But i can't lie i still enjoy the quick get your numbers maybe a weather report and then we're on our way to the next one. But i get it, just a normal conversation...

    Haven't been on the forum in Months!! Was still having problems with the son's drug addiction. I had went to work in OKC two and a half hours away from the house only to get a phone call from my daughter tell me my son was taking my tools and whatever he could get his hands on. So immediately...

    What year and why did you get into the Radio Hobby?

    1976 my Dad bought a 23ch JC Penny Pinto, back when everyone had at least one CB radio. I played around with it when I was a kid. Then in 1990 I dug that little Pinto out of my dad's closet and stuck it in my little 1989 Ford Ranger. Been playing with radios off and on ever since then. I still...

    Better Base Antenna... A99 or PT99, or similar?

    I had an A99 years ago, I was happy with it. But if you go home brew the co phased ground plan in my opinion talks and receives circles around my old A99, I don't know about the other antennas mentioned ive never owned one of those. You can get plans from Mower Junkie on U Tube, and go as cheap...

    "Professional Steering wheel holders"

    My favorite driver I delt with at work was an old school driver we nicknamed Washita Bob. He could drive circles around everyone else I deal with. he was in his early 70s , he finally had to retire because of health issues. I sure do miss him. I even learned some tricks loading trucks because...

    "Professional Steering wheel holders"

    I'm sure there still are some drivers that have been at it for years . But the one's I've seen with their barefoot hanging out the drivers window diving down the interstate, I don't trust to much.

    "Professional Steering wheel holders"

    Let me start by saying , I know there are a lot of truck drivers on here and I am in no way trying to belittle truck drivers. Our country needs your services. But, over the years of driving from Oklahoma to West Virginia I've noticed in the last year or two there are a lot more Truckers that...

    DINNING OUT IS A DISAPPOINTMENT

    Exactly, I stopped to get a fast food burger ( it sucked) and I thought to myself, it's almost like I'm being served by an emotionless robot. Took my money handed me a cup and never spoke a word to me other than the amount it cost me. I also wonder if it's these phones, younger people don't...

    DINNING OUT IS A DISAPPOINTMENT

    Spelling isn't my strongest point, neither is math. Reading comprehension was always off the chart, just don't expect me to spell anything. When my daughter was in school she would ask me how to spell a word, then laugh while I failed miserably. I asked why she wanted me to spell something...

    DINNING OUT IS A DISAPPOINTMENT

    I noticed I misspelled Bears, It's the little hole in the wall close to the house that I've been told is really good. He processes his own beef, it's $50 a plate but supposedly worth the money. I'll have to think heavily about that, just me and the wife is a 100 dollar bill. We've discussed...
