    Common sense really seems to be lacking these days. Have some please..

    Be respectful of others & don't be in the way of other trucks doing their job..

    Don't wash your feet or take a naked whor bath in the sink. Get a shower

    One of my biggest pet peeves is what I call getting "hung out to dry"
    It's when I move to the hammer lane to let a merging 18 or car on the super slab. (I've no obligation to do so, but only maintain my lane) Said merging vehicle then proceeds to set along side my 18, either just pissing around, or attempting to accelerate faster than my speed. Then all traffic begins try'n to pass on the right, hanging me out to dry looking like an ### blocking traffic in the hammer. Not cool..

    Sadly all of these seem so simple , yet everyday the majority of drivers seem to not show any signs of life when it comes to looking out for a fellow driver.

    My Dad was this way. I used to see rolled up lengths of barbed wire that were short pieces tied together, coffee cans of used nails he had straightened best he could. Stuff like this all over the barn made me think why are we keeping this junk. One day as I got older I realized he had lived through a time when this junk was like gold.

    Lol sounds like you have your orders from headquarters my friend for this year :).

    I too would prefer the 70 over the 68, never cared for square dash gauges, always liked the round better, why I like the 69 over the 68.

    I can handle the 70-72 dash fine since they are identical. Find an early 70’s Monte Carlo dash to give them the SS look….

    Lot of the old timers would save the metal lid from the coffee can, use it to make a cover on the fence post so they don’t rot out so soon. Some too would cut the top of the post at an angle so water and snow wouldn’t set there for days. At least that’s how they did in my neck of the woods….

    Speaking as one of that illustrious club, I always buy the same brand of jam and marmalade and struggled with 3 of them with the vice like clamp to remove them undamaged. With each new jar I simply punch a small hole in the lid enough to release the vacuum pressure, throw it in the recycle bag, and and put one of the 'intact 3' on the jar. They never wear out and only need a brief rinse between uses. :)

    I wish I had a picture of the fence post of my uncle's farm. All the posts were covered with the coffee can tops or some type of can that would fit over the post.
