Hello! Long haul truck driver, amateur drone pilot, truly bad banjo picker. Expect photography and long silences 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 He/Him and in a wonderful relationship with @starlightserpent 💓 (My opinions are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer)

Went through Newark New Jersey today. Christ that airport is huge. If you live in Newark, do you get used to the smell after a while or, like, is it just sort of omnipresent there in the back of your mind?

I mentioned off-handedly that there wasn't much going out this week and my dispatcher said we have majorly scaled back production because there's some uncertainty with the tariffs. That fuckwit Trump is directly hurting my paycheck.

If anyone likes The Elder Scrolls I suggest looking at Lantern of the Laughless Saint. It's a ScrollsLike that's done a good job of capturing that Morrowind feel. It's been a ton of fun. Still in early access, but it's fully beatable and has lots of content. Including caked up mushrooms.

Just had another one of my wild wasteland moments here out on the highwayHelping out a couple green horns that some jackass decided to stick in a truck and make them run team. One dude had 6 months experience, the other dude had 2 weeks.

I want the meta Ray-Ban glasses, I feel like they would be good to make trucking content, but I also don't want to be giving money to meta, and they tend to send certain messages about the wearer that I don't really want lol.

Did my delivery at Moosehead this morning, and I decided to park my truck, put on a nicer shirt, and take a taxi into St John to be a bit of a tourist for a few hours. Super excited to get some seafood.

I'm not sure which one it is, but one of the mechanics that my work dumps all of the air out of my seat every time he moves my truck. I know none of them are taller than me, which leads me to believe one of them is an absolute poser. Lol.

Driving through an intense storm yesterday I put on Luke Combs "ain't No Love in Oklahoma." And it definitely changed the mood. I felt excited at first, but then I remembered I haven't seen the second movie, and it didn't go so well for the tanker driver in the first one.
