    I'm 61 and was 312 pounds at 6'2" tall in 2019. In 2020 I was laying flat on a table with a cath ran up my arm and into the arteries around my heart. I did have arterial blockage but not enough to need a stent, no heart attack, yet. I got on a ketogenic diet and walked every day. I weigh between 220 and 235 these days and I walk at least 2 miles/day and mostly 4-5 miles/day. Start slow, make a game out of it, get healthy, live long and love long.

    My late Mother said the Family had Allergies 24/7/365, perpetual sniffles & runny noses. Spent 23 years in the Army running, working out, etc.. Started early enough was doing PT in combat boots. Then add another 13 in a job on my feet all day long. Result is a replaced hip 10 years ago & no cartilage in either knee, I can feel bones rubbing on each other. Gotta lose 100 pounds before I can get knee replacements.
    Safe Travels, take care of yourself & Miss Bailey. Give Miss Bailey a hug, smooches, & scratches behind both ears. She who must be obeyed.

    At 8:21 Sargento Cheese truck the opposite way. Our favorite cheese. Allergies have been horrible this year. Yesterday coming home from Chambersburg, Pa my allergies flared up as I neared the Norristown/476 exit/merge area. Must have been a nice smell with those bull haulers. 😂 Your video always has the correct amount of road footage, cat sound, music, loading and unloading aspects and then the information you provide for safety, maintenance and trucking issues.

    Sounds like you are suffering from east coast allergies. Pine tree pollen turns everything yellow in the spring time all over Georgia and the Carolinas.. When I traveled outside of the southeast I had very little problem, but let me come home for a few days and I was sneezing, suffering from a runny nose, and had itchy eyes. Head west Supertrucker Dan. You will be fine.

    Dan Dan the professional flat deck man. Video was short but a good one. Having allergies must be a pain in the butt. I have been very fortunate not to have had any problems like than. Blew my knee out a few years ago and still have to deal with the problems from it still today. No you do not complain very much Dan. Would not do you any good anyway. Even though your tractor is now much longer than before you get around in tight places with ease. Anywho Dan loved the video. Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring.

    Try rubbing Vick's ointment on your sore knee a couple of times a day Dan. The menthol is a decent topical pain reliever. Ice it when you can for 20 minutes at a time. It will take a few weeks to get better.

    Hey Dan, you said that your are fat and old and that your knees couldnt handle that. Tell you what, a youngster may have hurt his knees too. You jumped from your trailer totally unprepared. Means you jump in an emergency to avoid falling down. This instant jump hurts everyone, no matter if you are 30 or 40 or 50 or what. Its not about beeing fat and old... and btw, you arent fat. I worked for UPS for over 15 years and i remember my training time. They teach you to watch anything, to be prepared and it works most time. But most people dont get a training like this and so shit happens. Cool down your knee, maybe go for a doctor and have a check on it.
