WARNING DO NOT BLOG WHILE TAKING THIS MEDICATION

Alright I've received a couple of calls, and yes I'm fine. This morning while down in Long Beach, CA. getting a load of Bull Meat for Odessa, Tx tomorrow, I had to stand outside the truck in the cool breeze off the ocean, and it must have given me a little head cold of some sort. So When I got in the truck I took some cold medication found in my medicine cabinet. That's pretty much all I remember, except for the fact I do remember getting my computer out.
So now I'm thinking clearer after sleeping it off.
O.K. Ho's it's back to the road and another lesson from your Good Buddy "Tugboat".
Alot of you new truckers don't know this but, the majority of trucks out on the road are governed to only drive so fast. The biggest percentage of them go less the 70 mph.
Their are very few company trucks that will run past 68 mph. If you do happen to get your doors blown off (passed quickly), it's most likely an O/O. (owner/operator, they own the truck). So remember that, if you happen to be in your 4 wheeler (car/pickup, anything with 4 wheels on the highway), and you get behind a truck that's trying desperately to get past Aunt Phoebe-Joe, out on her yearly run to the Annual Greater Secondary Full Gospel Emmanuel of Christ Choir Singoff in her 1974 BabyShit Green Dodge Duster. As a driver I try to stay away from older drivers because I know they are terrified of big trucks, and have a tendency to get wormy when you pass them.
Myself, I have fallen victim of a slow truck out in the hammer lane (fast lane, left lane) but you know the thing, all men have to be first. Some of our good buddies out here are real jackasses, but on the other hand there are still some very upstanding Truckers that are always thinking of the Average Joe who don't understand the dynamics of hauling 40 tons down the highway safely.
Now you know if you see a slow ho, they are probably peddling(driving) as fast as they can.

One more thing, in my last past I wrote about hitting a ho and losing a hubcap. Maybe if I had typed, I hit a hole and all my hubcaps came off, it would have been funnier, not everything works. right?

I've learned a lot in the last few years. One thing is my ability to keep moving forward regardless of what's happening around me.  My sister is terminal, a lifer.   She's now 46 and her youngest just turned 10.  6 years ago it was breast cancer and  lymph nodes. We had hoped it was all behind us but this was a hope we only wished for.  MD Anderson said two years.  I remain calm and steady, on the outside.  Inside I'm a flying superman with a wicked cape that doesn't keep me at a level altitude. I die with every bit of turbulence.  I will never breath a word of this to anyone, my mad ride in my head.  My Facebook post are generic.  This will now be my place to let it go. All of it.  Bill will never understand my thoughts on any of this. He's never even lost a parent. He still lives in the innocent world that everybody lives forever.  Sure people have survived this. Bob lost his sister and I read every post of his. It broke my h...

HOWDY!!

Is anybody out there???? Everyone has left the blogs for facebook, including me. Well I'm back for at least this post. I'm no longer driving a truck. Bill and I live in Monte Vista, a historic district within the city limits of San Antonio, Texas. Number 9 has moved to the Houston Area along with all her kids in tow. Texas was where we grew up and it appears we left for all the right reasons. Getting back to the neanderthal ways of life are a huge adjustment but trust me, I'm having a much easier time than #9. She has been bombarded by southern Baptist at every turn and it has been a trying time for her to readjust. Back in June I was hurt on the job in Ohio and required a 10 day hospital stay followed by several months of therapy. I'm just now almost back at where I began and hopefully by the middle of the new year, I'll be good as new again. Why the move??several. But the most important one?  well #9 went for her three month check up in Las Vegas back in ...

Oh gawd, What a week already. I did some things around the house but sleeping has become the norm, when I'm not eating. So. On the 26th, it will be one year since #9 shot across the sky in rocking light of fire. It was Friday, just about noon on that day when I whispered in her ear and ask if this was it. She said three words. I love you. Gone like that. On Friday that week she was in Phoenix at the Cancer Center of America. Walking, Talking and doing her thing. Although the news was shitty as hell and they said she would be needing to check in to hospice centers back in Texas, she walked to the airplane, flew back to Texas and walked to her car at the airport. She was a tough old broad as Mom would say. She called me on her journey home to tell me the news and what they had advised her to do. It was a tough talk but we had it. I drove over to see her for the weekend and knew when I left Sunday I would be back on Wednesday, which i did. When I got there Tuesday she was in...
