Next we checked out my parts collection in what was a grainery at one time- he appreciated the parts but, thought oats & corn would be a better use of the space.

He then wanted to see the SPID on my future project truck from TX

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Welcome back Monroe ,we missed you . He has great taste in trucks and parts from where I sit.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Lastly, we checked out the cab from CA that will end up on the K10- he said it was okay but, special K has a orange one that's cleaner than this one. Tomorrow night I'll have a few pics that include the family.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

He can sure be critical when it comes to these truck parts. Looks like an awful good cab to me. that rust can happen just from sitting in one spot too long. My how he has become quite the expert in such little time. If you take him to town and people ask, "Who's your chicken?", you'll have to reply, "No, he's not a native. He's visiting from the Evergreen State". :lol:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Well, in appreciation of our honorable chicken, the town rolled out the red carpet to make him feel welcome. He thought "home of the flying chicken hawks" would better than jets

Monroe,our daughter,tigger(the truck), & me

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Rachel Ann our daughter, has fun playing "girly stuff" with Monroe- he's a good sport!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

She thinks the outfit she has him in will improve his image- I just think he'll be confused which bathroom to use the next time we're out. Tomorrow night will be his last night with us, moving on Friday morning. Thanks for checking in

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Haha love the outfit! Great pics

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I bet he felt right at home considering he's from Monroe =)

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

:lol: Love the pics. Looks like he is having a great time

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

He's off to a great restart. Great pics.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Last day with us- we brought out some parts that will be used on my future K10 build. My daughter is bummed that he's leaving

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Monroe even enjoys a little off-roading! Hope PETA doesn't come after me for not having a helmet on Monroe. Tomorrow he's off to KS- it's been fun!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

PETA.....people eating tasty food....lol

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Looks like Monroe is having a great time!

Glad to see Monroe is on the move!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Looks like he had a great time with your daughter. At least I can't see any change in his expression with the new duds. On the road again...

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Look who showed up at my front door today.

After being cooped up in that box all weekend en route from Indiana to Kansas, Monroe was a tired and stiff. He decided to take it easy tonight and watch TV with Grandma.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

looks like he settled right in. Did Grandma fix him some good vittles?

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I was going to take Monroe to work with me this morning, but the little bugger wouldn't wake up. Probably sat around most of the day watching more TV and smokin cigarettes with Grandma. I hope he doesn't get hooked.

But when I got home, I found him just hanging out in the garage leaning up against the tool box staring at my truck.

http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/...81075b0d14.jpg

He was pretty disappointed that we can't take it for ride, so I let him sit behind the wheel for a while.

Tonight's it's early to bed because he's going to work with me like it or not. I've got a surprise planned for lunch! :)

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I hope it aint chicken.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Glad he made it- looks like he's having a good time!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I love the look gramma is giving, "you're really gonna play with a rubber chicken?" LOL!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

That's pretty much the reaction I got from wife and Grandma (mother-in-law). :haha: :haha: :haha:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Monroe caught wind of the surprise and was wide-eyed and ready to go first thing this morning. He was pretty excited when he saw the sign and insisted I take his picture.

http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/...999D712BF6.jpg

He changed his tune once we went inside and decided to wait in the truck. Didn't talk to me the the rest of the day.

When we got home he wanted to "inspect" my body work. He didn't say much. Just looked down his beak at the truck, then at me, then back at the truck and back at me with an occasional "hmmmm." I told him it wasn't done, but he he just kept giving me "that look."

http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/...6F1B32EDC2.jpg

Monroe kind of changed his tune when the grandkids came over. He really liked Daisy, but not so sure about Porter.

Afterward he decided to retire to his roost in the kitchen to get rested up before hitting the road tomorrow.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

You didn't tell him you went in to set all the chickens free? (but were too late)
One little white lie might have helped him not hold anything against you, at least. So, he's plucking right along to the next adventure, ey?

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

so far we are doing good, every Friday he off to a new adventure, hope we can keep this going this good.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Im super happy you took this over. Looks like you have a good plan going. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Guys ,I really needed this thread this week ,Im on here ,just not posting much yet .

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I'm a civil engineer and one of our best (paying) clients decided to change buildings and double the size of three of my projects, at once. Did I mention all three are fully permitted and under construction? I've been working nights and weekends for the past month, I don't even know how many hours... There is light at the end of the tunnel... I have one more big submittal due Wednesday afternoon and they're all back in and complete.

I was still at work last night and my wife told me a strange box showed up at our door.

Funny. I didn't order anything? Where is it from?

"Kansas?"

WTF, I don't know anyone in Kansas. Open it and see what it is?

Silence...

Well, what is it?


It's ummmm... a tattooed rubber chicken? What kinda of weird **** are you doing now?

It's kind of weird explaining to your wife that you and your internet friends are playing with a rubber chicken...

Long story short, I'm slammed the next few days, but I plan on going to the Goodguys event in Charlotte with my truck club on Saturday, so there should be some awesome pics coming ;) I'll absolutely have him back in the mail on monday.

The last time I had his dad up in Charlotte he got to meet The King himself!!!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

^^ That just made my morning:lol:. I could see my wife saying that exact same thing.

Love that this is going again. Can't wait for the next adventure.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Im in to see what he gets into next .
