Need some cheese to go along with my
whine. My co-driver partner does numerous Santa gigs in December. I go flex
mode to accommodate his schedule. I’m feeling my age tonight and am looking
forward to five days off.
This has been a tough month on the route.
50+ mph winds, nasty snow storms, and wind chill factors down to -40° F haven’t
been fun.
I’m an old Rocky Mountain lad and we learn to
cope with this growing up. Cows must be milked, stock must be fed, and
transport must go through. Next summer I
will have 60 years as a licensed driver behind me and I was driving without a
license at an earlier age. But damn, I don’t recover as quick!
My employer recognizes our challenge and
puts the best snow tires available on the car. Fine, until some fuckup takes
the keys. This morning I had to take a backup vehicle with all season tires.
Aarg!
Not everyone minds the weather.
My supervisor views me thusly.
And now I’m going to have some wine with
my whine.

I'm dang glad you are getting a few days off!
I really need it.
Sleep, play a little bit, go out and get a nice meal and maybe see a movie. You deserve it.
Good advice.
Oh, THAT had to be a fun drive... Yes, enjoy the down time, and Happy New Year to you!
Per my co-driver, I-25 was closed North of Cheyenne this morning. Zero visibility in blowing snow.
I was listening to the weather channel today, and finally got caught up on the big picture.
It's our first winter here, and I'm keeping close watch....
Same as Northern Illinois. Don't let your gas tank get below 1/2. Bad weather can come too fast for any forecast.
