The CB Saga Continues

If any one bothers to read and follow my Blog,,,,,my god you must be bored,,,,then you will know that i,m not much on CB,s.
To recap, Michelle (Spirit Chick ) our resident blonde bombshell lent me one of hers on a resent trip together,,she would drone on for hours on the CB and i would telephone her to ask what she had said,,,,
Well as luck would have it, on this trip i ran with another Spirirt driver, Ken,,,nice chap him..
We met at Billings FJ,then ran down through the Yellowstone Park,then Down to just short of Salt lake City where we parted company,, Ken had heard that i have a CB,,so he called and called me till he was blue in the face.
My phone rang... a very irate Ken.."turn ya CB on" he said politely ????
" hallo Ken, i dont have a CB " i replied politly
" yes you do, Michelle gave you one,"
"Ah ha,"says i "that was in my nice new truck, i drive now the old donkey"
5 minutes latter Michelle rings,, " Ken tells me you dont have my CB,,why ??"

This ends the news flash.....Back to the plot ?????

What was i talking about..???? CB,s
Michelle was asking why i dont have her CB in the truck
"coz i dont understand what any one says on it dear, so i put your one in ya car"
And so continued the conversation of Ken and Michelle trying to convince me to get a CB,,which i shant..even tho Andy in Nova Scotia has taken pity on me and offerd a freebie...all i have to do is go to NS and pick it up ??????

10/4 Good Buddy We Gotta Convoy.

Mean while back at the Spirit ranch,after i had unloaded my potted trees and what not Scott the boss explained the new game plan....you have to be on the ball 24/7 at Spirit,,not a job for lilly liverd whimps..!!!

I'm to load my flat deck (skateboard in CB talk)....whats with all this cb talk suddenly ??

And Michelle ( Spirit Chick) is taking the Georgia Florida load,,,could this be the start of some thing big ??? A CONVOY...Sure is good buddy,,

Scott agreed to buy me a CB..Woo Hoo...Kim said no..Boo Hoo

So i called Michelle at home to set up a departure time for Saturday,,,We got a Convoy..

It was the 5th of May on a saturday,

two red hot truckers fired and ready to roll
The blonde haired Spirit Chick and The Gremmie were about take a stroll, 10/4

The 75 came and went,the border was a breeze

Parked that nite inRothsay,just for a sexual tease,???

Sunday morn,the kenworths sped across the open plains

I put on my shorty shorts to hide the embarressing stains.10/4

The CB,s crackeld and hissed,
the Chick wanted to call

The Boss and Kim were buying dinner

theyr'e gonna have to pay for it all, 10/4

We stopped many times,that first day

the chicks bladder wouldnt hold !!!!

Said you need a dipper,gal

By Iowa city it was 29 times all told..10/4

Yes so we ran together down to Georgia,as KIM woulden't let me bye a CB Michelle lent me one,,which was a bit of a hoot,coz i understood next to nothing she said,and phoned her to get clarification every 10 mins..

Michelle loves country music,so in Nashville i took her past the Old Oprey,which she enjoyed

We stopped just south of Chattanooga,and slept the nite,,,in sepparate beds

Michelle left early to make her Atlanta drop,,i slept till late,had a hearty breakfast,and very slowly ran farther south to pick her up again at a truck wash...Awww how romantic,,a date at a truck wash..

Hey sexy legs

Spirit Chick had a 2nd drop in Tampa area and i Orlando,so with a quick kiss and hug we parted company....

The guys at my drop did their usual good work,,ie, let me sleep whilst they unloaded,then woke me in time for hot coffee and a chat and a giggle,as the girls from the office came out too.

At 8am it was allready 28c warm,as i headed for my first pick up in Miami,250miles farther south of Orlando. A 1953 Willys Jeep,rescued from the korean war.

My route took me through this town.....

This is orange growing country ...

My next port of call was 460 miles north up the Atlantic coast to Savana Georgia,to pick up a road roller,then head south east to Tifton for a large refridgeration unit. My forth and final port of call was Quincy Il

Michelle who had a full load of tomatoes and i met up at Iowa City and ran back home together,both really pee'd of with the northern weather,rain and sleet as against the humid heat down south...

Oh well we cant change the weather,but i think Michelle should stop flooding the US...????

Gremmie Goes Home..????

I was supposed to take a reefer load to georgia and Florida,,this load was put back a week so another trailer full of spuds to Minneapolis..

Those unloaded i was dispatched to pick up a full load of trees and shrubs,,???

I contacted the customer and explained that my trailer was really dirty inside and it would take me several hours to cleane,,"never fear" he said "we'll do it for you, just get here ASAP.

So like a speeding bullet i wiggled through the Minneapolis rush hour traffic,swatting cars and other poor fools that happend to get im my way like flies. Forging my way ever onwards only to go home....this is all a bit melodramtic..???

Yes to go home..to Hastings. Here was i a Hastings lad loading shrubs and trees in my home town,,,well not this Hastings Minnesota.

But i did for a brief moment get all nostalgic,,,tell the truth you blubberd like a baby,,,!!!

I booked in at the customer and reminded him that the trailer needed a good cleane out first,, "park on the ramp,you are loading dirt here aswell"??'

The chief loading chappy was a Mexican,spoke good English,sat on a fork lift,holding his two way radio looking first at me then into my reefer,then back to me then gazed in dismay at my

trailler..2 can play at that game pal..so i looked at him then into my reefer,then back to him,looked him straight in the eye and said " do you want some free spuds ?" luckely he did,,so did all his amigo's ????

Reefer cleane now to load my herbasciuos border..????

Eat ya heart out Percy Thrower
