Just had to see if I can write something thats not truck related so VM has something to get on his soap box about!
OK I couldn't do it. That involves thinking and I don't want to get caught doing that while in the truck. The boss gets mad if we do our own thinking while in his trucks! He's afraid he may need to pay us more than just bread and water. Last time he took the bread away for the week!
Well I have been diagnosed with ADHD!! I'm starting to get concerned about going to see a doctor. I may end up in a rubber room with one of those funny white jackets on. You know the one with the extra long sleeves that tie in the back. So I am on yet another med. But this has made a world of difference in how I feel. Now I just hope it's not a short term thing. I don't remember the last time I felt this good. I actually had the drive to do work around the house and not have to have my wife hounding me to do it. I also find I'm not wanting to stop and just sit in the truck watching the world go by. That and my mind isn't wandering all over the place. I can actually keep my concentration on what I'm doing.
Still alive(I think)

When traveling 65 mph down the road in a big truck it's not a good idea to have your mind wandering. I was to where I wasn't focusing on what I was doing. It was extremely scary. I shouldn't have even been driving. Now this one brain cell(not two!) pays more attention to what I'm doing. As you might guess it gets over worked just doing one thing at a time. This one brain cell was getting overloaded trying to think about two things at one time. That was why I became a trucker. Just had to think about driving!!

Darn, you two are getting too deep for me. This simple old truck driver doesn't understand these mind things. You mean you have to have a brain cell? That's a first for me because most of the people I have met lately don't even have that much.
