Where is everyone #5

True, but oversize is a special exception to the rule.

 

I was referring to the 3 axle tag trailer that @OLDSKOOLERnWV showed, but I'll keep that in mind!

 

I sleep usually from 11:30 pm till 6 am, sometimes till 6:30 am, wake up naturally 99% of the time then, I hate alarm clocks. This road trip I just got home from, I shared a room each night with my trainee, she seemed almost concerned with my no alarm clock policy, "but what if we sleep in and miss our drop off or pick up times" relax. Right around 6 am every morning I would wake up and flip on the tv at low volume to gently wake her up, then i would go shower. She is an alarm clock user, but something beeping at me to wake me up is going to have a short life expectancy, because I will smash it. She "offered" to set her cell phone alarm, I told her that I would be smashing her phone if it woke me up, she didn't set it lol
We were early for every appointment time we had to meet. I've not been late for an appointment time in 20 years, without an alarm. In winter I do nights hauling, plowing, blowing snow, about 1am i want to sleep so bad. I leave the trucks or loaders windows open to keep it frigid cold in the cab to keep myself awake, then I am just a mess, but its how winter goes and has gone for me the last 20 years. A few years ago with my daughter now older, and as I slowly let her run more and more, I went back to running tow truck more and more for my friend in the winter. I love it because it is so different from just driving. And some recoveries can be a bit tricky, i love the challenge. What I don't like at the calls at night time to come to a crash or even just stuck people.

Now when I do go out on snow clearing jobs, I almost never drive truck anymore, I usually run blower, sometimes plow. But usually the last several years I let my girl organize the crew and be in charge of snow. She is young and fit, staying up all night doesn't beat her down like it does me. When i was her age though I could run all night and go party the next day like nothing...ahhh to be 24 again lol

 

I don't drive fast, nor does my wife...my daughter thinks she is Brittany Force though. I'll admit that since buying my new Mercedes Benz AMG I to occasionally drive it fast. That power is addictive and well the car just hugs the road even at mind bending speeds. I love it, but sometimes think it would have been a better idea not to have bought a car with over 600 hp and foot lbs or torque.

 

Sign up at a flight school for a familiarization flight. If you enjoy it, discuss ground school and flight lessons with them.
I love flying, and since I got my new to me 1998 Encore, I take any reason I can find to go flying. I should probably drive down, but why not fly

 

Can't say my favorite dealers would justify flying, but the Athens one is a maybe. Thanks to ATL traffic. Both are about an hour away, unless you make the trip at an unwise time of day. Athens would take longer to drive to the airport 15 miles away and preflight than transit time. Morrow would be ok, except for going around the KATL airspace. The controllers there really don't like dealing with slow VFR pilots for some reason LOL.

One of these days I'll resume and complete my private ticket. I managed to solo before turning all my free time and spare change to other ventures. 10 yrs flies by when you're preoccupied.

 

Flight school cost money. Of which is in short supply currently

 

Well I bought 2 old CDs for something to listen when in no radio signal areas. Than I look at my radio no cd slot? Thanks Freightliner!

 

How old of shaker we talkin

 

Brand New. The struggle is real.
