I did during last winter when I came home from work after freezing outside all day. It was just hot Campbells Tomato soup. I didn't feel like cooking or doing anything. I didn't even grab a spoon and just drank it to warm up.

I really need to move south. I don't think I can take another winter here.
You think you've felt cold! You should try living here. It almost got down to 6C here last night.

My p**** was almost frozen solid, scratching at the door and shaking.

I think Bellybama live very South. So south he has to use invert Y-look for all his game.
 
Getting my CDL upgraded. Passed the boring exams to drive Tankers or Doubles/Triples.

Next working on HazMat then I can haul the scary loads.

Every time I buy something battery powered for outdoor use it barely lasts a year. I prefer inhaling gas fumes when I'm outside working.
 
I still think it's ridiculous I wound up as a truck driver thanks to the stupid Recession and I can't seem to get out of it. It is really mostly a redneck industry and I am a computer geek, but I went through the course and somehow have driven a 70 ft. vehicle without getting myself killed on the highway. I have had 2 close calls I try not to think about.

Hoping the extra stuff on my license will make it easier to move south and get away from the damn snow while making better money.
 
You know, the last time I was truly drunk, I woke up at about 4am in a lawn chair in the middle of an open field by myself. I had no idea what was going on. I had no idea why I was in a chair in the middle of the night alone. I woke up... and it was just dark and silent. I somehow walked to my friend's tent and passed out on the floor. Good times.

The last time I was out of my mind drunk I woke up in a pile of bloody puke on a football practice field at UK. I was out there all night and I guess nobody cared having to walk around someone near death laying on the ground for hours that morning. That's when I realized having "friends" wasn't such a good idea to get me into such trouble and not even care.
 
I had a ar feiend over. I gave him 20 bucks, and I said, go get us a drink.

You know, what he brings? 100 proof vodka....

I can't seee straogjt, but I'll say this, he brought some good sh!t.

100 proof Stolychnia. I don't even care if I spelled that wrong.

And if you think I typed this easily, .....no......

I got an SMS from the garage the is doing my car service & inspection. Says my tires were assemblied wrongly, & spring is damage & ....the end of the day, cost 2500€. Thats not including the original price of the servicing.

No mood to work after hearing the news. After trying so hard to save money, this kind of sh#t happened.

Edit: Turned out teh workshop that changed my tires put the rear wheels (which is wider) in front causing teh damage. How can a workshop where changing tires is their damn job make such a mistake. I hope to get come compensation but I am not holding my breath

I just had my car towed to the shop today. I hope my ass doesn’t hurt too bad after they do what they have to do.
 
I live in such a crazy place. I've been having a really bad issue with squirrels and rabbits for the last year or so. Last fall one of the 2 species did massive amounts of damage to my truck's electrical wiring and nylon fuel hoses. Well over $3000 of parts/tools doing all the work myself, plus medical bills from getting injured badly last fall working on ramps to get under it safely (it's a lowered sport truck).

So, this year has been a year of the mass extermination of the rabbit population. I've gone through 2 boxes of 12 gauge shells already in the last month. It's so bad, the turkey vultures fly in within minutes of a shot knowing they're about to be fed. :meh:

12 gauge? Damn a pellet gun could take them out. Seems overkill unless they're it a group and it feels like getting a Multi-Kill Achievement.

They're usually out after dark making aiming more difficult, and I don't like wasting time and possibly not killing them when the opportunity is available.
 
I wish shirts like that were around when I went to school, so I wouldn't have to go to school anymore after wearing them.

I decided to back out of getting my HazMat license endorsement after all. I want to make more money, but I don't want the extra liability. It's kind of intimidating and I don't feel ready and I was stressing about it.

It seems crazy to me that most of the time the Trucker not only has to drive the sh't, but also do the hookups with the hoses to load or unload. I mean the loads are anything to Fuel to Poisons or Acids. I might be more comfortable with it if I could just drop off the trailer and let the Chemical company deal with unloading their sh't .


Oh well, I did still get my Tanker endorsement so there might be Non-Hazmat jobs. Some companies haul products in powder form including FracSand or Lime Stone or food like Flour or Rice. Others haul liquid foods like milk or cooking oil.

I also got my Doubles / Triples endorsement, but setting this up looks like a pain in the ass.

I bought a pretty kick ass weed eater today. It’s battery powered but still a beast in terms of power.
I feel like I’m getting more like Hank Hill as I get older.
I love the rechargeable battery powered mover I bought a couple years ago. No more yanking the cord a dozen times to start or spilling gas on myself.

Never seen a triple load like this before, but I will say whenever I see the double load I get uneasy. Think I would pass out from a triple lol
