red,

You are so right....ol' Tugger baby is semi retired.....he sleeps out by the rig just waiting for his time to do a pull. No more grocery or liqqy store runs. Chaser baby does that now.

The ol' boy comes to life quickly and has never let me down...so like the energizer bunny......keeps going and going and going.....

I'd love to get a fresh one...but Mama be saying no way. Something about a fixed income! I've even told her since our new Tug would only be a tow truck, we could drop down on the model to maybe just a LT to save some money.....but she not buying it.....maybe I otta go out and get one and put a nice bow tie (pun intended) and park it out by the rig on Christmas morning.....Merry Christmas, honey....yeah that's the picture!!!

I think you just need to get out and start watering Tug down every morning. One day you'll wake up and maybe Tug will have finally grown up into a HDTug.

Just make sure that the fertilizer is "green' in color. It don't take much to grow up to the HDT size.

If the truth was know, none of us would want to know SKIA, Rockhead Tommie, Alias Tom Clapham . But we put up with him. The rest of us have meet on the road through diffferent forums and have meet face to face and are really nice people. The Excel Family Reunion is a great place to meet lots of nice folks. It is held every three years.

Some of us are very outgoing as you can tell. Not afraid to shoot off at the mouth and share ideas.

Chris,

Ol' bib baby says it like it is! If you ever have met him on the road like I have.....he's one scary cat! Big ol' burly guy with a pair of bib overhauls on...it looks like he's headed into town to have coffee with his croanies at the watering hole!!! Going to solve all the world problems.....it's a site to see....I'll tell. And his lovely bride is about the nicest thing.....there's a spot in heaven for that lady.....for puttin' up with bib's BS!!!!

PS...don't we have fun??!!!
