Gonna Get Loaded Tomorrow

I just off the phone, dispatch called a few minutes ago with a load for me. I'll be picking up a military truck at an Army Reserve post in Ocala tomorrow and hauling it up to Ft Mc Coy, WI. It seems the Reserves in Ocala just received several new trucks and these old ones are being relocated for refurbishment and redistribution.

I've hauled quite a few old pieces of military equipment to Ft. McCoy so I am familiar with that base. Their primary function is the repairing and distribution of equipment for the Reserves as well as a great deal of training. It's a good sized base and is pretty easy to get around on.

Lies! Lies! Pack of lies.

This is un-friggin-believable Mason.

You are surely not hauling new equipment around for the reserves as we know for a fact -- thanks to FACTS that have been told to us by the Clueless Old Liberal here at JU -- that this isn't happening at all and the military is depleting equipment faster than it can be replaced.

So please, take back your pack of lies before the Clueless one comes around to tell the world just what a dirty dog liar you are. We don't need you to sully your reputation with facts now, do we?!

Yeah I know, no new equipment or "a drop in the bucket". Uh huh. I'm just a dumb old trucker and don't know what's going on as opposed to some old fool sitting at a computer screen.

Yep, ya caught me.

Oh, I see now that there's wiggle room in your original comments ... you're hauling around equipment that is going to be refurbished and not new equipment (at least not currently). That could mean that the Clueless One may come along and claim to be right -- at least temporarily -- but then again considering how old some equipment in the military arsenault is, and how well and long some of the equipment does it's duty for, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that the military is getting resupplies of it's equipment in a fairly reasonable manner.

Not that the Clueless One would ever let facts get in the way of any possible issue that could be used for bashing Bush. (As you've pointed out to him in recent comments).

Thanks. I've been doing as little as possible for the past few days so I guess I'm as rested as I'm gonna get.

Socrates sleeps a lot no matter what so I don't there's a problem there.

I know a used military equipment dealership in Oshkosh that could probably make you a good deal.
