    Don't let anyone get under your skin. You control your own destiny and if you at least try everything you want that you possibly can, you win.
    I am a huge Hockey fan. I compare many things in life to hockey, as it can relate.
    Take the shot,eh.
    You never know what kind of crazy bounce will happen.
    In the end, you miss all the shots you never take.

    I agree... It is better to try and fail than to not even try at all.....

    Been said many times to "chase your dreams" and "don't let anyone stop you" but when people do, there are always those that say, "you will fail".... I guess they don't chase their dreams and they are those that don't even give it a shot....

    Has anyone else experienced this? I refill my mega 64oz mug with what is labeled lemonade on the fountain. I leave the pilot and go park elsewhere. I take my first sip of this cold beverage and it's carbonated! I'm kinda shocked because it's like crystal Pepsi, you expected one taste and your mind says otherwise.
    I took a second taste and tried to decide if I liked it. It resembled squirt, which I like, but it was also tart.
    Im too lazy to go and replace it, I guess I'll live with it. It's almost like club soda with lemonade. It's drinkable . Just unexpected

    I'll be going to try to watch a movie in the Amarillo petro. Hope it's not too crowded.

    I have done the same thing with the fountain drink. I just can't handle the carbonated water or whatever it is that comes out of those machines when the drink is empty.

    Yeah, I had to dump it and start over with just ice water. Couldn't handle that gross after taste and the present taste wasn't great either. No movie room at this petro. Kinda odd.

    I don't have cable but, I have TV and movies I download off the net. I fuel mostly at the TA/Petro and at the end of the year, I pay $152 or whatever it is for a year of wifi, with my points. Than I do my best to get to a TA early so I can get the spots closest to the building, where the antenna is, for better reception. Once in a while, while on a restart or something, I will go inside and watch cable...lol

    I used to do that with the old flying j wifi.
    Im bare bones now. Not even a laptop. Just my phone, podcasts, and a mini DVD player.
    I went over the mountain today on I 70 to grand junction. (Got to have chains now) it's been a few years since making this drive. My ears popped a few times and I kind of have a headache now.
    Tomorrow I go back to golden for a beer run to Va. Hope they get me home by Monday after that.
    Ill have another 3k week.
    Good night
