10/4 Is National CB Radio Day, Over
It's the perfect time to brush up on your APCO 10 codes.

If it was good enough for the Duke boys, it's good enough for us.
Regardless of your feelings toward Jimmy Carter, I think we can all agree that his finest act as president was the creation of National CB Radio day. Carter designated October 4, 10/4, as a day to honor the citizens band, and to celebrate, we're giving you a chance to brush up on your APCO 10 codes.
Some of them may surprise you. Everyone knows what "10-4" means ... but "10-40" could mean "run silent," "dead animal," or even "mental patient." The possibilities are fascinating. Here are 10 to get you started.

Convoy (1978 film)
Convoy is a 1978 action film directed by Sam Peckinpah and starring Kris Kristofferson, Ali MacGraw, Ernest Borgnine, Franklyn Ajaye and Burt Young. The movie is based on the 1975 country and western novelty song "Convoy" by C. W. McCall and Chip Davis. The film was made when the CB radio/trucking craze was at its peak in the United States, and followed the similarly themed films White Line Fever (1975) and Smokey and the Bandit (1977), and the television series Movin' On (1974).
....
Production
Convoy was filmed almost entirely in the state of New Mexico. Production began in 1977 when the CB radio/trucking craze was at its peak, made during the same period as such films as Smokey and the Bandit (1977), Handle with Care (1977), Breaker! Breaker! (1977) and High-Ballin' (1978), as well as the television series Movin' On (1974–1976) and B. J. and the Bear (1979–1981).

Sam Peckinpah? I hadn't known that.
C’mon..
...and that's my birthday! 
It's been delightful thus far. 
A Chump resignation would make it the perfect day!
