    You ain't the only one, I always say if you start off dumb enough, you'll learn something new every day. I'm the poster child for that.

    I'll be honest, when you quit trucking full time someone had to fill the void..So I stepped up and started doing outlaw ####.

    I'm talking double stacking freight that's marked Do Not Stack. Driving 37 in a 35 mph zone, transmitting on channel 19 at 5 watts instead of 4. Things like that.

    Truth be told, I really hoped someone else would fulfill the role. What I found is

    @Oxbow is busy working on his putting game.

    @tramm01 is sighting in his Bug-a-Salt

    @blairandgretchen is still trying to complete the perfect boomerang throw

    @ElmerFudpucker is on standby for a cash advance in Racine so he can get some wintergreen long cut

    @Rugerfan is staring at a Traeger waiting for his pork shoulder to reach temp.

    @sawmill is always at the karaoke bar singing Purple Rain by Dwight Yoakam.

    And anyone else who I didn't mention should be both ashamed of themselves and proud that I'm out here carrying the outlaw torch.

    I just may release the brakes a few seconds before my 30 is up to stick it to the man. This is the one and only @High Stepper and I'm gone.:Courier:

    I had to pack up and leave that place. For the price of a log of cope I was able to by fuel to get home. Got a can and a half left in my reserves, that should do me until I get back south. You really gotta know your numbers if you are going to make it big in trucking.
