I liked the movie. I'll have to look for the book. Thanks for the recommendation.

Time for the "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells. A classic.

"Six bad husbands and six unhappy wives" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Fictional humor. Short book. Only about an hour long. Kind of funny, the title is misleading.

Arrr. Me thinks if I tried over water, I would find meself in Davy Jones locker.

The power of Mother Nature

I'll look for it. Thanks. Librevox is very low on data use and battery drain, I can listen all day without plugging up to charge and you don't download the books, each chapter loads as needed. You can download the whole book at once for listening later, might come in handy when on wifi. And...

I get some kind of exercise everyday. Even if it just walking, but usually more than that. The plank challenge, when I started it, I could hold it for 1 1/2 minutes, now I'm at 2 1/2 - 3.

I tried audible and librevox, settled on the latter. I just connect my phone to my truck stereo, and I'm good to go. And when a call comes in, it just pauses it and picks up where it left off after the call.

If you try and scan a sister co load (1 number) and check the express, it will let you go all the way to the end(leaving the second number blank) and then it won't let you click send! I tried that too. I just scan as you described, and it has always worked out .

I've been looking at this. Do you have it? How do you like it?

Forgot about knee/ leg lifts. I do that all the time out on the open road, when I can. Lift my legs, one at a time, and holding it up for a mile or two while moving my foot side to side.

Can't say about Nutri system , but Wonder Slim and Medifast plans can work well with a just a microwave. The food isn't frozen.

Seems that "Geronimo's Story of His Life" by Geronimo and S.M. Barret is fitting for NM and AZ

Well , "The Secret Garden " by Frances Hodgson Burnett got me from Dallas to El Paso. Time to find another great book to cross NM

Great Android app for audio books. I'm sure there is an Apple equivalent. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=biz.bookdesign.librivox I've used this app for years. 1000s of free books. It really helps pass the time when driving to listen to a great book. Enjoy. Greg

If I'm in a big hurry, sometimes I will get the Southwest salad at McDonalds with grilled chicken. I won't say its a favorite, but it's not too bad

Walking around the truck doesn't have to just be at a truck stop, you can also do it while waiting at a shipper or receiver. of course, at a shipper, it would actually be half circles :)

As a straight truck driver, I already equipment on board that I can use for getting in some quick exercises. Sit ups A load bar near the floor to hold my feet down and a moving pad ( blanket) to lie on. Pull ups or chin ups A load bar at the right height AND 2 straps. Use 1 strap on each...

Well said. If I miss a call, and miss the load, I figure it is my own fault.

I have the S Health app on my phone. I use it to track a lot of my goals , like 10,000 steps a day, my caloric intake , etc. It is a pretty handy app to have at my fingertips. As I type this , I am walking circles around my truck, adding to my daily 10,000 steps (thanks @TeamCaffee )
