B MACK Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 It is nice to have a moving "office". Saw this sun rise out the KW window. Yesterday I was in a MACK end dump ("YEH") and hauled up in the ding weeds. Don't get to see much of that other 'scenery' like Other Dog sees. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47272-at-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyT Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I once brought a tumbleweed from W.Texas home to Pittsburgh so my wife could see one! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47272-at-work/#findComment-348897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I posted the other day,"when is a truck not a truck"? And it happened again!! TRUCK GOES OFF BRIDGE INTO CROWD BELOW ,KILLING FOUR! Out of control PICKUP not TRUCK, in San Diego a pickup went off a bridge and plowed into crowd below! The media can't resist that truck designation when everything from a F150 to a F 350 is a pickup!! So they can give the impression (however briefly) that a thundering 18 wheeler fell onto a group of hapless citizens taking four lives!

BillyT Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Speaking of moving offices Has anyone figured out why the stars look so close you can almost touch them when running I40 in New Mexico?

Brocky Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Billy Main answer: Clearer air at higher elevations with NO surrounding light to close up your eyes. You can see the stars like that all over the west from US 90 in west Texas to I-90 in Montana.. Pull over in a desolate area (NO even distant lights) where you can safely park with ALL your lights OFF, give your eyes about 3 to 5 minutes to adjust to the dark, then stand between your tractor and trailer then look up.. You will be amazed Edited October 16, 2016 by Brocky 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47272-at-work/#findComment-348913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Right Brocky! Read that the sky surrounding the McDonald observatory in the Davis mountains of w.Texas is some of the darkest in America it's certainty one of the most desolate areas I've been through! Ironically the Mt Palomar Observatory is near San Diego so it has to have some " light pollution" but it's been there a long time so maybe they didn't count on all that population growth! Thanks for the response! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47272-at-work/#findComment-349053 Share on other sites More sharing options...
