Wow, almost a whole month has gone by since Ive really been on here. So much has been going on, Ive rarely had time for anything. I stopped getting WiFi while out on the road so I could save up my money to get a house. Well, last weekend everything came together and I now have my own place. A little 2 bedroom, 2 bath...

So today I had an attack of nostalgia and I went looking through the thousands of pictures that my mother saved through the past 30 years. And I gotta say what a trip it was. Its really wild looking through old photos and seeing the way you dressed or had your hair, the goofy faces you make and the like.
Maybe I'll upload some later.....they...

How have you been?
Nothing really new to update.....Im back in Walcott, IA for the night.
But I would like to say, it really sucks big time when your ex invades your dreams. And it was an invasion, cause I didnt want her there, lol.
Hope everyone had a good hump day.

Well I decided to be lazy today and I just drove up to South Beloit, IL.
My day has been pretty uneventful, so I have nothing else to say. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

You are officially awarded 10 cool points. I just rediscovered that movie the other day. Good times.
Oh and you might even get more cool points for knowing which part of Moulin Rouge I was referring to haha

Oh I meant being able to guess the video without watching it haha.
Well back in Brookville, PA tonight. The snow and ice are really bad and I decided that since my trailer was fishtailing and I kept loosing traction on my axles, it was a good place to call it a night.
I also saw 5 accidents in about a 20 mile stretch of I-80 up here.....2 big trucks and 3 4-wheelers, so that was also my...

Thanks for the comment.
It's best to play it safe in the snow and ice. You'll get there when you get there. And this is coming from someone who takes a lot of deliveries all over the east coast, as I'm the one usually waiting for the truck drivers. But I'll wait if it means the driver arrived safely.
The six-pack thing is just a bunch a single bottles of beer on a shelf from all different breweries, and you get to choose which ones you want to make up your individualized six-pack. It's pretty cool.

How often are actually home? I would love to do that, but I don't know. I like being alone, so I don't really think I would get lonely. The money is good, isn't it?
niobe:
That's cool. Here we have Schneider. Everyone works for them or everyone wants to work for them. I would look so silly driving a big truck but for that reason alone I think I should.
Sooooo, its Saturday night, Im bored out of my mind sitting in my truck, and I just realized, its fricking pouring down outside. So I look out my window, and the damn parking lot here is completley flooded, which really stinks cause I was wanting to go inside and get a soda or something. And Im not going out in that mess, so water to...
