Cool pics.

Brings back memories of my time at Greenham Common driving MAN Trucks. They have 4 wheel steering and an "automated" transmission...you use the clutch to start and stop but not to up or down shift. Weird to get used to. During training we had to drive through this pond.

I grew up with a 53 Dodge that you used the clutch to start and stop like that
 
Safe travels ! roads are clear and the sun shine will be out to enjoy (Y)
 
I am sure it is cold where your are but it has been quite nippy here in D/FW........

It's been colder in dfw than Ft campbell.It got down to 22 degrees by the time I got over to Knoxville it was in the upper 30's.
 
Now I'm in Ft worth waiting for the gate to open.Had to get there the long way.I 35 construction had a bunch of exits closed
 
Oh don't you just love it when exit's are closed ! I went threw Memphis this year and could not turn off to pick up my brother and I had to do a 10 mile circle, waiting yea say ! what time they open the gate ?
 
Lol.I'm home now .I had to drop of my truck to get some stuff fixed.The Warden is fixing steak and eggs!

Cool photos at Ft. Campbell but was surprised to see they let you take photos. Hope you will be home from Greely by New Years Eve.
 
nothing the spying haven't shown
I just think of that poor kid that got busted for taking pics. in the sub and got a year behind bars. They, if I recall, where unclassified as well. Never know who is watching. Just cant get the movie Enemy of the state when Gene Hackman says " never look up"

Bobtailin up to Commerce City Co to pick up a tank going to Calguary Ab.If I have time might stop and visit a couple of crazy Canadian's in Lethbridge Ab.When they dangled a carrot in front of my faceI forgot to check the weather.I hope no storms are brewing
 
When I was on the road I had a CB in my car AND One I could set up in a rental car quickly out of a suitcase with a 100 w kicker.. and at 2AM, I would sing this at the top of my lungs..

Gloom, despair and agony on me...
Deep dark depression excessive misery..
If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.
Gloom, despair, and agony on me..

Plus I composed the Trucker's blue Yodel, inspired by the singing brakeman, Jimmy Rogers .. I'll see if I can member the verses.

Teee for Truckin'....jus tempo-rary..
Teee for truckin...jus tempo-rary,
