Columbus, OH

Well I finally sent in the application for a 401k and am forming in Nevada S-Corp. I will underpay myself and subject myself to lousy working conditions.

I got a new GPS reciever. Then something broke something inside my dash and I unsuccessfully fixed it with epoxy and glued the computer plug to it. I pried it off with a knife but now it's fried. Dammit.

I brought back the old reciever, and it works sometimes.

Soon as I'm loaded I head for Garland TX. I aim to be in Indiana tonight at my favorite truckstop. If I can park. Too damn many trucks, and too many park at the same time. They "run" together, too. Aint that adorable?

Sometimes I get between them, and next thing I know I've got a face full of trailer as the one has to get on his buddy's ass again. And yeah, I wrote it like that on purpose--gimme a break! I became a trucker for freedom and independance. They became truckers to drive nose-to-tail down the road and babble endlessly about nothing on the CB like old ladies.

They're idiots, too. Nose-to-tail in a convoy. I try to maintain intelligent following distance and keep getting trailers in my face. Sometimes THIRTY MILES down the road I can still see the first idiot that passed me, with a whole train of trucks behind him like a freight train. Idiots.

I say "Good boy! Go find the trooper--atta boy!" And usually, I end up ahead of them anyway. Anyway, I'm a pro. They aint. They park crooked, throw garbage out their windows, block traffic--I haul USA trailers, and company truckes are governed at 63. So they pass me, realize they're doing 72, then slow down! Mindless, discourteous, and stupid.

I gave up trying to get anybody to read my Browns Blog and am punishing them by spamming them instead. Serves them right.
