Alright, since Tami and Laura twisted my arm (you two should consider part time careers as torture instructors at the US Army's SERE school by the way), here it is. This post I guess will outline the focus/scope of what I am shooting for, and what can be expected (feared) on this trip.
1) This will be done through my phone, pictures, typing, the works, please forgive my atrocious punctuation and the probable spelling/grammatical errors that are inevitable when technologically deficient cave men, like yours truly, interact with modern and complex technology. Also of note, I am an avid sports fan, fisherman, hunter, and outdoors enthusiast, if these topics bother you, here is your warning up front that they may at times be alluded to in the course of this journal, unlikely to be in great detail, but reference to them will almost certainly be included when they are a part of the daily activity.
2) As you have likely discerned without my statement of the obvious, Belle and Beau and I all live on my 18 wheeler. Less obvious is that we are what is called OTR, Over The Road, and that we haul flatbed freight of all sorts and descriptions. Last note on this subject is that we spend long periods of time on the road (My last home time was in May if memory serves, could have been April though).
3) My work schedule involves anything from 70-100 hours each week, as fun as this journal ought to be, I am not as young as I once was and my batteries are more like Duracell and less like Energizer in these days, my work, family, and especially my feather babies come first. There will also be times where we get sent into areas of the country that possess no interwebs, thereby making updates an impossibility.
4) I am absolutely open to requests, interaction and questions by anyone who wants to come along, consider this an interactive documentary and simultaneous experiment long term on keeping birds in a truck.
I think that should just about cover this introduction, I am not making any promises, but I hope it may be informative and entertaining to someone at some point. Frequency of updates is still being deliberated about, I will just have to see what works best for my schedule.

Right Laura?
