For Whom The Bell Tolls
Location: Gold Hill, Oregon
What’s up, y’all!
It’s good to be reminded that life is short, and that we should make the most of it, but it’s always hard when that reminder comes this way. Many of you knew Miley because she held a brief reign as the President of Jefferson State Cruisers. Beloved by her constituents, she led the truck club with fierce yaps and an “I do what I want” attitude. She’s now gone on to lead the great truck club in the sky, and will be missed by us all.
Take this opportunity to tell someone (or some dog) that you love them. Time marches on whether we want it to or not. And when one of us dies, we all die a little bit, as John Donne so famously put it in his poem:
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
In other news, we’re finally back in the garage, so new video coming soon! Here’s a sneak peak - see if you can figure out what gnob’s rebuilding.

Ep. 16 Snale Racing Gets a PRP Seat Upgrade
Hooking up the interior may not seem as important as all of the mechanical upgrades the Snale has gotten, but when you’re spending hours sitting inside the truck, it matters. These PRP seats have been a game changer for us. No more lower back pain - we are getting old, after all!😜 LOL, okay, we’re not that old, but still. These seats rock.
What We’ve Been Into
This week, I made gnob watch one of my favorite old movies, The African Queen. Yeah, yeah, Humphrey Bogart is amazing as always,
but Katharine Hepburn is my favorite. Give me Katharine over Audrey any day of the week.
The African Queen was shot in Uganda in 1951. It’s the story of a missionary with revenge on her mind, and a boat captain with nothing on his mind but gin. When war brings them together, they hatch an impossible plot to take out the invading Germans, all by themselves. Yep, it’s awesome.
Quote of the Week
That wraps up another week with Snale Racing! We’ll leave you with the quote that was most powerful for us this week. They’ll never stop, they’ll never quit, cuz they’re Metallica. Peace!✌
