    I've had almost the opposite problem of can't get a coffee cause the crew is too busy putting the donuts in the case rather than starting the coffee.

    Didn't help that the Petro it was housed in was drained of coffee also. Just said F! this and grabbed a coffee from the gas station across the street to get me down the road.

    I have found neither the coffee nor the donuts to be worth a wait in line.

    That Looks Nice.

    Drivers Still Using The "Gotta Go And Make A Pick Up or Delivery"
    Despite Road/Weather Conditions/Warnings/Realities.

    There Has Never Been Nor Shall There Ever Be A Load So Hot That Needs:
    To Cool Off In A Ditch....
    Inverted....
    On Fire....
    Under Water....
    Off A Side Of A Mountain....
    Under A Low Overpass....
    Redirected By A Locomotive (Train)....
    Engine Seized From Faulty Oil Change....
    5th Wheel Collapse....

    The Above Does Not Include Drivers Instituting/Initiating:
    Eating and/or Reading and/or Writing While Driving....
    Sez While Driving....
    Nodding Off....
    Cleaning Cab....
    Arguing With Co-Driver or Self From Loud Auditory Hallucinations....
    Other Private, Major, General Distractions.

    In The Event of Internal Body Conflagrations, Some Of The Above Would Verily Be Relatively Contraindicated, Yet Not Always, In Every Instance, On Every Road.

    So "What If It Snows"??

    Fully agree, right when we went back in the teens our furnace puked the blower motor so we are using electric heaters and they're losing ground...can't wait for Friday (parts)

    Yep... it’s still ice.
    Nope it hasn’t quit sleeting.
    We are relaxing, not being stressed, I hear stress is bad, who knew?
    Made Chili and then boiled some hotdogs for chili dogs too, was told, “to much cayenne pepper.”
    I just came back with a simple reply, “well when you fix yours, fix it your way, if you eat mine, you eat it my way, this isn’t Burger King.”

    But I did not say it in a upset tone, and everyone ate it, so it couldn’t have been all bad.
    Anyway on to Comedy..?
    Oh, and speaking of burger places, “I’ll be Burger King and you’ll be McDonald’s. I’ll have it my way and you’ll be lovin’ it.”

    Isn’t funny, so says the ole lady...

    Why Knot?
    One Can Get A Cup Of Squeezed Bean Juice In Yer Own Container.
    One Can Go To "The House Of Pancakes" And Get Scrambled Eggs & Some Secret Ingredients W/O Pancakes.
    One Can Go To Truck Tire/Engine Repair Shops For An "Estimate" and Grab Some Of Their Gooey, Stale, Jacked Up Or Weak Non Trucker Coffee.
    Ever Been To A Massage Parlor Just 4 A Massage? I Went For The Aromatic Herb Coffee.
    It Was Stimulating Yet I Didn't Take Away Any Later Discovered Irritation.
    Later Discovered "Irritations" Were Frum Truck Slop Shower Facilities Until The Advent Of Uzing Disposable Shower Shoes.
    You've Been In Many Truck Stops Where You, Maybe, Purchased a Pack Of Non Dunking Doughnuts?
    Remember To Wrap Your Shoes In Plastic Bags When Crossing Truck Slop Lots So As To Prevent Contaminating Your Truck, Car, Home.

    Less On This Later.
    Adieu.

    North Texas was a little bit of a #### show today. 28 degrees and a gentle tain. Road surfaces warm enough but boy the overpasses where fd up. Got off 30 on a surface road to head south and it was backed WTF up. Turns out cars couldn't make it up and over the overpass crossing over 30. There was a Whataburger next to me so I pulled on the shoulder waiting for the malay to subside. Never been to a Whataburger. Got two double Whataburgers for sixteen dollars. Thought I got screwed but when he handed me the bag it was like 3 pounds. Eased my way on down to Waco a happy camper. It's the little things in life.

    Lmao. No. Have one for tomorrow now. Almost did though. First time there. Couldn't decide between a triple or double so I split the difference and got two doubles. Very pleased.
