evening ladies and germs
hope all are in good heath and tranquil states of mind.
I'M dealing with a measure of vexation myself. I splurged and spent 25 bucks for a month of siricomm access and it's being pretty crappy connection at least right here and now.
I ran pretty hard yesterday, about 550 miles or so from san antonio to halfway between texarkana and little rock. lightly bumped another truck last night trying to park but the other guy didn't seem to notice and It didn't hurt either truck that I could see so i just let the incident go unmentioned, except here. but anyway the load doesn't need to be delivered until a day and a half a later than i had initially thought, and if i had read my delivery instructions more carefully i could have taken another day to spend in san antonio. it's not necessarily bad to have goof off weekend, but i've done a lot of waiting around lately. I guess i need to be more on top of what's going on, to not miss opportunities. this is certainly the flattest palce i've ever taken a bike ride. its real hot and sunny out but at least the thunerstormy clouds are looking to have passed by.
nothing for it now I spose. I don't think I've wandered around the missouri countryside too much so I'll go for a bike ride after surfing here a bit more. i'm pretty raunchy now that hot weather is here and i've been in texas where there's an icky grey haze sitting over most of the state. truck stops give you a free shower when you buy 50 gal or more of fuel and since i fueled at the swift terminal in laredo i lost a free shower. if I pay seven or nine bucks for one that's an hour of driving or therabouts, after taxes. another reason to become an owner op when the opportunity rolls around, just fuel up every day and get a shower. there's no laundry at this loves but I'd imagine they have it at the flying j next door.
two nights ago at the san antonio truck stop there was a friendly video on a monitor explaining that truck drivers have 10 to 15 years less life expectancy than the general population. yay. it popinted out that they remain seated for real long periods, they smoke and eat a lot of cholesterol. at least I don't smoke, and i have that bike on my truck. i had lunch at the chester chicken here just now, I had resolved not to eat the breading, as it is delicious but is a lethal cholesterol cocktail. i proceeded to devour the breading. the potato wedges look like they'd be similarly tasty but are nearly tasteless.
thinking about my mind and my life quite a bit of late, as usual. i think right now that the healthiest attitude to have toward this trucking thing is that it's like having joined the army. I'll travel around for a couple of years and come back with some stories and then move on. maybe teach english in japan if i hadn't mentioned that before. if you still can do that.
plans and objectives, cans and cannots are all attachments, projections, being is just right here. if you got skinny legs like mine you can drive a truck in the lotus position, if you didn't know that.
well, whatever.
