Yep I said it, I have been humbled.
As some of you know I am trucking now in the interior of BC. I came down here thinking ahhhh, nice short, mild winters.
Right!
Not a day goes by I don't wish for the North. I've never spent so much time slipping and sliding around. The excess traffic sucks!
I came down 2 hills today with my tactor and 2 trailers each pointing in their own different direction. I nearly freakin died of heart failure. I was driving cautiously!
It used to be if the drives kicked out on me on a hill or I spun a bit it was a bit exciting, woot the road is a bit slick today. Now....? If I go straight the whole way up a hill I'm like... whoa.. that was weird?!
Not to make light of what I did up North and what Wildkat still does on a daily basis, but its a different set of challenges, some that I would choose over what I have now ANY day.
I still may end up back home one day, and when I do, I will GLADY hit the road up there and feel a hell of a lot safer doing so!
Signed,
Longing for 40 below.
