Been to watts show three times don’t know how I keep missing the group photo
-
OK, thanks for that
-
as I mentioned, Geoff truckstops are all different now all they want is kids food and that’s all anybody wants nowadays most of them. Just stop there to piss in their parking lot and keep on rolling. of course it doesn’t matter to me anymore anyway, I really don’t need them now myself. I do all meets and turns with Fedex. And even that will be ending soon.

We went back to our favorite Mexican restaurant after Covid. We left $100 tip to the waitress. It was worth the bread to see the chick chasing us out the door and couldn’t thank us enough. We told her it wasn’t anything at all you need it we do not neither one of us miss any work at all and the old lady never missed 10 minutes of work during that and in fact my wife was working for bicycle supply warehouse and they were beating her to death with overtime essential business.

Yes Reno it’s really hard to find Italian food here. Also fried chicken seafood, Chinese and China food good luck believe it or not the best China food I’ve had here was at a supermarket China express. At raleys I’m sure you fellas never heard of it. It’s an expensive supermarket, chain northern Nevada. And northern California.

Not sure if you guys have Olive Garden out there I don’t really care for the place because their food is very boring and that’s what a girl told me that used to work there most of their shit comes in frozen they just heat it up and serve it and their commercial say when you’re here your family yeah whatever man I’d rather take a chance Burger King
-
I guess they figure most of these folks are just passing through and they will never see them again. Well, they will certainly never see me again ha ha
-
Probably not bud not only they can’t find anybody to work these days. Hard to find cooks that are proud in thier trade. These days plus I heard most travel centers these days order of frozen food. They just throw it in the nuker hand you a hot plate of boring food

Excellent bud thanks for that. Sure, don’t see anything like that around here although I did see an RD Friday evening when I was coming back into town washoe county bought a bunch of them few years back they’re still rolling road maintenance rigs -
Always nice to use some home remedy that doesn’t backfire and blow up in your face. Glad to hear it.
-
Yes, but how’s the food Bubba?
-
Waiting for a bus I have to go pick up the old ladies explorer downtown and very fortunate. The bus stops almost right in front of my house and stops right in front of the repair shop downtown Buck 50 can’t beat it. A taxi would probably be about 40 bucks or more. Yes now I’m way up Joey help me out.
-
Well, I’m not sure about that. Joey. Good luck finding it two big truckstops we had right here had fabulous food. I used to eat at both of them all the time. I probably mentioned it now neither one of them. I wouldn’t send anybody there either and yes, I smoke camel cigarettes For about 15 years then somewhere around 1990 cigarettes in my area took a real huge jump and price and I started smoking generic brands and they did not offer nonfilters so I had to lower myself and start using the condom type ha ha
-
Oh wait a minute Joey I think you’re too young to remember that TV commercial about the camel cigarettes
-
we thought it was toughen up. You have to walk a mile for a camel fly 3000 miles for seafood… lobster is really good out here. I’ve had it numerous times and I’ve always been pretty impressed. I don’t know what the deal is with the clams. Maybe there’s just not really a big call for them out here.
-
Pretty much the same deal here Bubba got to fly all the way to New England for a full bellies. We can get them here in a few places, but they’re not as big as they are back there and they’re kind of tough. I don’t know what’s up with that
-
and yes, I am glad I’m over them never have to touch a single chain ever again and yes, I have had way more than enough of them frankly I’ve had way more than enough of the whole racket ha ha I’m sure you can understand the good old days are all gone My wife keeps preaching on there old man you’re almost to the end of the race 12 more weeks you got this
-
Wow, pretty trick story thanks for that and yes, I have been on iron way further than that right on the same page….. 5060 miles lots of times as long as you’re on snowpack you can go quite a ways without even scratching any of them once you hit the wet pavement ok now they start wearing out. And yes, 40 miles is a long way.
-
Well, we’re all certain they’re not gonna do anything to the dope smoking bisexual but at least the media is showing us a little bit of what an idiot he is I like what they were saying this morning three rows of family sitting in court prosecutor said it wasn’t gonna change his verdict at all ha ha dumb ass broke the law and nobody is above it. I’m sure a few of you saw that footage like I did.

Steering wheel question
mowerman replied to old soldier's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
The year stretch out pretty good. I took a wheel out of an 88 and put it into a 66 fit right on good luck. There’s lots of junk steering wheels around that’s a good part depending on where you are not this place. -
And yes, I know all about full chain ups ran Donner pass for six years both ways every night as of right now I don’t have to worry about any of them 12 more weeks ha ha
-
Yes, I don’t blame you when you’re delivering to ski lodges. You don’t really have much choice, but there’s only so much you can do. I have seen pay loaders and tractors myself coming out to meet these guys across 80. Different farms you can see them from the highway
-
OK Joey we’re off the subject. Help me out here.
-
Some of our City drivers tell me they have to back up into these places, sometimes a quarter of a mile way out in the nowhere like you said they have to come and get you got an even better story one of our guys used to deliver to the snow ski areas Mammoth Lakes and he was telling me it would be snowing so hard he would get stuck with a full set of chains owners of the ski Lodge would have to come down and get him with a D9 caterpillar chained up and pull him all the way up the rest of the way Trailer full of food and booze they would do anything they had to do to get them up in that door

That’s like the host buying a pie at the supermarket and then putting it in her favorite canister and acting like she prepared it4??????
