Back to the grind. 2008

The pic is of the defrost pipe from the fridge unit which has frozen overnight.
This is going to be short and sweet as really tired and need to be up early.
I suffer from S.A.D. What happened to the 80f heat of a few days ago?
Drove through North Dakota on New years eve and was subjected to a severe weather warning not to go outdoors unless I was wearing clothing to cover all flesh !!!!
With the windchill (40mph winds) the temp was going to drop to -40 to -50C and a serious risk of frostbite was possible. Crikey !!!
Have got problems with the design of the night heaters in the truck as they are rubbish. If they are intaking air at -20 how in gods name are they meant to keep the truck warm ? Woke this morning and the can of Pepsi on the dash was -2.2c, it had bloody ice crystals in it. Now I know that I was nice and warm in bed but at some point I have to get up and put on clothes and shoes at the same temperature.
Probably tomorrow I am going to give all the details of my recent trip such as hours worked,mileages and such like as this has been a decent trip.
I received an abusive comment yesterday calling me a liar (to put it politley) regarding the hours I work, the way the company treats drivers and the wages I earn. The whole purpose of this blog is to give my family and friends a way of keeping up with what I am doing and where I am. It is not intended as an H&R recruitment campaign. Granted I may offer titbits of information that may help others (when and if) they decide to come over to Canada but in no way do I intend to influence anybody. Maybe the person who sent the message should do the same as I did and sell everthing that they have worked for, for the last 23 years, say goodbye to everyone that they love and give it a go instead of moaning about the wages that they are not earning because they are not here. Money is not everything you knob !!!. I work to live, not live to work !!
This is Canada and America. Trust me when I say that over here I am a very wealthy man. !!!!
