Paul Back in my younger days people would have a party or cookout and order a keg sometimes. You had to order them in advance from the beer distributor and rent the tap too. Many folks have spent all evening and half the night trying to "float the keg", only to end up passed out on somebody's lawn. It seemed like the thing to do at the time, but they didn't realize just how much 15 1/2 gallons of beer really is. I've been called the day after such events before and heard "hey, Joe's got half a keg of beer left and he's got to have the keg back by tomorrow, come on over!". I tried to do my part to help out. I knew a guy who had a refrigerator in his basement and kept a pony keg in it. He had the tap mounted on the side and could just grab a red Solo cup and have a cold draft beer whenever he wanted, that was pretty neat. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Freightrain Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Tires..... they ain't what they used to be. You used to be able to wear them out long before they dry rotted. Now, 3-4 yrs and the sidewalls start to look bad. They cut corners by removing the UV protection. They save money AND make money by selling more tires. Win+Win. My black car has tires from 1997 on it. Still look good but sits in a dark garage. The Mack has drive tires from 2001 on it. Again look fine because it sits in the garage. I do want to replace the drives just because I don't want to loose one some night in the middle of nowhere. I put steers on it about 5 yrs ago just because of age(from 2001also). 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

I put steers on it about 5 yrs ago just because of age(from 2001also). Yeah, no more than I drive the pickup I probably wouldn't even put tires on it. My Ranger pickup wouldn't pass inspection one time because of dry rot cracks that weren't near this bad. I just took it to another inspection station, and they passed it. But, we're thinking of moving back over to the Appomattox area to be nearer to family, and civilization in general. Heck, it's nearer to everywhere. Zina said we're not thinking, it's a done deal. So we're going to move to Appomattox. Anyhow, I wouldn't want to be driving up 501 with a mattress, coffee table, and TV on the back and suffer catastrophic tire failure, so I might just go get some tires on it. It's old enough that I could get antique tags for it, then you don't even have to have it inspected in Va. but I'm not going to go that route unless I have to.

Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted March 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2023 Yeah Bob, I don't quite understand this world anymore Most of work I do, well all of it really I have to be 00 for alcohol and drug free and am expect to take a drug and alcohol test at any stage for no reason at all Yet the bludgers on welfare get their handouts from the government and don't have tyo prove they are sober and drug free And those same bludgers get free needles and "safe injecting rooms", what ever they are yet people working that need needles because they have a illness like diabetes or some other chronic condition have to pay for their needles The world's gone mad And no matter what anyone says,drug addiction is a choice not a illness Phew, almost got a rant going then, I'll get down off my soap box and take myself to the naughty corner Paul 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72582-pictures-of-the-week/page/2/#findComment-527543 Share on other sites More sharing options...
