    Wife loves her gardens and flower beds, and stuff to put in them. I found two cool water features that I am going to stop and buy her on the way home in a few days.
    She is going to be thrilled.

    I know you can break a beer bottle with your hands. Not quite an opening technique.

    Bic lighter over your index finger.
    And still no Baker Mayfield video.
    So disappointing

    I now see why so many people fail starting otr. I've been on the road since two o'clock yesterday and will likely be out until 3 am this morning and it beat me up. I like it so I'm not #####ing but it's worn me out to the point they gave me tomorrow off if I want it. Now if this is tiring me out like this (I'm in great shape, still a competitive athlete) I can't imagine being out of shape, getting used to being on the road AND having to get used to the truck because the only experience you have is with a trainer for a few weeks....that would probably be a lil overwhelming.

    Honestly, OTR is lots easier, in my opinion.
    Dallas to Atlanta, no big deal, just hold on to the steering wheel. 650 miles, not a problem.
    You're just running in a really congested area. You need an auto.

    It would have been so great to walk down to the mailbox with a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning and bring back the paper and sit and read it.
    I been here 6 or 7 weeks and they couldn’t find me.
    2 years ago when I gave up OTR it was the same problem, they couldn’t find my apartment for like a month.
    And as a bonus they’re part of USA Today and they got bought out today.
    It’s sad when there is nobody in this area to talk to.
    And I bet I spent 25 hours on the phone with those Indians and for nothing.
    One of the top reporters there I’ve been emailing trying to get help apologized today after I told him I gave up and said he tried to get me help but it just didn’t help.

    Coming down 75 thru Tampa and when I got into Miami a auto would actually have been nice with all of the stop and start. We have a few auto trucks I think, I haven't driven a auto in years. They were trash when I last drove one but I've heard they've gotten pretty good.

    It's rough when you're used to some things.
    You'd think delivering a ####### newspaper would be a pretty straightforward kinda thing.
    Life seems to be moving pretty fast in the wrong direction sometimes.

    Find a woman, Tucker. You won't have time for a newspaper.
