We made it home last night around dinner time.  The ride was pretty much uneventful - other than stopping at just about every rest stop along the way.  Deb is happy to be home and is ready to work on the rest of her rehab and healing.  She is walking pretty well - just a bit slow and carefully as her left leg is still lacking some feeling and is hard to keep under control.

I am maybe getting too old to accept the current conditions on the interstate highways without griping about it - especially I-75.  I drove 74mph in the slow lane and driving any slower would have made me uncomfortable  - that speed seemed to allow me to blend in with the majority of the traffic in the slow lane and yet keep the Police from paying any attention to me as I drove past them....when I went into the other lanes I got out of them as quickly as I could so I didn't get run over by the folks going 80 or 90mph.  I was also overwhelmed by the number of semi trucks on the roads......the parking spots in the rest areas and ramps jammed full with trucks taking their time off the road - and in the daytime the number of trucks seemed to be equal to the number of cars in some places.  I guess the good economy and Amazon/Ebay shopping has made the shipping of goods by truck explode.  This became a problem in some of the hilly areas where the slow trucks attempted to pass each other and block all the lanes - sometimes these rolling road blocks could last for several miles before a lane around them opened up.

   

Good news and I agree with you about the jackass truckers trying to pass each other...uphill.

I see how you were able to stay awake for 16 hours.  

That dog sure is keeping your teeth white...

You mean you couldn't make the car zip around the rolling road blocks like you do with the cafe bike
