Re: My Facetruck thread.
I know what you're saying, Duke. It's the 1% that give the lawmen the go ahead from the powers that be (or their own egos) to put the clamps on the fun. In OC, MD fun has always been against the law. It's a resort town and they make beaucoup bucks off of out of towners as soon as they get frisky. Then they come up with the cruise weekends before Memorial day and after labor day, traditional beginning and end of season to bring in more money. Then when people do what they do at such events they crack down. It may be people complaining... people who don't have enough sense to not go those weekends if they don't like loud cars and smokin' rubber. Now they have a special event (lower) speed limit throughout the town and if they can hear your exhaust from 50' they can give a ticket. I can hear most any car idling from 50'. I was surprised they ever allowed the event to happen. Well, now it seems they don't really want it. Maybe they need to start a quilt convention

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Quilts are good. Random grab for sake of comparison. Although they too can get right pesky with them needles, bits of cloth, thread and all. Never know what they might come up with for conversation. Solo quilting? Forget about it. They need to tie empty beer cans to their wrists so you know they're even there!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I have been reading back on this thread a bit. Pretty entertaining. Just one observation.. general discussion is a forum made for off topic general posts, like life, jokes etc? So isnt a facebookesk post in a general forum essentially a general discussion thread in a general discussion forum, instead of just posting daily?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
My mother made quilts. She has purged a bunch of them of them over the years when they moved and had auctions but she still has them stuffed in every place possible.
She has given one to every kid and grandkid and great grandkid. It's a little sad to see the younger ones abuse the quilts. I suspect one day they will wish they had taken better care of the quilts grannie made. My mother is doing well for a 91 year old that had a heart attack. The depression is causing her more problem than anything.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
We had a house full at my Mom's yesterday for an "ice cream social" as she and dad like to call it. A barbeque lunch and 3 gallons of home made ice cream. We don't hand crank them anymore but it is still as good as ever.

When I come down do I need to bring my Chevyland hat so we can go out to lunch? The weather was rotten here. I went out back and pulled a couple of core supports for powder coating and then it started raining so I went in and did body work on the K10 bed for awhile.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Oh man. When I was a kid the hand crank freezers were all there was. We would buy block ice and chip it ourselves then take turns cranking on it. I'm told you can still buy a hand crank one but who'd want one, ya know.
It started raining here while we were making ic but we were inside the garage. Haha, yeah on our hats. ![]() My mom also made a lot of quilts over the years. I have a few. Her last one was made of patterns my grandmother had made as well as my mom's.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
This talk of quilts hits home around here. My wife's mother was a quilter before her eyesight got too bad (she's 91). She also had quilts stored everywhere. My wife makes quilts and gives most of them away to her friend's grandchildren, or to other friends. She's the "third grandmother", since my sons have as yet not seen fit to spawn. We have quilts for the seasons, quilts for no reasons, quilts everywhere.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I got a laugh out of that one. Our fourth grandchild is in the oven.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I started out in fields... snuck out on the road some, too. My grand daughter is 13, too. My grandson (3) and daughter came up today and we went for a pumpkin to carve. Took a wagon ride around the farm where I buy produce. They gave a hay ride around the farm

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Three sets of extreme bends on Ebay right now. I bought my 72 Cheyenne new for less than the total of those three sets.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I didn't expect a hay ride. No big occasion, just run out to Knill's farm and let Gus pick a pumpkin... already brought in from the field at the produce market, which is back on the farm. They always have a pair of goats penned and some chickens there, too, just for the kids. Never noticed the play box. They said it needed more corn. Seemed just nice for 'working it'.
The main lane in off the state hwy is also the entrance to a church next door. You come to a closed gate and hook left onto their lane. I knew the town uses the lan straight back behind the gate to access a water or sewage treatment facility or related thing. But the wagon ride went down there (part way) and I came to realize it's an old RR grade. Mt. Airy came to be as a whistle stop originally when the train (original B&O mainline) had to cross Parr's Ridge. I asked Mr. Knill about it and he said this grade was put in while they built the new tunnel in line with the original right of way. Shoot a straight line across the state rd over the ridge into town and you come to the freight depot on Main St. where the track crosses. Just learned another big thing about the area history all these people moving here have no clue about. People don't even know there is a tunnel, a long for the east tunnel. I've been told it is the longest tunnel east of the Mississippi. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...PaNAWBU-ecnpbK

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Tim, your hayride pictures are the stuff memories are made of. That boy will be somewhere 40 years from now and see a wagon and think of that day.
