WattsMack Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 OK, maybe it doesn't take a lot to excite me anymore. I got soaked in Fremont while untarping a while back, then soaked again in Erie Monday rolling my straps up. Already had a cold, and was wishing I had something to keep my head warm. The old baseball cap just wasn't doing it for me. Found just the thing at the local Wal-Mart store today. Covers my ears and if I have trouble hearing I can open the fold-out ears to hear a pin drop miles away (see photos). And no,I won't be afraid to wear it-I wore it around in Wal-Mart until Jo insisted I take it off. I'll take comfort over style, especially when it's freezing in Ohio. And I picked up some new gloves too-the ''dollar a pair'' cardboard ones I usually get at truckstops only last a day or so before they're worn out.I went to Duluth,Ga. when I got back from Erie and picked up this load of racks ( the orange things) and brought them back to King William,Va. I'm backed inside the warehouse at Nestle-Purina on Tidy Cat rd.(yeah,really-but everybody's gotta be somewhere) getting unloaded. I also took a picture of Jeff's new truck that I passed on.. It was at the shop when I got back Friday, but it was dark by then as I had to go to Petersburg and load for Montgomery, Alabama for Monday. Might be good to be headed south again because they said it's supposed to be very cold in Ohio tomorrow...very,very cold. Coulda' tried out my new hat though.

I understand they only give those to their "especially good" repeat customers to their repair/service departments!Rob////////////View the full blog entry Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I was driving a 9900I at the time. Jeff gave me the Peterbilt jacket for driving a Peterbilt. He said it cost him over $100,000 but he got a free truck with it.

Rob Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 25 years of loyal service. That deserves recognition. You just don't see that much anymore.$100,000 dollars for a Peterbilt jacket with a free truck; Sounds about right. Wonder if you could have got the jacket for $99,990.00 and let them keep the truck?Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
