A weekly trip to the grocery is met with planning like I'm going off to war. Gear. Contingencies. Don't go outside of the neighborhood otherwise. More viewing of and posting in the forums, though.
We really miss seeing our families. It just sucks.
Fuckin' A. I speak with my mom and sister often, but there's nothing like a good deep hug with someone you love so much.
An aside...like many daughters, lots of things my mom does irritate the holy fuck out of me. Lately, that irritation is more like a brief internal "grrrr". It's become so inconsequential, you know?
Before covid-19 I had friends here, now I no longer do.
I’ll be your friend
Not for long, like most people here.
Hey try to step back a bit pause we are all under tremendous stress during this crisis, don’t take it to personal I consider everyone here to be good folks like yourself! So take it easy everyone should try to have a good Sunday..

Has NSUH gotten any slower this weekend? Stay safe!

This morning at 1:25am I wake up at a truck stop, put on my gloves and mask, and walk inside to get my morning coffee. I have my hand sanitizer with me as I now just find it easier to wipe down the coffee cup and lid inside rather than do it in my truck. As I walk towards the coffee their is a young(35) lady and an older man(65) in mid conversation. Neither of the 2 are wearing masks or gloves and they are standing about 6 inches apart. Here is what the charming young lady, WHO WORKS FOR THE TRUCKSTOP HAD TO SAY...
This is all bullshit anyway, I'm so sick of this crap. I could go over and lick that door knob and I am not going to get coronavirus. I am sick of people coming in here with their masks on and acting like the world is going to end. Though they may be right. Because China is soon going to drop some nukes on us, and I guess we wont have to worry about this bullshit virus.
I grab my coffee and walk to the counter. She follows me up and asks, "Is that all you are getting?"
I reply, "yes"
She says, "Go ahead coffee is on me"
I reply "Thank You" "Have a nice day."
She says, "I would give this whole damn store away if I could"
I walk away.
SHE WAS THE FIRST PERSON I TALKED TO TODAY! FUCK!
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

This lady was an ABSOLUTE FUCKING LUNATIC!
Its been what, a good 4-6 weeks since I have been deemed essential? In that span of time I have counted 7-10 truckers wearing masks. Which means I have counted 500-1000 NOT wearing masks inside the truck stops. They climb on top of each other to get their coffee, they stand 3 inches apart in line to checkout. Essential? I guess. Essentially real FUCKING STUPID? Absolutely!

Damn, that’s so disappointing. Glad to hear you’re doing what you need to do to stay healthy, and that at least some truck stops are open for you to get what you need, even though obviously sub-par.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
Last week, or 2 weeks ago a few states have given permission for some licensed food trucks to set up shop in rest areas to provide HOT FOOD to us truck drivers. Pretty cool idea. Then I read how the truck stop owners/workers were pissed because this was taking away from their business. I NEVER LAUGHED SO FUCKING HARD! The truck stops have been over charging us drivers for anything and everything for 100 years. They know damned well that we have no choice to purchase from them so everything is MARKED UP! It is what it is.
Anyway, last week I go to shut down at a rest area in Ohio, and sure enough there was a gentleman and his food truck. I wander over to see what its all about. This guy was NOT FUCKING AROUND! He had slabs of ribs, cheeseburgers, and something else that I don't remember. He had a deep fryer in the truck for French fries, he had a huge generator running, and he had a smoker outside for the ribs. Pretty damned cool. I had a cheeseburger, which he charged me $11 for, I grabbed a couple diet cokes, and tipped the guy $7. He was floored by the tip. But hey, I appreciated what he was doing. He said he had been there 3 days in a row, told me his hours, and said business was great. I was happy for him. Very nice young man, very polite, very appreciative.

I couldn't even imagine working in that type of environment. BE SAFE!
My sister is a Compliance Manager for nursing home facilities, here in Chicago. They had a big issue with some of their facilities in Michigan. Don't ask the issue, I don't know. Anyway she has been an RN. for over 30 years. She had to travel to Michigan last week and work with covid patients. I don't think she has worked one on one with patients of any kind in at least 20 years.
But duty called.
And off she went.

i do have a practical question about truck stops.
have you ever bought one of those medieval knight armor helmets? what about a sword?
i never got why truckstops sell these, but with as long as you have been driving you could maybe own a few entire suits of armor that we do not know about.

I reply, "yes"
She says, "Go ahead coffee is on me"
I reply "Thank You" "Have a nice day."
She says, "I would give this whole damn store away if I could"
I walk away.
SHE WAS THE FIRST PERSON I TALKED TO TODAY! FUCK!
i do have a practical question about truck stops.
have you ever bought one of those medieval knight armor helmets? what about a sword?
i never got why truckstops sell these, but with as long as you have been driving you could maybe own a few entire suits of armor that we do not know about.
No.
I usually make a bee line to the fishing pole aisle, and then I go to the flip flop aisle.
i love the randomness of the aisles at those places.
Fishing poles, flip flops, model airplanes, cowboy hats, you name it, THEY HAVE IT!
i am partial to the yosemite sam mudflap aisle.
I thought you were supposed to be working from home?
Not playing on the internet.

You are indeed an amazing man. hahahahahahahaha
that's what SHE said, haha

An aside...like many daughters, lots of things my mom does irritate the holy fuck out of me. Lately, that irritation is more like a brief internal "grrrr". It's become so inconsequential, you know?
Has NSUH gotten any slower this weekend? Stay safe!

Just want to share a little story.
This morning at 1:25am I wake up at a truck stop, put on my gloves and mask, and walk inside to get my morning coffee. I have my hand sanitizer with me as I now just find it easier to wipe down the coffee cup and lid inside rather than do it in my truck. As I walk towards the coffee their is a young(35) lady and an older man(65) in mid conversation. Neither of the 2 are wearing masks or gloves and they are standing about 6 inches apart. Here is what the charming young lady, WHO WORKS FOR THE TRUCKSTOP HAD TO SAY...
This is all bullshit anyway, I'm so sick of this crap. I could go over and lick that door knob and I am not going to get coronavirus. I am sick of people coming in here with their masks on and acting like the world is going to end. Though they may be right. Because China is soon going to drop some nukes on us, and I guess we wont have to worry about this bullshit virus.

This lady was an ABSOLUTE FUCKING LUNATIC!
Its been what, a good 4-6 weeks since I have been deemed essential? In that span of time I have counted 7-10 truckers wearing masks. Which means I have counted 500-1000 NOT wearing masks inside the truck stops. They climb on top of each other to get their coffee, they stand 3 inches apart in line to checkout. Essential? I guess. Essentially real FUCKING STUPID? Absolutely!

Another story.
Last week, or 2 weeks ago a few states have given permission for some licensed food trucks to set up shop in rest areas to provide HOT FOOD to us truck drivers. Pretty cool idea. Then I read how the truck stop owners/workers were pissed because this was taking away from their business. I NEVER LAUGHED SO FUCKING HARD! The truck stops have been over charging us drivers for anything and everything for 100 years. They know damned well that we have no choice to purchase from them so everything is MARKED UP! It is what it is.
Anyway, last week I go to shut down at a rest area in Ohio, and sure enough there was a gentleman and his food truck. I wander over to see what its all about. This guy was NOT FUCKING AROUND! He had slabs of ribs, cheeseburgers, and something else that I don't remember. He had a deep fryer in the truck for French fries, he had a huge generator running, and he had a smoker outside for the ribs. Pretty damned cool. I had a cheeseburger, which he charged me $11 for, I grabbed a couple diet cokes, and tipped the guy $7. He was floored by the tip. But hey, I appreciated what he was doing. He said he had been there 3 days in a row, told me his hours, and said business was great. I was happy for him. Very nice young man, very polite, very appreciative.

I couldn't even imagine working in that type of environment. BE SAFE!
My sister is a Compliance Manager for nursing home facilities, here in Chicago. They had a big issue with some of their facilities in Michigan. Don't ask the issue, I don't know. Anyway she has been an RN. for over 30 years. She had to travel to Michigan last week and work with covid patients. I don't think she has worked one on one with patients of any kind in at least 20 years.
But duty called.
And off she went.
