Since playing ETS2, I find I've started to notice trucks more. Taking more notice of make/model (and empathizing with the poor sap in the R360 struggling to get up a barely noticeable incline), noticing twins are becoming a more common sight on our roads, etc...

This morning, however, while walking to work, I saw a MAN 8x4 (too much clutter in the central reservation to see which model it was, sorry), hauling a Caterpillar 390D on an 8-axle beam trailer and I was amazed I actually felt excited about having seen it. I think I should be worried...

I was almost late for a doctor's appointment at my local V.A. Clinic last week because I spotted a spanking new Volvo VNL 780 and drove alongside of him for awhile just admiring the lovely, sleek lines of this largest of Volvo's "Long Haul" American trucks...

I was going to follow him to his destination so I could take some pictures, when I discovered to my utter disgust that I'd rushed out of the house so fast I forgot to slip my smart phone into my pocket! Drat!

I may be 47, I felt like a kid again.
Or should I say, the wife thought I was a big kid. Alongside the crazy
