Does anyone know what the average mean temperature in Kodiak, Alaska was yesterday ? Thanks. von.
No sir. I don't even know if there is a barn there. My truly secret plan for this post was to get posters talking about something other than who said what or who started the verbal fight or anything but the current topics of conversation. I thought the weather would throw everyone off the track. I suspect I have failed in my endeavor. Oh well, today is a new day. Hope prevails.Brother Von, are you thinking of transferring to the ABF facility in Kodiak? Bored of the climate in Indiana?
It is.That looks like great Halibut fishing weather to me...
Maybe this post on a different subject is working after all. Be safe out there. von.I know for a fact they use Carlile Transport up in Fairbanks to forward freight to the oilfields in Prudhoe Bay. I've seen ABF trailers in the Carlile yard on "Ice Road Truckers" tv show.

On another note, due to the very small # of roads in Alaska, I wonder if ABF uses snow machines or dog sled to deliver freight? Just curious. Von.

One of our retirees did the "inside passage" cruise a few years ago. Spectacular. I want to see icebergs "calving".
Wha, wha, whaaaaaaaa?? This was all just a ploy??? And I was all primed up to go Halibut fishing in Kodiak!!!Maybe this post on a different subject is working after all. Be safe out there. von.
I have been there and would love to go back. Glaciers calving is a regular occurrence and I highly recommend the 8 hour cruise out of Seward. I also recommend an inland tour. If you ever swing by I'll show you my photo album of it.Alaska is the only state left on my list. I've visited every other.

Falling down a mine shaft? Priceless. I got to remember that one. von.Neither rain, nor snow, nor dead of night,.......or malfunctioning PDA's,.......7% pay cuts,........or trucks that can't exceed 62.5 mph, unless they were falling down a mineshaft,......will stay us from our appointed rounds.
I wonder if we can come up with 3 new letters to write on the time cards why we were absent. How about GHF for Gone Halibut Fishing. With a little luck someone @ the fort will have a sense of humor. Come on posters, we need some new letters for defining our absences.Wha, wha, whaaaaaaaa?? This was all just a ploy??? And I was all primed up to go Halibut fishing in Kodiak!!!
I have also had the great fortune to have driven trucks on original US 66.

As in "time stamp"?That dates you.
