    I just wanted to say when I met a forum member in person ,I first thought it was a coincidence, but it was a blessing. this past fri the 14th. I was on the phone with another O/O with our co & I was talking about needing a couple tires. he mentioned the truck shop at exit 22 off I 65 in TN. I call the shop talk to some one named Tim, get some real good prices & tell Tim I will be there sat morn to pick up 2 tires.

    I get home 30 minutes later & find I had a message in my inbox arrived at the same time I was on the phone talking to Tim. A member asked if I know anything about the shop at exit 22 in Tn. off i-65? although I am only 30 minutes away & have passed by the shop 2-3 times a day for over 15 years I never stopped there. ever.

    the member mentioned he is having some axle work done there. that is where I met Ruthless! we talked the common man things in life. he bought breakfast for me & my neighbor, who I had with me, which I did not expect, cause I wanted to treat him as He was in MY area. I just don't think it was a coincidence that I have a need to go to a shop for the the first time at the same time a forum member is there. that just made my wknd. I thanked the lord for the opportunity for the fellowship. also like to thank Ruthless for his generosity. it was just a blessed day. thanks Ruthless.

    Met a team yesterday that had the exact same middle names for first names as my wife and I. Uncanny. Nice folks too.

    It's good to meet peeps in person, I like to have a sit down with folks rather than all phone or online.

    Martin, you are used to reading the Queen's english.. Like Skateboard man said, that was southern english. You need to study up on the slang for different parts of this great country. LOL

    Remember, your one of us now, even if the TWIC people say otherwise
