Be careful!

Be careful out there tomorrow night in your big 6.0 Power Stroke Diesel Trucks. Be mindful that you are the Big Dog on the roads. Practice defensive driving techniques and know what is going on around you at all times.

Do not be afraid to surrender your keys. Your friends will actually think better of you the next day. And for what it's worth? There is nothing macho about driving while drunk...I have never seen a macho dead guy.

Would hate to read a sad thread posted by a grieving spouse, child, or friend.

Personally, to many amateurs on the street for me on New Years Eve.

Have lots of fun...safe trucking... and do have a Happy New Year.

Thanks Keith, will do. Besides the wife and I have a tradition of staying home and watching t.v. on New Years Eve. We're just those kind of boring people.

Thanks for the well wishes Keith. And the same back to ya!
The wife and I tend to go out to the local casinos early in the day, then return home before the sun hits the mountains in the West. Too many crazy drunk people out there on New Years Eve. Besides, I gotta work the next day. Boo Hoo, oh woe is me.
From my house to all of yours, Ya'll have a Happy New Year!!!!

Our traditional New Years Day open house starts at 3:00 P.M. You're all welcome. Sure hope the Homeowners Association doesn't send me a hate letter for all the parked Super Duties in the neighborhood.

If I had a Bell Jet-Ranger I could make it to Keith's house in time. It wouldn't be the same w/o my PSD though. George's house is much closer but we're staying home this year. Just picked up a 12-pack of Oil Cans and put 'em in the basement fridge.

It's raining in So Cal which will unfortunately add to the body count tonight. Hope all of you party safely.

Yup we see it every year working on the rig. Its getting harder to deal with stupid people that don't care about the other person they might hurt or kill. We usally average 3-5 calls on this special night. I have allways wanted to vist them the next day and see if they are really that dumb. I quess the reason I could never see to drink that much and drive because my best freind was killed by a drunk driver when we were in high school.Don't be one of the dumb ones If your going to drink Dont Drive.
