It's theme week!

Look, another blog post about the truck!

I went for a quick road trip yesterday. I put on about 500 km to go and see my mom. I don't see her often enough, so this trip felt overdue. Now, of course I chat with her regularly by phone, so don't think that I'm the worst kid in the world or anything. But, my chaotic life and work just keeps me from visiting as often as everyone would like.

In order to take this first 'roadie' with the new truck I had to make a new playlist. Music just for this truck and for this adventure. Then, en route I bought a Dr. Pepper. For me, a road trip requires these two things for certain.

Then all I did was drive. Deep in thought, and lost in music, the time flew by. Before I knew it I was in Mom's neighborhood picking up groceries and flowers and everything necessary for a perfect visit.

On the way, I got more familiar with my truck. It has a great 3 prong outlet you can use to charge anything. I like that. It has a back window that slides down. That makes it feel almost like a sunroof. The stereo is excellent, but I already knew that.

There, in the driver's seat,  with a few hours to myself I started to feel more like "me" again. I was reminded that with a little time and fresh air, distance and perspective I'm good.
