Time in Minnisota

We arrived in Rogers MN March 3 late at night. We unloaded the next morning and headed to the TA. We got aquainted with 3-4 other company O/O's . All the drivers in our company are Owner/Operators. It was very cold up there. One of the guys fixed ham and beans and cornbread. He had the crock pot out on the draum deck and we gathered around like a bunch of hungary ridders that had just came in off the range. Thur night a former co worker from a comany in Pilot Grove that we both used to be leased to pulled into the TS. We visited with him for a spell. Sat morning we all gathered in the resturaunt for breakfast. A Texas Twisted omlet was my choice with coffee of course.

Sat. I sat in the TV room and visited with a driver from Ireland. Wow listining to him talk was cool. I have a Scott/Irish heritage and would have loved to listen to him longer.
Sunday we got up "early" we thought got ready for church and gathered around the bar for coffee with the gang and promptly realized that the time had changed and we had missed church. We spent a great deal of time visiting our new friends. Mercer drivers are pretty much a family. Its not uncommon to find them grouped togeather in the TS. Well we said our good bys and Tommie and I went back to the truck and I fixed lunch. I got the house put togeather and we hit the road to Duluth.
