Traveling carver

Well i'm off on another trip. I'm a truck driver by occupation, a carver by hobby, and i'm getting ready to head out to Tacoma Washington. So if your out there in a truckstop and you see a driver carving instead of eating, make sure to stop by and say hi, it might just be me...lol!
Maybe i'll catch up with some of you along the way while i'm searching the trees along the highway for wood.

Have a safe trip! I had gotten to ride in a semi back in the late 80's. I loved it. I never wanted to come home. LOL

Marci, The older you get, the less comfortable the ride is. However,Today's trucks are a lot different than they were in the 60's, 70's and 80's.

Heard tell of an older Okie couple who sold every thing and bought a new Kenworth and started touring the country. well, they were hauling but was selective on what the hauled and where

Amen Bro, Lost mine a month after he retired. But in that month, we did a lot of fishingtogether just the two of us. Would have loved to have had him still but he is in a better place and is waiting. Sounds terible but I would not teade that month for the world.
Glad you got to pend a couple of months together traveling. Oh, only if that cab could speak.

best to you

Have a safe trip.

I've wanted to learn to drive a truck since I was 8 and I'm now almost 42. One of these days . . .

Keep it between the ditches.
