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

Had to make one of the more unusual calls on the CB this morning...."Eastbound, watch yourself around the 170-171, there is a west bound cow trotting down the eastbound shoulder. 2 full growns are headed that way with their lights on to go play cowboy and pull her over"...I wonder, is roping an escaped cow part of Oregon State Trooper training?

 

Been looking for something like this. Thank you

 

I imagine on the east side it definitely is.

 

Probably part of just growing up to be a man training....

 

Oh look, the weather people were wrong again...winter storm warning my ###!!!!





I looked this morning after clearing Cabbage and it was orange from N.Bend to almost Ellensburg. So I went the southern route. Looked again after clearing Portland and all the roads all the way across Washington were green again. I wish I could screw up as bad as the Weather Channel's so called meteorologists do, and still keep my job without any repercussions.

 

I wish I could get a job like theirs where I get paid to be wrong half the time.

 

We are dumb truck drivers. We are paid to be wrong all the time. At least thats the way we are treated.

 

Not me...I thought I was wrong once...but I was only mistaken

 

We took a Storm Watch class by the NWS. They said winter kicks their tails hands down. They know moisture is coming, but have no idea how it will reach the ground, whether in the form of rain, snow, sleet, etc. He told us if you leave work and it's snowing, and 15 miles down the road it's raining, to call them as they are diligently studying how to identify the differences using tools available to them.

 

The snow is just now moving in..cabbage is reporting light snow..
