mowerman Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 I had that happen to me one time on a customers car while we were trying to get it started. I was leaning over it as well. Most of the shit went on my shirt. I was lucky.

Good to see the truck's working out like you were hoping for after the surprises in the begining. Zina noticed right away, like as soon as I took them out of the envelope they were in. I said "well, i'm not taking them back now". 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted October 13 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 13 Chester cheeta was at the parade too- Channel 6 news out of Richmond was there. We can't get Richmond from here, just Lynchburg and Roanoke, but I saw no mention of the parade on their website. And this truck came all the way from Canada to be in the parade. I was wondering if they drove it all the way from Canada with that open cab, but when Zina was coming back up 460 from the Kroger store yesterday evening she said it passed her, and it was on a trailer. I have a few more pictures, I think i'll put them on flickr and post a link. 4 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 I don't know why that Dodge pickup in the snow is still there, I thought I removed it twice. I took some of these with a camera, some with a phone, and some Zina sent me, so it was hard to get them all organized. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mowerman Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 We used to have a truck show here at the Alamo every year. I haven’t really heard about it in a long time but I used to fuel there every morning and I haven’t been in there in 18 years pretty much started working for Fedex and 2006 and they had their own fuel pumps, so I didn’t need to go into the Alamo anymore so I don’t know if they still have them or not They also had trucker appreciation day where we could all go in there with a class a license and get a free steak dinner. Don’t know if that is still going either. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74630-pictures-of-the-week/page/2/#findComment-560079 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 Wow, that was excellent Tom thanks for that kind of a tearjerker and now we know who drives that old fire engine.
