Longhaul

Welcome to the forums! It's nice to meet you, and I hope you enjoy your time here.

I don't really remember ... I think it was recommended to me at one point, and I created an account here. It's been an interesting ride through the forums, and I've met some lovely people here, many of whom I am sadly no longer in touch with. I'm hoping to be around for a long time to come.

Hello everyone. My name is Longhaul and this is my formal post of interest in the Reader position. Some of you may know me from the forums, or maybe you’ve read one of the few stories I’ve written. I love writing and reading, having done some live readings on a few Discord servers, and my taste in books ranges to the biographical, non-fiction, essay, and fan fiction (of course). I don’t much like talking about myself, but I do love reading, and some have said I have a very nice voice, which suits me well because at one point I wanted to get into radio (I didn’t, but I did try a few times). I’ve already posted some samples of my reading here in this club, and I welcome you to check them out. My plan is to do at least one story a week, maybe a main story and a short story if time permits. I really have nothing more to add besides thank you for your consideration, and I am looking forward to whatever decision is made.

Not very well. Sad for one of my drivers who experienced a loss this weekend, and tired and sore from being out in the truck for a good portion of the day. It's going to be a rough week.

Continuing with Part 2 of this story. Hope you enjoy. Tip Toe.mp3

Feeling tired and had a headache most of the day. Napping didn't seem to help much.

Hanging out with old and new friends.

I'm thinking I need to train myself to not think about work when I'm supposed to be relaxing. Bad Longhaul. *thwacks self with rolled-up newspaper* No more work now, relax time.

I've attended quite a few weddings. I've seen "traditional" church weddings, a Wiccan wedding, and a couple of simple weddings officiated by a justice of the peace (mine was one of those).

Currently 80°F, going to top off around 96°F today. Some Saharan dust is expected to arrive starting Sunday afternoon and go through at least the middle of next week. Should make for some interesting sunsets and hazy conditions.

Hello and welcome to the forums! It’s great to meet you and I hope you enjoy your time here.

Just a cute little short story to start the weekend. Hope you enjoy. Princess Celestia is inexplicably in your bed. Princess Celestia Is In Your Bed.mp3

Hello, fellow adult male! I wouldn't worry about it so much, this is a very welcoming community. I enjoy my time here and the interactions I have with the others, and I hope you will too!

I'm kinda frustrated, because I need to remove some equipment from a truck we're getting rid of and it's not going well. At least it doesn't need to be done right away so I have time to figure it out.

I've never really counted, actually... I do try to give them out when I see something that I like or that I can relate to.

This memory goes back a ways, so bear with me... I was working security and my assignment was to patrol an empty textile mill in a small town. It was Christmas Eve, and not long after midnight I was doing my rounds and decided to do a roofline check (we had access to the roof but checking it was optional). I opened the door and stepped out, and from there the entire town was laid out below, Christmas lights twinkling on some of the houses, light snow on the ground, the peaceful stillness of the cold night ... I have never experienced anything quite like that since.

Mostly minor injuries, some slips getting out of the truck on wet or icy days, strained muscles from cranking up a trailer that had its landing gear down too far with a heavy load on it, the worst one was when I wrenched my back while pulling a pallet and the pallet jack decided it wasn't going to move any more. That one laid me up for a couple of days.
