I took care of the lighthouse for year at Umpqua River Station in Reedsport, OR while I was in the Coast Guard. Those things are so labor intensive to maintain! Constantly wiping them down, lubing all the equipment so it rotates smoothly, wiping down the walls, scraping, repainting, polishing brass, cleaning lenses. Loved it, though!
Wow, what did you do, Tony,.....pick up some smokin' hot chick along the road? Pam ain't gonna like that, ya know! Been good to know ya!

Dammit, Kirk! Now I'll be playing that little game!
Be carefull trikebldr,it might be hard on your blood pressure :laughing: :rolling:
I drive a 24 foot Freightliner box truck OTR for a living. Depending on the run 1700 to 2500 miles in 4 days. I have been playing the "who is texting" game for a while now. With a bit of a height advantage looking in. I can't believe how the use of hand helds has skyrocketed over the last 2 years. It's getting to be that I see (almost) more people texting or on the internet than are not doing so. And they are wrecking.
