To Keep You Warm On A Cool Fall Night

Enjoy.

Cooling Down

Slept with the windows open last night for the first time in a long time.  Felt good, but woke up freezing with the house at a dick-shrinking 54 degrees.  Good cuddling weather.  The kinda weather you wanna rub your morning boner against the hairy pair of cheeks asleep next to you.

Summer Heat

Face it, with the temperatures as high as they've been. (At least here on the East coast) you're going to see a whole bunch of shirtless men driving their big trucks. If you're lucky, you've got your camera with you, or your cellphone has a point-n-shoot button on it. Then you can really capture those special moments featuring those overheated men. I'll be on the lookout for photos, and if you see any yourself, please send them my way to share with the rest of the group.

For No Reason At All !

You ever come across what you feel is the perfect picture on the web? I just did! I love nothing more than the average blue collar man who still takes time out to relax and have fun. That's what this picture reminds me of - some guy who works at a job, but can still get out and get silly with his buddies. Key elements here: farmer's tan, beefy not defined, and genuinely happy. Enjoy, fellow chasers!

You just gotta love the beach!

Massive Volvo Recalls!

Just saw how Volvo recalled a bunch of trucks. What a mess! This is gonna screw up so many folks.

Bye Bye Logbooks

Well, it only took the trucking industry fifteen years, but it looks like we'll soon start to see more use of electronic logbooks. Instead of drivers having to play secretary everytime they stop, now they'll be able to log in their exact time on these e-logbooks.

The downside? Most cops don't yet have the technological ability to read these e-logs reports, so they'll have to manually figure out a driver's hours instead of having to go by paper printouts. Drivers aren't given names to log on to these things, but instead are given numbers (to protect them from identity theft!)

That's great, and all, but what's to stop driver number 1234 from logging on as driver 5678 just so he can drive longer? Hmmm... go figure.

It's not like we haven't had the technology needed to make these e-logs possible for a while now. We've had gps tracking, cell phone communications and wireless internet. I can't believe it took someone this long to put all these things together and just now come up with a gadget to make full use of all this technology to make a driver's life easier. To think it took a government mandate to enforce this sort of tracking and timekeeping. Sheez!

Slim Pickins

After asking you guys what sites you use to hook up with truckers, it became evident there's little to no help out there for truckers and chasers to hook up. The few sites that let you hook up are more interested in your money than in your sex life. You can't blame some of them, though. I know personally that it's very expensive to host a website with the right tools for truckers and chasers to hook up. Nonetheless, it's even more expensive for the average guy to dish out a monthly fee for some site that gets little to no traffic, and doesn't really help anyone hook up.
Is there something wrong with the web and truckchasing online? Maybe not.

More to come...

MESSING AROUND IN THE WOODS

FRIENDLY ALERT / REMINDER

When getting on your knees to give head out in the woods (and yes, we still do that despite Windows 7) be sure to protect yourself against bug bites. ESPECIALLY against ticks that can carry the very dangerous LYME DISEASE.

Spray your jeans with any bug spray that has DEET in it, and don't even think about wearing shorts just because they give you easy access. (It gives bugs easy access, too!)

You think you're not at risk from bugs just because you're the one getting head? Think again.

Check yourself for bugs and disease-carrying ticks when you get out of any grassy or wooded areas. The sooner you spot those critters on you, the better your chances of not catching Lyme Disease or some other infection.

How's The Fuel In Your Town?

I'm lucky we live in a city where the cost of fuel is almost always relatively lower than the national average. Diesel has its moments, however, especially because we have a couple of big truck stops in the area. I was remembering some great tips to think about when filling up your vehicle. Do you remember any? Hit me back and leave your comment.

Here's my favorite:
* Never fill up where the fuel tanker is making its delivery.
Why? The fuel being pumped into the underground tanks stirs up all the dirt and impurities to make them mix with the rest of the cleaner fuel. All that polluted fuel goes into your gas tank!
