    I guess if you absolutely have to go back to work, that's not a bad way to do it!

    Turbo and all still doing well!

    Final morning thought - watching local news here, Knoxville, TN.

    Big story is weather.

    OMG - close all the schools. Yup - the whole lot.

    Who’s got the supply of sleds?

    Great - we’ve been waiting for a snow day. How to check out a babysitter online.

    AKA - an excuse to take the day off.

    For all that we all do out here to get the job done - it’s near disgusting to watch these pansies fluster about a dusting of snow.

    Leading travel tip ? Yeah - keep your bloody phone charged.Way to encourage them.

    Advertising breaks? Filled with truck accident lawyers and diabetes medicine ads, some preacher and pillows that are chunked foam.

    F these people. Must need sleep.

    2 tablets in the morning will have you super trucking till 5pm.

    I’m hacking up the last of that crud as we type.

    It’s a blood vessel opener - the reason the meth cooks like it, and us normal folks have to pay for it.
