The Rubber Duck 006

I meant NO Such think Mate....I honor all men and Women when I think of Memorial day no matter where they may be. I was just talking from My perspective that there's so many people who all they do is complain and whine about the government and this issue and that issue etc.....And I always say if you don't love it leave it....So many everywhere around here are all about this Erasing our history and cancelation of everything that teaches about it or mentions it....And I say they can leave too and go live in a third world communist country and then see how great we have it here. I know that we've never been alone in any Scraps that our military has ever been in...My Grandpa served along side the Aussies in Korea and drank tea with them in Camp and he made alot of good friends and he had nothing but the highest respect for them Aussies as he called um. We actually Manufacture tanks right here in My Home town and they get Kangaroos stamped on the back quarter panel and sent to Australia. I mentioned no disrespect to any other countries military cause actually without the joint effort and banding together as Brother's in time of war We'd all be flying the Nazi Flag and Speaking German....Or later on flying The Japanese Sun flag etc.......

I won't receive a Flag at my Tombstone either but maybe some little kid that is all grown up and I had an influence on in their little days or maybe even one of my own (IF that day ever comes) will place a little chrome Bulldog on top and Smile. Both of my Grandfather's served My daddy Served One of my Uncle's Served, Few of my cousin's have Served and one is still enlisted with the Army Reserves. I've a lot of Friends who are Veterans and I've had the honor of Marching in Parades with them. I've stormed the beaches of Normandy,Swam the Rice paddies of Nam,SEEN the sunset in Korea, Seen the Ships of Pearl Harbor, etc etc....And didn't even have to Leave the country all I did was take time to listen to Their Stories and Showed I cared.

The red Stripes honor the blood shed for our Freedom-legend has it that Ol'Glory hangs limp and unmoving when a Soldier Dies on the field of Battle. Also the Blue Represents the UNION of the States and White Represents Purity and Trueness and also a new beginning. Thanks to all that have served and whom are still Serving. I'm thankful that I can serve and Support The greatest Country on Earth By Being a Trucker!!!

Yeah I love people's reactions when I point at that Camera and Mouth "I have a Dash Cam!!!" And add a mischievous Grin to my face 😀 😄 😁

I drove a 2005 International 9200i with a Gray ISM Cummins and it was a pretty stout motor for not having over 400HP had a 10spd behind it.

Hmmm it almost Sounds like the Solenoid is damaged or the terminal may be broken inside not allowing it to make contact or allowing it to until it gits hot....Not sure with out it being in front of me....

Is the solenoid new?

Almost sounds like the Solenoid may be broken inside maybe??

Awesome Video's my friend!!! I remember my Grandpa talking about them "GAS Jobbys" he knew a guy that hauled steel with one he could pull double loads with it. Well when the diesels started coming out the guy bought a fancy Freightliner with all the fixin's. That diesel couldn't pull double loads like that "gas Jobby" and he ended up losing his butt and had to sell everything.

That's usually how it is with me....Takes me forever to git motivated....Then when I git starred I wanna keep on going cause I feel good about progress....

Good deal 👌

It's looking Better with every Layer!!!

Well once you've got the truck in the garage it'll be smooth Sailing...And while you're feeling it may as well GIT it done

You're welcome Sir... The Banner looks Awesome I love the old Baseball team banners

Looks Awesome

Well I'm glad it didn't

OUCH!!!!

My Grandpa and his drivers battled with the Teamsters back when Hoffa came into Power. Alot of Innocent Non-Union Drivers lost their lives due to the Strikers trying to shut them down....Even after the Contract was signed that the Non-Union drivers wanted nothing to do with the Strike etc and just wanted to haul steel and Provide for their Families......I've dealt with Union companies over the years and honestly I can't stand their Sense of entitlement and arrogance. I've even crossed picket lines to because my company had nothing to do with the Strike I was just doing my Job.....

That's what I love about my Small Company Yeah we have ELD and Cameras etc But they couldn't care less about what we do....And that camera on my windshield has detered alot of Road Rage Incidents for me.

Well Maybe we can meet up at Lounsberry Sometime

That's exactly who it is along with some other Companies. It's at Route 17 where it meets route 8 and 10. I will be back over this way Monday and also Probably next Friday.

This one actually serves decent food in their hot cabinet as well pizza,sandwiches etc. It's alot better than some I've stopped at over the years. I like it because it's close to the jobs jobsite and it's relatively quiet out here in the parking lot....also the employees seem to be really nice

It's Pretty Decent and has a Burger King in it now....It's part of Ambest now

You're welcome Sir!! Now it's time for some much needed Rest here at Lounsberry Truck stop here in Nichols,NY.
