This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    More of my adventures over the road.

    Just another "annoying summer tourist" at a delivery north of Milwaukee.

    IMG_4729.JPG

    One of my most challenging deliveries ever, Minneapolis south side. Took about 20-25 minutes to blindside in, while avoiding the deep hole behind that fencing. Customer told me it couldn't be done. I said "hold my mug of tea". :) Must have got out and checked a dozen times! IMG_4798.JPG

    In their dock!!

    Ah the wide open prairie spaces!

    Tree Rock in Wyoming some 20 years ago.

    Bonneville Salt Flats Rest Area on westbound I-80 near Wendover, NV.

    Bridge over the Snake River Canyon at Twin Falls, ID. Almost lost my lunch first time crossing it as there's no warning. You're just on it.:eek:

    Pulling into the Donner Rest Area, I-80 west bound.

    A little fog in my future?? fog over highway.jpg

    Thunder storm near Big Spring TX about 20 years ago. I was parked for the night. Learned thunderstorms really are bigger in Texas. :p

    I think this was the Fraser River in BC. My trainee was driving at the time.

    I’ve worked in IT staffing/recruiting for the last 4 years. On the weekends I help my dad out at his auto repair shop. My grandfather opened it in 1953, and my dad took over in the late 80s. Still going strong all these years later.

    I've been a court officer for 15 years this coming June. Some of you may know it as a bailiff or deputy.

    My assignment last week was at the courthouse where the Lizzie Borden trial was held.
