Call it a Weekend.!!
I decided to take the whole week off after a shitty cabinet delivery last Friday that held me hostage at a job site near Tampa FLA. For nearly 8 hours. The Detention, as it is called for billing purposes, ran me out of hours, Then my GPS ankle bracelet convicted felon like ELD (electronic logging device) A device that amounts to nothing more than a House Arrest Monitor. With no crimes commited. Millions of safe miles ran before being punished with this torture device.
Can You tell I am not thankful for the ELD at all?
It left me with just enough hours to leave the delivery site in rush hour traffic. To fight my way 30 miles. 50+ minutes to a rest area where I had to sit for another 10 hours so I ended up with over 26 hours invested in a delivery that should have taken less than ten. Just to satisfy a draconian set of one size fits all rules put in place by a big bloated government agency called...
The Fraudsters F.M.C.$.A.
The Federal Motor Carrier (un) $afety Administration
Nothing safe about this device. The $ $tands for profit. But then again, what having to do with government does not..?
Turkey Day.!!
They were armed and dangerous. They put up a good fight. But one took a hit.
That Twurkey just got...
Stuffed and Bagged.
All seventeen pounds/seven point seven kilos is now going in the oven.
Proof of Turkey...
3pm is the Target Time...
There will be Turkey carving. Stuffing Pulled. Mashed Taters and Gravy. Corn. Crescent Rolls. Chocolate Cake.
It is a simple ritual here @ The Pookyville Cat Ranch. No Cranberry Sauce, No Sweet Potatos, No Pie, No Friends, and No Family this year. The second year in a row ruined by an NWO, A Globalist World Dictatorship Cult set on divide and conquer methods of taking control of the worlds people thru fraud and fear.
But we will be thankful here, thankful for our pride of rescues. 9 of the coolest Kits, One (Lil' Guy) is a total asshole.
But soooo lovable at the same time. They keep things interesting here. They will each take turns begging for and recieving scraps. Thankful for a screened, bug free porch to enjoy a 70° sunny day on today.
But most of all we are thankful for our 26th Thanksgiving together. A few have been apart. In the early years of trucking. It is really horrible to spend a Thanksgiving/Christmas Holiday sitting in a truck stop parking lot. I have done it a few times. But I have also driven 20+ hours straight to be home. Now with the dictator like controls of the fraudsters electronics, there is no Coming Home, I do not even run in the deadly holiday traffic anymore. I just do what I have done this week. I stay home. I will try to play catch up next week. And I have come to realize since that drunk driver hit me in 2016.
The catch up will never happen. There will never come a time where we are...
Ahead of the Catch...
It will have to be a pot of gold at the end of the crypto rainbow. I have chased that pot'o'gold out on the highways for now in my 30th year. There is no pot of gold. Not out on the road.
Thankfully...
...it is time to Come Home to stay. That will happen soon.
This photo of @pooky-jax and I, it made the front cover of our local newspaper on Friday December 2, 2011. It was a Toys for Tots Charity Ride.
Happy Thanksgiving Day!!
Thanks For Stopping By.
