    Im about sick of San Antonio and the traffic. Traffic sucks everywhere, but the lay out of the city to get from one side to the other just sucks. Cant move because my stepdaughter is about to start 6th grade and for some reason having her go to school where we live is a big deal.

    You can't even get in it, can you? So does size even matter.

    I’m envisioning a whole new business of drive through coffee kiosks for truckers. So it’s all tall enough so they can hand you the coffee, and with enough space so three 70’ can line up at a time. They’ll have two kinds of coffee: Dave and Otter. Dave’s will be $0.89 and Otters will by $3.95. They’ll also sell wet wipes and bottled water.

    Made it to Miami. I am sooooo ####ing tired....I know I'm being a whiney baby but......ughhhhh. if I'm going to to this linehaul thing on the regular I gotta adapt. I can run 12 hrs everyday on a delivery route and be fine but I am just drained. When I fueled up at loves I was in line and snaked around a dude sitting not paying attention and when I got to the pump the rear trailer was crooked, not really blocking the next pump but if someone wanted to ##### they could. I moved before I fueled bit I thought it was funny that it unintentionally happened. Didn't see any chicken bones at the island but I did see plenty of empty Doritos bags and those lil paper holders for hot dogs lol. Taking my 30 now, then I'm going to build a set and hopefully head back to Tampa to get some sleep.

    I don't know if it matters at all. I have a very average deck but it is made of brick and concrete.

    They filled it up with gravel so the concrete would have a place to sit.

    My family lives in New Braunfels. I enjoy luckenbach, the Salt Lick, and most especially Gruene Hall. They vacation in the panhandle of fla. Lol. You have been invaded. I don't even go back anymore. Last time I was there i almost got in a fight with a douche from Cali at the gas pumps at Buckeys.

    Sleep.

    When you get your eating in the mawning or in the night, make it a big fat meal that you like. A little of this and that. Eat hearty. Nap until sunrise. you are going to find that if the food is a correct mix and so on you will run 1000 miles without being tired.

    Protien is key, meat items so to speak quality meat items, not crappy deli lunch cut.

    A little later on add some bread and a little potato for carb. If protien is the gas tank for battle and lifting angry dispatchers out of chairs... the right carbs will have you continue to do so all day if need be.

    Hydrate good clear fluids, not sugar.

    Now that Ive talked a bit about food, I dream of taking out a deer in the forest for that skillet of venison. After cooked properly and enjoyed with thanks for the deer's life you will find that winter cold and blast dont matter. Nor does long runs into difficult places.
