    as for the doubles I like the look, I’m sure as expensive as they are cool too. I am certain i don’t have the patience for sheep hauling. I hauled several in the jail one time for Hoover at West Plains. Had a mixed bag of #### I call barn tradin cattle. You know them mostly dead sonsabitches that little barns pass around to each other cause someone has to buy em. And you know they be at your sale next week to get em back so…..anyway we had a fallin out after that. He didn’t like how I had em packed wanted to know who cut that ##’in load. Being my young smart ### self I slapped the load card on his chest said whoever left that frickin load card……which caused discomfort lots of folks was standing around. You’d have to know the guy he’d gripe if he was hung with a new rope. 20 some years later and he’s still sore about it.


    Ya know them guys on each coast have some pretty cool ####. Here I am in the middle with an ol brown nondescript 379. Figures lol

    Nondescript indicates a smooth operating outlaw. Blend in, don’t attract attention until it is time to ride right.

    There was a big hand painted mural on the back of my sleeper. I was pulled over once in FL just so the trooper could get a better look at it. Several times when pulled over for flying to low, the man with the blue light would take too much time looking at the truck.

    I jackknifed one morning while leaving out of Texas G feeders in Hereford. Messed up the back corner of the sleeper on the drivers side. After repairs, no more mural. Helped the incognito operation and it seems I did collect fewer driving awards after that.

    I can relate, in 94 I was driving for a grading company they bought a brand new 379 daycab and let me spec it out . My head was swollen, thought I was the s#@t. Put a bug guard on the front with " Flirtin with Disaster" on it . Georgia department of public safety didn't think it was as funny as me. Later I changed it to say BOHICA. It took them a while to figure that one out . I still see some of the older officers and they still call me BOHICA.

    There's a contractor here in town called Bohica. Guy seems to stay busy. I figure either people don't know or they enjoy getting porked.

    Sorry, got busy doing some plumbing repairs. At the same time I had this on the bug guard I had a bumper sticker on the trailer that said " Bend over I'll drive".
