    It's so much fun though to slingshot a marble into a trailer park. Sounds like a gunshot when it hits that thin metal on a trailer. Lots of funny stuff happens after that.

    Love’s truck stop would let you use driver reward points to wash and dry clothes. It did not alway work since it required good working internet connection on the washer or dryers

    Planning for an inconvenience is prudent. Planning for the worst is a waste of time.

    No, because the worst would be if your second chute also failed and you fell to your death.
    Or you had a third and fourth chute, which also failed.

    The worst is the worst, and you are dead.
    Dead is dead, and no planning is needed.

    I like the way you think. We'd do that with dirt clods or oranges.
     
    Sons Hero and Chinatown Thank this.

    That's why when I was otr, I had a gas mask (jic around a chlorine tanker wreck) and after crossing that windy bridge up in md (I think it was md) headed towards nyc. I got myself a life preserver JIC. Yeah I know it might've happened so fast that I wouldnt be able to use it. But like momma always said its better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. And believe it or not there was a time frame out there when they said some biker was shooting truck drivers so when I got home I got one of those kevlar vests that you can wear under your shirt, and did wear it for awhile, but I don't see how they can do that every day cause the dang thing was too hot for me, only lasted about 3 days and that was it! LoL

    A credit card with no balance on it and a $5000 credit limit so when you're in Commiefornia and they fire you, you can get home to Portland, Maine.
