I am working in South Lake Tahoe this week. I got out of my truck and out of the corner of my eye I saw something on the edge of the road. It was a computer. I wonder if people are tossing them now instead of paying to dispose of them?
It's older but all there. It's missing the power cord so I can't fire it up.

Take the power cord you are using to post this and try to fire it up.

It's not a "pick me up truck", it's a "pick 'em up truck", and that's trucker lingo, not country music lingo.

ZV <-- Knows this because he listens to both Country and Trucker Country music.
