Yes, Larry is tall--he drives a pickup that is so far off the ground he had to help me get up in it when he provided me with transportation last year.

It's just a standard pickup, in case anyone is wondering... Not lifted or any such thing.
But I do drive it because I fit, and I don't enjoy getting in or out of even a "full size" car these days.

afternoon
Ns had some cars for uptown.Chores to do here.
My pickup is stock height as well, but being four wheel drive, it sits high. But after being in the semi all week, it feels like I'm sitting on the pavement when I first drive it........
Welcome to Scooba, MS, it's where I stopped today. Heading for Sterling, IL, for Thursday........

Spotted an interesting sight on Sunday while I was out running errands: a real live Delorean actually being driven. Wasn't too sure when I first saw its nose but a left turn in front of me at a stoplight confirmed it with its stainless steel body.
Hello Randy,I wondered where you were . I sorta miss that part of the country. The days of the Red Hot Truck stop in Ala. are long gone as is Gillies in Pasadina Tex. That was a whole nother world. Keep on Truckin. Jim ( Cannonball)
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Ns sent a big westbound mixed frieght when I got off of work.The local was uptown as well.Going into town here so Matt can do some yardwork.Mower is good to go.
Put in a very late night at the office last night. The reward was watching a rail grinder (20 stone switch grinder) working the RTD line along I-25 across the freeway from the office. Quite the light show with the sparks flying - I guess that rascal did not have drop screens like the bigger units. Sparks got all the way over to the shoulder of the freeway.
MC, I assume no water dispensor following!!
Ns local was uptown switching.Chores to do here at home.Matt is doing homework before he needs to go to work.Glad tomorrow is Friday.

Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
Why buy a Delorean if you're going to paint it? That should be illegal. I never was a fan of the gutless wonders, but a stainless car is a paintless car.
Murphy Sidingand had it painted bright red. What a big maroon!
Home now, looks like I'll be fighting my fifth wheel again this winter. Had a hard time getting it to lock this morning in 40 degree weather, finally gave the mechanism a good coat of WD40 and latched and unlatched it a few times, seems to do the trick. Not sure why this only happens on our International and Kenworth trucks, but not the Freightliners, and they all have the exact same fifth wheel assembly........
As an aside, does anyone have issues with getting redirected from the Trains mobile site to various deal and/or sex sites? Seems to be getting worse again..........
Rain and drizzle in the area.Ns had some cars uptown.Need to give hugs next week.Chores to do here.

"A stranger's just a friend you ain't met yet." --- Dave Gardner
A friend in Florida was discussing preparations for Michael on a ham net this morning. He's been down there for a few years, but never for a storm.
Discovered the lines at the gas stations, and was talking about getting a generator. Assuming he can find one, he's going to have a heck of a time finding an electrician to put in a transfer box before the storm hits...
He's kinda used to getting what he wants/needs when he wants/needs it - not used to having to wait...
Work busy.Ns sent a westbound stack train when I got off of work.Chores to do here.Brother could be in the path of Mike.Depends which way it turns.Calling for first frost by the end of the week here.
Solid white precip predicted here tonight - What fall? Trees at this elevation are still green. Copcar may already be looking at a white coating. Boss Hen is picking any 'maters of color right now. Garden is probably done.
Regardless, the moisture is welcome.
Had a momentary power interruption about 1840. thank goodness for surge protectors. Started raining here about 8 hours earlier than predicted. Standby generator up and ready with 25 gallons of non ethanol gasoline on hand that will go into mower if not used. . Propane gas grill is ready as well .

My sister said she had to go wading to get to work the other day (area of Monaco and Evans).
Meanwhile, we set a new record high today at +82F or so.
We're supposed to get a "correction" later in the week.
