i will be honest, i need a break. i had a tough week. the shows were great. we were in mississippi and then arizona and i cant remember but i think it was florida. anyway, the shows were good but i had some dumb things to deal with.
you know how you feel when you are really tired and hungry and things are not going right. i had that this week. it wasnt all bad but i had a few times that i needed a vacation. after many late nights and early mornings in 3 different times zones it began to catch up to me. here is why my thursday was crappy.
first of all i didnt get much rest. then i had to drive back home. no big deal until i got to the truck stop. i began to fill up my tank by scanning my credit card and activating the pump. before i could put the nozzle into the tank something really bad happened. the nozzle wasnt connected to the hose. therefore diesel fuel spurted out like a fire hydrant. i couldnt figure out how to get to an emergency shut off switch. i looked for it and couldnt find it. so i tried to reach the pump without getting drenched with diesel. it was spraying 6 feet into the air and pouring everywhere. i finally got it shut off but i had made such a mess. they had to shut down the lanes and get a clean up crew to clean it up so that it would be safe. im glad i wasnt a smoker or i would have been scorched.
4 hours later i was driving in a parking lot. i realized i was going the wrong direction so i decided to back up and turn around. i looked in my mirrors and put it into reverse. i was driving the big 1 ton dually(which is a very big truck). as i reversed i heard something crunching. i thought it was an aluminum can or something. i was convinced that it was something on the ground. well i checked my mirrors again and still didnt see anything. as i began to back up again i realized there had to be something so i paused. at that moment i saw a lady. yep, there was a car back there. the car had pulled up so close to me that it couldnt be seen by my mirrors. i was so confused about how the car had gotten behing me and me not see it. it was a very small car and i have a very large truck.
anyway, the lady was upset of course and i was confused about why i never saw her or even felt the collision. there was no damage to my big truck but her car was a mess. i still cant believe it.
i feel like it was just one of those weeks. im still alive and well. i am just very very tired. it would be good for me to get a break from people and work, and rest and hit the reset button.
i am so glad i am home. how bout you? tell me some good news bout you
