A Good Night's Sleep:


Rob

Recommended Posts

Four fella's arrived at deer camp. Provided lodging required bunking in pairs. Daryl was the designated black sheep of the hunting party because Daryl snored loudly enough to inhibit others from sleeping in the same room. They decided it would be cruel to make any one of them to bunk with Daryl the whole time. They voted and drew straws to take turns. The first fella slept with Daryl and came to breakfast the next morning with bloodshot eyes, looking like he had been drug through the brush backwards. One fella asked, 'Man, what happened to you?' 'Daryl snored so loudly I just sat up and watched him all night. The second fella took his turn and by morning looked only slightly better than the first fella, with his hair hanging in his bloodshot eyes. One fella inquired, 'Man, what happened to you? You look awful!''Man, Daryl shakes the roof with his snoring. I watched him all night', He replied. The third night was Fred's turn. Fred, a big burly ex-football player, was a man's man. The next morning Fred came to breakfast bright eyed and refreshed. Good morning,' he said. His hunting party couldn't believe his composure! One fella inquired, 'Fred, what happened?' 'Well, we got ready for bed. I went over and tucked Daryl into bed, patted him on the pooper and kissed him good night. Daryl sat up and watched me all night.'

Four fella's arrived at deer camp. Provided lodging required bunking in pairs. Rob was the designated black sheep of the hunting party because Rob snored loudly enough to inhibit others from sleeping in the same room, and he was just weird. They decided it would be cruel to make any one of them to bunk with Rob the whole time. They voted and drew straws to take turns. The first fella slept with Rob and came to breakfast the next morning with bloodshot eyes, looking like he had been drug through the brush backwards. One fella asked, 'Larry, what happened to you?' 'Rob snored so loudly I just sat up and watched him all night. The second fella took his turn and by morning looked only slightly better than Larry, with his hair hanging in his bloodshot eyes. One fella inquired, 'Mike, what happened to you? You look awful!' 'Man, Rob shakes the roof with his snoring. I watched him all night', Mike replied. The third night was Herb's turn. Herb, a big burly truck driver, was a man's man. The next morning Herb came to breakfast bright eyed and refreshed. Good morning,' he said. His hunting party couldn't believe his composure! One fella inquired, 'Herb, what happened?' 'Well, we got ready for bed. I went over and tucked Rob into bed, patted him on the pooper and kissed him good night. Rob sat up and watched me all night.'

now that I can believe!

Yea Glenn I know what you mean. When I drove for a local warehouse, I sometimes had to fill in for the dayshift driver and work 16 hours. I would pick up my first load early a.m. and unload at the warehouse and get thru about 8 a.m. Their were 4 of us sitting inside a small office on the dock. The boss would let us sit down and before ya knew it we all were asleep. Pratt was the boss and he always kept his ears open just encase a trailer would pull up or maybe some of the big wigs would come in. Once I recall we were half asleep when Pratt told one of the black boys they called(JAWS)that That's was one tired Man.....meaning me.

it's a long ride down I-85 from Petersburg. 836 miles to the state port in Mobile. Had to lay over in Montgomery Tuesday night to load sand in Elmore Wednesday.

Was late getting unloaded Tuesday because of Mardi Gras-truck control was closed at the port because it was "Fat Tuesday" and we couldn't get escorts.There was 3 of us there and none of us had a twic card, and you can't get into the ports without a twic card or an escort. We found a driver there with a twic card and he took our loads in and unloaded them for us.We dropped our trailers and took all the chains off but 2 and he took them in for $40 cash- not bad really, the escorts charge $35 an hour anyway.

I was last to get unloaded, so I ended up laying over. Unloaded the sand in Seaford, Va. about lunchtime Thursday and was happy to get another load to Mobile- I was thinking Monday delivery. But nooooo, it had to deliver Friday and by the time I left Petersburg Thursday it was 5 pm. No more sand Friday, so I had to go to Foley, Al. Friday evening and load building materials going to Phoenixville, Pa....to close to Philadelphia for me-blehhh!

reminds me of a song-

"it's the second week of deer camp,

and all the guys are here-

we drink, play cards, and shoot the bull but never shoot no deer.

The only time we leave the camp is when we go for beer-

the second week of deer camp-the greatest time of year!"

Other Dog- did you take in a parade? beads? tata's?pics of tata's?

unfortunately I did not see any boobage. There's lots of boobage to be seen at flashyourrack.com though.

I did see planes, trains, and automobiles. Even a battleship- the USS Alabama in Mobile. First extended hood locomotive i've seen. Plane was over I-285 in Atlanta. Gibson's truck parts is in Cowpens, S.C. I've seen B-models and H-models there from 85 but I haven't had time to stop and look around yet.

Tom, Next time you go to Foley, AL try to eat at Lambert's the resturant called the Home of Thrown rolls. It's an all you can eat. They come around the tables constantly asking if you want the food they have in stock pots. Their is another Lambert's in Sisksten, MO. Me and another of my pilot friends flew the Arrow to Sisksten several years ago about 5p.m. getting back about 8p.m.......Your picture of the battleship reminded me several years ago of a visit to Mobile to see a WW2 pilot friend that told us the best fish resturant around was the FISH HOUSE under the bridge about where you took this picture. A great place to stay in Mobile is in Fairhope, south of the bay called the "Grand" it is a Marriott Resort. I've stayed their back in 2007.

Thanks Mike, i'll remember that if I go there again. There's plenty of places to pull over and park all along where I took that picture. I didn't of course because I didn't have time. Had to be in Foley by 3 o'clock to load. Got there at 2, time to spare, but not a lot to spare. About 5 minutes after I got to Azek Building Materials 2 more trucks came in to load. Good place to load, I just hate where i'm going.

I might have seen Lambert's on tv before. I remember seeing some restaurant on the Travel Channel where they throw the rolls to you.

Now you all see what breathing paint fumes does to a guy long term..... Fantacizes kissing other guys, dreaming of patting them good night on the ass??? What is wrong with us paint sniffing people????

Rob

maybe you should give one of those mask things with a filter in it a try, before it's too late... Just a thought.

I've used a fresh air supplied respirator for many years so I don't think this could be any problem as suggested. I can't smell any fumes when painting.
