Morning! trip to mountains got rained out. i dont do chain saw work in a ladder stand in the rain anymore!! Have a good day

 

The thought did cross my mind

 

at least he had insurance. speed shop on my road run rollbacks said out of last 20 cars he picked up only 3 had insurance!! and the two cars that crashed into our little country store i posted couple weeks ago. neither had insurance so store owner is stuck. ratbastards need it taken out of their hide.

 

morning. cougars? YES.

 

3 cans does the entire frame+ and the coating lasts well over a year. Gives it a waxy coating.

 

Geeezzzz! I've had better mornings. Oh well. Rain moving in. LOTS of rain. TV weatherguessers say as much as 4" today.

 

Yuma is putting in traffic circles now. I think we have 4 now. 3 and 4 are right down the street from work and get pretty busy during winter harvest season with produce trucks going to some of the cooling houses. 4 isn't quite done yet but will be interesting when it is. Both 3 and 4 are on either side of a freeway overpass and both have freeway entrances and exits. I have noticed, with 3 anyway, that traffic does pretty much keep moving. 4 is going to be fun with morning commuters, school buses and produce trucks when it finally gets finished.

 

Yeah the likelihood of similar incidents just goes up with the population density and apparently low average intelligence of said population around here. I equipped our car and truck with dashboard cams to at least help in an accident that turns into one of those "he said, she said" type situations - which we have had before. Fortunately, we haven't had to deal with one of those lately; I did have a very close call that I got on video though in February. If I would've been a second faster, there's a chance I wouldn't be chatting with you fine folks right now...

No doubt. Most can't drive in a straight line. This winter is going to be a little exciting with #4 almost done. It wasn't even there last winter so neither the seasonal ag workers or the snowbirds know it's there. The good thing is I can avoid it if I want and I usually do if it's too late in the morning. That road leads to a main road for a big housing area and a bunch of schools and a college or 2. So if you hit it wrong that stretch is full of buses and commuters mixed in with normal traffic...another reason I go to work early and avoid all that.

 

Morning all

And you expect the song to fade out, hear the clunk and fade back in. I kinda miss that.

Welcome and pull up a seat. Have a 2nd beer for us.

I just assumed the answer was 'Kevin'

I feel that train a comin', a coming round the bend, and it ain't seen the sunshine, since I don't know when... '

mornin Blue, that's a lot of rain. Time to hang out on the porch

Mythbusters did a good show on circles vs 4 way stops.

 

Those entitled asshats sure make my day as well, in our area some of the asshattery can be attributed to foreigners that drive like they do in their home country. The rest of em are bunch of self important assclowns that have an O’well f everybody who doesn’t recognize my importance attitude.

 

I can't think of a better description of driving in this fine sanctuary city of ours.

I know the grass is always greener, etc., but it seems whenever we go to another city (in the midwest at least), driving is so much less aggravating. We drive to Indy a lot for weekend trips and I always say for the first half day or so, I'm the biggest a$$hole in town. That is, until I sort of absorb the local level of courtesy, and start doing things like, you know, actually stopping at stop signs, waiting my turn at 4 way stops, letting others merge, driving close to the speed limit, stuff like that.

 

Well, a bit about me.
Gearhead since as far back as I can remember.
Grumpy and sarcastic old fart.
Would go camping every weekend if I could.
Cancer patient.
Trying to live life to the fullest.
Hope to make some new friends here.
Now on to answering the questions for the test...

1. What condiments do you prefer for your hot dogs? Think carefully!... Mustard
2. What snack cakes Little Debbie’s, Hostess or Drake?!.... Little Debbies
3. What is your preferred hardware for removing the younglings from the lawn?... Sit on the porch with my 12 guage on my lap.
4. Dog or Cat? This is not a question about what is on the dinner menu!.... Dog but unfortunately the wife has two cats!
5. Goat Porn?.... Pass
6. Coffee or Tea? Those are your only choices!... Coffee
7. Bacon.... Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, cant go wrong with Bacon with any meal!

 

That shit is "normal" in this area as well.

 

One thing I've noticed, even before the traffic circles, the folks that are on the streets early in the mornings do so to avoid all the bs so we are usually the most courteous drivers because we want the other vehicles to know what we're doing. Lots of turn signals, letting other guys go who are a little more commited into a turn, a lot of understanding that heavy vehicles don't do anything fast, watch the vehicle lights because not all trailer lights work, a little extra following distance...after 0615 it turns into a zoo and none of that applies.

 

To the new guys: welcome to the best thread on the TW. Jump right in.

Frame and floor sprayed. Nothing like inhaling petroleum distillate and paraffins!
