Duck-walk it in duo-tempo to receiving. (the expression 'has got the trots' sums it up well)

So no one else uses the mind over matter trick?
And no one else realizes that nothing is actually cold?
Everything is warm, because absolute cold or hot can not be achieved.
It might be 10 F degrees when I venture out of the truck.
People are all bundled up in hat and gloves and big coat, while I am wearing jeans and a shirt. They look at me like I'm crazy, but I'm fine and warm.
Granted, I wear flannel lined jeans and shirt in those conditions. And going from the truck to the store and back doesn't leave me in those conditions for all that long.
Even so, sometimes I like to be a bit warmer in my bunk.
A good blanket and the bunk heater are all I usually need. If it gets too cool I will run the engine and use the heater.
And if it is really that 'cold' I will need to idle the truck to avoid fuel jelling.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
