Christmas is over. Real life is back... almost!

After surprising my parents and showing up unexpectedly for Christmas, it´s surprising how well I adapted to living in Spain. OK, I´ll admit it´s a LOT easyer with this fabulous weather...
I also had my driver´s liscence renewed, so I´m ready for trucking as soon as I find a job. Here are some pictures of the recent days.


First things first, the ham needs carving!!



Also. serenading the family is a MUST! Steve Earle? Bob Dylan? No, that´s ROGER TRUCKER, eh!

This is a premature posting, I´ll be posting more when I get more digital cameras developed (?)!!

TEMPESTA DE NEU A OTTAWA

Ara veureu com es condueix en plena tempesta de neu a Ottawa. (No es el meu video).

"FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN"

Merry Christmas to everybody! I went "shopping" in Youtube searchig for something inspiring to share with you.

Remember that Cristmas is about Christ, the One that came from God as a child, but died in the cross a perfect blameless Son of God, carrying our sins instead of us, that by Him we may be justified, and after, he rose from the dead.

Nevant a Ottawa, dia 3 de desembre.

Un bon discurs.

Per aquells que els agrada un bon discurs, heus aqui una d'en Cantinfles. En versió original. No en podia aguantar...

I went to San Francisco, California

Driving across Montana on I-15, amazing winter weather, down to -10C (in november). It was beautiful, except the sun can be really nasty some times...



Enjoying the Nevada desert, I never get tired of it... simply awsome!!


Before entering the srtrict state of California, better wash the truck. Transportation inspectors like to pull dirty trucks over.

AFTER:

Final aproach into California, the famous Donner Pass.







GREETINGS FROM DONNER PASS, CALIFORNIA!!

Let is snow...

I "enjoyed" some of the early snow that fell in Saskatchewan, while driving on th Yellowhead Hwy. from Nepawa to Lloydminster. Although it was mid-November, it looked more like mid-January of Febuary to me! Temperatures arround -5C

Lake Superior

I finally stoped at that viewing point on the Trans-Canada HWY that I´ve always wanted to pull over in, but either I was always too lazy (not THAT easy to stop and park a 80,000lb truck when you´re half-dozing while crusing at 105km/h), or I sped past it without realizing it was there.
Somewhere north of the Soo, and south of Wawa.
The temperature was close to zero (celcius), so you can imagine the water wasn't inviting!

About that trip to Boston...

Well, that Boston trip is over, obviously. You can guess that I´m not one to update this blog as often as I´d like to... or you, eh! Here are some pictures taken near Boston, where the winter is still far away, and the weather is nice.

From Calgary to Boston

I'm on my way to load in Lethbridge (south of Calgary) for a cross-country run to Massatchussets, somewhere close to Boston. A load of frozen fries. 4,300 kilomiters. Look forward to some interesting youtube videos and photos.

SEE YA!

About the spanish in my blog...

There is spanish in my blog because I AM spanish. From Spain, that is. You know, the one in Europe.


Anyways, there have been no comments in spanish so far, only catalan (and english, eh!)

Memories from Spain

About Trucking

I've been on the road for four days, and now I'm in Calgary. The summer is forgotten, nobody remembers it was here. For now, most of the leaves are gone, the trees lay bare, and the sun, when present, feels a tad lazy.

As the temperatures drop, the rain tends to get slushy or frozen, but I haven't contended yet with the snow. Not that it hasn't arrived, in some places. Arrived it has, but not stayed.

Caution advisory of the season: Look out for house transporters, making the last moves before the winter sets in!
