The big boys of the truckin podcast world are at it again. In this episode we just do some clowning around and talking about our first trucks. We mention briefly the conflict going on in Ukraine. We go over a couple recipes, and a couple of shout outs.
In this episode we continue to have some audio issues. We thing Dave's headphones were too loud this time and that's what was causing the little echo effect. We appreciate everyones patience as we learn what we're doing. Here's some of the excerpts from the shownotes:

Overdrive Magazine (1972-1973): Voice of the American Trucker - Flashbak
In the 1950s, American kids idolized cowboys – in the 1970s it was truckers. There was an endless supply of movies painting truckers as anti-establishment heroes of the highway (Convoy, Breaker Breaker, Smokey & the Bandit, etc.), and God-knows their tool of the trade, the CB radio, was the coolest thing ever. (See Your Official Guide To 1970s CB Slang). Truckers were seen as rebels, interstate outlaws, cowboys of the open road who didn’t answer to “the man”…. but the public’s fascination waned by the early 1980s.
So, let’s have a look at the start of the Golden Age of the trucker in the covers and pages of the 1972-1973 issues Overdrive Magazine: The Voice of the American Trucker. Enjoy. I've made a page on the 3ftpodcast.org website, showing all the magazine covers we discussed on the show.

Watch: Missile strikes, tanks and buildings destroyed in Kyiv
By air, land, and sea, Russia has launched a devastating attack on Ukraine, a European democracy of 44 million people, and its forces are on the outskirts of the capital, Kyiv.
For months, President Vladimir Putin denied he would invade his neighbour, but then he tore up a peace deal, sending forces across borders in Ukraine's north, east and south.
As the number of dead climbs, he stands accused of shattering peace in Europe. What happens next could jeopardise the continent's entire security structure.
