    How many steps in a day?

    I also have a pedometer on my phone. What I wanted to find out though was how many steps do I get in a day. The Up registers each time we go into a truck stop to us the facilities, when we load or unload, when we fuel. I of course was a LOT more optimistic then my Up has told me. The goal...

    Pulled Muscle

    Humble2drive I am always confused on a muscle injury so I am glad you clarified that it is cold first and later heat. I also do not like to take medication or any pain relief, the pain is there for a reason. I did take an over the counter pain relief for this injury so I could sleep and the...

    Pulled Muscle

    Monty that is what I was thinking about that I only had a small area that was hurting and I played the What if game. My muscle would spasm when I moved wrong and it sure got my attention. I was really wishing for a heating pad and next time we are home I will try and remember to add one to the...

    Pulled Muscle

    The other day I was opening a door that was stuck and I pulled a muscle next to my shoulder blade. As the day wore on the pain increased to when if I moved the wrong way it felt as if I was being stabbed in the back. Trying to sleep with a pulled muscle in a moving truck is not fun as the...

    Jen thanks for adding the pictures! Those meals look fantastic. Can you share if you are only using the microwave to cook? Can you also share some ideas on how you pull all of that together in such a small area as the sleeper for those that are not yet in a truck.

    Bee Stung while driving

    Honey Bees do not bother me at all. I have developed an allergy to Wasps that continue to get worse each time I am stung. Where I am stung keeps swelling until I can get hold of Benadryl. Once a few years ago when mowing I stuck my elbow in a wasp nest and was stung many times and that is...

    Trailer Tail

    58 - 60 mph is our normal speed but I have been experimenting with driving faster on flat ground with the Tail and have had mixed results. When in New Mexico on I-40 I picked the speed up to 65 and slowly my MPG dropped and then I dropped down to 62 MPH and I saw an increase. There is no set...

    Trailer Tail

    We have had a couple fills since adding the Trailer Tail and this by far is not enough fill ups to give a thumbs up on the Tail but so far we are happy. All of my figures are using the odometer and not the trucks computer. July our average MPG was 11.59 Since the Trailer Tail 12.16 12.81...

    Trailer Tail

    There was a question about ice and snow. We will shut the Trailer Tail if it is snowing and we are stopped so not to get build up. If we get build up going down the road which seems unlikely we will shut the doors so the snow will dump. The system is built to hold weight and we can easily...
