    I'm an old fart. My grandfather was a truck driver so I used the CB handle "boogs" when I was really little until about the third grade when I changed it to "E.T." I said it stood for "Extra Terrific."

    Well, I know what you're talking about, but never had one. Had a ham radio license, but "KC8LBU" just doesn't have that ring to it. :laugh:

    Haven't thought of that in years! After graduating high school I waitressed at a place that all the morning (4-7am) customers were loggers, truck drivers or hunting/fishing guides and their clients. I was also dating the grandson of the owner of the largest logging company in the area....so everyone knew me. I would have an escort of trucks every morning on my drive to work. Half the time I would have their breakfast orders before I got there. The guides would let me know how many in the party for the day so I could get them all set up. I drove a copper colored Mustang II with a vinyl top and sun roof so they called me Copper Horse.

    Wow! This brings back memories. Mine was "Almond Joy" when I was a kid. We would travel across country during the summer and talk to the truckers. They would alert each other to keep it clean because there were children listening. Good Times! :laugh:

    Haven't thought of those days in many years. I was Ziggy on the CB.

    I ain't old timer and I ain't wet behind the ear either. But trucking is something that gets into blood and it becomes a life style and a job

    My childhood name was Brown Eyes---had a home base growing up. As an adult I flipped back and forth between Brown Eyes and Nightengale.

    I'm an old fart! We used a CB one summer in the 70's driving from Michigan to Idaho. My Dad was Leadfoot, I was Bookworm and my brother was Little Britches. I don't think my mom had one--she didn't get into it.
