My Start with the Big Orange

Ahhhhhh ------
Not so amigo.
You left out Boysenberry juice and pie by name.
Walter Knott grafted two different berries together to come up with the Boysenberry. For that, he's my hero. You also left out the haunted shack, the stagecoach ride, the covered wagons circled around a stage with a bonfire and good entertainment. Across Beach Blvd there was the lagoon, a miniature train that circled the lagoon, complete with a tunnel which was a great place to make out with the chicks we met there weekend nights, and a replica of Independence Hall, ...... oh! and row boats to rent, and feed the ducks.
Back on the other side of Beach Blvd, the road to Hunington Beach, there was a blacksmith demonstrating the craft as well as a glass blower at work, a chapel where folks could get married, and Old McDonald's Farm, with a pool of seals to feed fish to out front. There's even a theater --- used to be called the John Wayne Theater, but it was changed when the kids took over, --- along with an admission charge and pretty cool rides. Special events like Knott's Scary Farm on Halloween, where everyone wore costumes.

They still pan for gold, only now it's the gold contained within wallets. But still a nice place to visit if you're in Buena Park.

Back in the day, there was an alligator farm across the street from Knott's. It disappeared a long time ago.

 

Hang in there, man. We're all pull'n for ya.

 

Great updates..with all this miles, what is your weekly pay check? are you paid weekly or bi? where do you take your showers, i hear some of the bath rooms are pretty bad at the truck stops. Also, did you share the cab with your trainer on your first run?

thanks again

 

The van operations manager at Gary OC recently switched over to bulk operations manager within the past 3-4 months or so. It's starting to make sense now since he's already familiar with workflow and probably switched over to manage the change over. Workflow isn't the problem, it's that operations doesn't know what they are doing on that system yet. It's actually much better than the old source system

 

Just reread the entire thread, glad things are good for you
