Happy Turkey Day all!

ScooterDawg haven't heard anything out of you in a few. I hope everything is ok and that you have a Happy Thanksgiving.


Terry

 

He's doing just fine. We speak every week. He's on his way back from Clinton Iowa with his student and delivers in Va Beach on Friday.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

 

thanks JB, I was wondering myself and was gonna call him.

 

George, yep that was me. Had my own studio for awhile.

 

After I left NYC I headed over to Stanhope, NJ for a broker load going to Norfolk. Picked up Tue and delivers Amon. Can't afford that many days off so I called Chris to see if he would have something Wed at the yard heading back north. He said yeah bring it to the yard. Got to the yard Wed at noon and he had a load picking up in Hampton delivering this morning. It was a preload so I had enough time to get within a half hour to the house. Well I got there and Mr Murphy was at the gate. They were out of our trailers to load and one came in 30 min prior that they put in the door. Got there at 1415 and they finished around 1900. Took the rest of my 10 there and boogied home for T-day.

Delivered ex this morning and it was an interesting lot. I can't remember the customer code so when I get back in the truck I'll post a VERY important tip of this place on my directions thread.

 

Stanhope...spray in insulation? If its the same thats an interesting lil town itself!

 

Correct. My son lives in Blairstown, not to far from there.

 

Hey U turn,
My parents had their own studio in the Southside Hampton Roads area and we did mostly weddings for 35 years. My dad closed the studio in 1996 and semi retired and just did little league sports photography. We met Ryan Zimmerman, Washington Nationals 3rd baseman way back when he was in little league. Once met a Baltimore area wedding photographer who use to give seminars. Real good guy named Ed Pearce. Did you know him? Ah the memories. Ready to make some more now with Abilene. Hope to meet you real soon. I'll be training with Johnboy. We'll be at the terminal around 2pm. Small world.
