So this was fun. Rolling down an icy 4 lane hill about half speed when a truck about 4 or 5 lengths ahead of me does a violent jack knife. He slams into his trailer so hard that it starts to rotate clockwise. I decide to shoot for an escape instead of risking my own jack knife and possibly slamming head first into his equipment.

@iggy oh for sure. After everyone walking away from something like this, you just got to smile and giggle a little bit.

So this happened today. My retarded broke ass just went and bought a rig. Came into the yard and there was a brand new automatic Volvo waiting for me. A deal had been struck to trade in all the Pete's, and the entire fleet is now automatic. I'm really nervous about driving an auto in the mountains so I asked my boss what it would

I should just be a truck driver. And then squeeze in shoots along the way.

@witchking it's not a bad way to get paid to see the country, as long as you don't mind driving in the snow.

Just thought I'd share some of my favorite soundcloud finds.

These girls are all relatively unknown singer songwriters. Some songs are more polished than others.

These songs actually remind me a lot of some of the images I see here.

Hauntingly beautiful

Creative

Unapollogetic

Fiercely independent

And sometimes a feast for your senses so intense, you can't help but be moved.

Remember that, next time...

Anyone that knows me, knows me for 2 things, my love for my kids, and my love for datsuns. Well both the kids and the datsun is a lot older now. My daughter is starting her education in robotics and my son is pursuing his dream to start a studio by interning with madlucky and taking business in college. But that wasn't always the case.

Checking out a new spot in Winnipeg tonight.

I didn't realize we had hipsters in Winnipeg. I haven't seen this many ankles since PE class

Live bands, craft beer and pizza. I love Winnipeg.

So I ended up hopping back in the rig a lot sooner than I was expecting, but I haven't given up. On the plus side, the extra time will allow me to be more ambitious with the car.

Before I left I managed to gut the Zed down to a rolling shell. Since this set of pics, I've pulled the wiring harness and all fuel/hydraulic...

I'm going to end up LSx swapping the Supra but it has to live at my buddys since the apartment complex won't let me store a roller. Once I've processed out of the Marines I'll be renting a real house so I'll get a garage and really get into it.

@ambientxnoise LSX? That things gonna be a monster.

So this is my bit. Whenever I run short of coin, I hop back in a rig. Whenever I need to go on a sabbatical, I hop back in a rig. It's therapy for both my soul, and my bank account. Both of which are deep in the red right now, and my therapist is the northern Rockies.

The winter mountain passes are at the

It's time to turn my humble house back into a home.

After 6 years of trying to make it work out with my ex I decided it was finally time to move on... literally.

I flew out to Winnipeg from BC on a whim after another scrap with the ex and went house hunting. I was actually on my way to the bio lab at

iggy:
Man, that sounds like one hell of a roller coaster. But you seem to retain a pretty positive attitude, which is all sorts of amazing. 
iceboxdonkey:
@iggy Well I know I played my part in that roller coaster, plus I'm not really one for stressing. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. No matter what it is, it's easier to deal with, with a smile on your face :)

So my first challenge to myself is to prove that I've moved on from my past of INSANE procrastination. No more spending months to do something that should take me a week, or years on a project that should take me a couple months. What better way to prove this than to build up a ride for my son. So I had this rust bucket
