Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I have a cellar and garage to pour here, yet. And last pour I did I wished it was my last. About a 12' x 16' w/5'w x 6'l ramp under a lean-to roof (exc. ramp). A very hot sunny day. It was a lot for me to pull and float before it wanted to set. I had figured on the pour being shaded but the angle of the sun came in on it. No waiting around for that concrete to set. I couldn't get to the next step fast enough, worked me to death, the fastest slab I ever poured!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I'm a smoker and I would never throw a butt or any kind of trash in someone's yard or anywhere for that matter. That's littering. If I'm not near an ashtray then the butts go into my back pocket until I can dispose of them properly. It's called manners and I try to be as polite as possible with my bad habit.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
^^^ Yeah, I roped them all into one with my mindless habit comment. But I do know smokers who are responsible about it, which takes a conscious effort. A habit means impulsive action and disposing is part of that. I figure by filling your ashtray you are showing yourself how many you smoke. No one stops to think how many butts they tossed today. I appreciate a smoker who will ask if I mind they smoke one, or wait till we get somewhere to light one up.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Good find on the boat. Just don't drown.
I got out there in the shop and got started on trying to get dash and indicator lights going on the camaro. I had limited success as I got dash lights but the turn signals won't indicate on the dash. Im gonna get in there and figure it out.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Someone is lame all over. Not just that they can't tie something down right, either. Why not deflate, fold, and stash in the vehicle?? Who'da knew an inflated raft could catch wind and want to blow off. Probably tied on the roof of a car with one rope or maybe just laid in the back of a pickup. Walmart sells that brand. I have an Intex air mattress

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got tired of seeing how lazy I've been in my retirement by allowing these scotch broom bushes to grow up all over my property.
So I broke out the pruners, guzzled an energy drink, and headed out to do some serious clipping damage to those pesky weeds. Felt I was finally accomplishing something around here when I noticed that a good amount of flies started buzzing around my head. That's when I looked down and realized I was practically standing on an underground hornets nest! Immediately raced back inside, jumped in front of the air conditioner and cracked open a cold one. ...maybe next year. |

That gives me the chills because where you live looks a lot like where I live.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not that close to other people. Maybe fireworks by someone stupid? They tend to land far and wide. Good thing that it got knocked down quickly. One of my neighbors (who should never have possession of a firearm) went out and shot his .45 auto in the air on a 4th of July (before I moved there). A slug was discovered on a neighbor's roof when they were having a new roof installed. Later he was launching bottle rockets, when I did live there, and one landed on the same neighbor's roof. Good thing it was composition shingles instead of a shake roof, like original. That guy was the village idiot.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Moving away from there probably won't help, as you well know. We should form a conclave neighborhood where no cray-cray is allowed, and when they are ferreted out, they get evicted. Wait, that sounds like an HOA. Never mind. #can'twin

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Ancient and primal man discovered fire and learned how to manage it to benefit civilization.
Fast forward to today and so many people have no understanding of fire, how it works, how to keep it safe, or what to do when things go bad. They just know they can go buy a Bic at 7-11

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I live off a two lane highway. There's a reservoir about 10 miles away, and lots of people towing UTVs, so lots of trailers. The firemen and I suspect some idiot was dragging tow chains and caused it. We think that as there were a couple of spots where the fire started and came together.
Fortunately, I keep the area around the house as clear as I can. The fire departments that responded were really happy with the work I had done. They worked, but not nearly as hard as what they would have had I not kept the area cleared out. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Been some years ago during the extreme summer heat someone pulling a trailer down the split 4 lane was dragging a chain and as hot links were grinding off they landed in the grassy median starting fires as he went. That went on for about 40 miles. I called to report it and apparently I wasn't the first. The 911 operator was not happy!
