    We started at 0400 and actually stopped a bit after 0600 for a mcmuffin and coffee.

    It was time for her shot, so we stopped again.

    About 50 or 60 miles up the highway there's a KFC. Which we would be awesome if we time it right, cause we'll be shutting down pretty early, and would have 11 herbs and spices that are finder licking good to gnaw on today.

    I just woke up at the tiny little truckstop I parked at 16 hours ago.

    I brought a load to a nearby receiver yesterday. This load was coming back to said receiver a second time, because the pump on this trailer quit on the other driver the first time.

    Pump was repaired and cleaned, and I, being in the "wrong place with available hours", brought the trailer back to the receiver for a second attempt.........

    And the pump promptly quit.

    I was out of time for the day, so I PC'd here and got a legit parking space. I give thanks for that, because otherwise I'da have to be a "creative parker", which offendeth me.

    About 3 hrs to the yard, and this place has Chester's chicken......life is good.

    Gotta get goin'.......coffee and chicken await!

    Washed the truck and trailer this morning. Was almost finished when it started raining. Will have to grease the unit tomorrow and check the fluid levels etc.
    Was working on a gravel road much of the week, sure was dusty. Came into the House to have a coffee and Wife looked at me out of nowhere and stated:
    You realize your absolutely no good in bed anymore! Worked 80 hrs this week and was tired last night. Showered and went to bed early. Not sure what I'm going to do. Another racket. Whoever stated in here that a Truck driver should be single sure knew what they was talking about.

    Brother in law went camping this weekend. Yes this is the same brother in law that tried to blow himself up with a can of gas two weekends ago with a burn pile. Well he tried yet again (his brrain isnt all there anymore aftter numerous strokes). It seems he blew up the new 28 foot camping trailer he had. We surmise he turned on the gas to cook something and forgot to light the burner. Then he went and laid down for a nap. He woke up and thought he would have a cigarrette.

    BLAMO!

    He is fine. We cant get rid of him that easily. Wife wants to see her father and we will find out how much hair he has left.

    Start taking vitamins supplements. A good quality one a day type to start.
    Thing about taking supplements, it can take up to 45 days to see any benefits from them.
