    You get -10 for the auto and only +7 back for the train horns.

    How the hell you been? Haven't seen you around here in quite awhile. Sounds like the local gig is working out for you.

    You could be right.I drove for a company that had old rundown trks and trailers and a poor pay to go with it.

    That old mid 90's FLD would be a siren call to a broken down old man like me.

    I cannot stand erratic. I hope you like home time with that phone ringing where are you? You still asleep? Get over here got a run for you....
