  1. Used to haul for a small paving company who's owner would sometimes bid on jobs without looking at a map. Got him in some hot water a time or two. The bankrupcy auction is in a couple weeks... What's a Deere 892 excavator in marginal condition worth..?

    Vision?

    Maybe broke, but not broke down. Been sittin in the shed lately, not much goin on. Not lookin too promising yet for this year.
  3. Don't people spend a lot of money modifying and/or spec'ing a truck for those cozad ramps or whatever they're called? That's a good candidate right there.
  4. Next time, tell 'em "America's next top model".
  5. Gah! I saw that truck headed south...err...east on I-74 by the Quad Cities about a month ago. Couldn't grab my phone quick enough to take the picture. Sharp lookin unit!
  6. If it weren't for Chicago, Illinois would be a MUCH different place. East St. Louis, well...we could just sawzall that off the state and float it down the Mississippi.
  7. There were 2 (two) counties in IL that voted for Dr. Quinn medicine woman...one was Cook, the other was down your way. I hope it wasn't yours.

    Rowdy...

    Boy, that's an interesting twist proposing that an individual be held liable for requiring that a visitor to one's property be 'disarmed' while on said property and in the event that something happened that could have been prevented had said individual remained armed. Freaking lawyer driving truck I tell ya.

    http://www.lincolncourier.com/newsnow/x868510903/FOID-card-records-focus-of-dispute Long story short, Lisa Madigan-IL Atty General, feels that the names of people who have FOID cards should be public record. Much like a phone book for gun owners. Personally, I don't own a gun nor do I have a FOID card. But sooner or later down the road I might. At any rate, I thought this woman wasn't half bad until this. Most have her pegged for the next gov of IL. With her as governor and her father as senate president...can't wait to see what phucked up crap they come up with.
  10. Couple that with the fact that pretty much no matter who, a democrat was going to win that election anyway. I have a feeling (I hope) that the dems are going to go the way of the legal latino U.S. citizen next time around, into the minority.
  11. Few years back, driving down a 2-lane road I looked down and saw that I was doing about 70+ and right as I did that a sheriff was going the other way, saw in the mirror his brake lights come on. Knowing I was had, I just pulled over and waited. Cop paid me a compliment for not having to chase me down, I said I knew I was in for it so I just saved him the trouble. Left with a verbal warning. But most times they're just dicks, spanish inquisition about what you're doing/where you're going.
  12. Somewhere locked away is the recipe for the perfect long lasting asphalt road. Doubt it'll ever see the light of day though. Roads last 10 years at best, so that keeps people working from the DOT maintainers down to the asphalt companies. But if they wanted to do something good, use concrete. In my small area alone, there are 3 cement plants...2 of which are shuttered and 1 in full operation. Made with American materials in America. Ethanol is not much more than a stopgap feel good thing. Something to bridge the gap, of which doesn't exist.
  13. Dick's Sporting Goods...for ALL your hunting needs.
  14. I saw in my local paper that the guy who killed those 2 girls was denied workers compensation. Talk about absurd, demanding to be compensated for that b.s. They're all a joke and overpaid.
  15. I stand by my statement. While I'm not trying to make light of someone getting hurt, nor do I endorse it...come to my area, they're rediculous.
  16. Why not? In the winter months due to excessive use, I bill for a windshield washer surcharge. Cover all yer bases. kidding.
  17. Hmm...that truck looks familiar.... But I bet the cop got hit driving like a jackass through the median hurrying up to write a seatbelt ticket.
  18. I don't know what a log book is.
  19. Gah! You should've scuffed your truck a bit, told the cop there was 'damage' and then gotten that douchebag a leaving the scene of an accident ticket!@!!! Think man think!!
  20. Just go to your local dealer and twist their arm a bit.
  21. Don't wanna give up that Pete, eh?

    Steer Tires:

    Sonofabitch. Couple weeks ago I ran over something and put a hole in one of my steer tires...can't patch 'em so I had to buy a new one and ended up buying 2 because I have a complex about mis-matched tires. Put two Dunlap steers on for about twice what your tire guy wants for those tires...dammit sonofabitch. Luckily this happened right down the road from a tire shop and not in the middle of nowhere cause if I had to road it home I'da had to stop every 5 minutes to air up the tire.
  23. Ha ha. Girls work or not, I enjoy pullin a flatbed. If I ever did the OTR thing, it'd be flatbeddin.
  24. Good deal. Hope all goes well! Got to do some flatbeddin friday and yesterday haulin crane mats.....you and otherdog have it made. lol
