I am a addict

Yes, I am addicted to coffee. 2-3 large coffees during the AM to start, and then  coke or pepsi during the day. No water or even fruit juices either. Its stripping my teeth and the heartburn is killing me.


So I have a plan.


Week one!
Only brew 2 large coffees in the AM and only drink that during work. Once finished its water or pop like sprite, or 7-up.


week two!
Only brew 2 mediums and then water


week three
1 medium coffee then water!


stay with 2 cups in the AM only no coke or pepsi.


I will post to let you know


"Regular users of caffeine who try to quit, may experience increased anxiety, headache, irritability, and fatigue during the first few days of abstinence. These caffeine withdrawal symptoms are temporarily relieved by caffeine consumption which contributes to the habitual use of the drug. Caffeine is considered an addictive drug, and its regular use can lead to dependency. Some have suggested that its use may lead to the use of a stronger drug. "

checking your shorts....

Have you ever had a situation on the road which afterwards you took a deep snift to see if you messed your pants? Ya know that type of thing which if you had been just a little bit faster or slower or in a different position you would have had a major wreck?

We have all had those types of close calls.

Do you want to hear about them?

Justice will not be mine?

Biggest pet peeve of most people is those who you think cut you off in traffic. Well it happens way too much to us professional truck drivers out there. The typical driver in a car or small truck don't see what we do, and we don't see what they do. OK. But if you are driving where a truck driver can't see you, then well you are in a blind spot and we couldn't have cut you off if you were driving in that spot.

So leave 3-4 car lengths of space when passing a in front of a truck to ensure that they see you and can have time to react if you need the space. That's the space you need to be safe.

So this week, and wonderful little Infiniti G35 passed be to an on ramp to the 401. He left only inches between himself and the wall to slip in front of me. Well that same driver was pounding the trunk of his car about ten min later when I passed him... He had TWO flat rear tires and was stuck on the shoulder of the 401 WB.
