    If you can find a Denver Mattress. They’re selling them. You can go in and try all 5 out. Pick which works best for you. Like Goldilocks.
    Can order online. I suggest trying them out.
    Their customer service can’t follow directions. Wouldn’t address it to the right person at the terminal. Terminal people had to figure out who to give it to.
    Only ordered this one because Denver Mattress couldn’t get me this one before I left home time. I got the queen from Denver Mattress.

    Nice little place. Sharing space in big cold storage with others. Gal real nice. Said they could load me today. But need email from my dispatch. Ok.. meanwhile... a Supertrucker shows up. They came out to tell me which door. Supertrucker asks me to roll window down. Asks when is my appointment time. 3pm now... I said 4:30. But didn’t tell him it’s for 4:30 tomorrow. :laughing-guffaw:

    It worked great.
    Had cooked all four pieces of Tuscany chicken breasts from wallyworld.
    Couldn’t eat the fourth. So I put it in the freezer.
    Tonight I took it out. Put it in my lunch box. 2 hours later it was great to eat. Could have eaten it earlier.

    PURPLE. Great products. Haven’t bought the Queen mattress for the house yet, but sit on ULTIMATE Cushion and use the LUMBAR as well.

    Have their pillow in truck.

    Can’t wear them out. First one lived thru off-road oilfield four years. On the couch at home. New couch. But the cushion prevents my moving around from sitting in one place. ###### good products.

    I use a medical grade sheepskin over the seat cushions. Still allows cushion flex and adds yet more comfort.

    Backing into a parking spot.
    I get it just the way I want it.
    Tight to corner bumper of sight truck. With tandems centered right there. Just need to come around into the spot is all. I can see the tight.. no problem.
    Just need to get out and check blind side make sure it’s ok.
    Here this guy on sight side has a fit. I tell him I want it that way. All I’m worried about is blind side. He calms down. I feel sorry for him. Any good experienced driver looking at that thinks: perfect angles... got it...
    But not him. He’s driving an international. Probably don’t know nothing.
    EDIT: Just bothered to comprehend. The guy is a tanker driver. You all know about tanker drivers and backing from me. He definitely don’t know nothing on backing.

    Couple runs back. I dropped at an awful place in Chicago. This was close enough in to see downtown.
    Every last person here was warped. Nothing but contentiousness, strife, and conflict, coming from their hearts. It was awful there. They could not humble themselves and be the slightest bit constructive. Any chance to ignore reality. Freak out to spread destruction. They all did it. Constant error. Constantly creating conflict. Constantly trying to gain power over others. Locked in their own hell.
    Felt like screaming at them that Jesus Christ is innocent! And you! Are exactly what crucified him!

    God is merciful. When you're bound for hell, He lets you see an unmistakable sample of where you're headed...and so many people choose to keep on that road anyway. :(
