Warning about taking care of yourself while driving...

Now that's funny! My boss would love it! He'd call his daughter to come right down to the shop and see me. She is our office person...the whole office...the CEO. The offer to come back to work for him he made entirely open to me. He doesn't care if it's years from now. He'd welcome me anytime. BTW: I don't know how my boss does it. He does work on the trucks in the shop. He really moves. I can't believe all that he does. He's only ten years younger than myself.
I'm afraid driving is out for me. Even with my Imdur. That's a drug that helps keep my arteries open. When I exercise it always helps me. I feel better. Pretty much the Imdur has done away with any little pains in my chest here and there. But some days my heart will feel tight. Not bad. But tight. I go into rehab. After a half hour or more on that machine. Then dumbbells and stretching. My heart will feel good again. Then I gotta keep going to the Y and walk. I do a mile or more a day there, on crutches. So I'm pretty much addicted to exercise. I fear I can't handle sitting in a truck all day anymore. I don't think I could handle local driving either.
To supplement my income, I've asked at the truck stops if they'd want me behind the counter. They sure would, with me being a driver. Can relate to the drivers well. So we'll see a year from now. Then I'll become 67 and no BS with Social Security and working. They don't want to hear about it at that point. So I might see some of you guys when you're passing through here. We got Loves, FlyingJ, and Pilot.
I seriously feel for those people with massively swollen ankles. Their days are numbered.

 

He is a hell of a boss. He did what I call my run for 8 years before he expanded with three trucks doing this run all at the same time. These are Landstar loads. He hired me from here because everyone had to take a 34 here. He put an add on craigslist here. Common Horse Sense. The downfall was working for a very small company. You can imagine having to handle things. Be ready to handle a sudden change because we had to. Ok with me. We both had the same attitude. We were both from So. Cal. where to succeed you had to have the attitude of I don't care how many goof ups, just as long as the person is trying, is all that matters. Believe me, I had my share of goof ups. He's always trying. I was more of a hassle. Drivers from there in OH would drop their trucks off at the shop while they went home for a couple days. We did much work at the International Dealer here in Rapid. So I didn't have to wait even more at the shop in OH while he did work. There was still plenty we did to the truck in OH. I waited. Can you believe the service manager at International brought me my laptop in the hospital? I needed it to pay my bills and apply with social security. This is the kind of stuff that happens when everybody is working together. I always worked together. I could tell so many stories. One thing he likes about me was I had so much experience driving through Montana. Winter was no big deal most of the time. I had the wisdom. Knew when they forecast twenty something below. It would be thirty something below. No, I don't go there then. Boss agreed. I spent a weekend sitting in Portland because of that. I could go on and on and on.
He's my best, greatest boss. I know he's looking for someone as reliable, and agreeable as I am.
Alot of drivers are afraid to drive through Montana all winter. I know this part of the country and Montana. It's really no big deal. Alot of drivers didn't like driving 422 in Penn. We would cut straight across Penn. and paid zero tolls. I loved driving Penn. and paying no tolls. BTW: 422 passes right in front of the fairgrounds where they tried to murder Trump.

BTW: We used to sit in his shop in OH. We'd laugh about the politics in CA. Our idiot relatives there.
