A Newbie's Observations on the Road

Except for your number three (about number one and number two), I can pretty much agree with what you have to say. I have never found it neeeded to use a bottle. If I don't have the time to stop and use a bathroom somewhere, then i am doing something wrong. Once in a while in a morning, If i am parked way at the back of a dirt parking area, it is possible that I will use the boys room located directly behnd the truck. But I never fill a jug and carry it with me in the truck. That is one habit I will never have.

Glad you are enjoying it. hope all continues well for you.

 

YOU'VE done so well my FRIEND!

 

AGAIN!! Keelady on that number 3.....AWESOME!!!! ON the he's trainable aspect! LOL!

 

About getting sleepy: that's absolutely correct - get something to chew on, as harder it is as better it wakes you up. It sure does not substitute a good night sleep, but it helps if it’s just monotone driving for hours. Jerky works well for me (if it’s taught enough).

 

its called something like "differential materials" between blacktop and concrete, or blacktop and steel (expansion joints) and the temperature changes. each product expands/contracts at different rates according to the temps. when this happens, there can be a "protrusion" at the joining surfaces.

i never heard of "circus peanuts"..........to me, a peanut is a peanut is a peanut..........what in the world is the difference in a so-called circus peanut.........??

yep, and sometimes i sing "Born Free, as free as the wind blows".......when i'm doing my thing at the side of the road. and you really don't need to "hold it in" till you get to a "facility" either..........just pull over, drop-trou, and "sing along" like anyone else..........:smt044

true, at times. just some guy(s) tired or bored, eveen two drivers from the same company, or tw or more friends running together down the road.

maybe, but don't "expect" it back, cuz it just don't happen that way in this world.

this is a practice that if YOU ARE DOING, STOP IT.........you need your eyes on the road. if you swerve or crash, expect someone to find out what you were doing befoe the crash. laptops have memory, qualcomm has memory, On Board Recorders have memory........

there, you see, go back to number 6, as this applies here as well.....right........??

take your breaks when they are due. take your time off at home when they are due. eat right, try to get some walking (exercise), and be safe out there. and stay off that laptop while driving.............(you bascially admitted you use one while driving.!!)

 

oh, ok.............circus peanuts. i found them.

must be incredibly high in sugars/calories.

what a way to put on the pounds...........!!!!!!!!

 

I dont think she meant that she was using the laptop while SHE was driving. I assumed she was using it while riding in the copilot seat or in the back. :smt039
