Re: My Facetruck thread.

I remember talking to guys about my marriage issues and they all would say, "Cheaper to keep 'er". And I'd say, "Not mine!". The only reason divorce cost me so much was because of "her" crazy debt that was "ours" and we refinanced the house to pay it off. So I'm still paying off her debt. I'm sure she's still a financial idiot.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Now this is what FaceTruck was created for.

If we could just get somebody to complain about a local restaurant, or tell us to be on the watch because a black truck drove by their house twice today.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

71CHEVYSHORTBED402, I have been sitting here thinking about how to, or whether to respond.

I have no experience and don't want any with the big D, but I have observed plenty.

It appears to me from those observations that the faster you can get it over with the better.

I wish you well.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

My hat day is hitchhiking cross-country because I was too cheap to buy it a plane ticket. It had made it to IA last night around 11:30. It's been on the road from WA since Wed.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Here's some Face truck drama
Wednesday morning trailer hooked up on my way to pickup a '62 C30. 15 miles down the road my gallbladder shot craps. Did a u turn dropped off the trailer at home and headed to the people garage where they proceeded to pull it. Now I'm sitting here trying to stuff down a spoon full of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. No appetite at all, sore tummy, dizzy light headed from not eating hardly anything and worst of all I still have a '62 C30 out there that needs picking up in the now single digit weather.

Some people will do anything to stay by the fire.

I Hope you heal quickly.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Hey Jeffh, thanks for stealing my hat day thunder with your silly gal bladder problem. Everything isn't always about you, you know! ()

I can almost feel for you. I went through a gal bladder attack with my ex-wife. I know it's an awful thing. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Won't have to worry about that one any more.

But anyway, back to my hat day. It still isn't here. It was in OH at lunch time. Musta rode through the night. I tell you what, it'll be 9 degrees New Years Eve. Keeping my head warm has gotten to be old hat.

Good point. It has to be right cold out before I'll put one on. And it's right cold right about now (outside).

I wondered into some good old live Marshall Tucker

Re: My Facetruck thread.

My hat day must like OH. It was still there but in another town 14 hours later. Either that or it's stuck out on the hiway with a frozen thumb. Then again, it could be it got a ride from a fine female which led to other things. Like that time I was hitch hiking through Nevada when that gal from Tuscon who was headed to Eugene picked me up.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Clearing a new driveway and Log cabin home site West of Knoxville after being late or early to meet the utilities guys I finally noticed that at the bottom of the driveway my cell phone showed central time and at the top of the driveway it shows eastern time This is MY version of living in a gated neighborhood !
