    Not just the bacon. These two locations have the heated red spicy sauce, sauteed onions and bell peppers.

    Oh God the humanity.

    Let me say I take zero pleasure or joy in having my seat used as a toilet.

    Spotting a fully fledged supertrucker in the wild is an amazing thing. Personally I’ve avoided the lunch counter like an Ebola ridden nation because of the ST’s. But to now have one in my truck is a learning experience. I can’t believe how easy it is for me to shut up. I’m like those kids in Jurassic Park afraid to move...

    I’m basically being held prisoner in my own tractor. He doesn’t stop talking. I was trying to sleep and told him so. That garnered me 5 minutes of quiet. Then it started again. Later I was talking to my wife about bills and had headphones on and he would just start talking to me about cell service. I’m literally telling him I’m on the phone and he keeps going.

    I think he has some self control issues, or doesn’t accept or respect my time or space.

    I believe he’s incredibly lonely, but I’m not the answer. I barely have time for my wife and son and they come first in everything.

    TTR is my one vice right now because it’s open 24/7 and I can ignore it or participate.

    This entire post above is therapeutic, for me. My sanity is being challenged after 24 hours that’s a record.

    I’d love some constructive ideas how to cope with this. He did 10 hours today. That means he has 230 hours left...

    And what's even worse is my delivery is at 0600 in Tucson. Hard appointment .

    So I can't get a to go box in Eloy before.

    Now maybe, with some luck, I'm empty by 0800, and can make it back there before they take down breakfast.

    He’s done 10 of 240.

    Yes updates will be coming since it will be my coping mechanism. If I told my wife she’d tell me to boot him. He has value, and deserves my best to get him graduated. I also need to survive and not be a shell of my former self drained of all life. The updates will continue as long as is needed.

    I remember him. I also really looked forward to Andy Rooney.

    I may take a few tomatoes and most the cherry tomatoes to work tommorow for the untomatoed.
    I won’t take any zucchini because you never want to be the zucchini guy

    I rode with the bi polar bull lesbo for a month.

    That lost her medical card the last week do to said bi polar disorder and wasn't even allowed to drive then.

    Just a happy passenger for 5 days.

    Best week of my life.
