Labor Day parade last year with my company car. I've since put on a new hood ornament called the "Flying Goddess" and a rechromed front bumper and new LED marker lights.

Nobody calls you a "girly girl"!!! Not that's a big truck!

Oooohhh I've been known to wear high heels and a dress and drive that if needed! As a matter of fact, tomorrow.... :grin:

Donna,
I can spell, "now" that's a big truck.

I have watched truckers is similar rigs in areas where no sane person would go with something that big. It amazes me how they can wheel around, and back up!!! I back a boat trailer twice a year.... It shows..... I wear a bag on my head and show up late at night at the boat launch because I am so bad!

And you have to use mirrors to back up! I have a ton of respect for that!

Who said I was sane? I've scared the crap out of myself before. My biggest compliment had to be the time I was sitting in my tractor taking a break, eating an ice cream cone and a guy in a pick up truck drove by...backed up...said he was a truck driver too but he had to ask me "How the HELL did you get in there and how the HELL are you going to get out?" And I was pulling doubles...you don't back those up very far. Gotta go straight everywhere you go or you get in a real pretzel...like you gotta break up the set (if you can) or call for a hook. And I thought the hardest part was climbing one handed into a cabover truck with an ice cream cone.
At my vacation place a lot of the neighbors wives are really happy to see me so I can back their boats in the lake for them while their husband pilots the boat. We have a very steep launch ramp....a lot of divorces start on that ramp so I figured I have saved some marriages. All in a days work, I love it!

I love the picture of Teresa....she's very petite and you'd never imagine she would kick your butt and filet it too.

Here's a few more of East Idaho while my son and I have been out hunting. Lovely fall weather we've been having.

Great pictures everyone!!

I have been offline for a week or so. No power for a few days, and then a HORRIBLE flu!! Just catching up on all the posts.

Here are a few pictures on me "in real life". As you can see, I like to travel a bit...

Also one from halloween last year. ARRRRGGGG!!

Funny you should say that! This 19 year old tractor and trailer used to be pea green. It was a working rig with the former company S.E. Rykoff.

Don't worry, I definitely will!! I really would like to go back again soon. That picture was taken 4 years ago in September. I loved it when I was there. So BEAUTIFUL!!!! Even got a bit of snow

Snow seems to come at all times of the year around here, we've had snow in July. Sounds like you are feeling better, at least I hope so. The flu thing this year is pretty nasty.

I am feeling a lot better thank you. I was MISERABLE over the weekend. High fever, body aches, chills, YUCK!!! Did not even get out of bed much for three days :-(

Boy, I sure would love to have a picture of my CS right there where I am standing in the Tetons. Now that would make a NICE shot!!!

 

[Diesel Donna]

Great photos Renee'!!

 

[hookedtrout]

Squeak and I went out hunting again this morning and as usual a whole lot of shooting but no game in the truck just a whole lot of digital shots. Maybe if I left the camera home I'd actually look for deer & elk instead getting so wrapped in the beauty of my back yard.
