Was hilarious that “money pit” was out even before you was gone..😁 , yep the glasses are goners. Opie is probably loving all moms attention, and Jax is going through grumpy old man..😁 you will go back in the groove of the trucking world, and after a two week hiatus.. Just a side note: my Dad passed away this morning.. died in his sleep at home..it’s hard and go through times of crying, but I have my family to lean with them for me and me for them… thank you for all the well wishes and prayers over the past year, I appreciate it more than I can express 😩🥺🥺🥺🦮🐕🦺🦮

With what occurred within the first ten minutes of this video, I would have thought you would have just gone back to bed. At least the glasses weren't glued to your face. The real world is very unfortunate. Common sense is very rare. Take Cocoa with you. When you're getting frustrated, you can enjoy something silly. I find myself needing to find and create humor more every day. Please stay safe, and God bless.

I have astigmatism. Finally got glasses a couple of years ago and it makes so much of a difference. I can still "see" enough to pass an eye exam, but just barely. For me it's everything further away is out of focus but something right in front of my face is clear as can be. Of course, one eye is a little weaker than the other so it can throw off my balance if I'm not careful. You talking about your glasses made me have a quick little panic attack wondering where my glasses went. They were on my face being used lol.

Just a suggestion Kurt? When you get your next pair of glasses, get a set or two of clip on amber lenses to go on top of them. They make driving at night and especially in inclement weather so much easier on the eyes from my experience! (oh and they help cut the glare of oncoming high beam traffic too)

Maybe I was very fortunate . . . when I was driving in the 1970's ice was only a challenge a few times. Going west on I-80 in eastern PA, there is that time when rounding a long curve, slowly, proved beneficial. Wisely, a Greyhound Scenecruiser parked on the side of the highway due to the ice. All was well until I noticed the back end of the trailer was drifting towards the bus. Great concern! Gently I applied the trailer brakes and I'll be a son-of-a-gun if the trailer didn't straighten out much to my relief. I think that is one of those times when, as has been said by others, I'd rather be lucky than good. Yeah, one cannot be cautious enough, better to call a halt than to press ones' luck. Glad the weather favored you and your semi, happier still nothing bad occurred. You're a very fine and sensible trucker, no doubt. Be well.

And from what it looks like the water main just has a crack so what they will most likely due is dig it up and put a wrap around clamp around the main to cover up the crack then tighten it down. It the main was completely broke you would know it lol. That’s nothing major and won’t affect water pressure
