How ya'll is? Can you believe that it's November already? Seems like it was only yesterday that I was signing the papers and picking up my truck...now here it is 10 months and 21,000 miles later! I look at my truck now and I feel that I have come a long way since I bought it, and I'm very thankful to be where I am with it now. I am also very thankful to have had the opportunity to meet the people that I have met, and was able to go to the places I have been this year. We, as minitruckers, are very fortunate to be involved in a lifestyle that has a common thread to tie us all together...not just our love for our trucks and all things custom, but for our fellow minitrucker as well. Now don't get me wrong, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with kicking back with friends and checking out phat ass rides and fly ass hineys, I mean honeys. This is a big part of what makes our lifestyle so great, but it is us, the people involved, that make minitrucking what it is. I guess my whole point for rambling this month is, be thankful for what you have. With Thanksgiving coming up, which means Christmas is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FOLKS, we need to stop for a minute and take stock to know what we each have to be thankful for. When you are out visiting family, make sure to take the time to tell them that you love them and to give them each a hug. If you have friends that can't be with their families, invite them to come with you, most Moms’ will be more than happy to take in another son or daughter for a day. If you are in a position that you can't be with your family, take the time out of your busy schedule to call them and tell them that you are thinking of them. I also want to let everyone in on some information that I heard a while back, the holiday season can be a very difficult and stressful time, so be supportive of one another. The holidays, unfortunately, also bring on a rise in crime, so be careful when you go visiting loved ones or shopping, especially the ladies.

Here are a few things that we can all use to protect ourselves, now and always. Park in well-lit areas. Dark parking areas are a good spot to have you and your vehicle terrorized. Carry your keys in your hand. This reduces the time spent unlocking the car and they can also make a crude yet effective weapon. Walk in groups or ask for an escort to your vehicle. Most businesses have security guards to do this, but a nice employee is just as good. Lock your doors as soon as you get in the vehicle. This gives you a barrier against an attacker. I encourage everyone to use these tips to make the holidays, and any other day, safer. I would also like to invite ya'll to e-mail with the things that you are thankful for this Thanksgiving, or if you just want to let me know what you think, about anything, especially this column, you can drop me a line at ExplicitS10@Hotmail.com . Oh yeah..HAPPY TURKEY DAY YA'LL!! Until next month...keep your wheels spinnin' and the beavers grinnin'! Jeff MillerExplicit Concepts, Texaswww.explicitconcepts.com
