Today was a long day - 9.5 hours. We got up at 7:15. After breakfast it took until 8:45 to get going. That was because the trailer hitch refused to hook up. It didn't help that it was cold - 45 degrees.
Once on the road everything went smoothly except for a nasty headwind that we fought all day. Gas mileage was between 8 and 9 all day. Diesel was about $4.05/gal. This caused a few more fuel stops that slowed progress.
I was feeling tired until I drank a couple of Mountain Dews. That gave me enough energy to go on to Carlsbad instead of stopping in Pecos. We'll have a shorter day tomorrow. We're stopping at a casino. It should be fun.
