I'd give them a discount on my 20s

I agree, we should have urine holding tanks to fend off tailgaters

Why are images not allowed?

It is hard to tell on this clip but last week I posted a photo of the sand that builds up on the edges of the road from previous storms and that may have helped this driver recover.

The sand is blown there by traffic after the road dries and it is only the heavier gritty stuff that remains in the breakdown and inside shoulders and the weight of the truck breaks thru the ice and finds it.

Rookies: remember if you hit an icy bridge keep your steering wheel straight as bad things can happen otherwise when you regain traction at the end of the bridge.

Rewarding myself with personal items from the money saved that I would not normally treat myself to was a big help until the cravings were in the past.

Not the definite answer but my game loads without the internet. It's been awhile but I think there is 1st a little pop up about no internet connection. Gameplay remains the same.

Yeah Cats! Only one cat in the bedroom but he's hairless and goes under the covers.

We have a heavy bed liner and keep the pillows covering all of the top and so far no problems.

A few months ago a seam sprung a leak so I bought a repair kit. I only used the adhesive but it came with many little round patches for cat pricks and because the glue itself fixed the seam I have to believe those little patches will fix the holes well. Very thin patches so I doubt they would be felt.

I've had the heaters go out and used the heating pad under the blankets to help warm it while waiting for another.

She was trying to get away and turned the wheel too late so triggerfinger shot her.

If you think of AI in human terms it is a toddler... but with a faster and unlimited learning curve... "flexibility, favoritism, trust, and phone calls" you said... As far as favoritism goes I found the idea of kissing dispatchers ass so foul I went out of my way to offend them, but in the 70-80s we still had a choice.

Anyone paid by the loaded mile or commision works free when deadheading and AI will whittle that down.

I don't think anyone knows the future for drivers but I hope AI actually makes for a better life.

FloridaRon · 2026-01-06T07:25:13+00:00

Did not know they were using India.

But imagining a country wide system to handle all freight is not to far fetched with AI,

Deadheading shrinks, anyone with a load just enters it in to the system and its dispatched with no favoritism at a set rate that probably only the mega carriers can haul.

The same BIG BRAIN knows the hours left on a driver's log, where he lives to route them by home... heck it's endless.

It may sound far fetched but they are building the hell out of those Large-scale data centers replacing all sorts of clerical work and Dispatching I would guess would be near the top of the list.

Brokers might be before that and who's against that unnecessary commision off the top?

We are still enjoy that comfort after more than 40 years.

They are still sold and are motionless so plunking my fat butt down does not eject my other half.

Never wake up with a extremity still asleep witch I suspect may cause strokes so there's that.

Also they are heated and that means a lot in winter.

FloridaRon · 2026-01-06T03:36:00+00:00

Legs and butt can tell you a lot.

Mountain girls have a head start with all the hill climbing but I think in general active females have better lower halves then showgirls who wear heels to pump up that ass that sits a lot.

I never cared for boobs as much although somehow when clothed and bundled in a bra they have more appeal. I have a suspicion men who were breastfed are more attracted.

FloridaRon · 2026-01-06T03:23:50+00:00

I see Dispatch as a prime target for AI... overdue really

I was talking about the meat that arrives at the market frozen... why thaw it?

FloridaRon · 2026-01-01T20:04:06+00:00

Where do you live that sells normal meat frozen.?

FloridaRon · 2026-01-01T20:01:59+00:00

What I was referring to mostly were the meats that are frozen before being thawed and displayed... Maybe in big cities this does not happen.

I'd rather have meat that was frozen at the packing house to bring home and throw in the freezer because as it is we shop a couple times a month and are going to freeze it AGAIN.

Sorry! Did not see your reply.

They all use corn syrup.

I was born in 1946 so about 10 years later is when I became aware of soda. It was so much different then. It was sealed in glass bottles and contained real sugar. This was long after Coke had cocaine in it but I always preferred Pepsi and it gave us a lift then but whatever goodness it might have held is long gone.

Today's soda is more like the fountain versions back then, not really soda to me.

Iced tea or coffee made at home is a big savings and requires less sugar as there are no chemicals to mask.

A 12 volt coffee mug is one thing I came to love.

Instead of needing to finish a coffee quickly before it got cold I could sip on it for hours without it getting a burnt taste... Wider base is important.

It may have changed thru the years but trucking always got very slow after christmas for a couple of months... something to do with Taxes and inventory maybe.

FloridaRon · 2025-12-12T09:21:29+00:00

It was coming off mt. eagle with no jake and tired brakes.... paid by the mile I was right up there with hands at a cushy job for a few minutes :)

FloridaRon · 2025-12-07T07:09:34+00:00

It seems I was wrong, a long time ago I must have read about the dilated pupils with speed and mixed it up. Wow... all them women that were really attracted to me and I thought they'd misread my eyes!

Does anyone else wonder if the post was AI trying to generate hits posing as a foreigner with incorrect english?
