Not sure what happened today I actually slept until 6:30 this morning! 2 1/2 hours longer than usual and even went to bed at my usual 9 pm. Totally throws me off schedule now. But in no rush today only have about a 4 -5 hour drive. Don't get the sunrise not until 8 am now plus we are heading through Abilene TX about 10 miles down the road so want to wait until after 9 am anyway. And skip around Fort Worth heading north.
