He'll be pulling up the big ones before you know it. I can't wait to fish with my grandson the first time.

**Dustmaker65** · 03-16-2018, 08:19 PM

Need some knowledge from the knowledgees....

Have a buddy that wants 19.5" 8 lug rims for a project. Only thing I can find that had them was a '66 Custom Camper Special. So am I going to be looking for rims that are very hard to find or somewhat common?

Thanks fellas!

**davischevy** · 03-16-2018, 09:02 PM

BTW, your book was dissing Springfield Missouri also. Springfield Missouri is one of the places I would live if I didn't live here.I

And then again, I could be the only one that's not crazy

**special-K** · 03-17-2018, 07:51 AM

I remember mom ordering me, "Make sure you get behind your ears". I always wondered why that was so much more important to her than other behind places she never mentioned.

Killer Bee · 03-17-2018, 04:03 PM

I knew it! just hoped no one would notice.. it was late after work, it was getting cold, my pant legs and boots were soaked so I had to call it.. I think the little stuff left will clean up easy enough in the driveway.. good news is that it's in great shape! no road scars, all machined surfaces are sharp and flat, no dents in the cover, tubes, backplates, etc..

and that's a good point, why didn't mom ever mention the unmentionable places? I mean, isn't that mom's job? have to ask Mrs. Bee when they get home..

sooo, ran into my neighbor at the pub after work the other night and gave him a lift home.. and he gave me some of the most tasty avocados I've had in a while..

one good thing about CA besides the weather I guess

**Boog** · 03-17-2018, 08:45 PM

Moms. They said to “be sure and put on clean underwear when you are going out. You never know when you will be in an accident.”

If you are in an accident theres a good chance your underwear will be “dirty’d up” anyway!

Killer Bee · 03-17-2018, 11:20 PM

well, here's a pro tip for the dads out there.. tired of all the bird poop on your kids swing seats?

add an extra carbiner to one side of the chain to hang the swing seats up vertically when not in use..

**special-K** · 03-18-2018, 09:30 AM

Ahhh-vocados, yes such fine memories. Margie was her name and her dad was an avocado rancher. But that was long ago and I still look forward to the avocados when I go to CA.

I'm sure she knew she'd have been getting indications if we hadn't been getting behind there

**special-K** · 03-18-2018, 04:38 PM

Very interesting...and scientific

How are you doin' Dale?

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-19-2018, 09:37 PM

I had a bad end of the week and weekend. But feeling a little better now. Hopefully no more fevers, I don't want to go back to the hospital. That place is bad for my demeanor. ...lol

**davischevy** · 03-19-2018, 09:46 PM

Yeah, us old guys don't need anybody messing with our demeanor.

**special-K** · 03-20-2018, 04:44 PM

These guys were messing with my demeanor in a good way. Really brought my spirits up watching this cartoon episode at the end of Spring Carlisle '10. These were my neighbors through the show. Not next door, but I was set up where I took the pictures from. I couldn't believe they were even considering this load job. They tried pretty hard. The one guy pried up on the rollback's running boards to clear the trailer fenders. They were forced to aboard when the ramps on the trailer had so much weight on them they wouldn't budge. That rollback was barely on that tail and it had the pickup on it hanging even farther back. Can anyone else see the problems with this load?

Killer Bee · 03-20-2018, 05:34 PM

at a glance, if that rollback was landed level on the gooseneck, the p/u on top might be over height limit and possibly overweight for truck/trailer ratings..

but I've seen a lot of sketchy looking stuff all highway legal within equipment weight ratings..

either way, amusing to watch I'm sure

harpo231 · 03-20-2018, 07:02 PM

Holy Hangover Batman !

**davischevy** · 03-20-2018, 08:33 PM

I'm surprised the rear wheels on the dually are still on the ground.

Killer Bee · 03-20-2018, 08:45 PM

lol, you guys are right about that.. scooted the picture around my phone and that is indeed a sticky wicket.. one good pass over the tracks and take-off!

**special-K** · 03-20-2018, 07:01 PM

That whole pickup is behind the trailer wheels. I think the tow vehicle's rear is being lifted by all the trailer tail weight. I'd hate to see the wag on that thing on the hiway at speed...if this load was physically possible, which it wasn't. It was very entertaining to watch

**special-K** · 03-21-2018, 07:35 AM

I think a Ford Ranger could do just as well as that F350 considering the zero tongue weight (and the fact that haul had reached it's end before it started).

I'm chuckling now at a neighbor. We have about 8" of snow and he's clearing it with his new little Kubota with a front end loader... without removing the mower deck!! The bucket is narrower than the deck. Aren't these new lawn tractors designed for the decks to be easy on and off? Maybe not, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone plow with the mower deck in place before.

**68bowtie** · 03-31-2018, 01:30 AM

I was following this guy today, having a hard time reading the tiny emblem... lol!

Pretty ridiculous to have the instructions in such large letters. I'm surprised no one has taken him up on that.

If there were an accident could the "ramee" tell the judge "I was just following instructions"?

**davischevy** · 03-31-2018, 10:30 AM

We had a new Chevrolet company truck rammed last week down in the delta.

The truck was parked in the yard at a house next to Main Street. A guy ran off the street, up through the yard and underneath the rear of the truck.

He produced an insurance card, but of course it turned out to be cancelled.
