LOL...even if I put the seat on the floor, I don't have those problems...I'm 6 foot...and usually sit back and up...I like leg room, and seeing over the hood.
Ha! Seeing over the hood is a challenge sometimes. If I put the seat too high I can't reach the pedals. :cry:

hehehehehe...snicker....... snicker....snicker!!! :wink:

Yeah I get that from my kids too. The boys are 6' 3" and the shortest girl is 5' 5". (My ex is 6' 4") Adapt and overcome!

Apparently the first one wasn't "junkie" enough for you. :shock:

Maybe they will let you put a set of training wheels on the next one :lol: :lol:

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Was flying debris a problem for you during all of this, I have always wondered what it would be like to have all of my belongings bouncing around me if I ever rolled over. Also, did you have any problems getting out when it was all over.

Hopefully I'm not offending you, my curiosity is just getting the best of me.
Regrettably, I can't help but be offended by that "training wheels" remark + the 1st remark about the 1st truck not junkie enough -- which I all too clearly understand exactly what is implied by it.

So, no-- I won't bother to answer what is an obvious answer about debris or climbing out. Have a nice day.
My Goodness Headborg,

I certainly meant no disrespect, simply trying to inject a little humor into a bad situation. I've never been a big believer in political correctness, nor do I take life to seriously.

I honestly though you would be more of the "roll with the flow" kind of guy. :?

Yup, that was another attempt at humor.

As always, best wishes.

I'm going to duck and hide in a corner now.

Well, here we set -- Pageland, S.C. 3 trucks empty ahead of me, and it doesn't look good.. it's almost noon( when operations leaves for the rest of weekend) and although they've sent directions to a shipper down in Charleston, S.C.-- they've instructed me to hold here-- not sure, if there's gonna be a load down there or not. So, I told them Thursday I needed to run this weekend to make up lost miles/$$$ after the accident. Today, is my Son's Birthday and Monday he starts college. I just wrote the check for his first semester. But, now-- despite sacrificing being home for this--- his

20th Birthday--- I'm setting in Pageland, S.C. without--- but seems this "lack of freight" is currently a product of this Storm coming in Northern Florida/Georga/S.C..

So, you just clip the seat belt to your......bra? Next time I'm up that way-- by your house....you'll have to show me that trick. You can use my truck to demonstrate......( that would at least get you IN my truck....)

:lol: :lol: :lol: No I put the clip on the shoulder strap to keep it from being pulled too tight across my neck. No bra involved, sorry. And I don't have to get IN the truck to demonstrate, nice try though. :wink: maybe next time it won't be so hot and I can bake that pie I promised you.

Thanks again for lunch!

Sunday, August 24th

Found some Controversy tonight--- at Uniontown, In I-65 Ex 41.

Guess, I'm 3 years behind. Tonight while looking for truck parking and a place to take a whiz-- I pulled off at ex 41 .

When I pulled up along front- I saw this sign--- and that was all it took!
Like waving a red flag at a Bull! I hate when people hide behind their 1st Amendment Rights to deny other's theres. Where's the ACLU!

I know it was stupid--- but I just had to walk across the street -- and get photographed and made famous.


Their sign is wrong also--- it's :

www.WAR-LINE.org


Much of the info on their site is also selectively false too.

They don't mention-- they are being sued by the owner of the Truck stop/Gas station across the street-- for trespassing to photograph truck driver's trucks-- then falsely report to their companies that the equipment was parked on Sinful Soil!( Lion's Den -- property)

So, if anyone needs a place to park at night--- there's plenty of room there
at ex 41. ( Will post more pictures when I get a better connection).
These protesters have basically -- bankrupted this otherwise sympethic business owner-- by scaring off all the drivers whom would otherwise be parking here.


IMO, worst of all these "Christians" are committing one of the worst sins of all--- they are Judging others- and casting stones.

Mat: 7:1

They watched me walk into that place-- they didn't/couldn't follow me in---
they do not know if preached a sermon or just asked the clerk questions about what was going on outside- but they did photograph me coming back out--and were keen to get pictures of the truck pulling out of the parking lot( across the street ). Now, I ask you-- is it truly "christian" to try and get a person --- fired from there job- thus not able to provide for there family--- by lying about certain "details" like Where the truck was parked?


I commend them for exercising their ---- 1st Amendment rights-

but when they deny all other's theirs?


In any event----- there's plenty of truck parking there-- and that little gas
station could sure USE YOUR PATRONAGE.

Yeah, kind of a wild situation HB. I deliver down there a couple of times a week. I posted an article not too long ago in another thread that you may find of interest.

cool.-- good job there--- see, I was right-- I'm 3 years behind.

Well, after reading the sign THREATING me ..... It just pissed me off- Wasn't really in the mood for Porn-- and the biggest crime I see going on there-- beside harassing drivers, costing businesses across the street. Is just
basic-- misinformation and outright lies-- Like Where drivers are parking.

News of the Lion's Den came on the heels of the rape and murder of Katie Collman, a 10-year-old girl who lived in nearby Crothersville.

Ralph Sweany, a retired engineer who acts as the protest group's leader, said the store was more than the small community could bear during its time of grief and said that its existence added to the potential that another incident like Katie's rape and death could occur again.



Katie Collman was raped and murdered after stumbling into a METH LAB and witnessing a drug deal go down. Her killer was strung out on drugs.

Seems, METH LABS are ok-- in Jackson Country to this "religious" group of concerned citizens... but a "adult video" store-- might get the drugged up customers of the ILLEGAL but NOT EASILY FOUND meth labs too excited and cause more RAPE & MAYHAM.

I commend the people who are trying to keep that BS out of their community! If I lived there I would support them 100%! And Headborg, don't use the bible when you don't have a clue what you are talking about. :roll:
