Good morning PA.

 

Good morning all.

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians and Othertuckystatians!! I'm still alive and kicking. Have been staying away from social media of late and just enjoying life. Hope all is well with everyone.

Lynn and I took our annual trip to Antigua - this year we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at our favorite resort and renewed our vows on the beach. We left the day before the big snowstorm dropped 1.5 ft of snow on our house. We were without power for about 3 days but the whole house generator kept things going.

Here are a few pics from our renewal ceremony. It was tough coming back from 85F to 19F.




The house that you can see behind our heads is owned by fashion designer Georgio Armani.

 

Good to hear from you Mark.

 

congratulations 50 years !

 

Good morning Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. @Devious6 congrats on 50yrs and happy your still alive. Looks like you and the misses had a wonderful time.

 

Mornin fellows to the west of my nuthouse

 

Hello neighbor to the south of me. That breakfast looks mighty good to me

 

I usually eat one big meal a day and then snack on light stuff so today I was up early enough for that to be breakfast. Tomorrow is back to work nightshift for 6 midnights in a row. That’s going to suck after being off for almost 2 weeks

 

Yea that's a rough shift.

 

I worked 11p to 7a for almost half of my life. I loved it. I had a hard time adjusting to a dayshift job.

 

I did a 5pm to 5am for 5yrs you get use to it after awhile. But going from that shift to a normal day time shift that was hard to re adjust too

 

I have never been good for much overnight. i briefly worked a night shift when i was in my 20s and survived. Even in college I never pulled an "all-nighter."

 

Driving tractor-trailer starting when I was 8 years old overnight is how I got my CB handle MidnightRebel. Started out hauling livestock and potato's from Umatilla and Stanfield, Oregon over Cabbage Hill, Deadman Pass and Ladd Creek (one of the deadliest mountain passes in the northwest) over into Nampa Idaho and up to Yakima, Washington. The 07 in my username comes from me only ever wanting to drink Jack Daniel's 07 when I'd go out with friends. Started out driving and an old early 70's Cabover back in '87.

I'd go out on overnight hauls with my stepdad and when he'd get tired I'd takeover, usually on the return trip so it was even more dangerous coming down Cabbage Hill from Deadmans Pass (especially in the colder months September-May) temps can drop 40-60° from the base of the mountain to the top of the pass. Learned how to drive safely and downshift real fast. The good old day of truck driving before CDL's, E-logs and automatic trucks.

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians and Othertuckystatians!!

 

A heartwarming way to start the day!

Congratulations!

 

Good morning all.
