Passenger Side

Selling aluminum siding aint for everybody. Some days I think maybe it's not for me either, but I know if I just hang in there one more day it'll all work itself out..and it always does. So anyways, I've compiled a few shots to help the unititiated see what I see all day. It aint all free tomatoes and trucker bombs you know....


Some days it's all like this. Nice smooth roads and a well-thought out plan.

Other days it's just like the days before, but somehow a little different.

I have these days alot more than I like. This is when you're just not sure what the hell you're doing or where you are, but you know it'll get better.

Then there's this soul-crushing (and thankfully rare) day when nothing is paved and it's all uphill. On days like this it feels like your only option is to throw in the towel and learn a trade. When I get slammed with a day like this, there's only one thing that gets me home not only in one piece, but smiling....


Rat Attack!

Hey, at least there's no traffic. :D

And, speaking of, they played Passenger Side on How I Met Your Mother last night (or, well, that's when *I* watched it, anyway) during the scene where Ted rides the tricycle." I was all, sweet.

No shit! That's one of my favorite Wilcos... but I've never seen that show. I'm uh, cable-ey challenged:D

Great post, Jackie. I think I grew up on Road number 4.

Jackie Lantern said...

Ha! Me too, sorta.

I have to confess this whole post was just an excuse to show off "Rat Attack!" :D

Wow, Jackie, those are some awesome photos! And although I'm pretty biased about it, I still think the rat attack is cool beyond words, too.

Jackie Lantern said...

Thanks Mr. C!

Just so you know, the toy rat itself sucked. But that damned box was so cool I've kept it around just so I can see it and whisper "Rat Attack!" in a real, uh, scary voice...

I've said too much :(

Pictures three and four look just like the roads I drive everyday- in a much smaller vehicle than an aluminum siding truck. Except we got a new guard rail last year- and everyone was asking each other if we should name it after Robert C. Byrd.

LMFAO Elvis!

If I'm up that way selling aluminum siding I'll be sure to hit you up :D

Cool! I'm always in the market for some aluminum siding.

Just watch out for the Robert C. Byrd Guardrail.
