I see I'm not the only one who enjoys a bit of time to myself. Can catch up with recorded TV, watch YouTube without interuptions. And surf the net 'till 3 AM.
I hear ya Chris! It is nice at times to do whatever you want. I've got plenty of projects to keep me busy, and I have a buddy just down the street to drink beer with in the afternoon. I bring my sandrail up here to drive around on the mountain roads. Unfortunately this summer I've spent more time working on it than driving it. Going to a big family wedding in Hannibal, Missouri next week. I love road trips! I'm going to do my best to stay off the interstate highways. Taking mostly state roads that kinda parallel the interstates. Life is good!
I got my sign! It is a BIG one!!! I woke up at 4 am, took my morning piss, and then remembered, oh ya, I'm a sign collector. I got dressed and fired up the old Chevy truck. After driving 5 miles on a dark, windy, mountain road there it was, kinda. The sign I wanted still had a bolt in it holding it to the pole in the ground. Bummer! I didn't bring any tools. Then I barely noticed in the pitch black darkness, another sign. It had been ripped from its posts from the previously mentioned accident. As I said, this baby was BIG! 5 foot tall by 8 foot wide! It barely fit in the back of the truck. Huffing and puffing I got it loaded up. Hopped in the truck and drove back home. Dang there were a lot of deer next to the road on the drive back home. I guess I didn't see them through the fog on the way there. I parked the truck in the backyard and went back to sleep. I woke up a little later and took the sign apart. A very nice find indeed! I'd upload a picture, but with barely a half a bar it'll just jam my phone up. Maybe later today when I'm in a real town.
All right, here's a picture of the sign from the back. I might be a smartazz, but I'm not a dumbazz. I am not going to show a picture of the front of the sign, or signs because that would be evidence on where they came from. Robert Mueller could do a two-year investigation and even he would come up with nothing, as always!
I'm driving down the highway right now. I just saw a reindeer sign. That's something we don't have in Florida. I'll have to work on that
Dang Fred, I was going to thank you for "Got your go fund me started." That Fred sure is a nice guy! Then I put my glasses on and saw you said, "Get your go fund me started now." That's way different! Glasses suck!
Dang John, you're living the good life! Next time your wife decides to leave you, see if she wants to take mine with her!!! I got some stuff I wanna get done!!
This one highway I travel a lot... Someone put red dots on all the deer crossing signs. Very cute. That quite possibly make those signs a high priority for me. Another sign story... I already had gotten the Lee - Jackson sign. Going to my son's basic training graduation in western Georgia I see I'm on President Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway. Oh hell ya. What beautiful signs along the way. I was unprepared and my wife was with me. A month later my oldest son and I are on our way to BG for the Nationals. We went out of our way to get one of those signs. We'll check this out. It looked do-able at 70 MPH. When we actually stopped with wrenches we just stared at the sign. That SOB was sooooo BIG!!!! It was impossible. That's the fish that got away!!!
Mr. SRiley, From the old song from about 7 or 8 summers ago.... "God is great, beers good, people are crazy." I have a great time with my wife, but I also have a great time without. I'm chuckling. That's funny!
Hey Bill, No. The signs do not point towards lodging, food, or gas. There is none of that here. There is nothing! I don't know how a lot of the locals, kids included, get so fat. Must be the chips at Dollar General.
