    Things that get ya to thinkin:

    When you’re the first one to the train crossing when the arms come down. Mile long sucker goes by at 10 mph. Last car JUUUUUST clears before the train stops. Arms stay down cuz it’s too close.

    You sit there for 20 minutes thinking back on those 3 empty flat cars you saw, and you just wanna slap someone.

    I couldn't help it lol :D.... might go in and actually do a dinner here shortly.

    I set in there earlier and had a great conversation with some fellow Gearjammers, 1 had been out here 53 years. Said the serial # on his truck had 6 digits, as did his trailer.... good to converse with these men!!! One has a W900A he just bought back, KTA 600 with twin sticks, showed me some pics of it. Also has a truck full of gearboxes... like 6x4 & 5x4 ;) gave me a decent price on all 6 boxes... something to ponder. Y'all be safe out there.

    I think a person could do good putting a restaurant in the Duke! Lot of traffic actually and it's usually about full at night, if not over flowing.

    Ignore my dirty windshield for a moment to bask in the glory that is the T800......

    If that ain’t the best production-line working mans truck on the road today I don’t know what is...
