CB
I got into CBs back in 1975, around the time of the 55 mph speed limit. There were so many 4-wheelers with CB antennas back then. Now it seems that 4-wheelers with CBs are rare - that's probably a good thing.
Just recently, I found my old 23 channel Royce CB in the basement. Plugged it in and it still works. Yes, you guys are right. There was much more courtesy back then. The stuff that goes on now didn't happen anywhere near to the extent that it does now. I guess that's a reflection of society as a whole. Sad.

I love the CB radio. Everyone complaining about it fails to understand what the CB now has become - a source of entertainment.
I'm an agitator. I'll say anything and everything to piss you off. Just did it last night, rolling across I-10 there was this scumbag JCT driver that was tailgaiting an Interstate Dist. truck in the hammer lane. I get on there and say "hey btch get off my azz or I'm gonna slam on these brakes!" needless to say lots of entertainment ensued afterwards :lol: I'm one of those drivers that burps, makes noises, I'd fart if the mic cord would reach my azz, and yes I whisper "I aint got no panties on!" :lol: No I'm not gay or a cross-dresser. I just like to be entertained by someone elses agitation, anger and frustration, and I'm not going to apologize for it. I watch Jerry Springer and wonder "is this for real??" If so where do these people come from? Let the flaming start, I'm ready :twisted:

I really wouldnt care about the JCT driver, chalk it up as... what did Darwin call it? Natural selection.
Now getting to the honeymoon is over post I put up recently. Even my slowest week at Crete is still better then an average one at roehl. Dry freight slows down over xmas and I'm not gonna get too upset over 2500 miles this week.
