Between crappy weather and running my but off, I havent had time to do much with my laptop. When my days off came along, the wife had a mile long honey do list for me. Now Im back to work and the weather is even worse. Whatever happened to springtime? In Nevada, the roses are starting to bloom, but everywhere east is cold, snowing, raining, and like like winter forgot to leave. I think Obummer and Gore found a way to screw with the weather. They think trucks make too much pollution. I think theyre the polluters and oughta shut up.
Some people call the stimulus package "porkulus" but I like scamulus better. Its so full of crap it stinks. A buddy of mine told me yesterday that one of the pet projects in it is to screw with truckers. Again.
We dont get much exercize and seldom have a chance to eat right, running our butts off so everyone else has food on the store shelves, and now the almighty government wants to be in charge of what we weigh. Theyll pull the medical cards of any driver with more than 40% body fat. So only skinny people can drive the trucks that bring them every damn thing they have! I aint fat, but some of my friends are and they drive as good as I do. A couple of them have dibetes and some of them have back trouble. They drive just fine.
The government tried to make us all quit smoking in our trucks. They tell us how old or how young we have to be. They make us get physicals, usually from quacks who dont give a damn. Now they want to tell us what we can weigh. Maybe next theyll be telling us what kind of clothes we can wear.
The government needs to mind its own damn business and get out of my tractor. If all the trucks shut down for 3 days, the whole country would come to a stop. Maybe thats what itll take to teach them a lesson.
President Obummer seems to think hes God or something. Thats what a messia is, isnt it? If thats the case, we should all ask him to fix glbull warming, right? Or maybe he already has, Im freezing my ass off. As much as I want to get home for my days off, I aint putting on chains!
Im not much of a believer in ground hogs predicting the weather, but I sure wish he said spring was coming right away. Only 4 more weeks of all this fun to go. At least the wife wont have much for me to do outside when I get home. Maybe Ill just get to watch ESPN and stay warm.
Im sitting by the road, waiting for the Wyoming wind to slow down enough for them to open the road. The truck stop is close enough I can see it, but it was full when I got here so the roadside is where Ill be sitting til they open it again. I hate ground blizzards. Blue sky above and nothing but white below. My truck is rocking in the wind. Im really getting sick of winter.
On the good side I got to stop by the house for a few hours last weekend. My new glasses came in and now I can see everything without a magnifying glass. Man, my truck is really dirty! LOL

Im about sick of winter already. My heater doesnt do much good on the floor and once my feet get cold, they stay that way for hours. The wife said I should get a hot pad with an adapter so I could plug it into the lighter. She may be right. Ill see if I can find one.
Martin Luther King Day is Monday and Obama moves into the white house on Tuesday. I wonder what MLK would think about that? He was pretty big on character as I recall. Hed be sadly disappointed in the first black president

Christmas was great, expensive and tiring. New Years Eve I was in the truck when I could of been home. I was supposed to pick up my load and be on my way that morning. The reefer didnt work, so I got aimed for a repair shop. Shouldnt have taken but a few minutes to fix, but they never did. Couldnt figure out what was wrong. By the time I got to leave, someone else had got my load and I had to swap trailers. By then it was New Years day and nothing was being loaded anywhere, so I got to sit in this crappy truck stop just a little too far from home to get back for the day.
When I take 3 days off every month its easier to go back to work than when I get a week off. Its getting harder and harder to go back to the road. Either it isnt as much fun as it used to be or Im just getting old. What Id really like is a job that gets me home every weekend. but I keep threatening to quit and havent yet

Been running my ass off lately. Im at the shopp in Iowa right now, waiting to get my oil changed. Maybe the boss learned something about maintenance. Ill be leaving as soon as they get done and heading back to the west coast again. Right through a big fat storm. In Calif. itll probably be a solid wall of fog. At least I dont have the everlasting ding ding ding going on anymore. That would have made winter even more fun, NOT.
I bought some designer barbecue sauces for my son-in-law and dropped the damn thing. Broke all over the place. Now I get to try to find another set for him. Christmas is a pain in the neck, but the wife would never forgive me if I didnt do a little shopping. Ill be going hom in about two weeks or a little less, so thatll be good

Thanksgiving was great. I ate too much as usual. Spent several nites in my own bed. Now Im back on the road and waiting for a load. I still dont get to know where it goes til Im halfway there. Talked to the wife this mornning and shes putting the tree up. Its a fake tree that we got a few years ago. I hate decorating fake trees, but she likes it so she does it every year. I wont get home again til Xmas eve. She says shes gonna get the lites up, too cause the neighbors have theres up and she loves the lites and decorations. I think its her favorite time of year. I liked it when the kids were little but its not a big deal to me anymore. Shes like a little kid herself at Xmas, baking, decorating and wrapping presents. Its more fun to hear about how much fun shes having than having to do it myself.
I havent felt much like blogging lately. Bad cold, running my butt off. Sick of my boss. The usual. LOL Had to jam on my brakes last week and dumped the laptop on the floorboard. Took a bunch of duck tape to fix the cover. But it took awhile before I could get the duck tape. By then the battery was dead.
Some idiot with an Obama sticker on his bumper (maybe he hasn't heard the elections over) cut me off and damn near left me in a ditch. Been a rough couple of weeks

This sucks so bad. How could anyone vote for a piece of shit like him? He shouldnt run a damn Taco Bell for shit sakes. He isnt up to trying to run a whole country. All those stupid promises he made, he cant keep. At least I hope he cant. My taxes will be going up and it wont even pay me to work anymore. Where the hell is Ronald Reagan when we need him? Dead, just like our economy will soon be.
