  1. everything will take some time. You got 40 years of "stuff" going on there. Glad to hear the motor is running fine.
  2. I hear ya also Mark. ith the economy, rates suck because some one will come in cheaper. Rules, regulations, DOT, insurance,... And fuel kicking $4/gal here But, I am talking to a guy that may provide a full full time gig. Load and haul, bout a 1 hour one way May look into getting a second truck. Could use a REAL driver for it. Wanna move to Florida?
  3. Ummmm- why is water being hauled TO a marina?
  4. First-my condolences to you and your family Them new kids don't know how to work in the heat. If they were out side, maybe 1/2 a day is all you would get from them
  5. Maybe your just old and out of shape. OD-OLD dog
  6. Not irrelevant at all. we in the garbage bizz are in every neighborhood at some point in time. And roll-off is worse as you are in the driveways. As I approach a pile of debris, I start looking all around. sometimes I have to move 2 feet for better clearance. OR, write up for smaller truck. Yep, doo-doo happens. Just hope its only truck damage not bodily damage
  7. In the first pic? no. That is a catch fence at the landfill. Please appreciate the flat tires. All 10 on the ground were shot Cut the neutral, got caught by the 7000 line
  8. This is what it looked like from the crows nest
  9. Question-would it be appropriate to use a 3/4 impact for the outer nut? Freighttrain-I hit a power line. remember dontcha?
  10. After reading this, I realize how much of my youth that I missed. Dad had a cabinet shop, so I was there. Sanding cabinets, helping make Formica countertops (that was good glue) Helping deliver and install Saturday was clean up day. Sweep floors and take scrap wood and stuff to the dump Dad made sure we brought a bottle of Ballantine Ale for Mr. Gebert
  11. How they found a jury that did not know much about the killing from that area, I don't know. BUT, once chosen and sequestered, they only had the evidence presented to use for their decision. WE, on the other hand, had the luxury on hearing and seeing-opinions, conjecture, race baiting,... Wannabe thug vs. wannabe cop The district attorney found no basis for charges. THE STATE got involved and found their own charges. Even the SA was withholding evidence, but that failed. The whistleblower was fired REMEMBER TAWANA BRAWLEY!!!
  12. Don't think he was home for a week. Maybe get some cabana clothes for the three weeks of 70+ weather
  13. Bigen is working the oil fields in N. Dakota. Got hisself a camper trailer. Not much good at -35 he says. But at least he's not in one of them man camps
  14. Y'all gonna start dragging my history back up? No problem-I effed up big. I admit it. Change in procedures and double check/triple check before I move
  15. I remember those kind of days. Now, it's sweet tea or coffee
  16. Ya know David, it may be possible. I watched everything after that for about 2 weeks. Had heard all kinds of stories from others, but never saw anything. That happened over a year ago. I thought things would show up sooner. The truck does a lot of tight turning, back and forth stuff, so it may have just been time.
  17. Was thinking diesel, but was wondering about residue thinning gear lube. Maybe such a small amount would not hurt. understand about the wear ring. Thank You
  18. he is in Edinburgh-----------------------------------Scotland
  19. Had tire issues yesterday. as I'm checking things, I notice the axle end play is about 1/2 inch. OK, I have bearings and seal at the yard. get there this morning and A) replacement tire is flat 1/2 inch air hose for the impact has a hole. Get new hose and proceed to start taking everything apart. Lots of metal shavings as soon as the axle breaks the seal. Lots more when I get bearings out. Decide to change the other side, but don't have another set. Monday will be a parts run first thing. Several questions-the spindle has a metal ring that was for a different seal than what was original. how can I remove this? or just get the same seal that just came off? Also, how would I flush the rear end? Drain plug is out and will let it drip. Lucky I have several days off to get this all done
  20. Another friggen YANKEE!!!! learn to like grits, G.R.I.T.S., (they are different but good eatin') real BBQ, greens. The difference between y'all, and all y'all. You still can get some winter there.
  21. Myjami eh. No plans to be on 95 this weekend, so I'll be safe
  22. man that sucks. Glad you got the problem fixed so far. Relax. Ain't much on TV nowadays, but there is always something on the computer
  23. I hope you got the check and it has cleared the bank BTW-where in Florida?
