Good kitty!


who says dogs are mans best friend?!

cats are also very loving and protective of their humans perhaps not as obedient and a bit more stubborn, but definitely protective and loyal

 

Pretty damn impressive and hell ya to the cat!

 

Because most cats are evil and poop in a box

That said, there are bad dogs too. Case in point just look at that video.

 

I ran two log books..................The one that would keep me out of trouble and then my real one. Like the time I made it from Long Island, NY to Ota, CA in 3 days in a truck that was governed at 60MPH. Took me 2 days sitting there for my log book to catch up. My dispatcher knew if they gave me a hot load I'd get it there. I miss my days out on the road sometimes. There is just something about waking up in a different place each day. I got to see a lot of country too while driving.

 

good kitty! saw this earlier posted by my local new station.

pretty sure, any animal, whether cat, or dog, would protect and/or fight off another animal if its owner was being attacked!

my wife and i can be playing with our kids, and both dogs will come after us because they think we are hurting the kids.

 

Sometimes ill have a buddy over.. ya know guys on guys showing strength.. the dog will start barking and get inbetween. On the other hand, that dog needs to be 1. checked for rabis 2. put down.

 

^ That dog #1 put down, #2 checked for rabies. K.

 

i have been properly corrected.

 

Oh yeah, I got to see a lot of the country too. Mostly at night while going down the road. When I did get to some delivery place in a new city I had never been to before it was almost always the worst part of town with all kinds of marginal's hanging around trying to make money off the driver.

It lost its appeal for me in just a few years. I used to love to drive anytime anywhere and when I found out I could drive and get paid for it I jumped at it.

The second time I woke up going into some town I had no clue where I was finished it for me. Stringing trips to get the freight where it needed to be in the time dispatch thought it should be there was just dangerous and stupid in the first place.The second time I nearly ran over a Pinto. Scared the hell out of both of us.

I was like you, hot or not the load would be there on time if anyone could do it I did.

I still have my small three ring binder with all the directions to get to different places once you would getto a city. It holds about an inch of paper and is full with very few sheets that are not completely full of my writing.

I had more than one log book too but never tried to run more than one at a time but when one would be screwed up enough that I couldn't make it look even partially right Iwould start a new one and just put in enough days to show how I got from the yard to where I was. I cut out whole days, sometimes more to make it look right.

Of course I had to turn in a correct log even though the company knew what runs I made and would only pay the route miles even if the route was under construction and you had to really drive sometimes hundreds of extra miles to get around it.There were times that the correct log was using several days in advance of what time it really was to be written so I could show the right amount of time for sleeping and stuff.

Oh I'd log it correctly but I might be using Thursdays page to log stuff I was actually doing on Tuesday

When my log book would get that messed up I would tell them to route me through the yard so I could go home for a few weeks and let it catch up. They just didn't give me any runs for a few days. I got real tired of being 'out there', just sitting some where that was not home, while this happened so I started telling them to route me through the yard or they would find a big empty truck sitting there in the morning {or as soon as I could get there} and I would be gone.

Of course the companies I drove for might have been worse about that than the companies you drove for. They kept me out for weeks on end the longest was ten weeks without a run through the yard or any time at home. That was when I quit that company. Most of the time it seemed like I was the only one who was actually moving any freight for them. There are a whole lot of cities and towns and even whole states that I have absolutely no desire to return,... to ever.

I would like to go back out to Pennsylvania and a few other states out east and spend some time looking around the civil war battle fields but that's about all. I'd also go back to San Francisco and would like to spend a week or so just looking around and some of the historic stuff there but that'sabout all.

I have absolutely no desire to ever go back to New York at all. Not the city nor the state. Spent way too much time not making money there.

 

I just found out I am part British and confirmed the part Irish...

Was tracing my ancestry to find out if I could possibly have ancestry to any UK country. I even traced it down to the house in Yorkshire, England. So I have some distant relatives in England. Now to work on getting official papers on the ancestry and citizenship of that ancestor, and I could quite possibly claim citizenship via ancestry if I wanted to.
