Good morning!! Dang Lisa beat me to it.... I just got done watching that 1972 movie "Duel" where the guy gets chased around the hills of Central California by a rusty old Petebuilt. Whatta classic!! Kinda makes me glad I bring my.40 on road trips, 'cause I'm not gonna play games with some crazy dude in a rusty PB hehe. The other day I went on line and looked up the top 20 trucker movies of all time, and started downloading them from isohunt. Unfortunately I can't find "The Great Smokey Roadblock" LOL.........

Morning Mark, Danny.

Semi truck movies are cool.

I get to go play on a locomotive today. If I can sweet talk the mechanic, I'll get a video of the motor running without a cover on it.

Hey Mark, the heat is ok today, it might've hit 95* or a tad more. So far the worst we've had is only 110*, but it can get up to 145* out here. Feels like you sitting infront of a heater, only in the middle of summer

A man buys several sheep, hoping to breed them for wool. After several weeks, he notices that none of the sheep are getting pregnant, and calls a vet for help. The vet tells him that he should try artificial insemination. The guy doesn't have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to display his ignorance, only asks the vet how he will know when the sheep are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will stop standing around and will, instead, lay down and wallow in the grass when they are pregnant. The Man hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial insemination means
he has to impregnate the sheep. So, he loads the sheep into his truck, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them all, brings them back and goes to bed.

Next morning, he wakes and looks out at the sheep. Seeing that they are all still standing around, he concludes that the first try didn't take, and loads them in the truck again. He drives them out to the woods, bangs each sheep twice for good measure, brings them back and goes to bed.
Next morning, he wakes to find the sheep still just standing around. One more try, he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up and drive them out to the woods. He spends all day serving the sheep and, upon returning home, falls listlessly into bed.
The next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look at the sheep. He asks his wife to look
out and tell him if the sheep are lying in the grass. "No," she says, "they're all in the truck and one of
them's honking the horn."
maybe that's where sheldon is.

tending to his new flock of sheep??

I am so sorry for my customers that have pending orders,


I wont go into great detail in the open forum.

Let just say that since the new office controller got here last year she has been less then easy to work with.

I will land on my feet somewhere and be back to sponsoring this great forum. in the mean time I created a new user ID and will keep in touch.

I never really did fit into their corporate atmosphere.

So being/trying to be a professional I will try to not say anymore about this here.

Damn it Ed! Hate to hear that man. I hope your able to find something soon. Something of your own possibly?
