Re: My Facetruck thread.
Gummit cheese samiches. Grew up on them and SS. Got my first job shining shoes at a Barber shop. Not many kids willing to do that these days.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
ya, sorry fellas, no hard luck stories from me either.. raised on a working farm..
folks didn't have a lot of cash but we were never for want of anything we needed ![]() endless list of chores I grew up on, and doing my best to impress upon my kids to work hard at their endeavors.. I left home for basic two weeks after graduating high school with my dads rusty old cutlass worth maybe $500 when he gave it to me at 16yo through chores earnings, I had 6mos of fuel from the tanks and their insurance.. after that, all on my own to where I am today, homeowner in OC CA and debt free for several years ![]() ![]()

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Been a few years since I have fished for trout. My dad and I used to go fly fishing a couple times a year. Still have out rods!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
That is great Larry! I love it when I can get my son to go fishing with me.
If I don't catch any lunkers this Sunday, I may head down your way to have your grandson take me fishing.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
His Great-Grandpa used to be a guide on White River, Bull Shoals lake.
The kids spend a lot of time on the lake in the summer. We are building a campground for the Corps of Engineers on Bull Shoals Lake and the kids were going over to check on the job that Saturday. My son in law said he happened to think about the fishing on the way over and stopped at Wal-Mart and got the rod. Davis (My grandson) had a ball. His mom had to take a picture of every fish.

One of my favorite old films is The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'hara.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I have a Lake Fork picture somewhere. I guess on my computer at the shop.
We are looking at motorhomes. I told my brother in law, the fisherman, the other day, we needed to run down to Lake Fork when I get the purchase done.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I have been going down there since it opened in early 80's. Have a lot of good memories from fishing there!
My dad and I bought a cabin in '00 after they had a big bass kill off there. Wish we could of bought a couple more now.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
All the trucks got bought up by people who don't need them, leaving some poor unfortunate folks no choice but to find alternatives.
Trucks are used for just hauling people causing SUVs being used for 5th wheeling, cars being converted to haul horses, and what trucks are left for work are being pressed into service long past their practical limits

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I know!
![]() Was that transporter in the hijack thread? Hard to say. Facebook hijack, what's the difference? Here are both. This first shot after careful chain-link alignment and the second corrected one with extra care given to alignment.
