A bunch of useless crap
Published on March 13, 2009 By MasonM In Blogging

It's been a while since I've been able to blog.

The last time I blogged I was waiting out a snowstorm in NY.

I picked up a load in PA and ran it to WI with a stop in IL. I then loaded up an airport crash truck and hauled it down to Mesa, AZ. I am now on my way vack out of Mesa.

The weather is pretty typical for this time of year. I'v gone from pretty warm to snowstorm. I'm spending the night in Amarillo and it's snowing here. Such is the way it is this time of year.

I spent some time in the saloon next to the hotel and had a pretty good time. I met a total loon who believes every coonspiracy theory he's ever heard about 9/11 )he finally got mad at my questions and left) and I met several decent follks. I even ran across another driver that I had met in there a year ago that he and I remembered each other.

That's one thing about my line of work, I meet a lot of people that I run across again later on. Kinda cool really.

I was able to  pay my bills today, which felt pretty good. I hate being behind on my bills.

I   met a lady in the bar who liked me and my way of dress, and wanted to come back to my room with me (am in a hotel tonight). I chatted with her a while but left her in the bar when I left. She was cute and all but I just can't go there with someone that easy. Probably why I've never had an STD.

Gotta admit though, it was temptng.

I need to head home soon. I've been on the road for 3 months now. That's a long time and I'm feeling it. I need some time off the road. I thinnk I'll head home some time in the next week or two.

Life on the road is, as it's always been, interesting. It's what you make of it. I have a bit of fun here and there. What more can you want?

Glad to see things still going well for ya. Take a break, you sound like you need it, especially when a pretty woman wants to spend some "quality time" with you and you turned her down.

Have a safe trip.

Hi Mason.  Thanks for the update.     It is good you are considering heading home for a little while.  I would hate to have to do your laundry.   At least you are getting some jobs.  Let's hope that continues as the weather gets better for you trucker guys.

Stay safe.

Thanks. I prefer not spending "quality time" being treated for an STD

Thanks, seems like everywhere I stop these days doesn't have free wifi so getting online has been sketchy.

Thanks. I did some laundry a while back but it's getting about time to do it again. Never ending chore.

Good to hear from ya Mason.  Good on ya for having good judgment on the lady.  Been in a few waterholes that were more of a meat market. All spam, not really what you'd like but goes down too easy.

I hope that business stays up and that you are able to stay ahead of your bills.

See, this is why I couldn't do your job.  Being away from home for so long would drive me batty.  I love my home, the comfort of my 'things' (yes, I am a bit of a homebody).  Glad to hear you're doing alright and due a break soon.  And your sensibilities when it comes to the fairer sex are to be admired.
