  2. mowerman
    Well, I had a few things on there that are probably not gonna happen. Pensacola dragstrip was one of them, but it is now closed but finishing that DM and driving it out of here would be one of them for sure.
  3. mowerman
    And yes, TJ I did change the subject a bit all the same. I would like to drive that thing hell after little while I might not even wanna get out of it.

    That’s interesting that you mentioned that because my family started with horses and a wagon but later on they were telling me about side curtains and no heat and most of them were boozers ha ha and draining the radiators at night oil lamps for headlights. OK now I’m going way back.

    Speaking of the old days that old buddy of mine just messaged me a little while ago from ESTES I used to run with. He was pretty good at keeping in touch

  7. mowerman
    Yes, back when it was fun hell, I forgot about that. Yes, I used to run 2 Amber lights on top of my CB for ID.

    Same here, bud I only knew them by their handle and some of the fellows through the years I talked to for a number of years and never saw them. I’m sure you got the same stories. You know how it goes. Same truck coming at you at the same time every night.

    Definitely like to hear more about it …. Driving an earth mover was one of my bucket list. Don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance.

  19. mowerman
    ya back in the day you could key up and say something to some one and of coarse they would reply and you would continue on talking untill someone got off the road,,,just about everyone i keep in touch with,,,i met on the CB through the years....i see these freight haulers out there now at night and dont know how they have any friends passing the same trucks every night and no one talks,,,,and to brag my best setup was a uniden with a 240 watt kicker,,,,that thing would stretch out 40-50 miles all the time,,,,one time someone heard me talking 120 miles away,,,,miss the old days,,,bob
  20. mowerman
    Yes, it is sad towards the end of my career. My run was 530 miles and I would hear absolutely nothing all the way except for a few of our drivers that still ran radios and still talked and yes, I also had a Motorola and a Midland and a president and yes, back in the day the radio was so busy sometimes you couldn’t even squeeze in to get a word in edgewise and that’s the God honest truth everybody’s gone to cell phones and XM radio
  21. mowerman
    Thanks for that I actually found a couple of them myself Google search I think parts finder for some reason they all want a fortune for them. You can buy a brand new cobra in a box for about $110 if you’re looking for a CB radio in the hell of a deal I ran cobra radios for years had a galaxy for a while, but I think the cobra holds up better.

    I’m not sure if this transition has taken place yet or not I don’t really see anything different
  23. mowerman
    lol Alrity then google baby they have an answer for everything I think I’ve seen a Kenworth radio
  24. mowerman
    Hell, yeah you can’t find anything around here for that price wow good deal
  25. mowerman
    ive never seen one,,,,but seems quite expensive for a used radio
