    Tex Ritter did first version. either way unlike today's crap called music ; both version like most of music BACK THEN told a story;; many of which the listening people could relate too. sadly it could be said (I GUESS) today;s people relate to whatever the noise says.

    am I reading this correctly ? O&G also bought Rawson ! funny story from years back, O&G were on the prowl buying every concrete co around, one of the son's went to buy a small local concrete co only to find out his brother had already bought it . keeping with rules and regs. many of the companies they bought were "on paper buys" most kept original co name on units. others just closed.

    I agree in terms of childishness 'BUT considering a calendar picture is good company (free) advertising. the "back stab" came mainly due to Hi-Ho being a same state competitor .possibly a fleet cross country picture wouldn't have been as bad. for the day when a company buys 20 plus trucks it was no small deal. both O&G /Hi-Ho purchased a large fleet. not just a basic tractor but dumps. being involved with first DM delivery order (#356==376) , I definitely would liked to see all Mack fleet.

    hopefully ALL those reading won't let work over take your life as I did. 24=36 hrs no sleep for 15===+ yrs. only to end up on operating table having "power plant " removed and repaired . waking up with a red pillow handed to you with statement of "If you feel a sneeze coming grip the pillow tight as a SOB , " if not = sorry. no . care of time, Family is first.

    I will NEVER laugh at any one :but with them . as I always say "don't laugh at those broke down on the side of the highway !:for it may be you they are laughing at next mile down the road!!" "LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE ". not me . You were not wrong just misinterpreted the sentence.

    as with every day life moments' use the clutch /don't use ALL depends on the moment at hand. you have a quad or you have a 5 speed;;;; you have 50k or you have 175K on; life's challenges differed moment to moment. after many trials; I could take a duplex or tri and shift with one hand ; ALL depended on the MOMENT.!!

    THANK YOU ; unfortunately the "power plant "inside was rebuilt back in '15; never read the fine print for the warranty. one of my tee shirts states "body parts original , power plant rebuilt". shows picture of half engine/half heart. I stress all the time to all You "youngsters "::: take care of yourselves .sure you can lift that brake drum by hand ; not use the jack.40-50 yrs go by fast ,you loose count of how many drums lifted:: the back will remind you EVERY DAY . think I went of topic "AGAIN"
