I'm done

[8978]

Came home on Thursday last week and decided to park my truck for good. The lab I use to work at has been asking me to come back so I said yes today. I miss cooking and especially miss being 190 pounds and in shape. I will still be on this forum but now as an arm chair expert know it all.

If anyone knows someone looking for a package deal on my truck, trailer and all the goodies pass it on.

Well. Congratulations, I think..

What kind'a numbers are you thinkin' on the rig?

He won't get much if it still has the Kenworth logo on it. Nobody is going to believe it's a W900.

And that "hope and change" lettering across the back ain't gonna help either.

He is in the NorthEast, remember..

Yes, congratulations works. I've been out this time for over 2 months before coming home. I cranked everything up in my house, bought a bunch of food and cooked a lot. Had shots of tequila and sat in Mr. Chair and said, I'm done.

The lab called last week asking me to come back. They are converting an embedded system I did over from Windows CE to Linux which I've wanted them to do for a long time and now their ready.

I have no idea on the truck and trailer. I'm going to have it washed and cleaned up and maybe post some pictures. I don't need money in case many of you haven't guessed. I have other income or I would have starved a long time ago. I did 44,000 miles in 2015.

I did send an email to Bored Insane but never heard back from him. I would really like the truck to go to someone young and mechanically inclined. It does need some work but has been working up until Thursday last week when I parked it.

My mechanic where I park is showing interest. I'll do a major write up with pics soon.

I was about to ask the same thing, then I remembered something about ...07Pete379..? Memory's a bit fuzzy...big Southern dude, if'n I recall..

Word gets around pretty quickly around here.

I had that pneumonia before Christmas also. That kicked my butt. It takes a long time to recover even after it's gone. I couldn't walk 100' without needing to sit down or take a break.

Sounds like a great choice for you. Given the same scenario, I'd probably make the same decision, mainly to be home with family everyday.

I was just thinking. I'll end up the same as before. Go into work same time. Get out the same time. Go to gym and lift weights for an hour then ride my bike 18 miles around my big loop. Cook dinner, have a few shots then go to bed and repeat. Go to garage on weekends and watch them work on heavy equipment

You probably said it before, but why did you leave this job?

 

[Sinister]

Is it this clean?

No the interior is covered with pizza crusts, BBQ sauce and mustard stains and smells like rotten cheese because he's a fat disgusting slob.

And what's even more pitiful is he'll probably like this post.

Skateboard talks so much about his days at that lab it seems like he'll be happier and healthier doing that than trucking.
