Time and Experience









I just noticed that I've not posted in quite some time. Like 4 months. Suppose I've been busy, yeah, that's it. Busy.




My new trucking business has taught me a whole lot of lessons and given me a whole lot of experiences. Mostly good. Some not so good. And a few very outstanding. Being in business for yourself, making all the decisions and making all the mistakes, plus making all the bucks is where one should be in life. Get rid of the boss!


Where else are you going to see a site like I saw near Elko, NV earlier this summer? For some reason crickets just came out and totally took over this part of Nevada. What a mess! Had a great sandwich here by the way. Tasty. Ain't gonna see this sitting behind a desk watching a computer screen or punching keys on a cash register at some quick mart.


But I've also found out that driving a Peterbilt for a living can be a tremendous burden on keeping healthy. It is very tempting to snack while driving. Not good to do that. So far I've been disciplined enuff not to do that. And it has been very hard to exercise. So I have gained a few pounds since the last time I blogged. Gotta be honest. 5 pounds, ok? The deal is I still have a plan and I stick to it as much as possible. Like a football coach I learned to modify my game plan as the situation changes. Like walking 4 miles instead of 6. Keeping to the food management routine I established before going into this business. Staying healthy and slim as I have pictured myself to be. Ain't letten the truck put the pounds back on me, no sirree.

I'm having fun. I'm enjoying life. I'm seeing this great country that I love so much. God willing, I'll be alive a while longer to enjoy all that this country has to offer and to savor all the challenges that life has to offer. God bless.
