Someone in Hivelandia was asking me how things were going with the recent upgrade of the eqipment I drive. Well readers I can honsestly say that the Trucks fine. Sammi Jo is loving it.
The Opertor is Fu@$k'd.
Friday night Saturday mornings trip to pick up a preloaded trailer 187 miles north of my home base in Lake City, FL. Was probably one of the roughest trip I ever have taken. Just an 8 hour turnaround that took almost 13.
Here is what I went thru since Friday at 1pm.
We sat down at Marion Street Bistro that is now NO longer my fave place to eat. Horrible service and wings were undercooked. By 7 pm I was in the fetal position in extreme pain.
I have sciatica and am in the middle of a flare up. So the back pain with a belly full of what felt like battery acid and broken glass was brutal. Add that to a case of walking pneumonia that even my ivermectin is not helping with. Maybe whatever killed Kyle Busch of NASCAR fame is in my chest?
I was projectile vomiting in the kitchen sink by 8 pm
I had to leave at 4 am. I tried unsuccessfully to sleep. I took a very hot shower. It did not help. I left out of here sometime just after midnight.
I only made it to the NB scale house. (25 miles) The pain was unbelievable. I went in and puked my guts out @3:47 in the restroom. I got quite a bit of it out. I made the trip to Vidalia and somehow back again. I went the back roads 129/441 due to holiday traffic as to have less interaction with other vehicles.
I layed down after I ate some toast and saltine crackers shortly after I got here yesterday at noon. I just got up. It is 8 am here.
Yes I almost called to come to the scalehouse and take me to the E.R. Maybe I would get lucky and get the 1 out of 100 white coat so called doctors that would help and not just pimp me some big pHarma drugs that I can not take because I drive and have random drug screening.
Kyle was found on the floor of his bathroom coughing up blood and passing out. Cause of death was pneumonia that quickly went septic they say due to his driving and the G-forces and elevation changes.
Uhhhhmmmm... Hello!
What do I do for a living again?
What do I do for a living is G forces and elevation but @ 100 mph slower.
Now coughing is like being stabbed with a knife in the rib cages due to the several bouts of throwing up... 😡🤬😡
Perfect storm here. Sciatica flare up mixed with a killer walking pneumonia and top it off with what was most likely food poisoning. I must be a tough old fucker cuz I am still standing... For Now
Thanks for Riding along coughing up a lung and throwing up with a disabled broken backed on this W.E. #weekend-engagement number... uh? Hey Kermit
Help an old trucker out here. We all good?
