An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Walmart was tempting me the other day, but they didn't have these in my size

 

My favorite is a t shirt with Mickey Mouse on it scowling. Sums up me as a truck driver.

 

I am on the verge of losing the respect of my fellow flatbedders...I have had 4 days in a row where I managed to get a shower...how will they ever recognize me as a fellow flatbedder if I don't smell like a flatbedder. ...and my hands are clean (mostly)...

 

To anyone who thinks that all Pitbulls are fierce and vicious...this is our pitty when she senses a storm coming



She is about as vicious as a fluffy kitten (a 90 lb kitten)

 

Here’s my vicious Pit mix when she thinks she might hear something close to the resemblance of thunder. In bed curled up eyes closed telling herself it isn’t happening.

 

@supersnackbar bring back memories? In Lafayette LA…definitely not the best backer I’ve ever scene…

 

He is a proud member of Girl Scout troop 701...(701 is Fargo's area code - that's what some of us Moore drivers used to call the Wylie glass drivers)

 

The crazy thing was, until a couple months ago, lightening could hit the house and it wouldn't bother her. But now, she's a excellent weather predictor...before we even hear any thunder, if she is doing her ostrich impression, we know there is a storm in the area.

 

Fourth trip into the shop for my Next Gen. First two visits were for injector flushes (waste of everyone’s time), then, new PAC2 injectors, now, leaking fuel lines.

Fuel lines are a single-use item, because of the tapered seats on the fittings. When injectors get replaced, the fuel lines are supposed to be part of that. However, PACCAR have changed their warranty policy and no longer replace them. In my truck, they replaced 2. Two of the remaining four started leaking, Tuesday. Today, it was so bad coming home, I had fuel dripping off the trailer bumper. What’s worse is PACCAR changed the installation directions, stating to use 30° less rotation, after the initial torquing of the fittings. That’s a guaranteed leak! I was secretly hoping it’d just catch fire and burn to the ground. My employer could fire me, then, I could start looking for a Volvo company. I’m so over PACCAR.

 

This is our big boy. Pit/Lab mix, a solid 80 lbs of the gentlest guy I’ve ever seen. He’s looking at the cows across the road from the house.
