Title: I'm the new guy, for now
Post by: 54bobby on December 27, 2022, 03:18:33 PM
Let me start with the obligatory (thanks for the ad) My names Bob, 68 years old and I drive a dry bulk cement tanker for the past 8 years.  Before that food and beverage almost my entire life the last 20 years in Atlantic city as a chef. Was raised on Mitchell's, Penns, and Old Pals. Fenwick feralite's were my rods of choice. My 1st wife made sure I had very little of my equipment left upon the breakup. Anyway, I've  been back for a while doin a ton of crabbing in md but my grandson wants to fish so here I am with some knowledge of maintenance needs. See u guys in the other subforums

Sssss-up, Bob. Interesting career choices. Looking forward to your contributions. This Forum doesn't have any kid members(though I count myself as being childish about some things), but we love kid and grandkid stuff.

I was the new guy once. I still kinda feel like it compared to the knowledge shared here, but that's a wonderful thing. You sound like you'll fit right in around here.

Welcome Bob. Jason was the new guy and I gave him a hard time.

My son is living with me now. He was a over the road driver owning his tractor

I guess thats one way to say it. If Keith gives you as hard a time as he gave me you're a lucky man.

Good to have you here.  A better bunch of pirates you'd be hard put to find.  Maybe share a couple of your favorite recipes, we all love good food, oh and fishing too 🤣.  Bill, SoCal mountains

You are absolutely correct.  I'm a people person, life of the party charismatic flitertatious type guy. Going from being in a noisy kitchen flirting while supervising and being the breakfast chef it's an Uber fast environment to driving a tractor trailer 14 hours a day the solitude was Chinese water torture and bamboo under your nails. Then ya get to your delivery and get no good mornings or how was your weekend.  You get a signature and maybe 2 words like, SILO FIVE I walk out like what the heck wS that. But the money isn't bad so it is what it is.

Silo 5?  So I am guessing you are driving a bulk truck?
