I knew he didn't really eat those cookies I made for him!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Tim, my wife was baking cookies when I got home.

I lost control.

I have eaten so many cookies I will have acne.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Yeah, that's how I feel.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Should feel better by now.

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive,double-pane, energy-efficient kind.

Today, I got a call from Home Depot who installed them. The caller complained that the work had been completed a year ago and I still hadn't paid for them.

So, I told him just what his sales guy told me last year--that these windows would pay for themselves in a year---

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

One thing I recently learned from Home Depot is their invitation for a satisfaction survey is a joke .I recently had a garage door replaced using Home Depot even though I knew better .It was a Cluster #l#ck from the beginning ,The Depot could not get my correct phone number to their contractor costing me 3 weeks on the installation schedule .Never again , So they emailed me a survey and because I gave them bad grades they rejected my survey .

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Home Depot is like Facetruck. No negative comments allowed. Only happy happy joy joy :five:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Speaking of happy happy joy joy...

We generally don't get a lot of snow, we are in a little bit of a rain-shadow for the normal storms, but when they come in from the south, watch out-that's the south side of the tree the snow is stuck to:

We ended up with about a foot altogether, and more coming tonight they say.

Man,
They don’t ask half as many questions

You apply for a California drivers licence

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I don't see a box for place of birth. :lol:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

We need to take that last question about the paved roads off our form since Arkansas has 6 times the paved roads per capita that California does. :lol::lol:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Of course they do!

How else would you guys be able to move people's homes
When you are building a new subdivision?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

True story.

My kids bought land in a very nice neighborhood outside town.

WE were out there one weekend laying out the house, shop, driveway, etc.

As we were leaving we met the neighbors and the lady asked if we were about to start building.

I said, "Yeah, they are going to deliver the house this week.". I went on nonchalantly with conversation and never mentioned it again.

Another neighbor told me later she told him what I said and she said "Do you think that man is serious?"

Apparently I scared her.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

When southern Florida resident Nathan Radlich's house was burglarized recently, thieves ignored his wide screen plasma TV, his VCR, and even left his Rolex watch.

What they did take, however, was a white box filled with a grayish-white powder.. (That's the way the police report described it.)

A spokesman for the Fort Lauderdale police said that it looked similar to high grade cocaine and they'd probably thought they'd hit the big time.

Later, Nathan stood in front of numerous TV cameras and pleaded with the burglars:*'Please return the cremated remains of my sister, Gertrude. She died three years ago.'

The next morning, the bullet-riddled corpse of a local drug dealer known as Hoochie Pevens was found on Nathan's doorstep. The white box was there too; about half of Gertrude's ashes remained.

Scotch taped to the box was this note which said: "Hoochie sold us the bogus blow so we wasted Hoochie. Sorry we snorted your sister. No hard feelings. Have a nice day."

Why Hoochie ? Why? :lol:

I actually met Matthau one time. Nice guy in real life.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

A young doctor was seeing an 80 year old woman for the first time.

He told her to bring a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her.

Looking through these, his eyes grew as he realized Grandma had a prescription for birth control pills.

"Mrs. Smith, do you realize these are birth control pills?"*

"Yes, they help me sleep at night."

"Mrs. Smith, I assure you -there is absolutely nothing in these that could possibly help you sleep!"

"Every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of orange juice that my 16-year-old granddaughter drinks. And believe me, it helps me sleep at night."

Sometimes those wide loads can be tough!
So did everything go well?
Moving the double wide in😀😀

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

They didn't listen to me and built this house instead.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Nice place, better looking than a double wide...neighbors relieved.

Truck looks good pulling the little track hoe!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Nice house, nice truck, nice tractor!

Best of all, nice humor.
Thanks for keeping us smiling...

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I will get a shot of his shop some time. That's the best part.

Yes the neighbor is happy.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

looks like ol blue is handling that mini-x pretty well...those things are heavier than you'd think...

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I pulled that trailer (or one like it) to El Dorado, KS to get a dump truck once. I was going to haul Blue back on the trailer. Dump Truck was misrepresented, so me and Blue took the long road home pulling an empty trailer.

By the way there are two new 11.00/22.5 truck tires and wheels under that trailer. I unloaded them, and backed the trailer over them in the motel parking lot.

Nope, they were still on the trailer when I took that picture.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I always X chain equipment.

A chain thrown straight across will the unit slide side to side.

It's a tough thing to get through peoples heads though.

There was a new crusher laying on it's side at the quarry south of town for a long time. The insurance companies were in a pissing contest.

Low Boy driver just threw a chain across the tracks. When he pulled into the quarry, the trailer leaned, and off went the crusher.

Speaking of lowboys Boog, I was at the salvage pool in Conway, and there was a new lowboy sitting there with a locomotive imprint in the side.

It seems the driver was routed through Walnut ridge, and the local cop didn't like the route, and demanded the low boy cross on 412 east. Of course he high centered on the rail road tracks. Last I heard they were still trying to sort that one out.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Is it a modular? :lol: I shouldn't laugh. Modulars started off being a notch above a double-wide. But in the '90s they started building full blown customs out of boxes arriving on trailers. The first ones (9) I worked on were in '95 in Potomac, MD, the very affluent area just up river from Washington,DC where multi-million homes are the norm.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

We did a lift station between the Arkansas River bridge on hwy 109 and the railroad tracks at Clarksville, AR.

I had loaded this excavator and started off the hill toward those tracks.

I told by buddy to hang on because we may "lay frame" when we hit hose tracks.

I just let it rip and got up enough speed, I figured I could skate the lowboy across the tracks.

I don't think it touched, but I had the speed for it anyway.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

nice rig other Larry. ..those drop neck trailers are nice but they'll get you in trouble quick....my buddy has been hung on several tracks with his...when it happens he just fires up the trailer pump and raises the trailer so he can get loose...by then usually every popo in town is there..after a few times of that if he knows hes going across town (rr in middle of town),,he just made some spacers that he sticks under the hitch brackets before he lets it back down..that gives him a few extra inches of clearance...(old truck drivers trick)...

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

It just dawned on me, Larry, all your trucks are usually red aren't they? I remember when you stopped by here you were on your way to OH for another red one.

If your blue and white one needs a new home....:)

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

The one we picked up when we came by your place has been on a job down in the Mississippi delta ever since we go it home.

Linda traded that Escalade for a new White Diamond colored Tahoe a while back Doug.

Variety is the spice of life Doug. Even if it is a variety of red trucks.

That old blue truck is just so dependable and nice to drive I never think about driving my late model.

The K10 I'm working on now is Ochre, so that should spice it up some.

This is the truck from Ohio.

I ordered a warm hat day before yesterday. Supposed to arrive tomorrow. It's cold.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

It's been a good day so far.I'm wondering who's going to screw it up....

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I'm glad you ordered the hat. I wish you had reminded me to order one.

Just so you get good use out of the hat, I'm sending plenty more cold weather that way.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Is this the sort of thing you speak of?

*A man was riding on a full bus, minding his own business, when the gorgeous woman next to him started to breast-feed her baby.

The baby wouldn't take it, so she said, "Come on, sweetie, eat it all up or I'll have to give it to this nice man next to us."

Five minutes later the baby was still not feeding, so she said, "Come on, honey. Take it or I'll give it to this nice man here."

A few minutes later the anxious man blurted out, "Come on, kid, make up your mind. I was supposed to get off four stops ago!"*************

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Is this the hat?
