Hope TK will stay healthy and keep you company on the roads around the USA for many years to come. Happy Birthday, TK! Let her have one day to be mischievious, Steve.

BigRigSteve said...

One day??? LOL. She is EVERYDAY!

pboutwell said...

Happy B-day for TK!

Just Vicky said...

That is way too funny BRS! Hamster kabobs and a duck cake!

Glad she had a party! Did she get to "cut her cake?"

Anonymous said...

Happy Birthday TK! =:) Sounds like Gramma and Steve gave you quite a party.
Have a great evening.

BigRigSteve said...

well, she split the cake by stepping all over it then licking her paws. LOL

Just Vicky said...

And just how is TK's owner doing?

BigRigSteve said...

Excellent! Thanks for asking. Went out and visited the King William District today. Will go visit three painted churches tomorrow:)

pboutwell said...

Just like the kitties, they don't care. Glad your dentist thing didn't go as bad as expected.

Just Vicky said...

Get all those church pictures Steve! I'm waiting for my coffee table edition of Churches! Really glad you're feeling so good too! Kick back and enjoy the free time! Of course your road crew will be ready to hit the road!

Are you going to sleep in the truck again tonight?

BigRigSteve said...

yup. always do :)

Sorry I forgot to write, TK, Happy B'day. TK has the same b'day as my mother. She's 90 today.

Just Vicky said...

I have a feeling TK's Grandma spoils BRS just as much as TK! What ya'll think?

BigRigSteve said...

um, NO

ualady said...

Happy Birthday TK! That's from your furry friends in Bama - Charlie, Mick and Izzy - oh - and the Big Cat!

Glad to hear TK's party was a success!! Was looking at some of your church pictures taken at High Hill, TX in your weekly favorites. Great pictures, beautiful church. Hey, BRS, did you ever tell us what TK does when you try to get rid of her kitty fur by throwing it out of the window??????

Just Vicky said...

Surely he doesn't throw away TK baby hairs!!!!!!

ualady said...

Evening Vicky! How's the patient?

BRS better not thrown anything of TK's away!

Just Vicky said...

Somehow Steve, I don't quite believe you don't get pampered with Mom! I know how much I love my son and he still gets pampered at Mom's! He loves to have finger nails lightly stroke his back till he falls asleep! Yep, we spoil our sons!

BigRigSteve said...

EEwww. LOL. nope, none of that here!!!

Sent ya an email Ualady.

ualady said...

Pfffttttt!

The Duke Of Earl. said...

Hey BRS, I saw you at the truck this morning and nobody else did. You must have been getting things to wash. Tomorrow will be a deep clean of the cab. You should get enough fur to make a nice winter hat! hehe.

And also with you,
Earl.

Just Vicky said...

Ualady, the patient is still not mobile enough to get herself in and out of the bed. We've got problems because mom leaves tomorrow evening for sure! Hoping her friend will step up to the plate and help her out!

Steve, I'll as the Texas Lady about how spoiled you really are!! LOL

BigRigSteve said...

she will tell ya the truth too! :)

We come from a family of NOT spoiling each other. LOL. If ya got the ability, DO IT. LOL

Just Vicky said...

Easy there Duke of Earl!! You'll have him skinning TK for the fur!

ualady said...

I think TK is the one that is spoiled...and she deserves every bit of it.

pboutwell said...

That's right Steve! And now I will get away from the blog because, I'm afraid of the fallout.

BigRigSteve said...

Honest opinion to the women .....

How important is having a womans size for the Road Crew Tshirt?

I will only offer black short sleeve, 50/50 blend, M/L/XL/XXL/XXXL

BigRigSteve said...

fallout? lol

ualady said...

There's a difference between men and women's t-shirts? Boy that's news to me.

Just Vicky said...

Think fallout is in reference to the "fur" Steve!

OK, the sizes work for me so don't ask sizes for women!

ualady said...

Vicky - you have email...

BigRigSteve said...

LOL. I did think there was, but wanted to make sure.

BTW, Got the prelim design back tody. VERY SLICK! VERY NICE!

I made 2 slight changes, and we finalize tomorrow, so hopefully preordering begins. What do you think is a fair amoint of time to have the preorder? 5 days? 7 days? 10 days?

ualady said...

Just go with the unisizes.

ualady said...

how long will it take them to do the shirts?

ualady said...

oh and good evening to u 2 BRS

Just Vicky said...

preorder days????

BigRigSteve said...

at the end of preorder, and I turn in and pay the deposit, then it takes 10 days to print and get them to Texas. Then a few days to get fro Texas to whoever ordered it. These are special edition, and printed just for us.

pboutwell said...

No fallout yet, wow. Of course we would all like them today, but I think the 10 days will make everything equal out in a sense.

BigRigSteve said...

preorder meaning a set number of days that people can order and pay for the shirts they want. Then I can turn in the order for the right number abd sizes of shirts all at once, so I do not order too few or too many and end up eating alot of costs.

ualady said...

i vote with pboutwell

Just Vicky said...

Thanks Steve, sometimes the blondness comes out!

BigRigSteve said...

It wiuld be alot easier if I had a Online Storefront, etc...LOL. But that would costs me alot each month just to sell a few ZT shirts. :( So, thought preordering would be best bet and easiest for me in the longrun.

BigRigSteve said...

DANG, think I need to put my reading glasses back on and turn on the light!!!

ualady said...

Do I have to jump up and down.... waving...hey TK and BRS!

pboutwell said...

Well, Steve has the better since of business. Of course all of us are gonna buy these shirts, we just don't wanna get some that don't. ualady, thanks for the vote of confidence!

Just Vicky said...

LOL Steve!!! Know that feeling well! I'd say your best bet is to preorder. Thank you for all the work you're putting into this too!

BigRigSteve said...

Why fer ya jumping around like ya got ants in yer pants Ualady?

HI
Hello
Hola.

ualady said...

You're welcome pboutwell.

ualady said...

That's better BRS

And no ... I don't have ants in my pants. LOL Wonder what kind of google ad that will generate.

BigRigSteve said...

Here is a good question...I already have a fair price in mind.....what do YOU think is a fair, reasonable price for a special edition tshirt that can only be obtained from ONE place in the entire world??? LOL

Got the shippings costs figured at Priority Mail - In the US $4.95/Worldwide $12.95 acvtual cost.

Anonymous said...

How threet it is LOL...Happy birthday to kitty Lalala ! Grandma's love to spoil :)

Just Vicky said...

WOW!!! That's a good question Steve! Pondering here---------------- $25.00 ?? I don't have a clue! When it comes to TK I know the sky would be the limit!

ualady said...

4.95

LOL

BigRigSteve said...

the thing is, TK is spoiled everyday. She gets away with everything, hollars until she gets her way, etc!

pboutwell said...

If I were you I'd charge 19.99 firm. I know the difference in production, and everything, but you have to have some coffe, and TK needs some food!

Just Vicky said...

AhHemmmmmmmmmmm ualady!

ualady said...

And just who spoiled her? She didn't spoil herself!

ualady said...

What Vicky? You're humming.

Just Vicky said...

We're so glad TK owns you Steve!

Just Vicky said...

$4.95 ualady? Is that all this special T shirt should sell for??

BigRigSteve said...

i know ya don't mean ME...

BTW, when TK sits and lays on my lap, I take the scissors and cut the fur knots out....(she has very few really). But, if she SEES the scissors, or she sees me with a fingerful of fur, she gets up, yells atthe top of her lungs, and runs to the window. She will watch it try toget it, then turn back and continue yelling at me. LOL. She does NOT like me stealing her fur for any reason! LOL. Very funny to do that to her. LOl

Just Vicky said...

Excuse me Steve, not nice to undress TK like that ever!

ualady said...

Well shoot...thought I would see what I could get away with Vicky. BRS doesn't have his glasses on - TK hid them!

Anonymous said...

price for a shirt , pretty good :)

ualady said...

What female wants her hair/fur trimmed by a man that won't put his glasses on?

Just Vicky said...

Well I have my glasses on ualady so I'll proof read for BRS!

ualady said...

LOL

Just Vicky said...

I don't want my hair trimmed by any man with or without glasses ualady!

Just Vicky said...

BRS, I can't stop chuckling when I look at those "hamster kabobs!"

ualady said...

you have me in stitches here vicky!

ualady said...

wonder if texas lady made that video she wanted to of TK playing on the porch?

Just Vicky said...

Sure hope she did!!!

connie said...

Steve i want to order a t shirt but i dont want to use the computer for my personal account. where can i mail a check to?

Just Vicky said...

Question Steve: Will there be a chance of kids sizes on a shirt someday??

Just Vicky said...

Guess I need to check the store for my answer, DUH JV!

BigRigSteve said...

When the time comes, I will give the address for those that want to mail a check....

BigRigSteve said...

jv- for this first order.....no. but very possible in the future if this goes well...

connie said...

ualady said...

Connie - you're aging like a fine wine!

connie said...

Just Vicky said...

And prettier Connie!

ualady said...

oh no...BRS fell off his bunk laughing!

connie said...

oh yes just vicky that tooo

ualady said...

Or maybe bite off some of BRS's hair since he steals her fur!

Just Vicky said...

Won't that have to come off of his face ualady??? (oh boy I'm in trouble now!)

ualady said...

oh boy ... you're cruisin for a bruisin there vicky

BigRigSteve said...

lol. hope ya guys buy 2 shirts just to stay outta trouble! lol

Just Vicky said...

<~~~~~~~~DUCKIN!!

ualady said...

Inquiring minds want to know... just what did BRS give TK for her birthday?

Just Vicky said...

Hey Steve, no problem I planned on more than one!

Just Vicky said...

Didn't he give her a new cat toy and a duck cake and hamster kabobs?

ualady said...

I knew you were lurking BRS!

ualady said...

No that was TK's grandma's gift

Just Vicky said...

LOL, just funnin with you Steve!! Hey, considering this is a very special first time limited edition shirt, folks better buy more than one!

ualady said...

vicky - isn't it BRS that said that we were troublemakers?

Just Vicky said...

How's that for back peddling???

ualady said...

oh it's going to be limited?

ualady said...

vicky - i see those cross fingers behind your back!

Just Vicky said...

Yes ualady, it was BRS calling us troublemakers! You're #2 I'm #3!

ualady said...

so he's getting what he asked for! lol

Just Vicky said...

You wouldn't want to let him down would you ualady?? We have to live up to our names!

ualady said...

was just thinking ... BRS needs to be careful what he asks for ... God does have a sense of humor!

Just Vicky said...

Oh indeed HE does!!!!!

ualady said...

He? Hmmmm back to the drawing board ... I thought it was She

Just Vicky said...

Ualady, are you by chance a blond?

ualady said...

No ma'am ... brunette as they come ... at least with the help of clairol

Anonymous said...

Ok, I'm here now and all this nonsense can just stop now. ;)

Happy 3rd Birthday, TK!! Sounds like you had a fun birthday with Grandma!

Steve, didn't you give her anything?!

BigRigSteve said...

I gave her a truck bed to sleep on, and I didn't cut any fur from her today!

Anonymous said...

LOL! Well, she is one LUCKY kitty!

Anonymous said...

Steve, did you find any flowers to photograph today?

ualady said...

Vicky ... just remembered I told you that I would get the name of the woman that did the Ester Bible study .. it was Beth Moore out of Texas.

BigRigSteve said...

a few. not wildflowers, but flowers in a historical home district.
editing them now.
I go back out tomorrow, but weather says severe storms on their way for tomorrow:(:(

Anonymous said...

Well, that's great that you found some flowers today! Oooh, storms. Not good. Do you stay in the truck when the weather is really bad, like in high winds or tornados? Just wondering; we had some storms/high winds here today. We're about floating away with all the rain we had.

BigRigSteve said...

well, have not run into tornados yet....but ZI have to stay in the truck usually driving still if I am heavy enough.

Just Vicky said...

Well its time for this crew member to call it a night! I shall dream of more happy trails or is that "happy tail"?

ualady said...

Need to be careful with tornadoes BRS ...even if you are loaded heavy those things have a tendency to toss anything in their path.

ualady said...

Night Vicky! I'll see about going blonde tomorrow.

BigRigSteve said...

i know. i meant high winds. BUT, I have stopped and taken cover when winds reached over 65 mph in wyoming last year....the truck was being blown off the road, and one side of the truck tires DID leave come up off the road!

Anonymous said...

I hope the weather is not bad tomorrow! I'm turning in, too. Goodnight to the crew.

ualady said...

night sahmom!

ualady said...

that had to be scary ... at least it would have been for me...did you take TK with you?

jilli said...

Hi folks...that's so typical when you have a time difference...i just get home from work and you lot are all saying goodnight to each other! :-( Had a few chuckles when i read thru all your comments today tho. Happy B'day from New Zealand little TK!

BigRigSteve said...

i just pulled into a truckstop, and sandwiched myself between other trucks. lol

ualady said...

Good Tomorrow Afternoon Jilli!

ualady said...

You are about 20 hours in front of us here in the states??

ualady said...

That was smart thinking BRS!

jilli said...

hi there ualady :-) Yes i think about 19 or 20 hours ahead; I read a comment in a magazine from the USA a while back...in your part of the planet you dont need to worry about the world ending tomorrow, cos you know it's already tomorrow in new Zealand! lol.

ualady said...

LOL that's funny. I had a dear friend that lived in Auckland. Do you live near by?

ualady said...

I always enjoy celebrating New Year's with y'all. It's easier to get up early than to stay up late.

BigRigSteve said...

howdy jilli:)

ok, gotta get my tail to bed. tk is already in bed waiting for me:)

Night UaLady, and everybody else:)

jilli said...

yes Auckland is my hometown! I now live about 30 min north of Auckland, on the coast.

jilli said...

good night Steve and everybody; sweet dreams. I have to go to a meeting shortly so catch you all later. :-)

ualady said...

Would love to hear about it. My dear friend died last year while visiting in Canada. I've missed hearing about New Zealand.

But right now I've got to head to bed. It's close to midnight and I have a full day tomorrow.

Have a great evening Jilli!

ualady said...

Night BRS!

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y T K!!!!

jilli said...

I'll touch base with you sometime soon ualady. Sleep well :-)

Anonymous said...

Just to answer your question, BRS, I think giving us 7 days to preorder should be enough time for us to get our orders in. We all know just about what we will order already.

Anonymous said...

Good Morning Steve and crew. Last I guess to wish Happy Birthday to TK. You are a very lucky girl. Enjoy your Wednesday and will look in when you guys are up and about.

mohogan said...

And a VERY good morning to you
