    Here I sit. Got a week of home time. Not in any hurry. Really don’t feel like driving 9 hours in my car. Easy with the truck.
    I’ll blab more when I get home. Got 9 months experience in now. No moving violations, or accidents.
    Companies keep offering jobs if I’m unhappy. Many companies. I even got an email from Roehl.

    The other night. A security guard knocked on my door. They needed me to unload.
    Anyway... my cat immediately went under the curtain. Popped up at the door window. The guard said: She looked at me like “what the H! do you want?!” :laughing-guffaw:

    I gotta confess. I really do love being out here OTR. Got everything I need in the truck. I would have been gone in a heartbeat if I had a run.

    I made it home.
    Cat wasn't sure what to do. Kept walking all over. Coming back to me. Then I set up her bed in the front window. She's there now. She loves sitting in windows and watching.
    She didn't want to leave the truck this morning. Wasn't real happy the whole ride home.
    I forgot how good my car drives. It was a pleasure. The purple seat and back cushions did help. It ain't anything like driving no truck, that's for sure.
    People in the neighborhood talked about hail and damage couple months ago. I haven't seen anything. Yet.... some hail damage is pretty petty. I'll take a better look tomorrow.

    Mine will now get out of the truck, and walk into the house.
    Problem is, now they think everytime we stop, well a lot of the times, we're home.
    When I can get them to get in the truck, I'm calling an animal program for filming.

    I was looking for the Jake brake in my Camaro the other day lulz.

    Ya know my Corolla has an engine brake. No kidding. It's a righteous truck drivers car.
    That and even Consumer Reports says: It's the nicest driving car in it's class by a long shot. Almost as nice as a Camry.
     
    SingingWolf Thanks this.

    Did you try to float the gears in your Camaro?
