We showed 111 on our home thermometer today. Supposed to be as hot, or hotter for the next couple of days. (Still beets the 120's of Death Valley, I guess. Though when it is hot, it is hot...)
That just ain't right. Traffic cars should all have to be Black and White, just like God intended!![]()

They're easy to spot. They're the ones with the windows tinted to a level that's illegal for everybody else.
Lepton1 Thanks this. -
Yep, and the ones with a following distance of 0.0027 seconds while working on a computer and their cell phone pressed against their ear while eating a dozen Krispy Kreme's.Big Don Thanks this.

I was driving team up through there around that time. My cheap ads co driver parked the truck to take his 30 minute break and shut the effin truck leaving the Windows open an inch. I woke up 20 minutes after he stopped and thought I was going to die. I looked at the elog to see how long we had been sitting there that's how I know. It felt like 100 degrees. Felt like I was choking when I woke up.texasbbqbest Thanks this.

Hmmmm. You need a new co-driver first chance you get. That's just beyond inconsiderate. We've all been through the co-driver from hell. That's dangerous though. Good luck until you can get a better situation.
I went through a few week period a couple times that was beyond weird, just tough it out until you can get a better driver.mama_bear Thanks this. -
Yeah I ditched him and going solo for awhile or until I find someone "compatible" LoL whatever that means tee heeDave_in_AZ Thanks this.
-
You gotta have someone you really, really get along with to run team. Solo is much better.
-
Hmm...I have had a couple of co drivers that worked out very nicely actually so I can't complain. I never liked being on the road by myself...it's a lonely job. It's an adjustment. Takes a little getting use to.Dave_in_AZ Thanks this.

It's hard for me to sit still in this truck when it's not moving. I brought plenty of books to read and I have my laptop with some games but I can only do that for so long. I guess I just have to learn to live with myself...all by myself lol.
-
It can take some getting used to, but I'll bet that once you do get used to it, you won't be in a hurry to team again.
