Hoss Is Boss....

On The Florida Turnpike Yesterday...
I figured out how to get Ron to pick up the speed while driving out on the open road (I have a lead foot and he drives like Sunday morning). We were just loading our car to leave a Rest Area on The Florida Turnpike, when I excitedly spotted this truck....
Why would Ron chase this truck down the Turnpike for me? I had to take a picture for my son, Andrew... aka, HOSS! At this moment in time, he is known as Elder Hoss in Peru. We are confident that he is called Elder Hoss because Hostetler is difficult to pronounce (even in English, for some)
We went zooming up the Turnpike after Hoss Trucking. I was sure we had missed him. However, true to Ron's nature, he delivered. After 5-10 minutes, we were approaching Hoss. I started snapping photos while going 80+miles per hour. I am sure the driver thinks he was being stalked by some crazed Gator Fans headed to Gainesville.
Driving at high speed, I was just sure these photos would not turn out well. This one below was taken as we were riding side by side. This is when I was sure the trucker would get on his radio to all his trucker buddies and tell them to run us off the road so we would not stalk him all the way to his destination. We sped on past and left him in our dust! Way to go Ron (The true, original Hoss!)
And we thought Andrew was in Peru....now we find he is running an Interstate Trucking Company in the USA. Ha!
