Plus the camp fires are also priceless
Times spent with family no mater what you do are priceless

One of the customers at the winery I was delivering to took this pic of the FedEx sprinter van that had just rolled into the lake, and posted it on facebook. The driver had been parked right where I was, facing the lake, and he left it running and in gear while he delivered the package. The engine is probably toast from sucking water in, the packages inside are all soaked, the driver will probably get fired, and the winery will probably sue FedEx for the cost of draining the lake and cleaning out all the diesel fuel and coolant. What a mess!

This was the view from my truck. The FedEx guy was begging me not to take any pics, but I snuck one when he wasnt looking. I feel bad for him but there were 50+ customers up in the winery tasting room taking pics of their own with smart phones and there isnt any point in trying to keep a mess like this a "secret" in this day and age.

All that open space and the guy ends up in the drink. These guys do half the work we do. Why do they leave their trucks running? Does it really take that long to start it?

I think the tow truck driver took this one. I had customers at other stops showing me pictures 20 minutes after it happened and wanting to know if I was there or if I saw it. Talk about going "viral".....!

Feel bad for the driver. I worry if I put tire tracks in the spring mud.

Not something I grew up with. My wife's family are really into it so, I guess I acquired a taste for it. Even if it's just for a weekend at a state park, we get to decompress away from home and forge memories for our two boys.

Fishin', bike ridin', nature trailin'.... That's that good stuff. Someday, I hope my kids will say to me: "Remember that time we went camping and "something" happened? That was awesome, Dad."

Can't put a price on that.

From the time my kids were about 4 or 5 to when they were in their early teens we went camping probably 3 weekends a month during the summer. The majority of it was State Parks in Minnesota but we did do the Dells, the Badlands and Mt. Rushmore a few times. We had another UPS family with kids about the same age as ours who camped with us most of the time. Those were fun times.

Camped with my twins when they were 4 months old. Boy, that was fun. One of them is camping in Georgia this weekend, or at least sleeping in a tent at a music festival. Now when we camp it's me and ma.

We just got back into camping 3 years ago when I bought my Harley and my toy hauler. There isn't much "roughing it" anymore.

Those look like the trout we used to catch in Idaho (brown, rainbow and cutthroat in the Snake River).......and it was just a stream with holes every so often.

These are all stocked trout..are rivers aren't deep enought to hold or to grow as big as you propley get in the snake river ..one day I will fish that river

That's my boy.

Awsome that you rescued the kitten
Takes good people to dedicate a home for stray animals

Well it was that or let her get killed in the ups yard....not a tough decision. I'm hard but not made of stone...lol

 

[bleedinbrown58]

Looks like a runt. How is the little girl doing?

not so little anymore...lol

Tell that guy don't let his kid play in the street and he wouldn't need to worry about it.

 

[wayfair]

trust me, I would if he was out when I'm in the area...

kind of want to pull it out and lay in on the ground, run it over a few times, then stake it back... lol

 

[cachsux]

Depends on the area. I live in a rural neighborhood with one way in/out and it's common for the kids to run around on their bikes or play catch or hockey in the street. In a much busier area obviously that shouldn't happen.

Turnpikes, highways, county roads, city streets, alleys, service drives----any surface made for vehicle traffic is not meant for kids to play on. We all know they do and although it seems perfectly safe in a quiet neighborhood the fact is---its wrong. Having said that I know the town closest to me has a law that bikes can't be ridden on sidewalks. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
