    I write sad country music songs and sing the blues, then I get out and polish my tanks and wheels

    :biggrin_25523: Write them backwards and you will not be blue. You get the girl, the house and dog all back when you play a country song backwards.

    Healthy people are loving people & visa versa. As far as weight, about avg. 100 lbs. walking on your back and massaging the vertebra with those little toes.

    I was just going to start a thread on this topic.. Once I get out on the road, I will take my MTN bike with me so I can get my workouts in. Also plan to invest in some type of video game system. Don't have a clue as to what to get. Have to ask my Son what he has. Maybe take some more online classes, find ways to keep busy.

    I played alot of computer games. Read a ton. I had a few of those rubber workout bands that worked great. Did some TLC on the truck. Walked alot of miles. Kept up on my news. I tried to stay out of truckstops, even if I have to park at one. I get so tired of the negativity and all the same boring statements that seems to fill every conversation."My dispatcher told me this and I put him in his place!" Really? "That Bear told me to do this and I told Him where to go" Really? I had never tried to keep a bike with me. Thats sounds like a great Idea!

    i normally am scheduled pretty productively if you know what i mean, but when theres a lul in the work week i pull out my gaming laptop and my "mifi....?" (i think thats what its called) and play online games such as team fortress 2, counter-strike 1.6, and the big one... world of warcraft. sometimes right after parking i pull out my smart phone and look for whats around me and walk to it before i head back for a shower. like walk a mile or 0.5 miles to a in-n-out have dinner walk back take a shower. or i browse the internet on my hotspot. or watch a movie.
