  2. That's about where I was last night.....
  3. I just don't think it's right that Double L is a "pedigreed bulldog" when he don't even own ANY Macks, yet you and I both got Mack trucks with gold dogs on the hood and we're just "bulldog" status. Perhaps in my case, "pedigreed bull$#!tter" would be a better classification....
  4. OK...now we KNOW you's outta yer mind
  5. If he changes his address, he should have to start his post count all over again at 0
  6. That'd be a good way to get on this guy's bad side
  7. My woman is in Texas dealing with doctors & lawyers...
  8. ...actually, that's tomorrow. Gotta grease the truck...and in order to avoid having to log it as "on duty" time, I sip on a beer or two while I work...can't be "on duty" if I'm drinkin' In the summer, I'll have the race on while I'm out there working too...when I hear 'em talkin' about a wreck, I pop my head out from under the truck to watch the replays Daytona five hunnerd! Coming to a TV near me on Feb 14th....

  10. 17 is perfectly legal 'round here... 15 will get you 20, though
  11. That's aight....he'll track ya down just fine
  12. having "feelings" is a sign of weakness, anyway. Either something is or it ain't...no sense getting your panties in a bunch over it.
  13. ...not that I was worried about it or anything....
  14. That other pic was on my trip out to Montana last summer in the Ranger. Surprised nobody said nuthin' about the .45 on my hip I got room ta haul a gun or two in ALL my trucks... F250 Mack All the guns in the world ain't gonna do ya a lick a good if'n ya ain't got 'em with ya when the fit hits the shan.
  15. My bike wheelies easy enough WITHOUT a fat girl on the back. I prefer keeping both wheels on the ground, though...easier to go around corners that way
  16. That sounds like a good deal. I don't like to fuel anywhere that won't turn the pumps on for me WITHOUT walking in to give them a card. I don't even like using those stupid phones. Running local, the places that regularly have the best prices know me. Even if they don't, the company I'm leased to is written real big on the trailer, and the truck & trailer both have numbers on them that would be easy enough to track me down. What bugs me most at the big chains (especially Pilot) is that I have to go in, wait in line, and then GUESS how much money it is going to take to fill my tank....then I go out and pump my fuel. If I guessed wrong on the low side, I can't finish filling the tank. If I guessed on the high side, I have to go wait in line (again) so that they can credit the card with the difference. Either way, though, I have to wait in line that second time in order to get the receipt that has the gallons printed on it. Flying J & TA, they just swipe the card inside at the fuel desk (after you waited in line once) and then you have to go back and wait in line again to get the receipt. Other places want to hold onto the card while I'm pumping the fuel. I like the places where I pull in, stick the pump in the tank and turn it on...then when I'm done fueling, I go inside and release my ummm....processed....coffee, refill my mug with fresh coffee, pay for my fuel, and leave.
  17. Isn't that Loves open yet? I've seen 'em building one over that way....I think around 70 & 127....Greenville? I avoid them big truck stops like the plague. Hell, most of the little places still let you refill your coffee mug for free when you fill up...and even if they DO charge, it's well under $1. Them big chains are well over $1....plus tax....and that's if you use your own friggin mug! The ONLY time I ever use one of them is if I'm out on the road, need fuel, but I ain't where I need to be & can't have a time stamp.
  18. Let's see...I got a Rhodes 101 down on the South side of Cape Girardeau.....or there's a BP in Marion....otherwise, the nearest "truck stop" is down in Paducah. Sure, we got fuel stops here & there...most of 'em with only 1 or 2 diesel pumps...and if you are lucky, you get a high-flow nozzle (Tuts in Marion, ZX in Carbondale...IF you pull up to the correct island)....and if you are REALLY lucky, even a satellite pump (FS in Marion, MCS in Mitchellsville, Phillips 66 in Perryville by the Chester bridge, Motomart in Perryville by the interstate)... I just pull in anywhere that sells diesel the cheapest and fill up. Sometimes cars get pi$$ed because I'll be blocking 2 other sets of pumps with the trailer while I'm fueling the truck, but I don't care. Nobody's ever been brave enough to say something rude to my face about it... That is the nice thing about buying my own fuel....ain't gotta run 20 miles out of route to get to a company approved fuel stop, then run those 20 miles back to continue on with my day. Usually takes me 15 minutes to fuel up and no out-of-route miles. One time, though, I pulled into the wrong pump at the ZX...first time I had ever fueled there...and the pump was s-l-o-w Took 45 minutes to pump 65 gallons Oh well...gave me time to walk around looking to see IF they had high-flow nozzles on any of their pumps. They do. Next time (if there is a next time), I'll pull up to that pump and see if it goes faster.
  19. I dunno...you seem to think you got a deal at the J, so I figured I may as well try...
