Saved Another Box

[stllookn]

ETsC10 was not really going to send this to crusher...Powerbench drove down from Surrey, BC to pick it up so we got together for coffee and bagels thanks to ETsC10! Fun little get together on a Sunday morning.

First pic...Da trucks. Sillyoldman, stllookn, ETsC10 and Livrat.

Second pic...Loading the bed. Powerbench Sr., Powerbench, Livrat, ETsC10 and Sillyoldman.

Third pic...The only guys working. Powerbench and his dad...Sillyoldman supervising...LOL!

Great to meet some new members, even though they are "Frostbacks".

I wanted it but couldn't figure out how I was going to get it . A little too long of a road trip for me right now . Glad to see you got it . Bob

[ETsC10]

Yup, great way to begin the summer truckin' season...meeting new folks and seeing my established friends once again!
Thanks guys for helping welcome Powerbench (Rick) and his dad...and...thanks Rick for giving us an excuse for a mini-meet!

Frostbacks... box is home , no more tickets....

[Longhorn Man]

no MORE tickets??? :O
Looks like it was a good time... but why is everyone wearing jackets and stuff?

[stllookn]

It was supposed to be 70 here today but the sun did not come out until about 1:00PM! I had cardboard Andy in the Longhorn but forgot to bring him out for the pic...LOL!

[powerbench]

yes longhorn , i got to find out that travelling in the fast lane with a trailer is an offence....oh well...i guess he could have wrote me up for speeding...lesson learned..

[Longhorn Man]

I think they should cut some slack to people from out of state on some of the stupid laws like that.
Thats just retarded. Unless you were holdin up traffic, or unable to maintain the speed limit, then why can't you go there... other than "becouse we say so"?
I guess every state has a long list of retaded laws.
Hope it's a cheap one.

In Pennsylvania you can't drive in the left lane unless you are passing. And the State boys decide WHEN you are passing.

I found this out the hard way. And after a short discussion with several troopers with less than friendly attitudes i was cordially escorted out of Pennsylvania the remaining 24 miles.

I dont even have time for the whole story here..............

[Sillyoldman]

Yep. I was supervising. Heck even leisure time can be put on a resume. I was LMAO when I saw "Cardboard Andy". Anyone notice this. I was supervising but out of all the hands you can see how many of them are in pockets? It is cold. I left there only to go see livrats shop. All I can say is "WHOA". And yes I think the traffic citation bothered me as much as it did powerdriver.They'd never write them tickets closer to Seattle where people may know better or deserve them.

[ETsC10]

Don, write it down as casual labor---(very casual)
And, ya, Livrat's stash would make any truck lover go into shock!

Rick, I really do think you should write the courts on the ticket.
Not only were you from out of state--but, from out of country.
You can't be expected to know WA laws to be a licensed BC driver.

Give it a shot...couldn't hurt.

Any forensic expert worth their weight in beans could find my DNA and prints on the pair of pliars and on the bed too. Or did you wipe them down?

As far as the stash... Double whoa!, without being too specific

[powerbench]

I don't for see any actions being taken on the ticket, but i'am going to add a letter with my cheque... calmly written , explaining that with the money they collect for that type of fine ,it might be nice to put some signs up that explain it is a violation.When i got home i realized i didn't even check out everyones trucks....now i have an excuss to drive back down...maybe in my truck..i hope...

As for the ticket, for sure a good idea. The cop could have been smarter...and kinder.
Maybe you should also direct your note to the appropriate courts. If you need help, PM me.

And Dude! Join us at the Monroe Swap Meet mid-may!
This is generally the big one for PNW meets.

If you can't make that, there's plenty of summer get-togethers
and, I'm sure, all of the PNW members would be tickled to have you as an honorary member!
Keep a look out in the NW region threads for local happenings.

Great to meet you and your dad.
And, rest assured there's tons more more members down here that would welcome your company!

In Arizona...you cant let a donkey sleep in your bath tub.

[powerbench]

If i can muster up the time (construction is still pretty busy here) i will at least hop on my scooter and make a run across the border....that reminds me pasport...got to get one soon...iam going to head to my brother inlaws tomorrow and start working on the box..get it stripped down and start cleaning it up...
