    Ok, fair enough. I just didn’t particularly like the way you snapped at Otter and Tomcat for what appeared to be no reason.

    I wouldn't sweat it, brother.
    This thread is about old men and trying to get their coffee in before nap time.
    Just roll with it. As people get to know you, you become part of the group.
    Like this.
    I could say that @otterinthewater never got closer to surfing than watching Frankie Valli and Annette Funicello movies. And it would be true and funny.
    But its because we're brothers.
    Step in. Check the groove and hop in when you feel comfortable.

    Good luck. And welcome.

    I second the motion~! Big boys in #5 got snappy w/ him, too. The 'bigguns' get quite territorial, as we know. Thanks, Ms. @Rocks....should've said it myself, but got my hackles up, otherwise, and had Mackey take me down a notch.

    Welcome, @Diamond Reo !
     
    WesternPlains, Rocks and Diamond Reo Thank this.

    Old men. Naptime. Coffee and Iced Tea. Yep, me to a 'T' ..... put my twenty ot something in, and still...rolling, haha! I nap, while others drive. Vampire, that I am. Never surfed either; just channels, tbh. I'm still afraid of Jet Ski's that the wife intends to buy for usn's.

    All good. We all find our niche.'

    Backstory is; clubs, cliques, whatever you call it. Some people don't respect us door slammers, morgue runners, whatever. I've heard it all, as well. I'm not the most 'welcome' there, either. Why I tippytoe if I even stop by there.

    We've got a good group in here; and we love cats as co'pilots.. if that helps. :)

    Electronic warfare. Look outside, any black helicopter hovering over the head? Any black van with antenna forest on the roof parked around?

    When I log out of mine, it speaks... saying “truck movement requires login”. Now mind you I’m sitting still about to shut the truck down when this happens. o_O

    @farmerjohn64 isn't / can't. Can you help? You've been known to be a wealth of information. Seriously. I tried. Dunno how one could live OTR without running or idling, even SOMEtimes.
    Don't know that I ever had to go w/out, but in Big ole 'Bessie' (Gawd love her and rest her soul in peace wherever she ended up...) 1989 Pete, Hood, Daycab. Hotter'n heck pulling asphalt. I should've bought her when Ted lost his livelihood to divorce. (The O/O I pulled for..he had a 5 power fleet.)

    Now, I'm just a 'daycabber' . . . making OTR money.... almost. Happy, tho~!! :)
