Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Well got back at 4:00AM this morning from Nashville and I must say it was a great trip. Nashville was beautiful and nice to see the leaves out and everything green. Here are some of the photo's on the trip. Here we are at the airport and picking up the luggage with JD.

Green Dash Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Good to hear you had a nice trip and made it home safe. That plane is a tad small for my liking but I've never been fond of flying and have only done so when it was absolutely the best option.That housekeeper in the third shot ain't the prettiest. That's Tennesee, I reckon. Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24507-trip-to-tennessee/#findComment-114307 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 The people of Tennessee were wonderful and treated us great. I wonder what they thought of Vt, NH & Maine drawl? There was one gentleman from South Carolina that had quite a country back woods accent that took some time to understand but it was great to listen to him talk. Here is a sorry bunch of New Englanders I will look forward to the next time in Tennessee Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24507-trip-to-tennessee/#findComment-114881 Share on other sites More sharing options...

umodelnut Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Here were the real ones at the centerWe got to work with these on ThursdayHey Tim, have you ever heard of Villager Contruction? My awesome stepdad (seriously awesomer than my real dad cause my real dad is a dick). Well anyways my step dad works for Villager. They do milling and paving and stuff like that. He brought home a Midliner little single axle Mack dump home with tiny stone for our brick pavers. I got to ride in it. That was like 2 years ago though. He has been working alot on the NYS Through Way quite a bit.

Glad to hear you have a awesome step Dad instead of a limp member.
