I reckon my joint runs light on the sq', too. I judge how large some houses I've worked on by how many of mine would fit inside :lol:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

My electric bill is never under $100 and I still get a 25% employee discount.

My wife doesn't seem to realize that the light switches have an off position and the hot tub doesn't have to run night and day.

WTH. If it makes her happy. I'll pay the bill. No need to argue.

Since its 34° and snowing I put the shower base in and new high r insulation on the exterior walls . The fiberglass insulation is just for noise suppression putting the cement board up tomorrow. Right now it's time for a few of these . 9.5 % alcohol 4 and I'm done

Thought this was interesting

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I also think that’s interesting. Risk was handled differently back then. I suppose if no one pulled out in front of him that probably turned out fine.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

There is no mention of the poor clutch. I wonder how many gears under he had to start out in.

The brakes are another thing. I'm not sure how the compressor would keep up with all those axles. He would have to use the pedal sparingly.

I'm going to guess the route was planned well.

Thanks for posting.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Well, "downhill" in Montana isn't like "downhill" in a lot of places. I expect that this publicity stunt had flaggers everywhere and may well have had someone walking in front of the truck in shifts. I can't imagine this truck making any kind of speed without someone pulling in front of him and causing serious mayhem.

what the hecks goin on down there??

Jacksonville man arrested 2nd time for impersonating police officer

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

KB there was a guy in West Covina doing exactly the same thing a few years ago. He would drive around on the 10 freeway and pull people over.

If I remember correctly. He even tried to tell the cops that he was a cop when they caught him.

And then he got to ride in a real police car. Instead of his fake one.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

That guy should stop eating doughnuts. He is rather rotund, and has some serious mental issues obviously.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I think this guy tops him.

120 cars is what ICC allows freight trains here! But so what? So he moved 120 trailers 100 meters in a straight line. What is the longest road train operated on public roads? That's all I care.

This might be the longest on the road, 6 trailers @ 200 ton 182' ore hauler. Stays under 40 mph, has a 14 litre @550 hp

I want to see the driver try to parallel park it.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Do you guys restore stuff? You know, just stuff. I always have gotten pleasure from taking a thing and giving it a freshen up. I use these screens in my small laundry room windows. I painted the room and added shelves, gave the room a thorough going over. So when it came time to open the windows I got to looking at those hardware store screens that have kept bugs out since '87 and thought, "I can make those look better". A couple minutes here, couple there, and I have freshened up screens... Whoopee!

A small thing but I need to do this. I haven't restored a vehicle in years and I miss it. Restoring a vehicle is a whole lot of small restoration projects roped into one. I've restored my vintage steel lawn furniture, the wood rockers and bench on the front porch, bird houses/feeders, and other small things around here lately. Just something to do with a little something to show for my time

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Nice work!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Washed the 77 . I hate to do it but I need to thin the herd . This and 68 are going this summer. Not money but I have 9 cars with hagerty ins. Just to much to keep up with when I posted the truck someone asked about the combo. Why is it I end up with unusual a Huskey 72 and a 77 with special two tone

Larry, I think Amazon is building a DC in central TN. They have several going IIRC. A girl that used to work here at FedEx works for them now. She called my brother about a job working for them, but he ended up taking another one.

Obviously he's adopted you! Now you need to eat bugs and worms and throw up for it......lol

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

That’s a visual that I didn’t need.:lol::lol:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I'll do quite a bit for my crew but not sure about the eating bugs part, the throwing up would be easy tho if I get past step 1 :lol:

thinking he'll just get his chicken feed every other Tuesday like the rest of us :)

this guy hung around the yard for about 6 months and just disappeared, we all miss him.. he would just walk in my office like he owned the place :lol:
