Popular Post Mack Technician Posted December 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2019 I can’t really fault the guy. He lives on thee coolest Christmas decoration street in our town, constant steam of slow moving cars. That’s a lot of pressure to perform. 5 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60187-awesome-neighborhood-skinflint-shot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 if we had done christmas decorations as a kid, the house would have had bah humbug on it. dad was a mailman for 35 years. we did not see him between thanksgiving and christmas, he left on 4am the day after thanksgiving and did not come back home until after midnight on christmas. he averaged 20 hour days during that time Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

My second uncle up the chain was Postmaster in Puxico, MO for many years, but that was before my time. Once retired he went back to work as a rural carrier and did that well into his 80's. He had a fleet of AMC Ambassador, and IH Scout vehicles with most being RHD until finally hanging it up.

tjc transport Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 no idea. probably though. he retired in 85. but stopped delivery and went behind the desk in 65, except for when he went out on a fire investigation. besides being postmaster he was also a federal arson investigator.
