The Memory Is The First Thing To Go

Published on October 20, 2006 By MasonM In Blogging

I forget what's second.

This morning I grabbed my shave kit, swapped the Limes for Sandalwood, and walked inside the truckstop for a nice shave. Inside I set up all of my stuff on the sink counter, started doing my prep, reached in the kit to remove my brush so it could soak and realized that I had left it hanging in the truck. Ack!

I always hang it up with a churchwarden pipe cleaner so that it can dry properly. This is the first time I have actually forgotten to take it down before going inside.

So now I sit, unshaven, waiting for my breakfast. I am waiting for a call from dispatch to inform me what I need to do next, and where. Hopefully I'll have time to walk all the way back out there and retrieve my brush so that I can have my shave.

Fortunately, I did remember to put on my pants.

I feel so dumb right now.

Dr. Freud says your memory is not totally gone if your nether regions are not air conditioned.

Dude, I thought you were going to write about driving off for a couple hundred miles before remembering you'd put Socrates on the roof!

I had a witty retort for this but forgot what it was.

It turns out I had plenty of time so after breakfast I went back out to the truck and retrieved my shaving brush.

After my shave I went over to Oshkosh truck and picked up a military truck headed for CA. I'm on my way to the yard to drop it off so someone else can deliver it. I even had time to stop here and catch up on my paperwork so I can turn it in when I get to the yard.

Unless the plan changes between now and when I get to the yard, I'm going to be taking a load of generators down to Houston for Monday morning. I guess I'll get to see some of the flooding aftermath.

Hey, sandalwood is a manly scent if you follow it up with a nice Bay Rum aftershave.
