"Hey you know those plastic carriers you get pop or beer cans in? I always make sure to cut them up before I throw them away. We don't want hunters to go out and find a six-pack of ducks waddling around."

And don't even get me started about @SUBWAY... They do make awesome sub sandwiches but WHY does my "$5 footlong" always seem to end up at like $12.99? 🙃

[Jonathan Olthoff @JonathanOlthoff]

Thinkin' about fast food again. Must be hungry.

Whatever happened to @Hardees $5 All-Star meal boxes? Those were good too... Used to usually go for the spicy chicken sandwich and cheeseburger one. Even got a cookie too.

[Jonathan Olthoff @JonathanOlthoff]

Just sayin', @tacobell is one of last remaining fast food places that usually actually offers a decent $5 meal box...

A razor cold can of @CanadaDry after a long day just hits different than @SchweppesUS... Discuss.

Ever just wake up at some random point in the night with an unexplainable thirst for a tall frosty cold glass of M I L K or is that just me

How come ramen noodles cook perfectly in a microwave, but pasta or macaroni usually comes out with the color and consistency of drywall paste...

Maybe it's just what I get for being too lazy to boil water on the stove like a normal person.

Hey @McDonalds, what's the deal with attempting to get a smoothie in Sioux Falls? Two out of the three locations we had to go to tonight told us "the smoothie machines are broken"... 🤔

Always interesting when the group conversation mixes up @timhawkinscomic, Stephen Hawking, and @tonyhawk, then can't remember who's who and who did what...

Yesterday, I ran over a squirrel with the semi out on a haul job.

Tonight, I rammed over a deer with the '83 Chevy. (Pickup is perfectly fine, the deer, not so much...)

I don't like where this trend is going... What's next, a moose? 😂

Does Sprayway glass cleaner smell really nice to anyone else, or is it just me? So clean, so foamy, so satisfying... Stuff works good. No nasty ammonia smell either.

Give a man a 15" automotive or implement tire to mount, and he'll probably have it done in a few minutes...

But give a man a little 6" lawnmower tire to mount and it'll take the better half of a day, lots of tire soap, pry bars, vice grips, and wayyyyy too many cuss words...

[Jonathan Olthoff @JonathanOlthoff]

Maybe the dude that invented those little perforated flaps on the top of macaroni and cheese boxes (that always smush or tear) outta be locked in a room for a week and given only macaroni and cheese in those boxes... "Easy open", yeah right, more like cardboard prison...

[Jonathan Olthoff @JonathanOlthoff]

At Buffalo Wild Wings with the gang tonight. Everrrrry TV in the place has a football game on (as expected), except for one in the corner with a high-society looking dog show on... Must be where the more sophisticated crowd hangs out? Hey look, there's a german shepherd...

"Dude, you should buy this JD 300 for $2100, it's got hydraulics on it!"

"I don't care if it has hydraulics on it... I wouldn't care if it had the pope himself on it... I am NOT paying 2100 bucks for ANOTHER garden tractor..."

Twitter's new-ish user interface (or at least new since the last time I've used it) just kind of makes my head hurt... Both on PC and Android. Just too used to Facebook I guess?

[Jonathan Olthoff @JonathanOlthoff]

@renkeandrew @Ham_9900 @CraigLasley4 @ulloajacademics Oh, just livin' the dream... 😂 Working in Menno part time as an Ag mechanic with some implement truck driving mixed in, doing small engine repair, helping out with farming when I can. You still at Avera in SF?

[Jonathan Olthoff @JonathanOlthoff]

Oh look, it's been two years since I've been on Twitter. Anyone still here? @Ham_9900 @CraigLasley4 @ulloajacademics @renkeandrew

[Jonathan Olthoff @JonathanOlthoff]

@renkeandrew @Ham_9900 @CraigLasley4 @ulloajacademics Hey, long time no see! How've you guys been doing over in SF lately?
