Okay, I'll admit right up front I'm trying to lose a little weight. Heck, I've been trying to lose a little weight since I don't remember when, probably around the time my nickname was "Tubby" and I figured out the other kids weren't trying to be nice.

So, my latest ploy at losing weight is to do it metrically. Using kg's I only have to go down 21.9. Using good ol' avoidupois, I need to drop over 40 and that's a lot to drop. Plus when losing kg's a little goes a long way.

I broke the 122 barrier today when I checked my weight in Madera after delivering my load to a box plant in Tulare, which reminds me of the song Volare. I think the most important factor helping me lose weight is I've told Little Debbie to take a hike.

I'd like to say more, but I'm starting to nod off. I've been up since 0500 and have to get out on the road by 0630 tomorrow so I have a chance of getting home some time on Thanksgiving, not that we're going to have turkey because we aren't. We'll go out because that's what we do.
