So I stop for a mandatory 30 min break 7 hours into a long 11 hr day.
Yes, I usually drive 7+ non stop if my bladder permits it.
I took a trip down memory lane and LOL'd at @bigtom13 and @dandays comments on your WE post. I was then amazed at the million+ $ Volvo build. Only to have my heart ripped out here. Fuk Sake Man, I hope Sammi Jo outlives me. I know if not, her loss is gonna destroy me. I love the stories of Merlin & Cleo. But, That was a rough one to read Galen. I will wipe my eyes and drive on the 3 hours to my ranch.
And cherish the walk Sammi and I take from the truck to house. The nuzzlin, head bonkin, and biscuit making she does with every step.
We have them in our lives knowing that mostly we'll outlive them and will have to deal with the pain that goes with their loss I guess. We carry on though, and carry them in our memories.
