Gambling

 

SO,-- living in a state where casino's abound, I'm glad I don't have a gambling problem, BUT--

That doesn't stop many people from enjoying a night out at their local casino. 

Whether they win or lose, and my guess is they lose more than win, but are willing to spend that kind of money to say they had a great time over the weekend.  That brings me to the subject of this post.

Do you play "Texas Hold'em" ?  Would you like to learn ? If you already play do you do well or just muddle along loosing more than winning ? I have a new E-book that will show you how to play the game and enhance your chances of winning greatly, plus I'll include a report on some winning strategies for Craps, Blackjack and Roulette to give you a real chance to come home a winner, or at least, less of a loser.

Both are "FREE",  Just pay printing and shipping charges of $10 and even though I can't guarantee it, I'd bet you'll cover that easily the first night you use the information in the over 40 pages of this E-book.

So, If this interests you, please send $10, cash, check or money order to Clouse and Associates, 3309 E 73rd ST. , Tulsa, OK. 74136  and we will send it right out to you.

Your Own FOOD Supply

After the food shortages from Covid-19 I think I've found a solution for us all !

              Subject: Prepping to Become ILLEGAL?

Steps are already being taken to BAN prepping... especially stockpiling food right here in America.

For example, Trump has signed an executive order that gives the government authority over  EVERY resource and infrastructure in the USA.

For many American families, stockpiling will turn out to be a HORRIBLE idea... because the military, national guard, and local police can enter our homes and search them without a warrant...

And take any "excessive resources" that you may have accumulated. This includes your food stockpile.

But after 13 years of dedicated research, there is an invention... a "food stockpile" that they can NEVER steal from you... and that will keep you and your family well fed in a crisis.

Some prepping experts call it "The Holy Grail Of Self Sufficiency".

Hauling Swinging again !

 I scared myself again with a load from Texas to the east coast.

Up until then I had not come into Indianapolis from the west on I-70 and had forgotten how sharp the curve was at the junction of I-70 and I-65 in downtown Indy. I was running with another guy that had a load of lettuce for the market in N.Y. and just wasn't paying attention where I was or what I was doing.

I had stepped over to the left lane to pass a couple of tankers that had just entered the interstate, when I saw the curve and realized where I was and I immediately new I was going to fast [60] for the 45 mile an hour curve. It was a good thing that I was in the left lane as it gave me some extra room to let the truck drift once the truck made all of the shifting moves.

The two eastbound lanes merge with the two northbound lanes of I-65 right after the 45 mph left hand curve, giving me 4 lanes to drift through if no one is in my road on I-65, which there wasn't. I new I couldn't get on the brakes or turn any sharper once I got the truck set in the curve and just had to ride it out. I drifted all the way over until I was almost against the wall on I-65 when everything settled back down, "another seat spring event". The guy following me said that the left rear trailer tandems were clear off the ground  and I new when the trailer finally set in the curve that the front corner was resting on the drive tires. GOD had his hand on my truck that day and I immediately thanked him for keeping me safe.

EATING OUT !

            50+ years of eating out

As a trucker I got a lot of experience with eating in restaurants and I miss the good old days !

It used to be a perk of over the road trucking, to be able to stop at a Mom and Pop T/S somewhere and get a taste of the local cuisine.

 Then came TSA. James Ryder of Ryder Truck lines fame, or little r as we called them, Roadway was Big R, started "Truckstops of America" later to be sold and renamed Travel centers of America or T/A.

They competed with "76" T/S in the east and south and "SKELLY" and the like in the west, but TSA  gave us a really good place to stop and get close to home cooking, until they were sold, at that point they started going down hill, "76" was sold, "Skelly's" were sold and a new franchises came on the scene, "Flying J".  "Petro" and "Pilot" were growing and "Petro offered a good meal where "Pilot" and "Loves" just offered fuel and junk food. "Petro" got sold to the same company that owned T/A and turned it to crap. That was about what we had to deal with as most other places wouldn't allow trucks in their lots for various reasons.

"Pilot" eventually bought "Flying J" and a few Mom and Pop's so that there isn't much difference where you eat, it all tastes about the same, like crap.

My last post I offered an E-book for anyone that was thinking about starting their own restaurant and here would be an excellent place to start. If you could get into a busy T/S and fashion your restaurant after an upbeat hamburger shop with several different menu items, all using hamburger as the main meat [ the new breed of trucker has settled for cheeseburgers and French fries ] you could do well.

 I wish I would have been privy to this information about 40 years ago, I would have retired from trucking and had a quality restaurant now.

Hauling Swinging Meat !

 

As I stated in an earlier post, my experience with bulk liquid tankers proved beneficial shortly there after as I got a job with Clay Hyder truck lines from Auburndale, Fla. and started a long stint hauling OJ from Fla. west and Meat back to Fla. While doing that I had a couple of good scares learning how the meat reacted differently than the liquid.

With a tanker, the weight stays low in the trailer but with swinging meat the weight is hanging from the roof so the shifting of the meat causes the trailer to want to fall over !  Making it very unstable in curves, and just uneven roadways or driveway transitions could keep you busy holding it straight.

My first scare was with Hyder as they were a test facility for Goodyear truck tires and at that time Goodyear was just starting to offer radial tires for trucks, so I found I had a new set of steer tires on my truck when I started out for Texas with my OJ. I didn't notice much difference until I loaded my load of swinging for Fla. out of Guymon, OK.

Usually we would cut over to 287 and run south to Dallas, then I-20 To Jackson, Ms., 98 down to Mobile, I-10 to I-75 and south to our delivery, but a few of us cut a lot of miles off by running the 2 lanes southeast across Ok. to I-40 and cut down through the woods to get to I-10 in Fla. I was one of those and found out real fast about the new tires and how they reacted to curves.

See, when you go into a curve with swinging, the first thing that shifts is your suspension, then the load, and you manage the curve but with radial tires you have a third shift, the tires rolling over the sidewalls. when your not ready for another shift, that tire roll, Your ass sucks seat springs big time !  But after time you learn how to compensate and all is well.
