That's funny. I remember that now. My parents were 22 in 1977 and I was 5. I could serve from a keg (no head of course), pass a joint and load up the turntable.

Looks like I'm home for another day. My truck is in the shop to have the power divider seal replaced because it's leaking. Well, they take the cover off and half the teeth from the gears falls on the ground. Big surprise.
Just waiting for the parts to fix it but should be all done today. For those of you who remember my intermittent vibration. Well, I think this is it and will find out in 2 seconds when I bobtail at 55mph. So, if this fixes my vibration I will look at this problem as a very positive thing and not just another $$$ down the drain.
I plan to head back out West if I can in search of Bandit. I've been lifting weights and walked like 1/4 mile yesterday getting in shape for an event I like to call "Bandit Smackdown". I feel I was blind sided in that Fight thread that I totally missed out on so I need to redeem myself.

I'm the definition of a badass.
Speaking of hobby truckers, have you ever gone to the casino and got trashed with one of your shippers after you unloaded then wrote a message on CAD from Canada? :lol: This punk youngin' did that today
(and even got a large tip!)

I hope that damage is the cause, and not the effect, of the vibration.
Good luck. It's not gonna be cheap.

You didn't read the rest of the thread where you ate taco bell, farted on me, and locked me in my trailer
I'm international right now, but u can look all you want. As stated above, I'm 3 sheets to the wind because my shipper I insisted we get hammered. The customer is ALWAY right!
Goodnight, waking up will be a bee otch

I got a load heading out this afternoon to Denver CO on my way to intercept Bandit. He'll probably still be sheetfaced when I catch up so I should have a fighting chance. 3 rolls of duct tape and a cab full of canned beans should do the trick.
Got my truck back yesterday and am now $1,900 lighter. Those gears were pretty massive and looked pretty intense.
I took it out for a test drive on the highway this morning and I'm pretty sure the vibration is gone. It use to be real bad bobtail at 55mph and now it's smooth as silk. I tried 60,65,70 and 75 and all is perfect. I'll bite my tongue though until I'm loaded and drive a few hundred miles but I think this was it.
Looks like I'll be humping it once again with this load keeping up 600 miles a day. The load picks up at 2:30 this afternoon so I'll come back home since it's along the way and head out in the morning.

Hey Steve, those ebay computers you pointed rank towards, would they also be useful for everyday use on the road with wireless card for internet searching load boards etc........ pretty much everything you're using yours for?
Nice video by the way, also your northern accent is much stronger than what you type with.
Did I just end that sentence with a proposition, preposition.....ahhh. :lol:

Yup, your right. There is no reason you need a bazzilion megahertz computer unless your doing heavy gaming. Your still gated by your connection speed so buy cheap. Until the day we are at Gig Ethernet speeds with fiber optic at home a fast computer won't do you much good.
I don't have an accent. It's the rest of you who talk funny.
