Pittsburgh to Rochester – Turkeys that weren’t too bright!

Sunday we left home for Pittsburgh to move Book of Mormon to Rochester.  We were a week later heading out due to Vince contracting some type of flu the previous week.  While I too was sick, his being sick definitely shuts down all operation of the truck.  I think there has only been three to four times in the last eleven years that I can remember Vince raising the white flag. I was thankful that at least this time he was home.

On our way up the very steep hill in Bridgeville, PA that leads to where the trailers are stored for the shows we encountered three deer.  Thankfully they all stayed at the side of the road and just stared at us.  But when we came up seven turkeys wandering around to our left, they decided to provide verification that they are in fact the dumbest birds.  As we headed up the hill toward them, they all seven ran straight at the front of the truck.  Talk about a group suicide mission, of course we were only going five miles an hour and were able to let them pass in front of the truck, but seriously talk about not being too bright.

The theatre in Pittsburgh I have to say was one of the least eventful times I have ever experienced in Pittsburgh.  Usually the streets have a lot of traffic and people wandering around even late on Sunday nights but this time they let me down.  There was very little traffic and foot traffic was minimal.

Our trip to Rochester was colorful with many of the leaves having turned. It made me excited to see the rest of the fall colors that await me.  The Rochester load in while definitely a tight fit for the trucks in the parking lot was otherwise uneventful.  We are now on our way to Grand Rapids to pick up a trailer then head to Tampa.  That trip should give me many colorful scenic views and hopefully some fun and interesting stories
