So last night the bands Ventana, Unsaid Fate, and Mushroomhead played the World Famous Machine Shop in Flint, Michigan. All three bands are from the Cleveland, Ohio area. All three bands play metal. Ventana, and Mushroomhead preform in elaborate masks. Unsaid Fate has a female lead singer Jackie that will also preform on stage with Mushroomhead. I was there to see 2 out of the three bands Ventana, and Mushroomhead.
The first picture is of Jackie surfing the crowd at the Machine Shop while preforming with Mushroomhead. The next picture is of Jackie with her band Unsaid Fate. The third picture is of Jeffrey Nothing the lead singer of Mushroomhead. The final picture is of the lead singer of Ventana.
Ventana rocked the house! Unsaid Fate was okay. Mushroomhead damn near tore the fucking house down like they always do. During the concert they announced that they are coming back to the Machine Shop on Jan 6th, so guess where I will be.

Most people have had a coney in their lifetime, but who has the best coney dog? I have traveled all over, but I didnt have to go far, and heck I didnt have to even leave the State of Michigan to find the best two places to have a coney dog. Now comes the hard part. Do I go for a Detroit Style, or a Flint Style coney? What is the difference?
A Detroit Style coney starts off with a Koegle Hot which just happens to be made in Flint, Mi. Take that grilled dog, and lay it on a bun. Top it with some Detroit Style chili sauce which is kind of like most coney chili. Add onion, and yellow mustard and throw down.
A flint Style coney starts off with a Koegle grilled to perfection. Placed on a bun, and topped with a Flint Style coney sauce. Now a Flint Style coney sauce is different than anything I have ever had anyplace. First it not chili, but has the consistency of a loose meat sandwich. It has some of the similar spices you will find in a chili based sauce, but the taste is different...hard to explain. Then top off your with yellow mustard, onions, and you are in business.
My taste tend to lean toward the Flint Style coney, but I do enjoy a Detroit Style coney when I am in "The D"...especially for Opening Day for the Tigers. One advantage the Detroit Style has over a Flint Style is you are get one outside the State of Michigan. If you ever go to Vegas you can have yourself a Detroit Style coney at the casino name "The D". Not only can you enjoy a coney, but you can get some Better Made Chip, and a Faygo pop to complete your Detroit Experience.
What makes these two styles of coney dogs the best is the itself. Its either Koegles or nothing. Its a natural cased hot which is going to give you that great snap when you bite into it, and its perfectly spiced. I know people that will have Koegles shipped to them, because they have moved out of state.

Going to the Brothel

When I started driving people would always ask, so have you picked up a yet, and my response was always the same no. The idea of an STD scares the hell out of me, so I would never partake in getting a "lot lizard". One day my co-driver and I were picking up a pharmaceutical shipment that was going to Reno NV, and I was asked if I would want to hit up the brothel that was outside of town. Well I used to watch the show Cathouse on HBO, and I know that the girls are tested on a regular basis, so I knew that an STD would be a freak occurrence, but damn I thought the cost was going to be too high. My co-driver said that if the price is too much we would just leave, so whats the harm in checking it out. I agreed.
Once in Reno we delivered the shipment, and then hit the local truck stop. We ate, showered, dropped our trailer in the parking lot, and headed to the Wild Mustang Ranch. We pull up to a gate, and were greeted by a guy that asked us some questions, and then gave us instructions to leave our cell phones in the vehicle. The place was bigger than I expected it to be, and it actually had two different buildings. We headed for the door not knowing what to think, but once inside it looked like your typical bar.
We bellied up to the bar, and order some drinks. Out of the corner of my eye a thin girl with medium length dark hair came and sat next to us. "Where are you guys from?", and to which we replied Michigan. "What part?", and we answered just outside of Flint. "What part?", and I repeated Flint. To that she said "no what part of Flint?", and being the smart ass that I am I said the good part, because there is no way this girl is from Flint. All of a sudden she said something that blew my mind. She mentioned Halo Burger, and Big Johns, and it dawns on me...holy shit this girl is from Flint.
We continue talking and I think we all did a shot together, and then the madame comes over, and talks to us. She lets us know that they are going to have a line up of girls in the parlor in about 5 minutes. I was happy just talking to this girl, and having drinks, but she was kind of hot, so what the heck it cant hurt to check it out.
About 10 of us were in the parlor, and about 15 girls. The first guy was called on, and he picked out this one woman I was eyeing. My number one draft choice was off the board. The madame calls on me next. I must have looked like a deer caught in headlights, because it was overwhelming to have to choose. I went with the girl from Flint, because she was really sweet when we were talking at the bar. She took me on a tour of the place as the other girls did the same with the other guys. I think its to loosen the tension before the sales pitch.
I was led into the negotiation room where its the only place money can be brought up. We talked about likes, and dislikes. I am just waiting to hear what the dollar amount this is going to cost me, but to my surprise she asked me what I was looking to spend. I said I had about $300.00 to spend thinking that was going to end things quickly, but she said that if I could come up to $400.00 that we could have a real good time. I agreed, and then she had me drop my pants. She puts on a rubber glove and gives me the once over. Once she is done with her exam, she leads me to the pay window, and I put down $400.00, and they hand her clean sheets and towels, and she takes me to her room.
Once in her room she asked if i would like to take a shower with her, and my response I believe was "hell yes!". We took turns washing each other which was extremely hot, and then we toweled off, and she lead me to the bed. She had me lay down, and with her mouth she put a condom on me. This was one of the best blowjobs I ever had. I asked if I could eat her pussy, and she brought it right over to me. This went on for a while, and then we got down to fucking. We hit a few positions before I popped. We laid the for a few minutes before going back to the shower to clean up. We both got dressed, and she lead me back out to the bar area.
I am thinking ok now I just go back to hanging out with my co-driver, and he and I would continue to have drinks. Again I was shocked when the girl I was with stayed with us having drinks. I swear we must have drank for a couple of hours before she left. Once she left it wasnt long before we called it a night, and went to sleep off all of the drinks in the truck.
That night was so much damn fun. The next morning I was thinking to myself, and it made me laugh out loud. I thought that I drove all the way to Reno, NV only to have sex with a girl from Flint. Life is ironic sometimes. Would I go back and do it again? In a heartbeat.

Rocking a Mullet

Being a truck driver sometimes we have to entertain ourselves. Well one day I was listening to comedian Ralphie May, and he did a bit about people wearing the mullet haircut, and how he would always be on the lookout for mullets. Well I laughed so damn hard at that bit that I too started to be on the look out for mullets.
You would be surprised at how many people still rock the mullet. Well one day my cousin and I were in a town called Leavenworth, WA at a brewery called Icicle Brewery, and that is where I think I stumbled across the best mullet in my lifetime. This guy I swear could have passed for Joe Dirt. It was business up front...with the party in the back, and for good measure there were lines cut into the side.
I approached with caution. I asked the guy if he minded if i could take a picture, because he had the best mullet I had ever seen. Without even saying a word...this guy flexed for my camera. It was pure mullet gold. After I bought the guy a beer, and it turned out that he was a pretty cool dude. Good times were had by all that night.

A truck Driver with his finger prints in history

When most people think of a truck driver they do not think that this person will have left a mark on history. Well in my case I can honestly say that you are wrong. I have hauled things that will impact others long after I am gone. How can this be?
Most people when they hear the name Hubble they instantly think of the space telescope. Well did you know they have built its replacement? How is this relevant to this topic? Well I hauled the reflective mirrors for the next gen Hubble. I will have had a hand in Space Exploration even if it is a small contribution that will impact the world.
What else. I have hauled all kinds of art. Some famous artists like Frieda and Diego, who's works can inspire the next generation of artists. Once I hauled a 100 yr old Blue Whale skeleton. Who knows this skeleton could inspire someone to become a conservationist who might save the planet from climate change.

Coolest experience in the truck

This is a shot story of the coolest experience I ever had while truck driving. My co-driver, and I accepted a run that was picking up at a private airport just outside of the City of Philadelphia. We pull up to the address, and are looking around for anything that resembles dock doors, but the only thing we see at two flatbed trucks out on the tarmac. We hit the 4-way flashers on the truck, and go inside to see if we have the right place, and if so where do we go. After about 10 minutes of waiting we are instructed to go out on the tarmac, and wait by the other trucks.
At this point we do not know what we are picking up, let alone know why we are on the tarmac. As I sit in the passenger seat of the truck looking at my phone I notice a Hercules C17 cargo plane coming in for an approach. How do I know its a C17? Because I am an aviation nerd. The plane lands and positions itself near the flatbed trucks. The cargo bay comes down, and a crew starts removing a satellite, and proceeds to load it on the flatbed. After the satellite is loaded on the two trucks they start to load the equipment used to move the satellite into our trailer.
Once the equipment was loaded the crew boarded the C17. The cargo door closed. The plane proceeds to taxi down the runway, and in a flash it was gone, but not before I was able to get some cool pictures that I lost when my FB account was hacked. Still it might have been the coolest thing I have been apart of.

Tales from the road

If you have read my profile, then you know that I am a Truck Driver. During my travels I have been to all of the lower 48 states, and a majority of Canada. As you might have guessed seeing that many places you are going to have a few tales to tell. I plan on sharing some of the funny stories that I have had happen to me over the coming weeks. Starting with my first story I will share today.
Most of my driving career I have driven with a co-driver. My second week driving a Truck my co-driver, and I were heading to Buffalo, NY. I drove most of the night from Columbus, OH to Michigan, and through Canada until I crossed back into the States in Buffalo.
As you might have guessed that is a pretty long drive, and I was looking for a truck stop, so my co-driver could switch. I was tired. It was about 5 am when I noticed a guy in the passing lane keeping pace with me. I was thinking to myself..."why the hell is this guy not passing me?". A few seconds later he passes me, cuts into my lane, and then slows down. At this point I really didn't know what was going on, and I started to freak out. Out of nowhere this dude pulls out a huge black dildo, and starts shaking it out of control! Right about this time my co-driver wakes up to see this display, and proceeds to laugh at me. 10 miles down the road we reached the truck stop, and my co-driver and I switched spots. I tried my best to sleep, but I was still freaked out about being propositioned earlier. Eventually I was able to sleep, but from that moment on I knee this Truck Driving life was going to be crazy.

Being a truck driver we see all kinds of things on the road. I found out that one of my guilty pleasures was taking pictures of funny signs, and billboards. These are a small sample of what I have seen. Feel free to add some of your own signs in the comment section below.

Flint, Michigan

When you think of Flint, Michigan what do you think of? All of the negative headlines such as, tainted water, high murder, and crime rates, lack of jobs, and a poor public education system. All these things are true, but it does not define the city, or the people that call Flint home.
To have a better idea of the city, and its people, maybe we should start with some of its history. Flint started out as a village by fur trader Jacob Smith in 1819. Flint's biggest business at that time was in lumber due to the heavily forested area. In 1855 the City of Flint was established.
At the turn of the century, the automobile came about, and shortly after Flint became a mainstay of this new industry. When people think of General Motors, they tend to think of Detroit, but General Motors was started in Flint by William C. Durant. The UAW also has strong roots in Flint. In 1936-37 UAW members banded together in what is known today as the "Sit Down Strike"
Flint is know for its poor public education K-12, but it is also know for its higher learning. The City of Flint has a satellite campus for the University of Michigan which is one of the top ranking public universities in the country. Flint also hosts Kettering University which used to be named GMI or General Motors Institute, that churns out gifted engineering students, Flint also has Mott Community College, Michigans School for the Deaf, and various schools of nursing.
In need of a hospital? Flint has you covered. The City has two major hospitals in McLaren, which tends to specialize in cardio vascular, and Hurley Hospital, which is a teaching hospital. Hurley also has the distinction of being a Level 1 Trauma Center, and has one of the top Bariatric Programs in the nation.
Are there any famous people from Flint? Yes. Flint has many famous athletes such as Andre Rison (Atlanta Falcons), Glenn Rice (Miami Heat), Carl Banks (NY Giants), and my favorite Jim Abbott (NY Yankees). Jim is my favorite, because the man made it to MLB with basically one arm. Add is factors like my uncle had the same birth defect, and I grew up with Jim's cousin, and its easy to see why Jim is my favorite. Musicians Flint has them. Ever heard of Grand Funk Railroad? Yes they are from Flint. Ready for the World with the hit song (Oh Sheila). Flint has even had a rapper by the name of Mc Breed put his stamp on the Record Industry...may he RIP. Actors from Flint, but of course. Terry Crews from movies like Last Friday, and the Expendables. Tony Burton who was the trainer of Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies. Game show host Bob Eubanks is another Flint Native. Michael Moore claims to be from Flint, but he is not, so fuck him!
Flint might be a violent place, with dangerous water, and people. Sure its a bit dirty, and run down. The people of Flint are of strong minds, and bodies. If you knock us down...we will get back up We have been carved from "Rock", and if you are from Flint you will understand what that means. Flint, and Flintstones will always fight no matter the odds. I hope after reading this you might think of my City as more than a headline.

Are you an asshole driver?

Are you an asshole driver? You might be one, and not even know it. Do you even know what might make you an asshole when you drive? In this post I will try to identify somethings that you can look for to see if you may or may not be an asshole driver, so let us begin.
Things that an asshole driver would do:
1. Driving under the influence.
2. . Text and drive, or looking at your phone.
3. . Constantly weaving in and out of traffic to pass people
4. Driving slow in the passing lane.
5. Tailgating.
Those are the most obvious things an asshole driver would do, but lets go deeper for the less obvious things.
6. Not knowing how to merge onto the highway.
7. Passing a person then exiting the highway once past.
8. Gawkers passing an accident scene.
9. You take up more than one parking spot.
10. People that are unaware of the other vehicles around them.
Most of these items on the list really do not need to be discussed, because they are pretty self evident, so lets discuss some of the others.
Tailgating: Lets face the facts, You are not a NASCAR driver, and being on someones bumper is dangerous. You have the potential to kill you, and others. Just dont do it.
Merging: It is your job to enter into the flow of traffic. You either need to speed up, or slow down to accomplish this. Whatever you do...for the love of god...do not keep the same pace as the car next to you.
Gawkers: While you are looking at the accident on the road you are taking your focus off of the road, and putting yourself, and others in danger for another accident. Eyes forward
Just some things to think about the next time you get behind the wheel. We are all assholes when we drive, but we can strive to be better. McLuvin out!

St Patricks Day Guide for a good time

It is almost time for the Celebration that is St Patricks Day. The day that everybody becomes Irish, I am writing this as a guide to having a great day on St Patricks Day. This guide will help you prepare, keep you safe, and maybe even score you some free drinks.
First things first...be prepared. Before you venture out on the day do some recon. Try to find a true Irish Pub, and or bar. A good sign of a Irish Pub, or bar is that they have Guinness on tap. Second make sure they have plenty of Ishka baha (the water of life) aka Irish Whiskey. Jamesons or Bushmills are your two top choices here. I personally like Bushmills. Third look to see if are going to offer a live band playing good ole Irish drinking songs, and if they do learn these songs.
Irish Drinking Songs
1.Beer Beer Beer
2.Finnegan's Wake
3.Wild Rover
4.Moonshiner
5.Whiskey in the Jar
Fourth wear something green. I opt for a green t-shirt, and my green afro. Sure I might look like a clown, but I have never had so many women approach me offering to buy me drinks as I have when I rock the green fro. Finally bring gifts. Green beads are an excellent choice here, and if you want to jazz them up try hot gluing two bottle caps around a bead making them stand out from any beads anybody else has. Its simple, takes very little time or money, and is effective in engaging in conversation with the ladies.
The Day of you should enjoy yourself. Any typical day for me I am somewhat subdued, but once the green afro comes out I become quite the opposite. I let my inner rock star shine through, and people tend to gravitate to me. Second know your limits. The day is a marathon, and not a sprint. Nobody wants to deal with "The Drunk Guy". I always will have a drink in my hand, but will pace myself to maybe a drink an hr. Third, you should always have your trip home planned out. Chances are you are going to be drunk before the night is over, so have a plan to get home safe.
Once you have done your prep work, and the day has arrived before you head out make sure you are dressed properly. Find something green
