Been otr solo for almost 2 weeks, somethings I have learned

Sounds like your on the way to being a good driver. The only thing I can add is to have a system. If anyone starts talking to you then stop have the conversation then start where you left off. A system helps you preform your duties faster and safer.

 

Nothing wrong with a list either. Mental or written!

As long as it isn't like my wife's shopping list for the week.

Takes the time to make out the list.....then off to the store without taking the list........


What can I say....I drive a truck, not the shopping cart!

 

That is why I tell the wife, "text me whatever you want."

I am rarely without my phone!

You'll do well gravdgr. Not sure of your age, but by the beard I'd say you have a maturity level advantage over these younger ones. Always keep an open mind. You never stop learning. Actually this forum is a good learning tool. I've learned many things here.

I use to be an arcade junkie too when I was a kid. A roll of quarters and a five mile bike ride to the mall and I was in heaven. Asteroids and Defender was big back then. I always kept high score on Defender. I grew out of it eventially. Doom is the last one I remember conquering. I wouldn't mind buying another game system.

 

Mmmmm arcades... we used to get up at 8am on sunday and ride the bikes, also about 5 miles, to Peacocks Palace.

It was all you can play from 8am to noon for something like $5!!!!

When I was a kid we use to bang on a coffee lid w/ a stick.
Listen to this
Every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated
The boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And I pound on that drum like it was the boss's head

 

The big thing to learn is , good directions. Take the directions you get with a grain of salt and call ahead. Google earth is a good way to look at roads before you have to drive on them also.

 

I think there is a definite "theme" to your life!
