RowdyRebel Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 ...got stuff to do today, though, so I'll get the video uploaded later this weekend. HOPEFULLY it shows up pretty good...will be the first "night time" dash cam footage I've looked at.

RowdyRebel Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 That thumbnail ain't going anywhere. Whacked it pretty good with a staple gun a couple months ago...that dark spot just keeps moving out as the nail grows. 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

RowdyRebel Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 We were putting plastic up in the hay loft...keep the hay dry if the tin roof leaks. My staple gun broke...so I bought a new "heavy duty" one. Well, when you squeeze a little and it doesn't shoot the staple, you don't have to re-squeeze....it's already cocked. I didn't realize that and got my thumb between the trigger and the body of the gun and when I leaned on it a little "POW". A string of words I can't repeat in a public forum flowed from my lips....quite loudly, I might add....and then I got back to work. It was a long couple of days over that weekend...cleaned out the loft, replaced quite a few rotten boards on the floor, and hung the plastic getting it ready for hay to be cut....and it was late the 2nd night when it happened.I'm hard on my hands, though....got more scars on my hands than dollars in my wallet.Probably be another hour or two for the video....first one just now finished uploading, so it's starting the one from last night.

RowdyRebel Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Apparently, they thought my left turn signal meant "please pass me on this side"... I almost wish I had been driving a truck I didn't care about. Had I kept going, they would've hit me somewhere between my drives and fuel tank. Had they hit me, it wouldn't have ended well for them because I would have CONTINUED DRIVING until I had cleared the tracks (trains come through quite frequently, so I'm not going to sit there waiting to get creamed)...even if that meant dragging my trailer completely up over the top of them....and if THAT didn't kill them, I would have finished the job as soon as the truck was off the tracks....which would have PROBABLY bought me a reserved room at the gray-bar motel for a while. 2 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

HeavyGunner Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Gotta love aholes in cars. Seeing crap like that on a daily basis drives me insane when I think about all of the hoops I have to jump through and laws I follow to have a cdl. Not to mention if I ever got pulled over in my personal vehicle driving like the ahole in your video I would likely lose my job because that would be a reckless ticket and my csa points would be to high for my employers. I'm out here in BFE and maybe pass 100 cars a day on y 400 mile run and a fair chunk of them pass me on double lines, blind corners or in turn lanes. I couldn't imagine driving in any kind of populated area anymore. I just don't have the patience I guess. 2 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

other dog Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I like running in the woods myself better than being on 79 or 81, but people pass anywhere, doesn't matter if it's on a double line or in a curve, they just pass wherever they catch you, especially in West Virginia. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post 41chevy Posted August 30, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2015 I get the ones that are behind me, pass me, cut back in and immediately get off the exit right in front of me.

RowdyRebel Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Happens here, too...but when exits are 5-10 miles apart, it limits opportunity for that dumbass maneuver. I TRY to avoid the big road when I can, but sometimes it is inevitable I'll have to run it. Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Underdog Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 My neighbor actually called me to apologize for cutting me off the other day... I had to really try to remember the incident because it happens so often in the northeast... F.I.D.O. forget it and drive on...
