    I was sitting here asking why God would allow all these fake TTR acquaintances to die. I am at a Waffle House on the Mississippi coast near where @OLDSKOOLERnWV ate at The Shed with one of his favorite former TTR members (Shogun)

    I poured out about $6 worth of coke in these lost members memory until I read what @blairandgretchen said. 20250323_112705.jpg

    Thank you Blair for using the witchcraft to see through these shenanigans. May the spirit of the boomerang continue to guide you.

    Also its good to see @1951 ford, @sawmill and @wore out in the thread. Seems like old times.

    And my favorite actual poster from Texas who has managed to escape death, @exhausted379.

    Anyways I've got some sunglasses to draw on some avatars, and some mourning of real members we lost as I contemplate the meaning of life on the beach before I go back home.

    Hope everyone has a good Sunday

    I had heard that Shogun Character was found in the early morning in a gym, crushed by a 600 lb bench press attempt.

    What aroused suspicious nature of his death was the Barbie dolls stuffed in his mouth, and a Caterpillar piston hanging by wire around his neck.

    It’s just hearsay though, maybe local legend.

    It’s sad, he apparently had tried to turn things around, and was engaged in sensitivity and sarcasm training at the time of his unfortunate demise.

    You don’t see as many out on the road - I remember Werner used to run them , and I don’t see too many of them left. @spyder7723 keeps his in pretty good shape,

    We set him up with a Cobra 29 night watch version and an old ‘Cowtown’ antenna and co-ax I had hanging around. So now you can holler at him.

    Question - is it 9’ or 18’ co-ax for a single antenna? I had a 9’ and it’s pinging the ‘check antenna’?

    The DIY wiring bandits have struck this Peterbilt. Bypassed the pressure switches and ran a hot wire from a toggle switch to the AC clutch.

    Didn't even leave enough of the original in place that I can piece it back together.

    Hot wire the ac clutch!!!! Who could/ would do such a thing? IMG_1988.jpeg Maybe it was merely for test purposes?

    3 years is a good start…


    We did leave the original wires and it runs on that “most” of the time.
    Just a running joke around these parts.
    Lol
