    Friend broke his plow today. Asked if I could fix it. Fun little project for the minions. Remember, tech programs always need projects. This will be repaired as well as any shop for 1/3 the cost (or less.) Real life projects are priceless... Also a plug for the flatbed-try that with a box on there.

    That's not cool.
    Hopefully they got it all.
    Did they have to graft some skin from your bum to slap on your head?

    Waiting for the results. No skin graft is needed.
    And I would never admit to this crew if I had skin taken from my butt and put on head.
    The campfire jokes would never end.:rofl:

    The box is handy for other hauling jobs. This was well over 1,000 lbs!

    It sure rode squishy.

    Since I’ve been hemorrhaging money lately I thought maybe new/used wheels!
    My wife gave me the “aren’t you going to Vegas again”, speech.

    Anyway I saw these and since this is the BAD financial advice page, I’d leave it here. IMG_4501.jpg


    So sorry @Taco-Grinder !


    I usually say it was harvested from my thigh.
    1998 house fire and had skin peeled off my thigh with basically a cheese slicer. Layers on hand, arms, legs, and the worst spot, top of my feet. During rehabilitation I felt horrible for the 4-5 year old kids with ears or even one kid with the entire side of his face burnt.
    Before surgery they had me sit in a Jet tub removing burnt skin. I swear to you, the most painful experience of my life.

    The skin graft on my hand sticks out. The mesh underneath is still visible today.
    IMG_4503.jpg
    Still so lucky to be here today. The little volunteer fire department where I lived in rural Michigan is the only reason I’m still here.
