    I wear shorts and work boots,
    I move heavy equipment all day everyday.
    I get the occasional rock in my boot, it’s tough out here.

    I drive a dump truck. My customers are pleasantly surprised if I show up fully clothed. When the bar is set low, it's easy to shine!

    Good ol T5. Was indeed a 76.
    I'd leave MN and stop for fuel and a bite there many years on my assault on the east coast.
    6 stop Philly meat loads or 8 stop french fries to Baltimore.
    The turnpike was my second home...
    Don't miss it now though..lol

    And to think, after reading about some of the unsavory looking types discussed in this thread, folks look at me like I have three heads for, I can only assume, wearing a tux with tails, patent leather shoes, white gloves and a cape. *shrug*

    It's not your sartorial choices...it's just that you forgot to use a napkin after lunch. Most of us mortals get weirded out by a chin dripping with blood; just sayin.'

    I thought of growing a beard so I could taste “lunch” for hours, but I heard beards collect all sorts of bacteria. Naturally, being a germaphobe, I did not consider the idea any further.
