    in sixth grade I started a snowball fight with the garbage truck guys (the ones who used to hang on the back and empty the cans. Young and dumb. They had a stash of ice balls interlaced with gravel. They also must have been D-1 baseball dropouts as they did not miss and I got the everliving shit blasted out of me

    I'm quite familiar with the ice balls, but the added gravel takes it to a new level!

    Revise the bed a bit and you can convert it into a real tow truck.

    After shoveling at 2:30, I went out and blew the driveway again at 8:30. Still got a dusting overnight, total of around 5".

    Well, I said if my truck was ever in the Calendar, I'd buy one.

    Mark me down for 2 if possible.
    1 for the garage.
    1 for work because I think it would be great to have a calendar hanging by my work station that wasn't leftover from something printed here. :rofl:

    Funny how that works.

    I've been a little pressed for time, recently, and when I'm not....It's cold and the truck is dripping with melting snow.....
    Not exactly the conditions I want to be crawling around under it in.

    Hey, being a printer, how can that be worse than being covered with ink? :boink:

    Someone's paying me to get covered in ink. ;)

    Today was more of a grease and paper dust day crawling around in the bottom doors of this folder.

    Took 2 hours to replace 1 belt that broke. It was threaded up/underneath and out the front.
    Had to rethread it all by hand around allll those pulleys.:annoyed:20200903_074231_optimized.jpg
    Normally when I change them I tape the new one to the old and pull it through.
