I've had to block every single locally owned dog poop clean up business because they constantly fill the local groups with AI generated pictures of literal dog shit. God what a stupid time to be alive.

One of my biggest gripes about buying a Tushy bidet is all the shit puns in the marketing and instructions. And I don't mean shit-tier puns. I mean puns about shit.

The buns actually turned out perfectly. Made Blackened chicken sandwiches with garden fresh bruschetta and balsamic glaze.

Furthermore, if you think I'm somehow more qualified or a better trucker simply because I'm a white dude who was born here with a rural background, you can fuck right off, you ain't my brother. Experience, diligence, and practice is what makes the gear jammer, not background. #Trucking

The other day somebody called me "one of the last white Canadian truckers." Like it was some kind of compliment. That shit annoys the hell out of me. Please don't use me as a White Knight for your racist bullshit.

Went through Newark New Jersey today. Christ that airport is huge. If you live in Newark, do you get used to the smell after a while or, like, is it just sort of omnipresent there in the back of your mind?

I mentioned off-handedly that there wasn't much going out this week and my dispatcher said we have majorly scaled back production because there's some uncertainty with the tariffs. That fuckwit Trump is directly hurting my paycheck.

My Peterbilt didn't have the proper permits for this run so work stuck me in somebody else's truck. Feels like I'm driving a spaceship. #LongHaulLife

If anyone likes The Elder Scrolls I suggest looking at Lantern of the Laughless Saint. It's a ScrollsLike that's done a good job of capturing that Morrowind feel. It's been a ton of fun. Still in early access, but it's fully beatable and has lots of content. Including caked up mushrooms.

I want the meta Ray-Ban glasses, I feel like they would be good to make trucking content, but I also don't want to be giving money to meta, and they tend to send certain messages about the wearer that I don't really want lol.

Just put my raincoat back on, and it was raining so hard earlier today when I pre-tripped my trailer that I just found, hours later my pockets were actually full of water lol.

The cool thing about servicing your own equipment is, at the end of the day, it'll either return to being whisper quiet, or it will be non-functioning.

Y'all I am so satisfied. Look at that lobster bisque. Absolutely blew my shoes off. I think that might be the most delicious bisque I've ever had, and the cheesecake gave me a physical reaction.

I can clean up a bit in the truck if I need too. Glad I brought one of my nicer work shirts.

Did my delivery at Moosehead this morning, and I decided to park my truck, put on a nicer shirt, and take a taxi into St John to be a bit of a tourist for a few hours. Super excited to get some seafood.

I'm not sure which one it is, but one of the mechanics that my work dumps all of the air out of my seat every time he moves my truck. I know none of them are taller than me, which leads me to believe one of them is an absolute poser. Lol.

Driving through an intense storm yesterday I put on Luke Combs "ain't No Love in Oklahoma." And it definitely changed the mood. I felt excited at first, but then I remembered I haven't seen the second movie, and it didn't go so well for the tanker driver in the first one.

I've been wearing generic jeans for about as long as I can remember, and and they don't do much for my figure. Yesterday I actually went out and bought some real brand name denim. Hoping it was worth it.
