SNOW i mentioned before that i dislike driving in the snow......and did i hit snow holy crap..... i got to about an hour north of north platte, NE and i hit the storm.....this would be the one that passed thru on sunday.....it was ugly dumped tons of snow all over the central US.....so I got to North Platte, NE barley i might add (was almost outta fuel) and i ended up putting in 210 GALLONS or just over 700 litres....of fuel crap thats a big bill.....but anywho i get outta there around noonish luckly cause I hear they closed the roads shortly after i left around 230....so that is a good thing but i still had to drive thru shit that day and was it wierd i stopped in Kansas still on the hwy 83....and my truck starts making wierd noises so i stop and go to jump out on the highway and i step out and slip....but dont fall....so i get on the road and push away from the truck and i slide...yea it was fricken icy.....but hey keep on driving like an idoit......it was so wierd and passing other trucks was even crazier it got my heart pumping crazy fast....
but follow the 83 ALL the way down to garden city, Ks and i stopped in and picked up the pic that is posted that i havent taken yet (i will put it up later when i get to amarillo,tx sorry) it is a damn cool bobble head it made me laugh my ass off!!! so thats all good.....but i am gonna have you stop with the atlas thingy i was just kidding about that.....but anywho......that is all the snow i want to talk about today......so there you go.....but i will post more when i get to amarillo.....ENJOY!!

well happy thanksgiving all you americans!!! funny how i was in the states for Canadian thanksgiving and in Canada for the US thanksgiving....but heres the deal go out and get an atlas and follow this one thru........
7 am i leave medicine hat, AB....drive to Gull lake, SK and have a lovely breakfast with my mother cause daddy was busy working....oh well it was nice to see her.....leave there and drive to moose jaw, SK and take the 39 down to the boarder where i came to North Portal, SK and had a lovely encounter with the boarder patrol....they are dinks there!!!! the one guy was not happy with how i did the paper work and ask me to redo it....so i did got a different guy when i came back and he just looked at it and said what is all this (i pieced out all the pieces on my deck and it took up half the page it looked like a mess but thats what the guy told me to do) I was like hey thats what he told me to do.....the guy just shook his head and walked away and said he would be a min.....so i wait not long and the guy comes back and asks if he can see the load and we go out and take a look at the load and he says that all is good i can go......so i leave that mess behind and get the hell outta that boarder crossing hopefully never to return!!!!
and so the journey continues I go to a town called Minot, ND and stop there to pick up something to eat and do the log book up......leave there and head down the hwy 83 all the way to selby, SD I will wait so yall can find that one eh?................................................................................................................................ well that should be long enough found it good!! i get there and stop and figure that i can take some time off so i sleep and sleep and sleep i get about 8 or 9 mabey 10 hours off there and head out again towards North Platte, NE and i run into some wicked snow......and we will continue this on the next post.......Enjoy

i just dont know where to begin??!!
|
|
I have no Idea where to begin i have been gone so long that it feels like i cant remember what the hell i did.....oh who could forget the colonoscopy....yes that did indeed get done they shove a tube the size of well atleast my thumb but thicker.....well you get the point up the nicely unpleasant spot on the backside and the fricken tube is like 2 feet long gahhhhhhh......but just before they insert this said tube they give you the most wounderfull drugs they just shoot it right up the iv hole mmmmmmmm yummy.....and then the arm feels cold and funny and then the head fells cold and hahahahhaahhahah ahhhhhh then you feel all sleepy and see pic on the screen in front of you of the camera going in but you are too drugged to care or notice and then you can see the inside of the colon and everything.....and if you can force yourself to keep looking you get to see some wierd looking stuff.....but then i passed out and woke up in recovery and i jumped outta bed and nearly hit the floor......oh well no biggie!!!! it didnt hurt, but the prep to clean the colon i hate it HATE it...ok i Am sorry but i am fallingasleep writing this so i will put more up later soon i hope....
Ok just reread that jubbrish and wow i was tired but to continue on about the old colonoscopy.... it is over and done with so that is that and i got to speak to the doc after it was done and he showed me pic and stuff and i was too druged up to really pay attention so when i got back to the truck and opend my bag and shit i found a piece of paper and realised that he has me booked to do a bone density scan some time somewhere.........i cant remember what the hell we talked about so that is wierd.....and then I got to drive the old semi......oh and by the way Katie i like the "Crystal Blue" idea that was COOOOOLLL...execllent......well where was i back to aldersyde and drop my paperwork off and then i decided that sice I was still feeling druged i will stay in aldersyde and sleeeeeppppp oh what a great idea that was.......i was out like a light when i finally layed down!!!! it was awesome....so that is that the end of the colon ordeal.....no pic this post but wait till tommorow!!ENJOY

Well i am a day ahead of myself but that ok i am going to be in Canada for a couple days here so that will free up a couple days.....
Ok so to the pic to start off and i think that this is gonna be a rather long post but it should be interesting one!!!:
the worst pic cause the lighting right now sucks and it was the best one I got of it and i took a bunch of them but anyway is of a guardian bell that i bought today at the mile-high harley davidson...and there is a story that goes with it and here it is and why people put these guardian bells on there bikes:
Legend has it that the Evil Road Spirits have been latching themselves on to motorcycles for as long as there have been bikes on the road. These Evil Road Spirits are responsible for mechanical problems and bad luck along the joyrney.
Legend goes on to say that be attaching a small bell onto your bike, the Evil Road Spirits will become trapped inside the bell where the constant rining drives them insane, making them lose there grip untill they fall to the ground. yall ever wounder where pot-holes come from?
Ledgend also has it that the mystery of the Guardian Bell carries twice as much power when it is purchased by a friend or loved one and given as a gift.
so there that explains the funny looking thing that i am holding in my hand picture....
and the rest of todays pic are of the states that i crossed....sorry missed the best one Colorado but hey i flew by the sign in the night and missed it so...it aint like i can stop on a dime i am hauling 75,500 pounds today....oh and the second best state Texas i was there too today and the sign was way across an interstate and did not feel like running over trafic to get there so i decided against taking that pic untill i am on my way back down there....so it will have to wait...
but on to what i did today i got well i will start half way thru cause all the crap that happened in the morning was boring consisted of me sleeping in way longer than i should have......but that has happened more than once this trip so i will NOT be going into that again.....but i got to Aurora, Co which is like part of Denver and i stoped at the Flying J and looky here there is a harley davidson just a block away so i think that i should get some christmas shoping done.....the bonus of living in a family that has harleys you can just stop in any harley davidson shop and pick up some clothes or other crap and christmas is done!!! so that is what i did and got like 5 or 6 people bought for and so my christmas shopping is half done almost!!! awesome it was a cool shop lots of bikes in there and a ton of clothing so i spent like almost an hour looking around finding stuff but the staff was wicked helpful and all was over in a matter of min it seemed so all is good and christmas shopping is now that much shorter!! awesome.....
And if yall read a few days ago i mentioned snow as my least fav road condition eh? well i should have knocked on wood cause guess what i ran into today............yep a blizzard in cheyenne, wY....IT WAS crazy people were going like 60 on the interstate.....that is kmph not miles......so everyone was going super slow semi's were having problems getting up the off ramps cause they were so icy so traffic was backed up luckly it was on the other side of the highway and not mine....needless to say it was messy thru cheyenne today.....but you just have to grab the wheel and haul past the slow asses and try to keep the shit on the road....it was kinda fun but still got the blood pumping there wernt too many accidents just one SUV that flipped in the ditch...i swear that was the only type of vehical that past me was SUV's man people get into those things and think that they are indestructable..........but when they end up in the ditch they thinki otherwise....suckers.... oh there was one car that passed me a pontiac sunfire i think...and was he hauling ass i was going like mabey 65 miles and he zoomed past me I expected him to be in the ditch later but unfortunatly he was not oh well one day those crazy bastards will end up there if they keep driving like that!!!! idoits
But got to Casper in one piece and all is good starting to snow here so i am expecting to wake up in the morning with snow up to my knees...that would be awesome!!! but we will see if the storm wanders up here or stays down in cheyenne....i guess they closed the I-80 in cheyenne so i was lucky that I wasent going that way!!!
But thats about all I have for Yall today eh.....i think that that is long enough i am thinking that i missed something but if i did i can always post in the morning cant leave here untill 5 tommorow afternoon so yall have a great weekend eh.....enjoy

just a couple poems for the weekend
|
|
Yall just wait untill the pic i will have in the next couple days i have a plan.....so here are some of my fav poems...well one is a song and kinda long but yall enjoy it anyway eh..
this one is by JIM DAVIS....he does garfield by the way....
MY BUDDY
I have a buddy
my buddies a toad
he's kinda muddy
he's flat on the road
but he is my buddy my buddy to stay
till hes peeled up and sailed away....
wasted youth
i remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday
i was barley 17 and I once killed a boy with a fender guitar
i dont remember if it was a tellecaster or a stratacaster
but i do remember it had a heart of crome and a voice like a horny angel
i dont remember if it was a tellecaster or a stratacaster
but i do remember that it wasent at all easy
it required the perfect combonation of the right power cords
and the precise angle from which to strike
the guitar bled for about a week afterward
the blood was dark and rich like wild berries
the blood of the guitar was choke berry red
the guitar bled for about a week afterward
but it rung out beautifully and i was able to play notes that i never even heard before
so i took my guitar and i smashed it against the wall
i smashed it against the floor
i smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader
i smashed it againtst the hood of a car
smashed it againt a 1981 harley davidson the guitar howled in heat
the harley howled in pain
and i ran up the stairs to my parents bedroom...mommy and daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
slowly i opened the door, creeping in the shadows right up to the foot of the bed i raised the guitar high above my head and just as i was about to bring the guitar crashing down upon the center of the bed my father woke up screaming "STOP WAIT A MINUTE,STOP IT BOY, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING, THATS NO WAY TO TREAT AN EXPENCIVE MUSICAL INSTURMENT"
and I said "GOD DAMMIT DADDY, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, BUT YOU GOT A HELL OF A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL!"
and if you did not know that was done by meatloaf.....what a great song
and if yall read books there is a gooder that i would read right now had i not lended the book out to a friend over a year ago and still have not got it back.....but that bookis called Johnathan Livingston Seagull it is a great book read it for the first time back in junior high and was the first book i read more than once.......it is a great life story and applies to all ages...its great and has great meaning to me so hopefully i get it back i guess i could go and buy it again but i have had that book since i read it for the first time so it is kinda a keepsake so i will get it back i know where she lives!!
what else can i bore yall with today eh? mmmmm i dont know for the biggest rambler in fotopage history i am drawing a blank and thats good cause i told yall i would stop rambling on so there you go enjoy....till tommorow that is

EMPTY....well now i am full
|
|
ok so that was a major piss me off now i am mad at fotopages!!! i write this long well not really for me but it was a good post and i go to put in a smily face to congradulate JP and it erases the whole entry and all i am left with is a string of smily faces jumping up and down.....piss me right off....
SO i guess i have to start off new now and that involves me remembering what the hell i wrote here piss me off damn computer......AND I SMASH MY COMPUTER AGAINST THE TABLE... just joking i wouldnt do that i am not a violent person....i am a very cuddly happy huggy person.....and on occasions a kissy person.....dammit i am rambling on and on again i have to stop that.....
so i guess that my day was short today only an 8 hour work day so that was cool.....and oh yea i have been driving thru about 3 days worth of fog at night and that gives me a massive headache.....but other than the headache i liike driving in the fog.....that and rain are the best of the lousy conditions that i drive in...ok that made no sencehad to read it like 3 times to understand...so I like driving in rain and fog but SNOW AND ICE are not my friend they are the enemy....i can still haul ass on it it just makes me nervous and the old heart races when i am pounding the ice and snow!!! and that makes for stressy situations......even thou i have been driving truks......it has been 4 years now that i have been driving truck cool......i started with Rosenau Transport on Nov. 16 2000 cool that is so interesting...anywho in canadian winters i still dont feel all that comfortable when the old winter snow and shit start falling......see this is much longer than my origonal post!!!
And i have come to conclude that i have a wierd desire to eat black olives...so wierd i have never been attracted to the olive before it is wierd the tastes that you acuire....and if you like food i would definatly suggest....NO YOU WILL GO TO JP HARR FOTOPAGE IF YOU LIKE FOOD.....or cars for that fact he has a bitchen car!!!i love the hubcaps on the beast so cool.....and since he is still living up to his agreement we have I will continue to leave the double link on the side of my page....your doing an awesome job JP.....NO SORRY I AM NOT GONNA RISK PUTTING A COOL SMILY FACE HERE FOR YOU SO DEAL WITH IT JUST IMAGINE IT IS THERE....the drinking one and the nice long line of them jumping.....funnny i can see them now!!!!  
and ms. dotted stripes i went back to you website and enlarged that pic of the person sitting in the library....and wow that was an impressive shot was that a self portrait or did you manage to capture someone off guard?? it was an impressive photo great job!!
I got the truck all washed today......there is a truck wash called the Blue Beacon.....here in Amarillo it is the shit!! they do an awesome job......unlike the one in san antonio.....where i was a couple weeks ago and asked them to wash the motor and extra $6.50 and they barley even sprayed it with a garden hose it seemed like!!! but the guys that wash the truck in Amarillo here they even came and got me to ask if i wanted to come and look at the engine to make sure that the job was well done!! what service......considering that they were busy too i even got a hand shake and a friendly hello and a handshake and a friendly goodbye when i left unlike at the one in san antonio where i was greated with "tractor AND trailer" "wax?" and that was it no hand shake no hello....assholes!!! sorry for the profanity but it really upset me that the post got erased.......
OK i dont smoke but i am in the smoking section (cause the computer needs power right now) and i am watching people smoke and just dont get it there is one guy that is like got this expression on his face like there is nothing better than draging that toxic shit into his mouth and is staring up at the roof as he exhales and is like in total bliss.....man that must be some good smoke...and then wow these people here....and another thing is i dont listen to rap music much i dont like it but i decided to listen to Ludacris last night for all of you that do not know who he is....thats too bad....cause i aint gonna explain......but i listened to his word of mouth cd last night and laughed my ass off I love that disc...so funny its great when they are funny but most of the rap is SHIT. just my opinion you dont have to agree with it just accept it.
anyway now that this has turned into a long rambling sentance....i am really sorry unless yall like the post...than that is all good...but i am seriously trying to cut back on the ramblings.....but i hope yall enjoyed the day and we will write again laters.....ENJOY

and I even jumped out and quickly took a snapshot of the side of my filthy truck......man what a messit is so mabey tommorow i will pick up another shot of the whole truck but for today this is all you get so you ahd better enjoy it!!!
and i had a bottle of water around here somewhere///// now where did it go............fthere you are my precoius!!!execllent make me hydrated again!@!!!so good as it runs down the throat and makes that nice little chilly feeling as it hits the stomach and plop it goes into the hole mmmmmmmmmmm water makes me happy!!!
but other than that today was kinda slow...could not get into the groove this morning and pulled over and said "now granden just a half hour nap and all will be good" well an hour and a half later my body was like GET UP lets go you sleeping in nut case!!!! i looked at the clock and was like CRAP oh well that is why i give myself like an hour and a half incase something goes wrong all was good go to the place i was going on time so thats all that counts!! i love yellow
BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH thats just how i feel right now......need to get some sleep and think about driving tommorow and how long and agonising it is going to be......well i get this way I am finding out when i take time off.......the first few days are super long and seem to last FOREEVER......but i will get thru it even if it makes me more nutty than i allready am.....wait thats not possible..... NOPE its not......and yes i am looking for a name for the beast that i drive and if anyone has some opinions......and yes i will tell you if i think that they are stupid! leave them in the comments section PLEASE it would be much apreciated......
And JP It would be cool to have a fotopage soup thingy like your neighbourhood does that would be awesome but hard to get everyone from all over the place to get to one spot on one night.....but the thought is very cool!!!!!
But i am gonna stop rambling on and on and on and on and on and on oh my god am i wierd i just read this post and it blows my mind.....i hope that i still have some people that visit after this post is up......but if i drive yall away that ok cause i will still have myself to entertain EH!!Enjoy all
