HELP!!!!! (otr bug)
#11
well i think the bug is coming to its end. About once a year i get this way. I was talking to my girlfrind who is not going for this idea at all. Plus when i park that truck at the end of the day i cant wait to get in my pickup and burn rubber up out of there to go home. Plus i been reading alot of older posts on here at CAD about OTR and all the BS you guys do go threw. I know i would not put up with it. My girlfriend also told me when i worked at venezia there was a reason i only stayed 3 weeks. Cuz of the long hours and low pay. So i think i just might stay local after all.
2marrow when i end my day i am going to sit in the truck and act like i am at the coolie campground and not go home and see what that feels like. I know i will change my mind. Thanks for everyones input. When i get the bug next year i will make another post. But before my life is done i will do OTR at some point (i think).

Drift off to some form of sleep. Supplemented by the rattling of the 500hp motor under the hood, the roar of the reefer parked beside you on the left, and the aromatic smell of diesel exhaust pumping directly in to your air intakes from the car hauler parked on the other side with 'grass-burner' exhaust. All restroom needs will either be performed in a Mountain Dew bottle, out the door, or will require dressing and returning to the truck stop and the spic and span restrooms. The alarm clock (the pleasantly named 'SCREAMING MEANIE') will be the pleasant kiss on the cheek for you to arise from your coolie slumber. Pee out the door, or into the Mountain Dew bottle and your ready for the next day. Oh, I almost forgot. I'll be happy to take care of the ole girlfriend Mack. No problem coming over and hanging out while checking in on her everyday while you are gone. No problem if I get too tired to drive home and go ahead and crash at her place is there? See ya in a couple of weeks my brother Mackman. I'll keep everything (everyone) in check while you are out hoboing around. Oh yes. Finally. You will probably need to sell off some assets rather quickly. The money that you bring home will not nearly be as much as you brought home (every day, brought it home every day, GET IT) as your road expenses are going to be unbelievable. Good luck my brother. Everything is in good hands back on the home front. :P :twisted:

Come on now, get into the 'lifestyle', go BBR all the way! Live life on the road, wear your clothes for weeks at a time, strategically buy your fuel based on where you want to shower, and eat that lovely heat lamped food. Listen to the chitter chatter of 'I'm not wearing any panties' and 'bobba bouey', and even the occasional name calling war with lots of threats of whoopin someone, as well as the 'lizard sightings' over the CB all night.
There is no other way to exist outside of it

Also, I prefer a widemouth gatorade bottle for my pee jug, but if the hole on a mountain dew bottle will accomodate, I won't judge And 500 hp? I wish, try 475
