Protecting Yourself 101

ass+saver

Okay. So I had to pull over just to write this. I have been going to write this, I just have had one of those weeks and not been around the computer much. The comment I made on twitter about taking a nap in an abandoned truck-stop this afternoon made me think “Now is the time”. [...]

Pasta Salad

Another easy meal for me is pasta salad. Hubs and the boys love this, so I thought I would share it with you too. Yesterday it was 90+ degrees out, and I didn’t feel like going to too much bother making a meal. Instead, a fried chicken breast and cold pasta salad was on the [...]

Ducks In The Pool

Last night we got the swimming pool ready for the ducks. Since the pool is quite high compared to the ducks themselves, Hubs and I built a wooden ramp, and had the pool next to the concrete steps of the barn. It took them about 5 minutes of looking at the water and listening, as [...]

One thing I love about summer is summer food. Because I’m trucking a good share of the time, and because we spend a huge amount of time out of doors when I’m home, I love to make meals that are quick, yet good for you. My all time favorite is a cucumber sandwich. It’s light, [...]

A Duck Story

ducks+pea

I thought I would share this little story with you. It left hubs and I shaking our heads and saying “animals are so smart…” which we already knew, but the ducks just verified it for us! Last Saturday was a rainy day. We hung out at the house for a good part of the day, [...]

CVSA 2010 Bullshit

hubs+rosie

My Personal Mechanic Every year it happens. Every year around this time, all you hear when you walk into a truck stop a day or two before CVSA’s annual event is all the chatter going on about the big DOT 72 hour road check…. For my readers who are not truckers I will explain a [...]
