yes, i've seen the hearse. I'm pretty certain it belongs to barrington stage company, hence the crazy paint.

 

I say we start a conversation about the Pittsfield "crazies" for lack of a better word(maybe you guys can suggest one?). The guys you see on the street every day and you just know your in pittsfield. I'll start, the umbrella man! The guy who walks/bikes around everywhere, commonly with a colorful umbrella, waving to people, hanging off tree limbs, he has even danced in the road when I let him cross once. At my work he is known as the pigeon man. A coworker told me he once saw him in front of the common holding up his arms and the pigeons flocked to him.

 

I have not seen this. Will have to keep a look out.

 

Have not seen umbrella man.
How about The running man. He is everywhere. I always beep and wave.
Guy is of retirement age and runs everywhere.

 

Oh man. I really would love to do this one.
When are you going to be working on this? I would love to help/watch/whatever.

 

@DCSBFTMFW There ya go. I did it again.
Just for you.

 

Thats Sal. He's pretty nice. Always has a joke to tell. He told me he once ran up to becket near the highest point on the highway. He said he just goes up there to get "high". And I tell him his feet have more miles than most peoples cars.

 

Awesome!

Fact or fiction......JT wrote his song about him.

 

What was the name of that song?

edit: Walking Man!

 

I avoid North St. whenever possible.

Not sure yet. There's a heated mirror kit thread on here and Jaimes sold me his prototype wiring harness before he started selling to everyone. So I have that but still need to get the switch and actual mirrors. Definitely before winter.

Getting my leaf springs to stop making awful noises is the higher priority at the moment.

 

My mom knew him growing up. Just saw him in Dalton a half hour ago.

 

@DrFunker just spotted you leaving Berkshire Crossing. I was headed down Hubbard Ave toward Rt 8. Good looking truck!

 

haha. Yup he sure frequents that area.

 

Damn. I've been trying to spot Funker for months

 

Thought that was you! I said that to myself right after you went by.


Yours too.

 

Think I may have seen you too today, no?
After the truck passed I forgot to look for the sliders.

 

@js312 Were you heading in to work?

 

No. Just running a few errands. I only work weekends when I feel like going in to catch up on things. After this week, that's not happening!

 

i was only on the road this morning at 8:30, and then again just now.

 

Guess it wasn't you.
