    I never really get tired of the scenery around me.. every year in WI, I was still in awe in the fall..

    I have mastered a surly look that keeps most dummies from asking that.

    That said, our reefers are like mushrooms. I can park all alone and wake up a few hours later surrounded by other reefers.

    You, sir, shall soon be cursed by a fleet of antique Carrier units with loose clutches and belts, along with rusty broken mufflers!

    In fact I think I have one with your name on it somewhere around here..

    As long as you have an air regulator that pops of continuously along with that squeaky belt... welcome neighbor! If you also happen to have a really noisy apu running at 8,000 rpm with no muffler, I might move in with you.
