Greetings from the land of OTR

For those who are unfamiliar with the acronym, it means Over the Road. Well I do spend much time on the road, bringing goods to a city near any of you who live in the US. That's changed a little since February, I still deliver goods. It's just a regional distribution now, to points in eastern Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi.  First of all, I hate extremely hot weather. ..so that meant staying inside truck or air conditioned spaces as much as possible.  Second, this flatlander trucking kinda gets to me, especially when I get a load home. Then my ears are popping with every little hill all the way there. 

My last entry here was about holidays 2011, and it's nearing holiday season again.  2012, I spent holidays in my truck. I drove through the leading edge of the Christmas snow storm that hit Oklahoma, northward to Topeka. In 2013, I gained a teammate and spent thanksgiving with my team mate's family, and Christmas with my folks back home.  

This year, it's going to be Christmas with my team mate's family. I will try to stay in the truck if possible, at the truck stop. I have plenty to keep me busy while there. At the moment thou, we are waiting for a load to Kansas for hometime,and just found out the battery went dead on the truck. It was only sitting here off for maybe 10 hours or so...freaky. Have to get the problem addressed as the outside temperature is going up and it's too hot in the top bunk.
