Re: My Facetruck thread.
Two guys were trying to get in a quick eighteen holes, but there
are two terrible lady golfers in front of them hitting the ball everywhere but where it's supposed to go. The first guy says, "Why don't you go over and ask if we play through?" The second guy gets about halfway there and comes back. The first guy says, "What's wrong?" He says, "One of them is my wife, and the other one is my mistress." The first guy says, "That could be a problem. I'll go over." He gets about halfway there and comes back. The second guy says, "What's wrong?" The first guy says, "Small world."

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Yeah, looks like we'd have been some double trouble put together as kids. One of my friends had a chemistry set, so we set about making sulfuric acid. We were young enough that going in and buying a box of battery acid wasn't going to happen, even if we had had that kind of money. My friend was boiling the water off a batch of acid we made to make it stronger, swirling it over the alcohol burner, and spilled it on his hand. Hot sulfuric acid! His mom was a nurse and pretty P.O'd about it!
![]() As a result of my inquisitiveness as a youth, I watched mine like a hawk. They still pulled stunts like taping model rocket motors to Hot Wheels cars and sending them down the hallway into my bedroom. Total distance of about 40 feet, and rocket smoke everywhere! Middle of summer, and I had to open all the windows to get the smoke out, because the smoke is toxic. This is obviously just an ice cube on the tip of a gigantic iceberg...good times!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Small world!
![]() Someone say Tonkas? My boys grew up catching crawdads, frogs, turtles, and raising tadpoles. I had swings from the trees, built tree forts, a 10 x 12 sandbox out of 2 x 12 with close to 2' of sand. My older son and his friend made battle axes, clubs, other weapons, and armor out of wood wrapped with foam and duct tape and commenced to beating the crap out of each other for weeks. But they survived anyway ![]() My youngest before the sandbox. That was sand for laying brick on the place My grandson: Me showing my sister how her firetruck works

Sorry Killer Bee, but I'm going over to Tim's and play with Tonka's.
That's quite an impressive collection Tim.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I think that was the first time out with them. I'd pick one to pack up then decide it was a keeper... over and over. Then I figured you have to bring the good stuff and let the buyers sort that out. I regret many (about all) that sold and am happy many didn't. I've sold enough off that it's getting hard to chose what to sell. I really enjoyed having them all out for ME to look at. My little museum. I might bring a few to Spring and Fall shows at Carlisle, but have gotten tired of low-ballers...mostly ones who want to turn around and put on Ebay. I tell them "If anybody's going to make money off of these it's going to be me. I didn't start buying these in the '80s for you to make the money". I take a few pieces to Hershey and get my money. It's been a fun experience. Looking at that picture I see many regrets, but at least I still have them in pictures. I'm a bit passionate about trucks. Kinda like Richard's buddy with his Old Chevy picture

Re: My Facetruck thread.
A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up
and saw a very beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat. Lo and behold, she took the seat right beside his. Eager to strike up a conversation, he blurted out, "Business trip or vacation?" She smiled and said, "Business. I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniac Convention in Chicago." He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs! Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?" "Lecturer," she responded. "I use my experience to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality." "Really, " he said, "what myths are those?" "Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that American men are the most well endowed when, in fact, it's the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that French men are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Jewish descent. We have, however, found that the best potential lover in all categories is the Southern Red Neck." Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said, "I shouldn't really be discussing this with you. I don't even know your name." "Tonto," the man said, "Tonto Goldstein. But my friends call me Bubba.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
My mother is 91, still lives by herself most of the time and gets around well for her age up until now.
Wednesday, she called at 1:34 AM and said she was hurting. I got her to the emergency room and she was in fact having a heart attack. She seems to be doing very well considering her age and the event. I'm afraid her days of living by herself are over. We just got her home and now we are in wait and see mode to see what we do next. Luckily she has a big support group, so the duties get spread out. I sympathize with people that only have one or two people to care for a loved one.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Same here. She did well to stay independent this long. My mom is 88 and living on her own. She has developed PAD (peripheral arterial disease) in her lower legs recently and now can only walk but so far. Like she can't walk the block to the grocery store. But fortunately she lives in 'the' apartment building (mostly elderly) in the little town she was born and raised in and is like the town elder. Very well supported by most anyone in town. I am very fortunate for that. I have a room for her whenever she so chooses. Could very well come to that, but I doubt it will become necessary. I just hope to have her around a while yet. Hard to imagine what life will be like once she is no more.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I certainly know what you are going through Larry. My mom is 87, had a heart attack one monday night 2 months ago. The doctors said she is not a candidate for stints and she has refused open heart surgery. They said she probably wouldn't make it off the operating table anyway. She is spending her last days at home with hospice care coming in every other day along with our family tending to her needs. We lost dad in 2017. He spent his last days at home. Mom is ready to go and is doing the same. There are likely some hard days ahead. Stay strong my friend.

Thought of special K today- his construction company is (or was) called Clearwater construction. I see he’s going into the lumber business now too.

Tow hooks. I was an original tow hook fool. Had a running listing in Pickups & Panels In Print for K/20 hubcaps and tow hooks back into the '80s. But I'm not greedy or stupid, so that puts me out of the race. I would only pay stupid money for hooks if a truck was missing them, has them on the SPID, and was restoring to pure original. Same with any part that is over priced. Where I'm coming from is where those are the only reasons to pay stupid money. I bought my first K/20 for $2k. I guess it would be worth $3k now since it was a numbers matching tow hook truck. How about a pair of doors for $1,200? Don't worry, those guys are only here for the parts board. Never waste time on this social BS.
