    I get tired of everyone's suck.

    Was doing my pretrip and came across a full trash bag at rear of trailer. I picked it up and walked it 4 spaces to the EMPTY trash cans.

    We had a lot of wind tonight that downed a lot of branches. Dozens of trucks that make multiple trips drove around a particular one into the other lane. Not a huge deal as there isn’t any traffic except for us. But still. I stopped and moved it off the road.

    Dead deer in middle of opposite lane on a state route. I saw it coming inbound. On the way out it was still there and getting run over. Dozens of the same trucks going through. Again I stopped and drug it off the road.

    None of this took a long time and none of it was unsafe. The act of leaving the stuff there and driving around it is unsafe. Especially if a four wheeler decides to come into oncoming lane.

    22 degrees this morning but thankfully massive amounts of hydrocarbons are keeping man bride and cat comfortable.

    Their governor is in a wheelchair. It makes it difficult to waddle off.

    We
    Went over a really bad bridge with 45k in the box. When I landed, the load snatched me back across my lap belt.
    It's hard to explain to people who have never driven a truck, but I think most of you guys get it.
    It's pretty painful in the morning, but I take a couple of Alives and it gets tolerable. Only problem is that I know I couldn't bear to drive like this for 10 hours. It's hard to know what to do.

    Physical therapy is your friend— took a month, but they fixed my booger’d up neck right up and showed me how to keep it that way
