other dog Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I probably ran almost as hard as Mark this week. I left last Sunday with a load of coils going to Duluth,Ga. Unloaded Monday morning and went up to Clarkesville to get a load of lumber that wasn't ready so I had to go over to Rome and load for Moneta then went to Middlefield,Oh. and unloaded then reloaded a load that was supposed to have went to North Jackson, so I took that to North Jackson then went over to Sharon and loaded coils for Lynchburg,then went by the shop to have the truck serviced before I went to Moneta and loaded for Cortland,Oh. after which I loaded in Sharon for Lynchburg again. Got in about 8:00 last night. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Olivetroad Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I walked to the shop with my computer and brief case yesterday morning, then I went back to the house to get the remote to turn off the alarm, then I went back to the shop and worked a while, then I went outside and pee-ed, then I went back inside for a little longer, then I went back to the house at lunch-thirty, then I walked back to the shop, then I walked out to measure some items, then I went back in the shop, then I went outside to pee again, then I walked out and checked on some heifers, then I walked to the hay barn, then I fed the cows, then I went back to the shop, then I went in the bathroom and pooped, then I walked to the house -whew! I almost ran as hard as Vision 386. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23478-a-vision386-type-week/#findComment-104101 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost ran as hard as Vision 386.You call that work? I can do 2 pees and a poop without even getting out of bed!Uh.......Anywho, I would like you to teach me how to communicate. I typically leave the house at around 8pm and every so often come stumbling back home around 330 am. It's those nights that the MRS. asked me what I did."What'ja do last night?""I drove to Summersville, WV and swapped trailers with a driver from Roanoke.""Then what?"I..uh..drove back home.I need to take a night like that and either glorify it or pepper it with so mch gibberish and double-talk that she loses interest.I'ts funny how when my ass comes dragging in around 9am I don't hear a word. She knows those are high-dollar nights and she can continue to enjoy the lavish lifestyle she's accustomed to.

other dog Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 I see what you're saying there Green Dash- I didn't try to enhance my story like Olivetroad. I condensed a weeks work into 4 lines, not even mentioning walking to and fro, tarping,strapping,chaining,setting up coil racks,peeing,untarping,unstrapping,unchaining,putting stuff away,unpeeing-never mind,I never un-peed-but then i'm not one to make mountains out of mole hills Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Stings like a sonofabitch.I only spent 14 months of my driving career OTR but I used to love those weeks when the loads kept coming and there was minimal downtime. I may have eventually burned me out, but since I was spending the time away from my family, I wanted to make the most of it.I have a strap on bag so don't need to be bothered with that type of business.

Olivetroad Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 no indoor plumbing in the shop?We do have a bathroom with stainless sink and a crapper. One of the guys that works for me is 55 years old and for his whole life he has lived where they aren't allowed to put paper down the john so he puts it in the trash can next to the crapper - yes, he puts ALL the used paper in the trash can next to the crapper - yuck! So I tend to stay out of that area - for a couple of years we did not have a toilet brush and we therefore grew the most interesting green algae scum all over the thing. Finally I had enough and bought one - now I do use it for sit down needs, but for peeing, I stroll outside and make my own bathroom.My latest endeavor in this department is that over the winter, I picked out a flywheel cover off a little briggs engine and I have been peeing on it. I took another one and laid it down off to the side as a control for the experiment. I pee on the one every day and I am hoping to see a big difference in the amount of rust.During the growing season, I do the same with a couple of weeds that sprout next to a shipping container. This past year, when I first started, I burned all the leaves off the weed and I thought I killed it, but then that damn thing took off like a rocket on my firepower pee fertilizer and grew twice as fast.This is what we do for entertainment down on the farm Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23478-a-vision386-type-week/#findComment-104160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 well at least you're doing very important scientific experiments when you pee on things instead of just...well, just peeing on things. keep up the good work.

randyp Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Heh heh,,reminds me of a lil story from early mining days. I started in mines driving coal hauler. We dumped at a crusher, they put up a sign for us to double check dump doors when leaving hopper. I always stopped at sign when i had to piss, if I stood on truck catwalk I could arc a good stream down all over sign. This went on for a long time, and I watch sign slowly corrode and rust badly. Musta been bout a year or so after i began this regimen, sign was almost illegible, went in to work swing shift one day, my truck was down, there was a brand new "check dump door" sign in foremans office. Foreman told me to go take old sign down and put up new one,,,sheeit, what goes round, comes round. randyp 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23478-a-vision386-type-week/#findComment-104178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Maikshilo Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm all for outside watering just remember. Don't piss on the electric fence, it will leave a scar and also no matter how many times you shake it the last drop is for the underwear.

sampat Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Middlefield,Oh wow thats almost in my back yard i live only 20 miles west.During the growing season, I do the same with a couple of weeds that sprout next to a shipping container. This past year, when I first started, I burned all the leaves off the weed and I thought I killed it, but then that damn thing took off like a rocket on my firepower pee fertilizer and grew twice as fast.must be diffirent kinds of pee because the past years on harvest peeing out back behind the camper seems all i could do is make a large dead spot where i took a leak every morning. back in the shop durring the cold Minnesota winters used to pee on the dumpster to see if i could freeze it down before they come back for trash collection next week never suceeded at that one.

Olivetroad Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 My worst (or best) peeing exploit was I bought a freezer at a surplus auction at a hospital that would go down to negative 70 degrees.
