The whole concept of what I am attempting to do is be able to always have something going on. When it comes to running the truck to move loads, much of the computing is focused on spreadsheets and mapping to every customer and keep track of my finances. Still, I need time down, to show the prevention of fatigue. During this time, I have a chance to get laundry out of the way, back up my files, clean up the truck, and web blog, until I can start writing articles as a new source of income. Typically, as a driver, I started trying to find places where I could get things done, but in the last year and a half, I have been trying to break away from that dependent need, and learn to work with what I have.

It is still taking time, not to let that time get away when not driving. The purpose of getting involved with a CDL was to broaden my abilities, and initially found it hard to switch gears, and just make the time to work within the truck on other projects.

I started a database design a year and a half ago, that would include all information from some select truck stop directories and Rand McNeil Commercial Map, along with other points of interests to add later. Eventually I might be able to make it a product in a program form for other drivers. A second, more personal database is being built like a library, to track all my files I back up onto DVD. Hopefully, it will help eliminate the constant copying of files that never change. For now, this fuel location database is being built for just me, and a little improvement is made from time to time. It still is in its raw form.

The most time passing form I am always developing is the Fuel Locations form, and only recently have I attempted to manage time to work on the other forms. But with over 11,000 possible truck fueling locations, this one does need the most investment, or it will never get completed. Other projects started include How To Videos, but that takes more time than the infrequent 34 hour break. I guess part of this countdown reflects all the projects pending, where time can be managed and include all future projects within reasonable time frames.

I still see the possibility of making little sequels of crafts and computer projects for possible public broadcasting, along with a dream of creative writing, I have always desired to do since I was ten years old.
