You better be OFFERING him one of those "misdeeds" or he'll have YOU for lunch! :lol2:

OK yahoos! I haven't had a chance to get back with y'all as I've been having to much damn fun! Alaska is wonderful! It is actually 10:13 PM here so I am going to keep it short with a few photos for tonight.

Kat: Sorry that I missed you! I kept my Toyota to the extreme right anytime that I saw a big BBR Peterbilt coming my way. I remembered Tammy's video and could pick out her trip around Muncho Lake. Too bad that I didn't study a bit harder else I could have dropped by Golfhobo's booze stop.:nana: Cause we all know that drinking in a CMV is OK!:hellno:

I have my Alaska CDL. Don't really plan on using it, but want to keep everything current. I have to go to Anchorage to do fingerprinting etc.

Life is great up here! I found my gal and we have been having the time of our lives! Sorry not too much time to check in!:lol::nana:

Here are a few pics. I'll be back later.............time to go to bed.......(no photos of that WW LOL):moon:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah jeez Gary....Surely you saw them fuel hawgs they pull in MI! I bet they don't put much more than 12,400....maybe 12,600 gallons in that pig! Back in the day....IF I was to want to show impressive productivity numbers instead of haul legal...I could stuff one of the 8-axle jobbies in WA with 12,600. And still pull the hills around Seattle!! :lol2:

IF you go to driving one of them there hawgs.....get Wildkat to come up and teach you to back it up....I just know she can do it real good!!! :p

Be kewl Gary...DO NOT FEED THE BEARS!!!! Especially from the back porch!! :lol2: :lol2:
