Where is everyone #5

Exactly. My grandparents were poor. My grandpa died wayyyyy before I was born. They lived in the ghetto with all the other imagrants. However, all the pics I have of him, he is in a suit. Heck, even the pics of him fishing he is in a dress shirt and tie. However, the shift as you pointed out is when TV really became a thing.

 

Sitting in Avoca for my reset. Still makes me sad that the museum is gone.

 

Well here’s my opinion….

when you’re to da mn lazy to put any pride into dressing yourself, you undoubtedly will put no pride in your job…..

 

Talk about a great piece of beef….!!!

 

Carry a bottle of bleach. When your up and somewhat functional after a good sleep, mix some bleach and a little water and go pour it on top of your tires. Don’t need a lot. Then get back in the truck, have a cup of coffee and whatever. You should not be stuck.

 

Lol.....Holy cow. At that point, why even bother with the pants?

 

Yup, same thing around here, gettin to be I don't like to leave the farm if at all possible anymore. Spend half the day driving around looking for parts/components no one has, or even has the slightest clue as to what you're talking about. I just stay home and order on-line, get it delivered, much easier, cheaper and less BS. Wife says you wanna go to walmart? Nah, too many dirtbags and dubdubs running around for me, not to mention dealing with the store mask nazis, you go ahead, I see all the wildlife I need to see right here. Insurance is coming up for renewal in March, depends what the rate increase is gonna be this year, I might just pull the plug, sell out, and call it a day, at almost 62 I can do that. Don't know how you feel, but I sure don't belong here anymore. Thankfully, I don't have many more years left, feel real bad for my grandkids though. This country has lost it's good sense, respect, and dignity....

 

It's said we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. A nice platitude that exposes a virtue that exists in a perfect world.

Reality is different, whether you like it or not.

Take a look around this very forum. Or any "social" gathering. Judgement happens constantly. But, to keep it germane to TTR.

Drive for a certain company? Be judged.

Drive a certain type of truck? Be judged.

Work with a certain brokerage? Be judged.

Say something some other person doesn't like? Be judged.


I have more respect for people who wear their prejudice on their sleeve than those who hide it.

I've been accused more than once in my life of being an extremely arrogant, judgemental human being. Guilty as charged. I'm also not perfect, nor pretend to be.

 

I've mentioned this before on here. I've got an old book about the history of trucking in Western Canada from around 1900 to the late 70s/early 80s. You look at every photo of a driver in there. All clean cut, clean work pants, clean, tucked in shirts and a belt. It was all driver load/unload back then, so they were all very slim.
