    Blues, Southern Rock and quite a few trucking songs. I hung it up in 2002...The industry isn't looking for middle aged truckers I guess.

    For the record, since I personally started this meaningless thread, I have NOT driven with gloves and never intend to anymore now....

    This thread has given me hope that I can wear my knit Sponge Bob Squarepants gloves while driving, and no one would make fun of me. Got a nice pair of pink gardening gloves too that would grip the steering wheel better.

    Why couldn't Stevie Ray Vaughn have worn gloves?.....

    On a serious note, Neatsfoot oil is good for any leather product you have including boots. Bullhaulers use it to keep the bovine urine from killing off their cowboy boots. It water proofs and keeps the leather compliant. If you did have a favorite pair of leather gloves, it will make 'em last longer.
     
  8. this thread reminds me of the story about a waitress leaving New Jersey and heading west. She gets to Wyoming and takes a job as a waitress at a truck stop. One day a guy comes in and she wants to know what he does and about the clothes he's wearing.
    I'm a cowboy, ma'm.
    What's with that big hat?
    Keeps the sun out of my eyes.
    What about that scarf around your neck?
    That's a neckerchief and I use it to keep the dust out of my nose and mouth when I'm riding trail.
    What about that sleeveless leather shirt?
    That's a vest and it keeps my body warm but allows me to move my arms.
    What about those leather half-pants?
    Those are chaps, they protect my legs when I'm riding through cactus and sagebrush.
    You're pulling my leg. I don't believe you're a cowboy at all.
    Why not, ma'm?
    'Cause you're not wearing boots, you're wearing sneakers...
    Well ma'm that's so people don't think I'm a trucker!
     
    oh well, Hubcap and ironhand Thank this.

    I saw a SKULL head 'spinner' in the truck stop Saturday.
    I just shivered...
