    Waking up in a different city or state everyday.

    Seeing all the farm ponds I wish I could sneak into.

    The windmills on 65 in IN.

    Seeing Grand Ol Opry on the Briley in Nashville.

    Watching the sun rise from my windshield.

    #### I miss the road at times.

    Op. Why don't you go out on the road? There's not one person in this industry that doesn't benefit from some windshield exposure.

    I have a child and also, I don't think I have the temperament for it. I'd probably go postal in a week, if that. :p

    I'll go with the adventure. I have OTR in the blood.

    And yeah, there's not much to match the comfort of waking up to the churning of that DD15, nice and toasty, while it's -9 outside. Especially when my partner comes along.
     
    BiH and reverber8 Thank this.
