And it continues to be a slow month, events-wise. Turkey-day draws nigh...

I have little to report. It's been a slow month.

I have learned that Sylvania Silverstar headlights are garbage. I've just had my 3rd one burn out this year. I had just replaced it 2 weeks ago. At $30-per bulb this is unacceptable. Time to go with the OEMs.

I hate road rage. I almost never ever see it in my car, but it is quite frequent when I'm driving an 18-wheeler. I magically become...

All day long I think of all kinds of shit I could write here. But, once I'm home I don't even care.

My place isn't done, yet. I've been making progress, but there's still a lot to be done. The last of the flooring should be done tomorrow, baseboards notwithstanding.

I went back to work 2 weeks ago and starting last week I've been working the super-early AM shift. I go in between 2-3AM. Which is nice because I don't have to deal with so much traffic....

Ah, my bedroom floor is done. I have a nice Pergo now, (as opposed to a wretched carpet) with a maple finish.
It's so clean and smooth, I was effortlessly breakdancing and moonwalking on it.

Well, into week 3 of my vacation and I'm just now getting started on the demolition portion of my remodeling project.
I have to get this done.
Too many irons in the fire.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, move along.

My 3-week vacation starts on Saturday and I was already scheduled to have Friday off for the day early head-start. Now my 21 days off are 23 days off. My vacation starts TODAY!

No cool...

I saw a funny bumper sticker on a truck the other day. It said:
Driver has no money... He's married.

Damn, I need to hurry up and marry some girl so I can give her all my money.

EDIT: Like every single guy I work with.

It's a tractor-trailer. It's a truck. It's a truckter.
Why do people drive around with their high-beams on, without any regard for other drivers on the road? The drivers in front surely don't appreciate it, and I suspect the drivers in oncoming traffic aren't thrilled by it either.
Do people really think their emergency donut is safe to drive on the interstate? Usually those dinky...

I had the day off. One of my headlights burned out last week so I finally got around to getting that fixed.
And I put in for my vacation. A very ho-hum day in the life.
