Where is everyone #5

Congratulations!!!

 

Parked for the night at the Billings, MT Pilot. Hate parking in truck stop lots especially when a refer backs in beside me. End to a pretty rough trip. Get to the drop off point, and the broker texts to tell me the location has changed to 10 miles down the road. Then I drag myself through downtown where I may or may not have rubbed a light pole around a corner I need a #### truckers map.

Hooked my trailer up yesterday after the weekend off, and a brake can decided to leak. Replaced that, and now I notice the truck has a grey haze coming out of the stacks at idle. No loss of power or coolant, so I guess it’s an injector going away. Have to get it through another week then visit a shop. May try to do it myself, but I worry about screwing up my money maker.

 

I got on Spirits about 20 years ago. Smoked them for a month, ran out(this was before they were popular), and bought a pack of Marbs...

Man, I felt like I'd been hit with Agent Orange, Yellow, Green and Purple. It tasted and felt like poison gas. I'm convinced that it isn't the tobacco you have to worry about--it's all the additives they put in regular cigs that gives you the cancer.

 

Smoking or tryin always hurt too bad lol. But I'm still guilty of a dip of Copenhagen on a long ride. Most times I loose the can before it's half empty lol. Never been much on energy drinks, learned to leave the soda and bears be once it starts easin into the late night. One these days I'm gonna strike it rich and quit all that.



Sent a friend of mine a picture of me holding the the new grandson other day. He fires right back with #### did you not have anything but a dirty ol Peterbilt hat? I bet you didn't even pull your pants over your boot tops. I thought bout that a minute before I told him well he just as well get used to it now, as later.

 

hey @wore out we are getting to old to change for anyone. they will have to accept us as we are.

I won't be wearing any track suits or fingerless gloves. I will be giving Ol' crazy Ivan a ration of #&#_# for wearing it.

been long day gonna hit the hay.

 

In Missoula, MT. Gonna try to push this bucket of bolts to Dickinson, ND tomorrow. There doesn’t appear to be much else after that for another 100 miles or so... will have to call it quits there I suppose. Don’t have a fast enough truck to make it to that hook in Mandan..

Figured if I can make Dickinson that leaves 700 or so miles to my delivery in Wisconsin. Should be alright.

She’s looking forward to some flat ground with the way I’ve been pushing today.

 

I knew cig's contained chemicals but I had no idea to what extent, when your a smoker who listens to common sense, lol.

What harmful chemicals does tobacco smoke contain?

Tobacco smoke contains many chemicals that are harmful to both smokers and nonsmokers. Breathing even a little tobacco smoke can be harmful (1-4).

Of the more than 7,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, at least 250 are known to be harmful, including hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, and ammonia (1, 2, 5).

Among the 250 known harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke, at least 69 can cause cancer. These cancer-causing chemicals include the following (1, 2, 5):

• Acetaldehyde
• Aromatic amines
• Arsenic
• Benzene
• Beryllium (a toxic metal)
• 1,3–Butadiene (a hazardous gas)
• Cadmium (a toxic metal)
• Chromium (a metallic element)
• Cumene
• Ethylene oxide
• Formaldehyde
• Nickel (a metallic element)
• Polonium-210 (a radioactive chemical element)
• Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
• Tobacco-specific nitrosamines
• Vinyl chloride

If your looking for pure smoke maybe you could carry firewood with you and inhale the smoke from a campfire, lol.

 

Just to let you know that certain type of Cobra has a tendency to stop working in a truck from bouncing around. It has a cpu board in it that goes bad, my friend is a cb repair guy and fixed several. Problem is the cpu board is $60, and you have to solder and unsolder a ridiculous amount of wires to fix it so the labor is high. When it starts acting crazy and changing colors on it’s own, not talking, not hearing, the board is shot.

 

Fairview, OK is the shut down spot. Starting a job west of Thomas in the morning, loading out of Enid.

I never did smoke, and I seldom drink anymore. I do like a dip of Copenhagen or Grizzly or Stokers to get me through the night though. I know it ain’t good for me, but it does keep me from snacking all the time out of sheer boredom. Lol.

@wore out how’s that youngin and mama doin?

 

He drives an automatic Volvo pay no attention to him.
