    Keeping our brains challenged

    I like to play the games on Luminosity and Bob likes Suduko and Solitaire with both keeping us thinking and using our brain cells. Does anyone else use Luminosity? I started using the site in January and try to play every day and have been pretty successful at that goal. I enjoy the...

    Driver Health Hazard: Deep Vein Thrombosis

    Listening to music and tapping our feet on the floor of the truck when driving will help and like cranis says while on cruise move your legs. When there is no traffic I will do leg lifts with knee bent for 100 times and then repeat. I start driving between 2 - 3 in the morning and I usually...

    DIY - Baking Soda Shampoo

    My hair is short and still when I think of how much I spend a year for shampoo I am not thrilled. I enjoy learning about using natural products and through Pinterest I learned about using baking soda to make my shampoo. I have oily hair and I was concerned about how clean my hair would be...

    Essential Oil

    I have started experimenting with Essential Oils and I wondered if anyone else has done anything with them? Before we went home last time I ordered a few bottles and they had to be ground shipped as they were considered Hazmat. I made a air freshener for the truck which consisted of 1/2 cup...

    Apple Cider & Acid Reflux

    That is the best remedy.... I find that I have a problem with Acid Reflux when I do something stupid such as eat to much right before I go to bed... Changing our eating habits is the best of any remedy of anything.

    Apple Cider & Acid Reflux

    Mixed reviews on using Apple Cider for acid reflux works for some and makes it worse for others. I often add two tablespoons to my bottle of water and I have not had any problems. I started out with one tablespoon of apple cider and built up to two tablespoons. I have not had any problem...

    My weightloss journey

    Smoking is a funny addiction from how I see it. Bob quit and that is it he just quit. I have not written about how I finally quit as I was able to do this a couple years before we started trucking. It was not easy and it was not something I will ever go through again. It was very rough...

    I first read about the benefits of Chia seeds when I read the book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall several years ago. I did a little more research on Chia seeds and usually have a container of them in my refrigerator. The Chia seeds are added to smoothies usually and a few times I have...

    Working out inside and outside the truck

    While you were at Speedco did you pick up a copy of Expedite Now? That is interesting I did not know about that brochure. The exercises are doable and Bob hands out tips like that all of the time for free. I have seen him spends a lot of time with drivers knowing they were not ready to buy...

    10 MPG in a Tractor Trailer?

    I did a series of blogs on how our fuel mileage changed when we kicked the speed up with the conclusion "It Depends" In great conditions, flat roads, axle up we could get good fuel mileage with out the "perfect" conditions our fuel mileage suffered. I did a blog series with this one being the...

    10 MPG in a Tractor Trailer?

    We did a fuel mileage test last year with this truck and I found that speeding up I was more tense. At the end of the day my shoulders muscles were in knots and my neck always hurt. 58 works really well most of the time for stress and for fuel mileage. I know Henry does not like 55 and is...

    TA/Petro Shops

    Cheri I think it is for their records also on what has been done to the truck. Not sure they want to change that if they are the ones that do the work.
