Aperture Flash Flies Again

A hose going from trailer a, connecting to a valve at the top of trailer b, with a second hose going off of screen

A zoomed out shot of my truck and trailer, with one hose leading into the pump house from underneath, and another hose leading towards the customer silo

Had to go rescue a load when one of my co-workers stopped working. Essentially we're drawing into my trailer's pump, and using that suction to offload.
He was lucky that I was in the area.

After about 10 minutes of Googling I'm really irritated that they've made it illegal for me to sell my kidney in most of the modern world.

Not everything needs a reaction.

I just got passed by a champagne colored Subaru with a surprisingly large bumper sticker that read "PRE-MARITAL SEX IS STUPID AND RISKY"
Imagine having that be the take you want to be publicly known for.

Ok but Skate not Masturbate is objectively hilarious.

A very small knife on a small key chain sitting on a small leather holster. The handle is green wood, with brass accents. The blade is iron with small flourishes. A normal bottle cap is next to it for scale.

Still can't get over the tiny lil knife my boyfriend, @starlightserpent.bsky.social gave me. It's way sharper than you would expect.

A large white shower stall with a large shower head.

A large metal tag that says "Irving BIG STOP" with a symbol for a shower.

A large metal tag that just reads BIGSTOP.

Honestly, one of the nicer truckstop shower I've seen, at the Irving BigStop near Lewiston Maine.
Boy howdy, my inner crow wanted to steal the Bigstop shower keychain. #LongHaulLife

Years later I see things like this and I'm glad I actually paid for your music when I was younger.

Pulled over at a rest area in Northern Vermont that was so dark and so quiet that turning my truck back on and pulling onto the highway almost felt repulsive and like an act against the night itself.

A wasp sits on the head of a banjo, with a blurred out truck in the background.

Wasps swarming our drop lot and customers is a sign that summer is ending, thankfully. You got to get real comfortable with the wasps when hauling what is essentially liquid sugar. They seem to understand that if they sting us here, poison appears, and for the most part leave us alone. #LongHaulLife

A 10 piece chicken McNugget pack with a picture of a car with the license plate reading "BUDDIES" with various chicken McNuggets wearing different hats at outfits inside it and the words "your 10 McNuggets were specifically delivered from this gaggle of buddies on the road trip across Mcdonaldland

This, uh, this doesn't make me feel better about eating them, McDonald's.

It keeps getting heavier!

A Chevy dashboard showing rain falling on the windshield

Just started dumping down rain soon as I got to work. I still need to get all my shit inside my work truck :( #LongHaulLife

A very tired white man sits in a pickup truck holding a small pride flag.

Sad I wasn't able to go to Ottawa #Pride this year. I was working yesterday, and just got too burnt out from work to go today. My friends seemed to have a blast though. I'll definitely make time for it next year.

The pain of going from Toronto to a small town is there is no good shawarma here. :(

It was so bad! I stopped playing because of it, and my fingers went soft!!!

Lmao that's really funny

A dirty five string banjo sits on a workbench.

The armrest from the banjo, now having Ben sanded down.

The armrest from the banjo now bright red and hanging from a tree.

A five string banjo sits on a bed with a bright red armrest.

The armrest on my banjo got weirdly corroded and was giving me a rash, so I pulled it off, sanded it down, and gave it a fresh coat of paint. I think it turned out quite nice :)

This is a "No LT hate zone."
Leave me and my International tractors alone.

God, this game looks so COOL
and the fact that it's the same make, model and *almost* same trim package as my truck just makes it seem all the cooler.
It dips right into my trucking fantasies right there at the end hahah. #LongHaulLife

Oh damn! I had no idea that was a thing!

Cheater ground? I've never heard of that. Is it just cutting the thrid pin off? Lol.

It never even crossed my mind to look for an adapter. Thank you!

Is it possible to buy ungrounded appliances in Canada anymore? I want a new fan and all the plugs in my room are two prong.

A large hunk of rectangular metal that sits upon a pallet upon a forklift. A kingpin is in the center with some yellow writing on the plate.

In case you're wondering, this is the plate that's often used to keep trailers attached to the tractors. It's a beefy hunk of metal and I've never personally seen the plate or the kingpin itself fail. #LongHaulLife.

If someone has decided to explore their sexuality because of someone in particular I call it being "spatula'd" by them, because they've flipped the person's sexual orientation in some way, like an omelette or pancake. It's like being spooned, but a different kitchen utensil.

Yeah, DOWN to Maine.
I'll be traveling southeast for most of the trip.
