    I feel bad for the trucker in the video. The one in the background is Black KW so can't be Blair's.

    Well I guess we’re doing this again.

    His older sister from another mother has been missing him too. It’s odd to watch his arch nemesis mourn.

    Miss the hell out of my friend.

    Arrived at midnight, generator wouldn’t start.

    Up at 0800, two other drivers that I’m supposed to help. Longer story.

    I90 shut down with a fatal wreck - Hartford, SD - as far as I got.

    Wrap started to disintegrate 15 miles out, crew came out to repair.

    Skid steer - didn’t they used to have 8 controls?

    No AC, no coffee, love my job.

    You'll get the wrinkles ironed out this first round. I hope it all goes well!

    Sorry - I won’t lie, it’s been a mission to drag myself out of a hole. There’s people that rely on me - my wife mainly.

    All I found was that if my mind was occupied, then it wouldn’t be inclined to regret, loss, guilt, and sorrow. And the hope that time would heal.

    I still struggle with the question of whether I’ve never actually loved anyone or thing, or whether he was a cumulative breakdown point.

    So let’s go and do dumb stuff in small spaces.

    I have found that the love for my animals is way more than almost any human I have had feelings for. Kind of sad in a lot of ways but they (animals) do not do bad things to a person. They love unconditionally and only want the same in return. Nothing else matters except a little food and water with attention.

    That was a good conversation I had with my daughter not long ago. We just started talking again a few months ago after 8 or so years. She mad a comment on how I posted pics on my dog that had passed and said that is all I ever post about. She was a little jealous since I never posted any memories of us together. Had to explain that to her and I doubt she understood. Ha ha oh well I guess most people can never understand that if they don't see the worst in humans everyday like I do.
