Re: My Facetruck thread.
I never lose my wallet... NEVER! But I did seem too one late winter day. I remembered using it at a convenience store we stopped at on the way home from work. It had about $300 in it and that upset me. Went back to the store, no one knew nothing no way no how. Hmmm... really? Or did someone keep it? I remember setting my coffee on top of a trash can in front of the store while waiting for my crew to come out. So I dug through that. I did get a bunch of aluminum cans!! :lol: Nah. So anyway, I was bummed. I NEVER lose that thing! Had to cancel cards, get new drivers license, all that stuff. Ok, so spring, summer, fall pass and it's getting cold out. I dig out the Carhart bibs, unfold them, and, 'plunk'. What's that on the floor that just fell out? My wallet!! Like I said, I never lose that thing! That day was the last time I wore the bibs that winter. DOH!!
That money spent real easy, just as Killer's is going to :cool: |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
Last week, we took some friends to a new restaurant, and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange.
When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I observed that he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets. When the waiter came back to serve our soup I inquired, 'Why the spoon?' 'Well,' he explained, 'the restaurant's owner hired a Consultant to revamp all of our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil. It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour ‘If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift.' As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he replaced it with his spare. 'I'll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now.' I was impressed. I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the waiter's fly. Looking around, I saw that all of the waiters had the same string hanging from their flies. So, before he walked off, I asked the waiter, 'Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?' ‘Oh, certainly!' the consulting firm I mentioned also learned that we can save time in the restroom. By tying this string to the tip of our you-know-what, we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the restroom by 76.39%. I asked quietly, 'After you get it out, how do you put it back?' 'Well,' he whispered, 'I don't know about the others, but I use the spoon.' |

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Super Bowl
Alright, friends. I hate asking for things from people, but this is really serious. A good friend of mine has two tickets on the fifty yard line for the 2019 Super Bowl. He paid $2,500 each, but he didn't realize last year when he bought them, it was going to be on the same day as his wedding. If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place. The wedding is at St. Michael's Church in Nashville at 3 p.m. The bride's name is Nicole, and she's 5'4", about 115 lbs. She's a good cook too. She'll be the one in the white dress. Hope you can be there for him! Can you help him??? |

I put it back for safe keeping, some day I might actually remember what it was for ;) Mrs. Bee saved my outgoing payment from the fourth day of our local deluge [I thought was ending yesterday] so it went in the blue box today :) speaking of which, I noticed my kid's beach buckets were left out from last weekend's casting practice with his new kastking baitcaster and full of water.. 8 1/4 inches worth and still goin' when I left for work :eek: that ain't what I'm paying these ridiculous property taxes for :rolleyes: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/u8bn3i9b5vk...29725.jpg?dl=0 |

Re: My Facetruck thread.
so, Jack recalled his stainless cups that came with gentleman gift boxes, limit 2 per household..
seems there's an issue with sharp edges or something and they're asking purchasers to throw them away.. Mrs. Bee informs them that we have bought many of those and even after giving them away, still had several.. Jack replied as a gentleman, sent an even case of etched low ball rocks glasses :metal: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/cpc69hwtil3...asses.jpg?dl=0 |

Re: My Facetruck thread.
New bones for ol' Blue! It's all uphill from here. You must be the good feller I figured you were by having such great friends.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Dale
That's some good friend's you have there. Your truck is coming along. I hope you get to feeling better. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
My mother turned 92 last Thursday and has been in Hospice most of the week. She ain't doin' good but they will send her home tomorrow. We found out Medicare won't pay for your final days in hospice. Luckily she can afford full time care at home.
Man she is a fighter. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma 20 years ago, went through treatment and is still going. 95-100 % blockage in her arteries is getting her down now. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
Dale, it makes me so happy to see your truck going back together, and to know you have friends like that.
If a man is measured by his friends, you must be one hell of a guy. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
Killer, I wondered how much of nothing you had left.
What happened to all the perfect weather I have always heard about out there? I come out and can't see for the smoke, and now you can't move for the mud. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
Good morning Larry. Our moms are both in the same shape and mine was in the hospital again last week too. 5th time since july. Mine has major blockages too and is no candidate for stints and refused open heart surgery. She’ll be 88 in march. We had a good day together saturday before last going through dad’s tools and stuff. I drove Ms Louise down to her favorite bbq place and she really seemed to enjoy that. Like me she loves bbq. And she loves her 91 chevy sportside truck. Of course we took it. It was a good day with mom.
The next monday she blacked out in the kitchen then fell hitting her her head on the fridge door lower hinge plate. Layed her head open. She woke up in a pool of blood and was able to call my sis as she keeps a cell phone in her pocket. She has hospice come in twice a week and that woman arrived as the ambulance was pulling away. I know you and your sister live on pins n needles waiting for THE phone call too. |

I hope both of your moms do well and are comfortable. My truck won't be pretty bu it will be drivable. ..
|
Re: My Facetruck thread.
Thanks Dale.
Like yours, I hope to get mine just drivable soon. I'm not going to hold it up waiting for new paint. It most likely won't get painted as long as I have it. I'm ok with that too. I drove my first truck 10 yrs in medium gray primer and actually got compliments on it too. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
That's where I'm at with my '67 project too. I want to do the body and paint, but not until I have a shop to do it in. That's not happening on this property and I'm still here. Since it won't be sitting in a shop or garage to protect it I won't leave it in primer. But because I won't be finessing the body and fresh paint over less than prepped body is not to my liking, I plan to shoot it in Hot Rod Flatz Red Oxide, so it will look primed (primed in that now) but be painted. I'll be rolling with the rough 'n' ready look. If and when one day I get to refining it's minor sheet metal issues, I will have a good base to scuff and shoot all shiny pretty. I do plan to finish paint the inside of the cab & doors. I want to drive that thing!
