Dang it! I missed #HineyHolidaze #VFTC

@TheNose100 and @Tachoblog

I let time get away from me and wow.
Here's my late entry into the #HineyHolidaze gallery
of trucking rear ends.

I'm making sure I get in early for #FrostyFenders

shamefully late and with much regret

Good morning. Pulaski, VA. I-81 S. #VFTC

So near to Mom's house.  Let's
see if things work out and I get to
visit with Mom today. 

A prayer and God's speed will at least make me feel
better if things don't work out with the visit.

Enjoy today as best as you can.
This time of year can be rough on the driver with
youngsters.  Let's remember those at home who keep
the porch light lit and the kitchen warm.

Thanks
Walt.

Oh! Yeah, it'll stop you.

Stopping in one of these is not a soft landing.

Not only will "escape ramps" break your truck, it'll
break your wallet too.

Fines and fees to reset the ramp are driver's responsibility.

Those slow speed limits on steep grades are for real.
Pay attention, don't be a jerk.

Play nice y'all.

Oh, this is the escape ramp at the 90 degree turn on
US Route 322 E coming off 7 Mountains near State College, PA.

Sun cracks the Sky. #VFTC

Near Utica NY the Sun breaks
through on a fine Tuesday morning.

You just don't get views like this in a
9 to 5 grind.

A virtual reality. US Route 17 N

Just playing on a Sunday morning.

Using an old photo editing program.
Paint Shop Pro ver 9.4

A before and after edit for you perusal.

Just messing around.
Enjoy.

Ice fog and frost. #VFTC

A frosty morning in Olean, NY.

This is a little duck pond at Olean Wholesale
Grocers.  At this time the geese have moved in.
But, I've woken before the geese today.

I'm always trying to find something nice
to look at.  How about you?

Stay warm.
Be safe.
Enjoy the ride.

Passing fair. North bound. #VFTC

North bound and rolling past.
Just a damn fine day on the road
to Buffalo.

US Route 15, near Steam Valley Pa. 

Just an old gal (Goldie) passing through.

Danger! Little ones up ahead. #VFTC

A common sight along 2 lane roads are these little
"doll houses".  Be careful early in the morning.
There is a good chance that a child waiting for a school bus to arrive will come bolting out into your path.

Now that late fall is here winter isn't far behind.
Low temps, fallen leaves, running children and slow
school buses makes for an exciting time if you
come up on them too fast.

Enjoy the weekend and, "Hey, let's be careful out there."
