Re: My Facetruck thread.
The light turned yellow just in front of him. He did the right thing and stopped at the crosswalk, even though he could
have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman behind him was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, giving the guy in front of you the finger and cursing at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally I assumed you had stolen the car." |

She needs to put that stuff where 'she' can see it
EDIT: I'm with Leddzepp. I didn't realize this was a joke :lol: < There, I laughed :cool: On the intellectual level I do find your joke to be quite clever and rather insightful. Bravo, my good man, bravo indeed. |

My condolences Larry. It’s not easy.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Sorry to see this. If she was suffering, this is better, to be out of the misery that has only one end.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Larry, I'm sorry to hear that day has come. I've observed your comments on her well being over the last year or so, including your recent one where you said you were hanging close to her, and have wondered how she was doing. My mom is four years younger, doing pretty well, but I know not to take that for granted. God bless her soul and my she rest in peace. This was the first day of your life without a mother. At least you've had time to prepare yourself and accept this to be for the best at this point.... sigh

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Sorry to hear about your mother- praying for you and your family

Re: My Facetruck thread.
So sorry to hear about your Mom , Prayers for you and your family .
|
Re: My Facetruck thread.
It is hard to consider it joy when you encounter various trials and tribulations but it sounds like you are comforted with the knowledge of your mom being in a better place. I thought I was going to lose my mom a few months back. I was worried. It has brought my family closer.
I know it’s hard. Prayers |

I had to fix this:
Attachment 1874835 That's a cast iron radiator on the floor. 24' balloon framed 2" x 6" poplar studs. This is at the foundation, 3 ply brick above grade. She's a hurtin' unit, or was. Built-in gutter up top on this 1895 Victorian. Rotted downspout within the soffit let water run down the wall. Must have been decades. All the missing framing I pulled out with my hands, no tools. Siding and plaster were holding it together EDIT: WTH? Aren't we allowed to take wide pictures anymore? This came through sideways when I uploaded it, so I went to 'edit' and rotated it. That is how it shows in the thumbnail in my folder now. Fixed it, right? What do I do? Rotate it to be wrong so my computer will make it right? It's a primal violation to have control of your own matters ripped from your hands. Thanks Windows10 for 'helping' where help was not needed... ARGH! |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers guys.
I have two sisters and a brother that have been amazing through this whole thing. We had all her financial matters tended to before hand, so all we had to do was go through her personal stuff and divide it up. She had a nice low mileage car, so we set a value based on KBB, and drew for it. My sis got the car and my other sis and brother and I will get compensated out of the estate for our shares. I dropped the ball on the house. Just before my dad died, they bought a nice house. We never had a "Transfer on Death" deed made on that property, so now we will have to run her house through Probate. If you are facing a similar situation, get this stuff in order. It's a lot easier than messing with it afterwards. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
1. If poison expires, is it more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?
2. Which letter is silent in the word "Scent," the S or the C? 3. Do twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned? 4. Why is the letter W, in English, called double U? Shouldn't it be called double V? 5. Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you and It just takes 75-100 years to fully work. 6. Every time you clean something, you just make something else dirty. 7. The word "swims" upside-down is still "swims" 8. 100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses. 9. If you replace "W" with "T" in "What, Where and When", you get the answer to each of them. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
Now you got me thinking deep thoughts. Why are they called half smokes?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
That driving on the parkway and parking in the driveway is a head scratcher, too. For that matter, how do you park IN the driveway? Dig a hole?

Why do we mark inflammable as a safety warning when a substance that catches fire rapidly is flammable? "These cans say inflammable Joe. We're safe, go ahead and light that torch"

I live in a little old house in the country, log built 1857 by a freed slave. Everything I have built I have given thought to lend to it's original character. So I built an outhouse!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Different kind of gas from my experience in an outhouse. :devil:

I built a fairly large dog house... no dogs, but I like for people that pull up in my drive to think that I have one. I need to put a big bowl out there that says killer. ;) In reality it’s where I keep the fuel for the mower, chainsaws, weed trimmers,leaf blower and shop heater.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Nice out house shed Tim!
Scott, are you still raising buffalo? Nice dog house. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
Hey Ryan, Had an opportunity to acquire a couple head a few years ago but, I still haven’t built a fence to keep them in. Only thing we’re raising at the moment are kids and ducks.
I think John@thepier will get there before me...he may already have some? |

I have a suggestion. How about painting on the door a black square with arched top for the dog's doorway? If you feel real creative you could paint Spike the Bulldog napping. Hook a dummy chain to his color running to a stake. Not to get carried away with it or anything :lol: |

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Tim, are you wiping the tin with vinegar to age it faster?
|
Re: My Facetruck thread.
First to clean mill scale to prep for paint, but would like to see it age. Maybe I should try Muriatic, ey? :cool: It's so shiny I figure keep doing till the weather lets me paint. I bought a gallon jug, it's cheap. I would like to see it age and surface rust. I'd leave it like that. I wanted to find some old corrugated but wound up going to Lowe's. This stuff is so thin I didn't realize I was picking up two at a time when I bought it. The old stuff has more ridges

Most things these days aren't what they used to be Tim.

Vinegar will do the trick for paint prep. I'll do it again when ready to paint, rinse with water, then use a DTM primer. I'm going to change the color of the aluminum siding on my house and paint it with that color. House trim colors will stay the same. I got a plan man :cool:. Woodshed matches, too, so that gets the treatment as well.
