Watched those stupid Saints win SuperBowl 44 over my Colts in this room. Now I’m back in the truck, trying to keep warm in Fargo, ND. Enjoying the 1 degree temperature and the -16 wind chill…
1331 CST – Got a spot picked out in the TV room of this stupid truckstop, getting ready for the Superbowl. I got my laptop, I got something to drink, a few snacks and I place to camp and get a good view of the TV. I wish I was home instead, but I’m here in Fargo, watching it snow outside. More later, three and a half hours til the game.
1412 CST – Watching Blazing Saddles on AMC as “pregame.” There are so many “edits” I’ve a feeling this movie will be a half hour shorter. GAWD, I forgot how much I hated TV edits. “I paid you idiots to lay tracks, not jump around like a bunch of Kansas City!” Ugh…
1551 CST – One hour to the game, Blazing Saddles is wrapping up. Thanks…
1602 CST – Switched over to SuperBowl pregame after brief argument of whether the game was on CBS or ABC. I’m surrounded by rocket surgeons here…
1642 CST (OK, we get it, you’re in Central Time!) – Pregame already dealt the Katrina card with Drew Breese interview. Gak! They call him “Breesus!” scenes of hurricane aftermath during the SuperBowl… how nice. Thats the way to jack people up for the upcoming games. Big difference from Peyton’s interview. Makes Peyton look like a scumbag for JUST playing football. Lets talk sports here for a little bit, heh?
1723 – Let’s play the game already! Too many commercials, sob stories and singing!!
1731 – Saints win the coin toss, Colts win assured…
1742 – Colts up 3-0, scoring first with a FG after long drive. Betty White and Abe Vigoda in Snickers commercial rocked!
1749 – Adding commercial rating at the end, for my own amusement…
1801 – Colts up 10-zip with Garcon TD!
1817 – After Drew Brees SACK, The Saints put up 3 with a Field Goal. Still, it’s 10-3 Colts!
1841 – 4th down in the red zone, The Saints go for it…. AND FAIL!!!!!!
1850 – Saints get an FG right before halftime. 10-6 Colts! I need a smoke…
1929 – Saints turn an onside kick into a TD drive, 13-10 Saints… They still suck!!!
1938 – Colts TD takes then ahead 17-13!!
???? somewhere the Saint got 3 when I wasn’t looking…. hmmmm….
2020 – Saints for another TD and a controversial 2 point conversion, 24-17 Saints… Come on Tennessee Forehead bring us back to the lead!
2030 – AARRGGHH!!!!
2046 – And the Colts choke again. Saints win but THEY STILL SUCK! I’m gonna crawl back to my truck and cry myself to sleep…

Looking to spend the weekend out here instead of at home where I’m scheduled. I’ve got a Monday pickup so I’ll be watching the SuperBowl in Fargo, ND. Yea…
I can’t remember where I was when I took the picture! I told myself the name of the place over and over again and it might as well be printed in the backside of the moon for all o can remember… I only know it was in Louisiana.
You can’t see it very well, but these are trucks parked at the IdleAire stalls at this truckstop. But there is no service because the company went out of business.
IdleAire was a system of providing hot or cold air, 120v AC, TV and Internet access all through a device that plugged into the passenger side window. I think the idea was to help drivers be comfortable without then running the engines on their rig all night. I think it was too expensive and stopped using it after a couple of tries.
Trucking companies are trying to save as much money as they can and usually will not reimburse drivers for using IdleAire. So drivers didn’t use it and IdleAire went out of business.
Business is hard out there for everyone, not just truckers. IdleAire is yet another casualty.
I’m loaded up and heading south to deliver this dozer. As a specialized trucker I do many over-dimensional loads and this is all normal to me. Its 11′, 11" wide across the blade, but the weight and the height are legal.
To go through AL, I’ll have to get an escort. They must be skeered of big blades moving down their interstate…
I was sitting waiting for freight and this little image appeared inside my
truck. The sun is shining in through the sleeper’s vent and "spotlighting"
the little shelf I keep my glasses on. I shot a few pics with the trusty
Kodak (in RAW) before someone pulled up beside me in the truckstop and
blocked my little ray of sunshine.
I caught the Colts victory and AFC championship in the truckers lounge of a truckstop in Mississippi. Two hours (exactly) the TV changed channels to that stupid movie with Steve Martin and Queen Latifa. Right in the middle of a touchdown drive by the Colts.
Turns out the TV was programmed that way and it took a few minutes to get it reset. Meanwhile the Colts got another touchdown that no one in the room saw…
Spending the weekend at the Hook, still no freight til Monday. At least the
weather is decent and I’ve actually got the bug screens in my windows. It’s
like spring down here!
I’ve decided to start using my trusty Kodak P850 more for these shots. I may
have to be later in getting them uploaded, but the results beat the snot out
of my pitiful cell phone.
