    hmm.
    I told them yesterday when i googled this address it didn’t look right.

    they said “Yes, we’ve seen trucks there before.”
    me “That don’t mean much, I’ve been sent to wrong address before.”

    Here is where we are in Downtown Joplin, MO.

    Now that all the virus money is gone, and authoritarian take over has failed, all the viruses and germs that fled our society for 2-1/2 years are returning.

    So.. I don’t think they were on a Hiatus.
    I think the media covered up the regular sickness and blamed it all on Covid.

    My Dr. Tried telling me the reason for no colds and flu was because everyone was masked up. I said come on I really like you and we've been together for years but really

    Well I had a late night last night trying to stay ahead of the cultivators so they werent waiting on me. Didnt get back to the plant until 2100 and needed to be in a little early... So I opted to just stay in the truck. Scaled myself in and parked under the load out.

    It was a beautiful night parked under the load out, ready for the morning. About 40°, had the windows down about half, sun roof opened, curtains only closed about half way, nice and quiet. Slept great, awoke at about 0545. By 0600 the truck was warming up, my hatches were open, and the loadout hose was in my lead... But I didnt realize they shut down the air compressor at night. So when the loader showed up at 0630 I still had to wait nearly an hour to start loading (air pressure is what operates the valves for the various tanks).

    A few articles have popped up that look into the low number of cold and flu cases.
    The leading reasons were distancing and sanitation. Increased hand washing, cleaning contact surfaces.
    People not jamming together as well. The most common method of transmission is by contact with a contaminated surfaces. Airborne risk does exist, some one who is contagious coughs or sneezing near you . That is really the only place a mask would be of any value. Block the airborne risk, that is the lowest risk.

    Well we've reached an agreement. We now have Truck 3. Which only has 140K miles on it.

    This means okiedokie is going to need to get his cdl back.
