Truck.Net - The Next Evolution in Trucking

 "On the Road"  with the original florida kid

Hello again fellow truckstars! It's Week 33 and......

 

Grandma, Barbie, Pup the wonder dog and the whole gang here at the ranch say a big cowboy howdy "HEY!"

 

KITCHEN TABLE TALKIN'- Alright, so, I'm not sure where we're at with the nationwide shut down, I haven't heard much lately, it's kind of gettin' skimmed over in the headlines but there are still pockets of activity across the country. I wonder where our radio heroes have been in all this.........probably afraid of repercussions from their employers and sponsors and waiting to see which way the wind blows so they can jump on the big gravy train and act like they were there all along.....hmmmmm....someone(that means us) needs to keep this in the headlines and try to get some organization rolling. Truckers started it and truckers need to(as usual....) lead the way, and believe me when I tell you the Public is WITH US ON THIS ONE - GOT IT???? I know the public,(and by public I mean yours and mine next door neighbors, including the little old lady down the street whose husband died and can barely afford to feed herself and now can't afford to go anywhere either.....) in general, has even started their own little protests, I've seen it in the news and heard it on the radio, they're definitely on our side. The longshoremen in California are planning to shut down the ports(awesome!!....) and the localized driver protests are continuing...... Sooooooo what's it going to be?? (you've noticed fuel prices rising day by day I'm sure......)

Speakin' of the presidential(rat) race, Obamas friend, Reverend Wrong, talks a lot about how he hates white people but....he looks like a white guy to me, at least he looks more white than black, don't you think?....(don't tell him that.......then he'll have to start hating himself..).....uhh..don't we have any other choices? I'm sick of looking at all of them.....I'll vote for Arnold.....or one of the bullriders like Justin Mcbride or Ross Coleman......What happened to real men?....Don't see em' in politics anymore....I guess you have to get neutered and buy a five gallon jar of vaseline before you can run a corporation or run for office......or be a just plain greedy person who has no problem turning his back on his countrymen......or some crazy racist who drives 2 Mercedes and lives in a million dollar home(that right.....)just drumming up business at the expense of his own people............what'cha think truckstar?

Well, I guess the mere fact that I'm workin' should be enough(uhhh......).....and I Thank the Good Lord for that, and, the many readers of my blog and their support, which I humbly Thank You all for. It sure helps........I still think we need a National Truckers Prayer Day..........if we have nothing else in common, but a belief in God, if we had that together than nothing else would matter.....and I don't think truckers would get treated the way we do either........okay....so I'm a dreamer.........

 

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT- I know we've all seen and heard about food ads that say "juicy" this or juicy that, stuff like steaks and burgers, well I'm here to tell you that this juicy stuff is a load of crap. You don't want juicy anything, why?, because the juice they are talking about has fat, blood, steroids, anti-biotics, bacteria, other kinds of growth hormones(there's dozens). It's pure poison, I'll say it again, IT'S PURE POISON and in fact it's the worst part of eating meats of any kind especially when you consider the fact that the meat buyers who own these stockyards where they buy the cows alive and put them in pens and feed them any kind of crap they can shovel into the animals mouth, and I mean anything....I hope the laws stopping them get passed...it's where mad cow disease is spread from.......so you're telling me you trust greedy business men not to poison you? Hmmmmm...............and don't forget to get a good whole food organic vitamin, meal replacement Muscle Milk protein drinks and MetRx Colossal Protein Bars and stop eating chips and other greasy fatty salty foods in between meals, watch where you touch door handles and other places, even money is dirty, get a large bottle of the new Lysol Anti-Bacterial wipes, the ones that kill the flu virus, I use em' whenever I get back into the truck from a rest stop, truckstop or store. Okay? Listen to me, try the vitamin, protein bar and drink thing for a week, eat more salads and leaner meats, watch the cheese, then see how you feel....okay truckstars?

 

 Okay that's it for this week I'm sorry this thing is late again, I don't have a laptop yet otherwise I'd write it from the road, and, I'm exhausted, (I watched a multi car pile up happen right in front of me at 3am the other night.....) I have some chores to do around the house here before I go off again, need to change my truck oil too.....

STAY CALM no matter what happens out there on the road...............

 

The next few issues will bring back all the different departments everyone seems to enjoy so much, including the Wanted:Heroes, Health Department, Cowboy Corral, Jukebox, and Truckstar Tech. and a few new dept's., like The History Book. (I like history, not just trucking history but American history too. I found out there are a lot of Civil War relic hunters, for example, and I find this kind of thing very interesting.)

Also a new section I'm calling - TRUCKSTAR KIDS - (check out these sites for kids, http://www.howtoons.com/   and   http://www.truckerbuddy.org/)

I'll be writing a weekly series on the exciting adventures of Johnny Duke, and his computer wiz kid pal, Tommy "the Hacker" Jenkins, as they solve crime mysteries, while on the road with Johnny's trucker Dad.

 JD and TJ are 12 year olds who want to be a trucking industry detectives when they grow up.....

The adventure begins when Johnny thinks he sees a suspicious vehicle, an older model Ford van, white, dirty, following them from a hazmat pickup in Miami, Dad says it's nothin' but Johnny and Tommy think otherwise.......Tommy's runnin' the plates...don't ask how..........

 

 

 Don't forget about abused kids, and our impoverished neighbors in West Virginia !!

Don't forget too, truckstars - if you're lookin' for a critter - I highly recommend you start lookin' at:

www.aspca.org and www.hsus.org (humane society) I see lots of drivers with little buddies on the road, I like the Jack Russells......

DON"T FORGET! Check out www.laptop.com   You really need to start thinkin' about gettin mobile web access you guys, seriously. Just Google "refurbished notebooks" and you'll find, usually factory sites, with really good deals. You want mobile web access capability, upgradeable ram, a big screen, a built in web cam amd mic, if not,then just buy a headset with a mic.The Skype.com download is free and it's dirt cheap to make calls on, I used it all day yest. I think I called everyone I've ever met, I even called myself(alright you in the back...I heard that) I called myself to check the voice quality, which was great.................. QVC and HSN also have a good selection of notebooks with great features AND you can break up payments on for 4 to 5 months too! More on this next week! I'm hearing Sprint has the best mobile web network......I'll let you know....T-Mobile too, AT&T?? Don't know yet.....

 

Well alright - that's it for this week truckstars! 

Pray for us all, our nation, the world and the lost..... and try not to worry!!

God hears prayers, trust me........I know......

Watch what you eat and watch the road !!

As always I want you to remember - I LOVE YA AND I'M PRAYIN' FOR YA!!!!

 

So - play nice, drive safe, and pull it on home...........until next week -
