Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

yep,we have had plenty of the wet stuff,wheathauler.the wheat that is on heavy-clay soil is starting to look pale. does the winter wheat look like its hurting for moisture in your country ?

 

So you guy's can't find yeungling around there? I always assumed it was sold all around. what in the heck is sundrop?

 

Soda made of real sugar. I still want to try some ive had bottled dr pepper good stuff.

 

Ever try that pepsi or mt. dew throwbacks? They're both made of real sugar. I try not to drink alot of pop, but sometimes I give in.

 

Only one a day for me need to cut back. Don't even finish it anymore. I could finish a whole 12 pack by myself in one day. Burp all day. I replaced the coke with ice water.

 

Good for you, Luis - you'll have plenty of time to build a gut later in life. Soft drinks are called that because they make you soft in the middle - unless you can burn a pile of calories all day.

When I was a soldier I drank coffee til noon (2 pots or so), and then Mt. Dew until dinner (6 pack), and then switched to beer. I tried that later in life and got round in a hurry. Didn't find out that caffeine was good for minor aches and pain until 10 years later - maybe that's what it was.

You could always try drink mixes, that's what I do on the road. A case of bottled water, and a bag of drink flavor packets come in handy in a truck. The mix lasts forever, and the water can be used for other things - like brushing your teeth

 

what's this tooth brushing thing you speak of??

 

Yeah i had to cut down. Burping like i was in a contest. I think i wont build a gut i don't like beer. Drink mixies are something i should try especially out on the road. Stop get a soda or a monster if were doing the vampire thing. But the soda isn't good for me but water yes very good. Oh teeth brushing done that with a bottle of water before. Didn't feel right but better than the restrooms at the pisslot.

 

Can you really tell a difference between old style regular sugar pop and the high fructose corn syrup stuff of today? I drink Diet Coke now, whenever I go back and have a Pepsi, the sugar in it really has a kick.

Luis, do your posts over here in the hopper thread count against your daily 10? Don't worry, we won't tell Ken!

It snow flurried here most of the day, with about a 20 mph wind. Didn't accumulate much, but the roads had a film of snow on them. 2nd trip to the river, there were 3 vehicles in the ditch, one on its top. Don't think anyone was hurt. Spent about as much time sitting waiting on the barge to load and move as we did on the road today. Then late this afternoon, heard that one of the elevator's semi's ended up in the ditch. The driver wasn't hurt, no one else was involved, and it was one of their oldest trucks. Still hated to hear that.
