Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!

If you are driving tonight be especially careful when in the cities as some pranksters like to throw things off of the overpasses.

Be aware and drive safe tonight!

I can remember going thru NYC on July 4 and the kids chucking fireworks off the overpasses (as well as other things). I had a large charge go off under my buggie and thought I had broke something. They even fired roman candles at the trucks and cars.

We got ready for "Halloween" by changing the place we park our truck. When we visit Mrs. Layoutshooters mom near Ft. Lauderdale, we park at a Kmart that is right behind the senior complex she lives in. Worried about "pranksters" we took the truck out to the Seminole Truck stop at US27 and Griffin road. They charge $10 per night but they have 24 hour security. I feel better leaving it there. No use putting up a "big white target" for those idiots to mess with.

As always watch out for kids running wild. It seems adults have hijacked Halloween so there will probably be more drunks on the road than an average Saturday night.

Happy Halloween to ya

This morning I was in in the Shaving room a couple of guys came in and looked at me and one asked Dressing up for Halloween I see: Going as RAMBO. I SAID NO WHY? He said the clothes just thought you were as there is a guy out front in an army outfit. I laughed and shook my head.
I finished what I was doing proceeded out to the Store area.

Sure enough their was a guy dressed up as an Army COL.

I went to proceed out the door and the Lady behind the cashier desk called hey Rambo if your lookin for the COL he is right here.

Ya could have herd a pin drop the whole place got so quite.

Just so ya know I not wearing a costume. Really I'm not.

To everyone out there Happy Halloween.

I can still drive a few more hours today , but decided to park it for the night , one of the problems driving coast to coast is the sun , and in western Texas today it is blinding ...

more then that , it is the danger of hitting one of those flying broom sticks , it can really punch a hole in the radiator , and most of it's pilots are way too old to fly , they don't see so well , and tend to think they can fly trough walls and trees .

hitting a monster is not too bad , not like hitting a dear ,they don't have boons . you just need to quickly drive to the truck wash , before that sticky green stuff eats the paint .

spiders don't always die when hitting the wind shield , so you just need to watch your step when exiting the cab , some can be quite deadly .

if you drive in western Texas , and coming up to a slow moving pumpkins ... it's just a Schneider truck...

the only custom you need to be afraid of , if driving 2night, is the one of the state trooper ... he will not be amused...

I hope every one of you survived halloween last night and did not get your vehicles vandelized by the 'goblins & monsters' ! I, for one, had a blast. I dressed up in my pumpkin outfit & visited a 93 yr old woman that I knew. She said that I made her whole night by coming there dressed & fooling her into thinking I was a kid. She is the most amazing woman I've evr met & still going strong for her age. I was glad that I was able to bring some joy & delight into her night. Oh yeah, I did end up getting a big bag of candy too! :)

Only you Wingnut can get away with this! Glad you had a blast and made the old ladies day! She is probably still smiling this morning.

As soon as she saw me this AM at church, she gave me a huge hug & said that I look much different than I did last night. Then she told me once again just how much I made her night by dressing up & trick or treating @ her house and staying to visit. She said that she hasn't had that much halloween fun in yrs. Awwwwwwww, she's such a sweetheart!
Oh yeah Linder, guess I 'forgot' to mention that people also 'mistake' me as a child & only charge me child price for movie tickets. Once in awhile, my height is actually good for something. :)
