Railsplitter's Crazy "Trucking Daze" thread...

Whooowheeee!!!

Those were some good tequila shots, lol...

I pulled some ADDITIONAL party tasks and NOW I'm ready to post a few classic trucking shots, 10-4?

Just to keep all those geriatric tards on my side (I'm one of 'em), I'm gonna throw down the '53 Bull-Nose KW shots (I capitalized the bull-nose, lol), THAT way the GERIATRIC FOLK can get to bed early and stay regular, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Here we go, hope y'all enjoy the pics!











I LIKE that diamond-plated 5th wheel, lol... and it's a SAD REFLECTION upon my so-called "social life" that I'm actually ENJOYING this posting of pics on a Friday night, even if it IS stinkin' February. I'm currently attended by 5 cats & a large bottle of silver tequila, not to mention some other party materials & a fridge full o' cold beer, lol. No CHEMICAL CRAP, the cats & I are NOT chemical heads, and we don't like Big Pharma EITHER, lol... ####. Okay, let's move on and imagine that Good Ol' 1953 Bull-Nose KW tooling down a road like THIS... please note that it's RUSH HOUR, lol.

 

Okay, I've been laggin' hard, that blue agave juice will do it to ya every time, but let's SOLDIER ON and throw down some more PICS... this one should SCARE some younger folk!












Okay, back in a moment... remember, these are Canon cam shots of old paper photographs, so there is glare and also the reflection of my Canon cam and fingers in some pics. I'm trying to cull the shots with the most problems, but y'all know how it is with this ol' dinosaur: "I'M LIVIN' IN THE STONE AGE... AND LOVIN' IT!!!"

 

Hmm, what's next?

Meh, here we go... some more pesky TRUCKING SHOTS, lol. Here's a weird backing angle through a TIGHT HOLE in Chicago... "YIKES!!!"






Pretty tight backing venue with little room to pre-position, lol... my truck was that blue International.



Nice fuzzy shot of a kaput RV as I passed, aye? Gotta like the fluid leaks! And below: "It's okay, officer, I always park this way!"



Next we have some sweet shots taken from on high... Utah, I reckon, though it has been awhile, lol.






Alright, youse heroes, I ain't done yet, not by a long shot, lol... I'll be back like a bad rash to plague y'all further, BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

Be back later... got some sorta glitch with the site.

Meh, the tequila ain't HELPIN' much either, LOL...

 

Okay, the program was cut short last night due to some glitch, dunno if it was the site, my computer, or the brain cells fried by that tequila, lol. It could've been my own computer or Internet, I had to "reboot" the modem yesterday by momentarily unplugging it, which seemed to work. I gotta admit, I have low tolerance for Big Tech BS when I'm in party mode, I'm likely to GO POSTAL if it drags on too long. For instance, I had this old desktop PC which gave me so much grief over the years that, once I moved to Show Low, Arizona, I hauled that thing out to a nearby impromptu firing range and BLASTED IT with my lever-action .45-70, lol. No lie, I probably have some pics... those big ol' .45-70 rounds punched so many holes in the computer, it looked like Swiss Cheese, aye? Blasting the problematic PC was like THERAPY, and once I was done the computer NEVER looked better, lol. Lemme see if I have a pic or two...



There's the rifle which I bought at a local swap meet (along with all that other crap, lol), the pic was taken before I adjusted the sling... and here are some rounds for the rifle:



Here's the pesky & problematic computer after a few "therapeutic shots..."






Might as well round out the set with a few firing pics: "Home... home on the range!"






One of those militia boyz I met up in Show Low... the REAL militia, lol.

 

Dang, that was so much fun, lemme post another round of 2A shots, lol...






Here's my impromptu geriatric rifle & shotgun stand... note Glock case lying in the dirt, like no respect, lol.



Hmm, what else do we have that's 2A-related? Ah, just the ticket!




"HAND OVER THE CATNIP AND NOBODY GETS HURT!"



Here are shots of my "Tuco Sling" which I rigged for fast access while trail riding, lol...




Never had to use the Glock on the trail, and I had a can o' bear spray as well just in case I met some hostile critters in the boondocks, lol.

 

Okay, I still have rounds of trucking pics to post, but I gotta get cleaned up and run to town first so I can resupply... don't need beer or booze, but I wanna pick up some BBQ material for this warm weekend in the weather forecast. I'm thinking steaks for one day, chicken or burgers for the next, lol. Dunno if I can find some corn in the husk, that's always good on the BBQ... I usually cook at least half a dozen ears in the husk, then put 'em on a plate and cover 'em with foil while I cook the steaks, chicken, whatever. Nothing like corn on the cob cooked in the husk, with real butter & black pepper on it, lol. Anyway, I not only have some cool trucking pics to post, I also found shots of a car show in the White Mountains, I'll have to post those in the appropriate thread, y'all should get a kick out of those... might not get to them until tomorrow, but they're really nice pics, lol. Before I go and knock out this resupply run, here's a shot of my pop the submarine commander with a Tommy Gun in his hand, lol... guess that 2A sentiment & support runs in the family, 10-4?

 

Got time for a few pics before I water the trees & plants... been meaning to do that now that the hoses aren't frozen solid, lol. Let's see what we have for today...



Next we have desert flora in front of the entrance to Kartchner Caverns in Arizona...




53' wagon, convertible model...



Texas rest area... "CRICKET PROBLEM? WHAT CRICKET PROBLEM?"





Rollover wreck, CA-99, that's a work crew salvaging the freight by loading it onto another truck in the rain...

 

A couple of old workhorses in a pallet yard in Bakersfield, IIRC, I had to grab some pallets but these old trucks were too cool to pass up, aye?







"SHOWROOM CONDITION!" I believe this old farm tractor was also in the same yard...



Road tractors waiting for their wagons to get loaded in San Antone...



Shots taken at the Alamo...




And the San Antone boat ride along the River Walk...

 

Hmm, guess I'll go water those trees & plants, I'll be back later to post more pics...
