  1. All the concerts I went to were in Richmond,Hampton, Roanoke- and the one in D.C- colliseums except for Pink Floyd. They were at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh,N.C. in the early '90's. I must give them a plug, it was by far the greatest concert I have ever seen. Absolutely awesome experience! I didn't see David, but he might well have been there,i'm not sure. Get the "Pulse" video, that was the same tour, I highly reccomend it. They played "Dark Side of the Moon" in it's entirety, just like on the album. Here's a sample- When the giant inflatable pigs came out during "One of These Days" I was shocked and awed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqKkNezFG-g
  2. true, you can take a post off with everything turned off-everything-and touch the post to the terminal and if you get any little arc at all, you've got a drain somewhere. I had one on the mixer,it would sit for months at a time and start right up, then all of a sudden the batteries would go down in a week or so. I put battery disconnect switches on both batteries and turn them off when i'm not using it and haven't had any more problems. This would not be a good solution for you of course. If the problem is indeed the batteries themselves, these are excellent batteries. Lot of 4-wheelrs used them back in my mud bogging days, but they certainly aren't cheap. http://shop.optimabatteries.com/products/category/Commercial/1737.0.1.1.54254.25724.0.0.0
  3. no doubt, things happen, and they can happen to anyone. I dropped a load of structural steel where they were building the new middle school in Appomattox one fine Friday. All I had to do was drop the trailer and bobtail a mile or so to the shop, and I was done for the week. I spotted the trailer, wound the landing gear legs down, unhooked the 5th. wheel, and took off. It's really amazing just how far those plastic air hoses will stretch when you forget to unhook them.
  4. me too. the only surprising part was that Mark wasn't first.
  5. I didn't pay that much attention to it, I thought it was a Cargostar...now there's a bush in front of it so I can't tell.
  6. you're welcome, just trying to do my part to help further your BMT education.
  7. oh... I thought of Panama hats/Panama City Florida=Hat City. I knew you didn't live anywhere near Panama City, I just thought you were geographically challenged because you're from Connecticut...sorry,my bad!
  8. I've seen plantains at the grocery store, but never tried them. Look like souped up bananners. I've seen lots of Belarus tractors for sale in the "Tractor House", and Yan-Mars,Kiotis,Mahindras, John Deeres.
  9. more pictures- a Mack somebody lost a load of hay fine looking Ford dump truck the old A-40 in Moneta I was sitting at the red light in Concord yesterday and just happened to notice that I could see my reflection in the car next to me.
  10. I may be slow, but i'll get there eventually.
  11. uh...Vinny...you spelt "definately" wrong.
  12. why'd you have to go and dredge up that fat pig? I never liked her after reading about how she likes to be seen as a wonderful, sweet, caring person in public but is actually a hateful bitch who treats her employees and others like crap. I liked her even less after she was blasting Tom Selleck and the NRA on tv that time...
  13. I ain't saying nuthin but "glad you're OK Ed". I've known of 2 people who were killed when they raised a dump body into power lines, one was my late wife's brother and the other was a guy I went to school with in Cumberland, Va.
  14. This one- Odds and Ends This forum is for non-truck related topics. Talk about interesting web sites, current events, tell jokes, post funny photos...etc
  15. One for Randy...he loves this stuff.
  16. ...and it was still there Wednesday, but I think they were about to move, all the lights were flashing.
  17. at least he was smart enough to stay in the truck. I used to work with a man that moved to Virginia from Texas and he told me that where he used to work in Texas a guy got a truck, don't remember what type it was, into some power lines. They were yelling at him to stay put but he panicked and jumped out and was killed instantly.
  18. yeah, I missed that. very hilarious, like a screen door in a submarine "uddin-uddin...scrchhhhch-scrhhhhch...uddin-uddin...scrhhhhch-scrhhhhhch...boodin-boodin". I think i've got the sound part.
  19. yes, I can check it out, it's just north of Lynchburg on 29 a little ways.
  20. that's a "for sale" sign on the hood.
