getting things in order for his trip to India and Sri Lanka. He needs to update a few of his inoculations and then he will be set to go.
On Noverber 17, 2011, Tomo had a day working for a man that has a small transporting business up in Granite Falls, Washington. Tomo has wanted to drive for this guy, as he specializes in oversize loads, and that is one of Tomo's interests.
Here are some shots from his day job with Casey!!
