A couple of weeks after I retired, I was invited back for the 30th anniversary of the Rockford facility. A local dealership provided a Pete for display. The area behind our warehouse had just been repaved. The markings on the asphalt designate locations for truck cabs and hoods. Biba! Joe Impressive rig for sure. Did you take your lunch cooler with you out of habit Joe? Prost!! Phil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Whenever I see a Peterbilt, it takes me back to Jr. High school in the mid-70’s and a teacher at our school. If anyone remembers the big burnished brass belt buckles with logos, brands, etc., stamped on them that were popular at the time, he wore one that had the Peterbilt logo, but right above it was stamped, “How’s your”. . It was a better world, back then… PS: I had a shitty small Sears Roebuck buckle that was pretty lame. But, I got a huge Coor’s beer one for Christmas that year that was friggin’ awesome. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an iron-on “ringer” tee with an “Old Truckers Never Die, They Just Get a New Peterbilt” design back in the day. Everything else had an STP logo on it.

I’ve been seeing on the road and reading about the conversation of trucks over to electric power. The world is definitely changing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, and our High School had an official student smoking area on the other side of the sidewalk out in front. Some underclassmen even went over there because they said they had "permission".

RT Fan Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Saw a bottle of Weller 12 in a local liquor store and just for a goof I asked how much, $300 was the answer. After I stopped laughing, I put the bottle back on the shelf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcgumbohead Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Up near TN for work so I decided to see if a New Riff Balboa rye might be available to me, no luck.... one of these years I guess. So I passed on everything else. I did stop by the Chattanooga Distillery and tried a few of thier wares. They are doing some fine work and one day I will add one. I held off as I was so hoping for that elusive Balboa that nothing else was going to suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good one from the memory of the pour I had. In GA so too far for a road trip . Wish they would release it in the spring then at least I would have a shot in KY on the annual Bardstown trip. Once the mania dies down in a few years odds will improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Rare @$48.99, yikes. I loved It at $29.99. Bought it up to $39.99 but had to pass at this level. Sadly, I would have grabbed it at $50/btl. Last 2 times I have been offered ER it was $90. I passed on it, I still have a reserve of a few bottles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I did. They also have a bottle of Blanton's, Glencairn glass set, and cigar for $68.99. It says 12 people are also viewing it right now. I wonder if it is the same 12 people viewing the bottle of Pappy. Looks like I need to make a road trip to Michigan.
