    Ok first, TAPete, nope, my dad was 72, when he passed away a few years ago. Also I can say up until he reached 50, he was not scared of hard work. However after that he went to crap. He is a motivating factor, I don't want to end up like him, very sedentary, and well, morbidly obese.

    While tugging a rock bucket is more physical than a box, it's still not nearly as physical as flatbed.

    Well today it was 2 rounds to Newton hauling Man-Sand. Guess what happened today?...........

    NOTHING!!!

    Yep, nothing unusual. Made it back to pre-load rock to take to Great Bend in the morning..

    Didn't leave the hotel room today.... Sunny and nice outside but I wasn't very ambitious to go anywhere... and then... where? Had no ideas... Was planning on sleeping 8 hrs but cleaning lady knocked on my door at 8:30 this morning.... only 6 hrs after I went to bed... :biggrin_25510: Told her, the place is still pretty clean (I am very neat)... don't need any cleaning... and went back to bed. Took a nap after lunch today.... Maybe I find a meeting to go this evening... so I can get to see people and talk to people before I go back on the road and the solitude of the truck.... well... I like solitude.... and that's why I am a OTR truck driver! :yes2557:
