Duck Pond Redneckery


Hey where you been?
Layin' low. I said before, I gave up arguing with truckers for Lent. Had my fill of bickering, hazing, insults and condescending bullshit, usually from alleged experienced professionals, aimed at new drivers, often based on the company the new driver works for, the type of truck the new driver is using and/or whether/how much the truck is governed.

There are people I like and respect in this industry, but there are also a lot of elitist, hateful, unhelpful douche-noodles who think the type of trailer they haul or the engine brand under the hood determines the caliber of driver behind the steering wheel. I got really, really sick of that. So, rather than try to fight it, I stepped away.

I'm here now to show solidarity and support to Duck and Mrs. Duck. Also, to jab a few ribs with friends and make sure Glenn is getting his daily requirement of ravioli.

Understood but, we miss you here.

Who's Lent? New boyfriend?
 
They had her up walking a little bit today.

A nurse said sometimes insurance won't pay for the transport to the rehab center so I just came home so I can fix the van's exhaust in the morning and haul ass back up there.

I drove into a thousand foot deep canyon in the middle of one of these well maintained Illinois roads Monday morning and when I landed at the bottom, it got loud. Pipe broke right in front of the muffler so it's just cat-back right now. I can smell exhaust whenever I stop. I ain't putting her in the van with exhaust fumes.

But before I left I used that cell phone holder thingy I made to take some 5 second time exposures of the hospital and I-290.

That green glow is a reflection of the lights on the hospital bed.

If Sarah tries to get out of the bed, that green light turns red and starts flashing, an alarm goes off and three nurses run into the room.
