    Flash, you are one sick puppy. I think about it, but sure don't dream about it. Enjoy your vacation and your Thanksgiving, and I will dream about being home!

    At 7pm, last night, a lady named Jillian called me from Olathe dispatch and said my load is ready. Told her I would get it when my 10 was up as I was two hours into my break and exhausted from fighting with my last trailer trying to break it loose. Only had one hour left on my 14 and brutal cold with the wind out here. Well times up. Time to go get it and head for Dallas (Quality Sausage). Deuces.

    Flawless MALE LOGIC.

    Woman:
    Do you drink beer?

    Man:
    Yes

    Woman:
    How many beers a day?

    Man:
    Usually about 3

    Woman:
    How much do you pay per beer?

    Man:
    $5.00 which includes a tip
    (This is where it gets scary !)

    Woman:
    And how long have you been drinking?

    Man:
    About 20 years, I suppose

    Woman:
    So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450. In one year, it would be approximately $5400 correct?

    Man:
    Correct

    Woman:
    If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past
    20 years puts your spending at $108,000, correct?

    Man:
    Correct

    Woman:
    Do you know that if you didn't drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?

    Man:
    Do you drink beer?

    Woman:
    No

    Man:
    Where's your Ferrari?

    I think anyone who has ever lived in or had to work in snow thinks its a bad word. It gained bad word status for me when I had to start shoveling it when I was growing up which is why I am glad my parents moved so I didn't have to do it long.
     
    gntorres61, wulfman75 and dennisroc Thank this.

    Yeah, I dream about it sometimes. When I first started driving, it used to be like nightmares, going too fast into a mountain curve in Pennsylvania, no way I was going to make it. The yellow curve signs getting bigger and bigger in my face. Dreamt that high winds rolled over my tuck and ejected me onto the highway. Woke up rolling around in the bunk.

    I still dream about it sometimes, but now it is the more mundane stuff like checking into a receiver and someone being a D-bag about it.

    Yeah finishing up my last stop in Jersey now. All is quiet but I have only been in areas where you would expect quiet.

    Have a new preplan going to Oklahoma. It is a good plan with good miles but it will take me through St. Louis, likely on Thanksgiving Day so I don't expect there to be problems on that day.

    I dream a lot about airplanes , some really good and some crazy !!!

    I had a dream about getting a truck and the wife and I were ready for our OTR experience. When we were going to pick up our first truck we were hoping for a nice ride but it turned out to be an old piece of Junk !
    The seats had a metal frame with what looked like couch cushions to sit on , it was red and all metal on the inside ,no insulation really loud and the sleeper was for one person.
    Glsd it was just a dream , we were not to happy , haha
