    Just pulled around back to load and pulled next to this guy.

    I got out to tell him and see if he wanted some hub oil. He said no, he noticed it this morning and he would take care of it tonight when he got the chance. I said OK and walked away. Anybody wanna take a guess at his nationality.......lol.
    I'm guessing Russian from the accent. Gotta love stereotypes. :D

    That would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous. That seal has been off for a while. That guy is gonna end up in a bad way, hopefully he doesn't take anybody along for the ride.

    Yeah, it isn't good. Sometimes you just gotta shake your head and walk away. It does make you wonder when you see stuff like that on trucks that look like they've just been dug out of the scrap heap, why guys with decent trucks get harassed by the revenue cops. All the while those guys blatantly stroll right on by. I never see a stereotypical container truck getting a roadside inspection. ...ever.

    There’s nothing wrong with baby girl being happy. There’s everything wrong with groveling to get her to be agreeable and losing your ManCard along the way.
    Worse case scenario


    She has a home. She has a loyal husband and kids who love her. Does she seem like she is ever happy? Yes, I do understand that this scene was from a tv show, but can you imagine this woman happy? I can’t…she is beyond imagination. This should have been handled 250lbs ago and before children were brought into the mix. ManCard was forfeited and what you are left with is a harmless idiot who hesitates every time he has to think. Those poor kids.

    I’d rather be dead.

    It took 2 weeks before the insurance company sent the check. The shop said they start ordering parts as soon as the check is in the mail, but getting parts has been a hassle, and they won't start work until everything is there.

    Ratty pos = no money

    Came across this on Facebook.

    Picking up the generator talk again Screenshot_20210706-174510_Facebook.jpg Screenshot_20210706-174523_Facebook.jpg

    2 different trucks of course but the second pic claims it's a 3500 predator hidden under the box.

    I was looking at my truck today and with some possible fender changes I may be able to fit a small genny in where the step resides on the passenger side
