Popular Post other dog Posted December 8 Popular Post Share Posted December 8 So we took the big green International that runs now down to Cumberland, my home town, to a Christmas Parade today. Thing runs like a clock now, no issues. We took all three dogs, they did great too. We heard kids yelling "puppies!" all along the route. 12 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

No way Bubba J could ride with sleeper window open - a kid would holler and he would bail out The seats are strapped in, and their harness' are strapped to the seats. I drilled a hole on both sides of the sleeper near the back down into the storage area. Then I put an eye bolt on each side and ran a 1" ratchet strap through the seats and hooked it to the eye bolts. They ride really good in it, Roman seems to like it better than riding in the pickup. The kids were the best part, I heard several yell "puppies!" when they spotted the dogs. They were way more impressed with the "puppies" than the truck! And Mack would bark right in my ear periodically, it was a lot of fun. We're going to another Christmas Parade in Pamplin Sunday. That one is a lot closer, but it's supposed to be a lot colder too. Weather was great yesterday, got up to the upper 60s. 4 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

I didn't either at first, I just happened to notice the latches one day. The one on the driver side opened pretty easy, took a little WD-40 before the passenger side one opened easy. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

When I made some phone calls for you I told 'em that if anyone gave you any lip that I would personally come down there and straighten them out. Yes indeed! As soon as I mentioned your name they said "oh, pardon me sir, we're really sorry for any inconvenience that you may have suffered. Right this way, please". And then they escorted us to our designated spot, where they had drinks and sammiches for us. Meanwhile, in the real world they already had the right lane of rt.60 closed when we got there about 12:30. The parade entry numbers were on a flag beside the road. But we went past our number to the NAPA store, like we were told to do. And the guy at NAPA told us to go back and park beside our number. So we went back up the road, turned around, then came back to our spot. Not a big deal at all, but that was exactly what I was trying to find out in the first place when we were told to "be at NAPA at 1pm". 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

This time there was what I thought was a dead chicken laying in the road there. I moved over to the left to go around it, and it got up and started towards the house, which is on the left. And the "dead chicken" was a little white fuzzy dog. It has been laying in the road licking his...whatever 🤣 and it ran right in front of us! But the brakes work pretty good, we missed the little fella. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted December 9 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 9 No, it's a plastic wreath from the Dollar Store. I think all that stuff came from the Dollar Store. We pulled over after the parade though and took all of it off anyway, then crammed it all in the side box so we can put it back on this Sunday. 5 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted December 10 Author Share Posted December 10 ...but now I doubt if we'll be going to another parade on Sunday anyway, or if they'll even have it. They're saying there's a 70% chance of rain Sunday, high in the 40's, and I have no wipers and no heat. 1 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

But I like them myself, nothing wrong with going into Family Dollar and buying a bottle of ketchup or mustard for half what it costs at Kroger. Seen one bottle of mustard you've seen them all as far as I'm concerned. Dollar General even sells refrigerated and frozen food items now, beer, pretty much whatever you want. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mowerman Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 We used to just go to the one where we buy our produce and get our prescriptions but once I retired, we started watching prices and like you said it’s amazing how much money you could save if you start watching what you’re buying different markets you could save at least half Bottle ketchup, mayonnaise relish mustard really noticed with a bottle of Cayenne pepper and shampoo. They were about 1/3 the price two different stores. But yes, bottom line both those dollar stores are very handy to have and they’re really close to here if you need something at the last minute for a barbecue or a party. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74843-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-563662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
