And, as usual, the steak was overcooked. Delicious though.

OK, I'm trying that steak in a cast iron skillet again. I have to admit, these steaks do not look all that good. This is after 4 minutes per side, I haven't cut into it yet. And some leftover potatoes and something warmed up after the steak was cooked. Zina is preoccupied with her new chickens.

Right!

That truck after the boat, I don't know what it is but I like it!

Several of us had linears at the time, Todd Moore had a 600 watt Texas Star. I don't know what he ever did with it, probably sold it. At one of the last stop lights leaving Charlottesville going north on 29 there was a big electronic sign at a bank with the time and temperature on it. I could sit at that light and just key the mike and the temperature on the sign would drop a few degrees. And the lady in the store at the traffic circle in Amherst sent word that we should watch our language when we went through the circle because if we were talking she could hear us on the video machines in the store. Of course it wasn't an issue for me because I didn't cuss.

Yessir, back in the day riding all night long and there was always something on the radio to keep you going. That's when I learned that truck drivers were the smartest people in the world, because you could bring up any subject and ask any question and there would always be an answer. You could ask whether it was legal to put ketchup on a hot dog and the discussion might go on for hours. I ran several Cobra radios, 25s and 29s. I always thought they were a hard radio to beat for the money. I had a 150 watt linear on the Cobra 25, it was the talkingest radio I had. I had the linear on the 29s too, but it just never seemed to get out like that 25 did. The 25 was in a cab over. I had a Connex 3300HP too, that didn't need a linear, it kicked ass barefoot. I bought that when I got the Peterbilt. I ruined that one myself when I crammed it in the overhead compartment in a Kenworth that was a little too small and shorted it out. So then I got a Stryker that was smaller and made to fit in the compartment. I still have that one, it's in the Mack now.

I'm still wondering if WOT is the same thing as WFO.

That's absolutely ridiculous, here's his birth certificate right here-

Yeah I noticed that a some of it was, but I thought it was pretty interesting 🤔 anyway. Parts of it was really good. I wondered if it had been posted before, I hadn't seen it but I haven't ventured too far from Odds and Ends lately. I drove a 300/5 speed F model for a couple of years and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread 🤣 I was actually watching a video about the Titanic and it was in the related videos.

Pretty interesting video I ran across a while ago. https://youtu.be/9TPfQWHGajU?si=mQO3fILF1nYoycQF

Might have to start a Virginia thread, how much worse can it get? "Stand up and fight back" - But what more can you do, as usual all the counties in blue voted "no" but the evil democrats in the red areas are the biggest population so they control the entire state now and it's only going to get worse. And this is what they're trying to pass off as fair-

Zina looked out the window yesterday morning and saw 2 bird feeders pulled down, poles bent, bird seed gone. Either I've been feeding the birds too much and they're stronger than I thought or a bear must have gotten them. We have outdoor cameras, and dogs who jump up barking and go racing out the back door at the slightest noise, but they never said anything and the cameras never saw anything. I put them back up yesterday, just stood one back up and I broke the other one the rest of the way off and put a piece of re-bar in it. I haven't refilled them yet though.
