  4. He used to be on here all the time. I don’t know if you remember him I actually met him one time. He was walking his dogs right by my house. I don’t know where he lives, but I know it’s gonna be really close to me. He posted his dogs a few days before that and I happen to see a guy walking with the same two dogs and I asked them if he was Russ he says yes. That was a long time ago.

  6. I just saw a story about bed Bath and beyond which dropped out of site a while back came back with one new store and they are planning on opening up 75 more in the near future clearly they know something that we don’t God love them
  7. And Joey, you never cease to amaze me. I think you hit the nail on the head retailers were already raising their prices way before the tariffs started.
  8. Yeah, same thing here at Dave. My grandparents came from Greece right around the same time. They also started the trucking business with a team of horses. They were doing so lousy around the depression. My pop had to quit school and get a job to help out. he was lucky enough to find a job in 1930. But he wound up retiring as a teamster so he did OK
  9. well lets hope some good comes out of these tariffs,,,,so far were stuck buying way too much china imports,with no other choices and now paying more ,,,,strange stocks were souring,as soon as they were in place,,,pants,shirts shoes,appliances ,,,,rediculous,,bob

  11. and joey,,,,the government needs to keep thier mitts out of our retirement accounts,,and Force retired politicians to settle for a regular pention as the rest of us have to deal with,,,,instead of rewarding them with full pay,,the rest of thier lives,,,,thats rediculous,,,bob

I did have one fall apart on me one morning, not quite daylight middle of a canyon full of curves of course they were stuck on High luckily it was breaking daylight and very light traffic coming at me had to keep turning off the lights completely. When there was somebody cominglol true story and yes pictures would be nice if you’re new on here sometimes they’re tricky to post … bob

  20. Oh by the way, bud nobody cares if you’re talking about a different truck everybody’s welcome… bob
  21. Oh, I almost forgot about the floor buttons. I don’t know why they took them off the floor because sometimes both your hands are busy when somebody comes up and you have to hit them down kick switch a lot more effective you know how much shit do you need on your turn signal switch
