Down town for sure! I'd be fine there, but here in the better part, yeah... not unless it is snowing, hah!

I've been to a lot of places down south when I used to run the big board(trucker speak for driving both Canada and the US)but I never made Reno,did Vegas a number of times.

Reno is an ok area. In the past, the city was geared towards heavy gambling, but now, tourism seems to be part of the larger focus. Vegas is pretty nice. My grandma lived there, so I would see Vegas all the time. Being under 21, I because quite bored of it myself

Yea that's one of the things I've never understood about the US,you can go get killed for the powers that be at 18 but can't have a beer till your 21?

Yea one trip back in 97 to the new BHP diamond mine north of Yellow Knife NWT,it's nowhere near as glamorous as it shows on TV,do the words boring and cold mean anything to you,it's apprx 300 miles,15 hours are we having fun yet.The companies that have the hauling contracts love that show,after the 1st season they had over 10000 applications from guys that think it's going to be great.

Just think VC that's 1 minute of video try 20 kms an hour(loaded)for 4 or 5 hrs..zoom baby zoom

I also scored a really nice grey double breasted overcoat for $15.00 and its like next to new no holes no tears no nothing it was really taken care of .

Something different. Army issue coat, boots, and beanie. Staying warm on the run to the mail box

Just curious Splinter why do you call it a beanie,up here in the frozen north we use the word "toque" pronounced like toook?

Here in my neck of the woods we call it a toboggan.

Well RBH to me that'd be a strange word to use for head wear unless you're just kidding?Real good word for sled though.(haha)

We call sleds out here that too. Never hear of a hat called that---even a stocking cap.

I think RBH was having a little fun,at least one would hope that was the fact unless what they say about Arkansas is correct........(haha)

Growing up as an Italian kid in the Bronx, knit hats were known as "gupalines", which is still used by my family.

And what would they say about Arkansas?

You know when I wrote that RBH I knew you were going to say something,it's just a tongue in cheek thing could be any state or province "you know what they say about".....I'm sure you understand that no offense was meant.

Well I would guess I owe you an apology,in 53 years I have never heard of anyone refer to them as a toboggan according to your attachment it seems to be a southern thing,guess it's like the British calling a sweater a jumper,never heard of in my neck of the woods.I was sure you were just kidding around,again I aplogize and I never meant to offend.

What are you wearing today??
