    I prefer to "vent" but the result is the same.
    And that's what we all do occasionally.
    And this group seems to be a good place for it.
     
    KD5AXG and JohnBoy Thank this.

    Or page number 400 if you have twice as many posts per page... But yes, DANG that's a lot of BS piling up.

    And speaking of Fathers Day...

    While on the yard yesterday there was one of our drivers and his whole family... Mom and six kids... It was obviously a family talk from dad to the kids.... Some girl in the news had something bad happen to her and he was having them watch a news story about it and using it as a "teachable moment" for his own kids... I just sat there and eavesdropped a bit and thought... Good Dad... And Mom too... Bring the kids to dad between loads so he can try to get/keep them on the straight path of life.

    I didn't want to interrupt and he disappeared right after the mom and kids took off so I didn't get to tell him so I am sharing it here.

    Being OTR is no excuse for abdicating ones parental responsibilities. It may be on the yard with a stranger and his puppy listening in, but take the moments as they come.

    To him I say; Good Dad!!!


    Stay Safe,
    MD {Dad of Two}
