Millis OTR journal

Got the best phone call I've had in quite some time this morning. My new company called me this morning to let me know I was approved to run. And so the next chapter begins. Cheers y'all.

 

Deere?

 

Gonna out myself as a true redneck. My uncle raised veal. Those calf feed loads were a very familiar smell. It smells good for a reason. It's a milkshake for cows. It tastes every bit as good as it smells. Tried some once before it was served to the cattle. No joke, they could sell it to the public and people would buy it. It's pretty awesome.

 

Had my Jerry Maguire moment today. That scene at the end of the movie where Tom Cruise pours his heart out to Renee Zellweger. It wasn't MY moment, it was OUR moment. And it sucked because my wife wasn't here to share it with me. I would loved to have had a beer with her and @Suspect Zero , @Goobr54 , @FalconsFan21 and everyone else I met along the way. God dam man, today was a good day. I made it to the majors. I'm going to bed a very grateful trucker. I feel like somewhere along the lines something got scrambled in the universe's system. Somewhere out there is some guy who was supposed to get this, and I got it by accident. No matter how it came to be, thank you Millis. Couldn't be here in this moment without you.

 

It's awesome, right? The calf feed I would take after it was prepared as directed and mixed with water. Man that was good. Mixing it and then putting it in the freezer for a bit was the best. Oh, the life of a redneck. Gotta love it. I'm betting that calf feed and Kahlua in a blender with ice would be way better than a Mudslide.
