Now that's funny. where the new silo's are there at Joetown - that's exactly where our house used to be. When we lived there, the only things for the mine's around was the fan and an emergency shaft. They built the lake across the road a year before we moved out.

My dad rented the house/land (150 acres) for $120 per YEAR!!!

Was a lovely place to live - an hour to get anywhere...

 

you should have fought to keep THAT deal...even if they took the house keep the land and sock a trailer on it!!!

Lovely area...wouldn't mind livin there me-sef....'ceppin the part 'bout bein a hour from everthin'....

 

just found this site with some trucking songs on it

:rock:

 

Not being mean, but do all/most drivers seem to love country?
I've been out with Swift for three months now, and have gone one without a sattelite radio. In Hellholes like Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, etc., nothing, but Country, Gospel Country, or Gold Country on the FM.

Now that I've finally gotten a Sirius, I'm glad to say my favorite road songs are, "I am the Highway" by Audioslave, and "The Eraser" by Thom Yorke.

BTW, I'm SoCal born and raised and I hate the snow and cold with a passion.

 

David Allan Coe "Lil Brother Trucker"

 

The only time I listen to 'regular' radio (FM) is when I'm at home, mainly because once I get home, it's almost impossible to get me into anything with wheels on it. :lol:

 

I do the same thing to.
Mainly because here in the Inland Empire, we've got X103.9.
An Indie station where alternative and anything will be played.
Not to mention the DJ's are full of energy and talk like normal people.
The rest of the country seems to be Clear Channel or Infinity territory.
