    Welp just got home. Saw a FedWrex truck parked along a ramp with the hazards on, meat wagon was parked beside him, flashers on, they were loading him up. Least he got it parked on an exit safely! In today’s saga of irritable loader operator, starting when he thought of it, “No more than 1 truck unloading at a time!” :confused: Ok, well, there are how many of us hauling from like 8 locations, in several time zones, and we have to somehow coordinate when we get there so that doesn’t happen? Yep, don’t load so close together! Ok, uhh, we don’t make the load schedule! Then don’t drive so fast if the truck in front of you just left! Duh

    THE TRUCK HAS STOPPED!!!!!

    Stopped for an indigenous 30 at an indigenous Loves.

    We've cleared Gem City and The Mega Indigenous Population Center West of it.

    The OM is thinking sausage McMuffin and coffee.

    Came up behind a super ego truck this morning that was driving about 15 mph below the speed limit. He was weaving badly all over the road, I followed him for a bit, and then decided to get around. Looked in his window as I went by, And he had the dome light on, and he was leaning back into the sleeper, looked he was digging in the refrigerator. :rolleyes:

    Probably be putting the skis up after this season. The popularity has taken away from the outdoors experience. Lots of out of control clowns,long lines,ect. I suspect 70-100 days a year for +50 yrs might play apart.

    Well, you ain't getting any younger and broken bones tend to heal at a different rate when you get older......more expensive as well. I've taken on the Clint Eastwood philosophy, "A man's gotta know his own limitations". Therefore, ladders of any size or height are a nay nay to me. And it's not just because I'm lazy, (although that's part of the reason). Falling off a ladder at 20 is really kinda fun. Falling off a ladder at 65 is painful in many more ways than one would imagine.
    Know your own limitations and lazy up!

    As long as you land on your head, it will be impossible for you to sustain injury.
