    Well, since our furry mustelid hijacker in chief is apparently AWOL, I believe we can safely use his authority in abstenstia to declare this thread

    HIJACKED!!!



    :biggrin_25522:Sorry, Otter. Well, not really.

    I wasn't AWOL....I was simply in awe, NAY....AWESTRUCK would more apropos....on the direction this was going!

    Discussing the advantages/disadvantages of bungees v spider straps for maintaining dignity of panties.....interesting how these "he-man" types can manage to climb down in the gutter once the fair damsel in distress comes on the scene! And over in that "Where Are You" thread....Rocks is showing how "reverse chivalry" isn't dead by getting her "exercise" by digging out some local driver stuck in a T/S parking lot.

    These are strange times .... and here I sit waiting for my load time with this white stuff on the ground all around me .... at the waters edge of Port Tacoma!

    We just missed each other. I picked up there Monday, but didn't leave until yesterday morning. No point seeing how 84 was a skating rink from Pendleton to Ontario. So I did what any macho trucker would do and pulled into the rest area and went to bed.

    just more ventilation so things can air out. let that musty trucker funk you accumulate in the folds between your pelvis and legs from sitting in a seat for 11 hours a day dissipate. ;)

    84 is shut down once again in Oregon because of ice. They really should make a resolution to try to keep it open for at least 24 hours in a row. It's been shut down almost every night this week.

    or we could actually start using our #### brains and resources in this country and never have to worry about snow/ice/freezing rain/sleet or chaining up ever again.

    but then again...that would require the use of effing common sense. and who does that anymore?
