Re: My Facetruck thread.
Yep! He was wondering what the tires (bumpers) were there for. It was just us two down in the sub. I explained each thing and he listened intently. We went to the National Aquarium... where he explained everything to me! My daughter has a membership so they take people there often. Free with membership! Then we went to the Baltimore Museum of Industry across the harbor. Pretty neat stuff.

You know it, Larry! And I know the time you spend with yours is just as precious to you.

![]() Great videos. Thanks for sharing some real stuff. I'll show him when I see him. When we were outside that museum around that junk sculpture and throwing stones in the water two Maryland DNR officers pulled up and were carrying their gear out to the dock to go out on evening patrol of the harbor area. I asked, "You guys going out?", to get their attention and all that turned to Gus. "Hey Buddy. We'll turn the lights on for you". They hit the lights and gave the siren a quick "BooWHIP!", brought the laundry in ![]()

Re: My Facetruck thread.
What's UP
This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v]. It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car. At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, the earth soaks it UP. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now . . . my time is UP! Oh . . . one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night? U P ! Did that one crack you UP? Don't screw UP. Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book . . .. or not . . . it's UP to you. Now I'll shut UP!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I truly did alright. Every minute with Gus is a special moment. It takes a lot to get me into a city environment any more. I'm a stranger in a strange land!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Monday I finished my radiation treatments. Now it's wait 5 weeks and see how the tests come out. I'm hoping it's gone but we'll see. They gave me my mask that held me to th table. I think I'll hang in my pool room/bar at my cabin.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
What’s up?...
A line perpendicular to the plain of the circumference of the earth. But never ask a carpet layer “what’s up” you ask him, “what’s going down”. If he says...”fuzzy side up” you can probably walk on his reputation. |

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I have a friend named Downs. I could have a lot of fun using him as a subject. "What's UP Downs?"
It's ok to say screw UP. "Man, things are messed UP down there." "If it was UP to me I'd go down there and stir things UP" "Yo, I'm down with going done there to get to the bottom of what's UP"

Re: My Facetruck thread.
“I get up, nothing gets me down” that’s the first thing that came to my mind.
I’m no good at the linky magic trick or I would’ve posted Van Halen’s “Jump” |

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I was at a parts store looking for auto trans fluid, which I'm in the habit of calling Dextron. I didn't see any and was walking up and down the isle wondering if I really was blind. One of the employees asks what I was looking for. I told him Dextron and he had a puzzled look on his face. So I said ATF... still puzzled. I spelled it out. "Automatic Transmission Fluid" and it seemed to sink in. They were out of it.
This morning at Lowe's over the intercom they kept saying, "Will the owner of the grey Chevrolet Silverado with a snow plow parked out front please come to the customer service desk?". They announced it three or four times. I go outside after my purchase and sitting parked on the yellow stripes out front (A-hole) was a dark blue with grey lower F250 with a snow plow. I could picture that owner walking around the store thinking, "What's up with that Silverado owner, is he deaf??" ![]()

Re: My Facetruck thread.
howdy Larry! just read your Kubota comments in the retirement thread and it made me smile
![]() figured I'd share my family's Kubota tractor experience here.. my folks [Mom mostly] started a commercial lawn mowing business when I was in high school in the 80's started off with a Kubota 6200, trailer dad built, some commercial lawnboys and stihl trimmers.. several apartment complexes and a motel on I-70 kept us busy in the summers.. folks made enough money to pay for everything and some and pay their son handsomely ![]() I had more of my own money in school than most and all earned in salary.. profits later bought an 8200, some zero turns, etc. all still running around the farm today.. dad was a huge fan of those little machines, they ran great with very little down time.. hard working machines along with hard working operators almost always equals success at some level.. here's a zero turn deck I rebuilt for my mom couple of summer vacations ago, saved her over a $1k and replaced more parts than dealer quoted.. actually saved her more, I wouldn't let her pay for the parts I bought either ![]() stripped gears in the pto miter box ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
