Oh, so your parents took you most of the time? 🤣

It's 12:02 here, go for it!

I remember that too, several students drove school buses when I was in school.

Remember the old Foster's Lager commercials that said something like "Foster's Lager- Australian for beer"? My friend Andrew Boyer informed me that that was wrong, Victoria Bitter was the beer of choice in Australia, not Foster's. I don't know if you can buy it around these parts or not, I've never seen it anywhere.

Yes, I rode the bus to school until I was old enough to drive. I was the only 6th. grader in school with a driver's license. I'm kidding! The bus was an International too. I think I rode that same bus the whole time I was in school. But I don't remember any parents bringing their kids to school and picking them up then, at all. Maybe as a once in a while thing, but not every day like you see now. Now I think more parents haul the chern back and forth than school busses do. And we would still have to get up at our regularly scheduled time and turn on the radio and listen to WFLO when it was snowing to hear whether school was closed or not.

Me and Mike Jackson took a couple of long loads from Hirschfield Steel in Lynchburg down to Hirschfield Steel in San Angelo, Texas one time. After we got unloaded we went to a motel because we were going to load a load there the next day going to West Virginia. We went down to the lounge to have beer and it seemed like everybody in there was walking around drinking beer out of a punch bowl. I thought "man, I like beer, but these people must REALLY like beer", those were some serious beer drinkers at that place.

Yeah!

These were in the photos, the only tomahawk steak I ever cooked. I'd always wanted to, but they were so expensive I just couldn't see it. Then Zina ran across this one on sale at Sam's. Looked "not too bad". Probably didn't taste too bad either, I really don't remember.

Another picture that I had saved. Me, Bob, and Jumper and Son eating dinner in Delmont, Pa.

Well, well, well- I was deleting some pictures off my phone again, and ran across this Christmas classic. It features our good friends Rob and Vision386.

I drove 2, the first truck I drove was a 74 Transtar with a 290 Cummins and 13 speed. Then I drove a 78 Astro with a 290, 9 speed. When I started driving for H.H. Moore Jr. my first truck there was a 74 Transtar with a VT903 with a 13 direct. Here I am at the old Ponderosa Truck Stop at the bottom of North Mountain with a load of wood chips, going to the Westvaco paper mill in Covington, VA. That's the last Transtar I drove, drove a couple of F models after this truck, then 3 K100's, then H.H. went to conventionals.

Yeah, I'm probably in the minority here but I've had prime rib a couple of times and I just wasn't a big fan of it. I'd much rather have a medium cooked ribeye steak. I like it pink in the middle, but that's it- just a little pink. If it's cold and red it's gotta go back in the fire!
