    You had a toilet bowl and not just an outhouse?

    I told my story to DAC once. That Sonofa##### made a hit song about it and never sent me my share.

    Raised my kids while we raised cattle and hay. I left them to go off to three wars. No hippie. I can promise you that. I’m just a lil country and a bit redneck. My youngest daughter loves her older sister and likes her cloths. My 21 years old son loves to wear my old USMC shirts. I think he is a little proud of his dad. It melts my heart. We are not poor. Maybe you might call us that. We always had a safe place to live and never went hungry. My wife cooks from scratch vs frozen bag dinners. I run nice equipment with a little bit style and a nod to my 3rd generation trucking family. My name is one my truck and my reefer trailers. Could I make more money. Sure, but if it means cheating folks…Could I have a more blessed life? I’m not certain that I can. You have no idea how happy I am to have such good kids and a nice lady. Been out of the truck for months now and had some time to reflect on things that really matter in life. For me anyway.

    It’s a racket. The only way you get subscribers is if you wear yogurt pants. Maybe I need to start showing some camel

    Lol... I just don't get why some keep saying to move to the country and magically we can all live better/easier... the vast majority of small towns I've lived in or visited were filled with just as much poverty as the cities
     
    Vega95, Rugerfan, Ruthless and 5 others Thank this.

    If there is no Wood mill, small factory that you can work as a maintenance tech, large farm, I can see it being tough. If there’s no opportunities, it’s gonna be difficult. I’m in the Midwest. It’s definitely not that hard to live in a country than where you are. Out west, country can mean wilderness.
