    I don't know how many donor trucks involved in it...I found out I'd been driving one of em a looong time ago. The steps and the headlight assembly come off the 78 I know.

    Wednesday morning "things that make you go 'Huh...'"-
    I was talking to a woman yesterday, telling her I was a little late because the bat signal went up at the pit for some help- the 18yo that showed promise quit and the other dirt bag hasn't been heard from since Monday last week (in jail, somewhere, my guess) so really short handed.
    She said her husband is a big wheel street maintenance boss (33yrs she said) at the decent size city south of here. Job opening for entry level position- city job so decent pay, full medical, vacation, sick leave, gobs of overtime clearing snow....
    He hired a fellow, the guy quit after 5 hours and said it was hard work and he didn't want to work 5 days in a row all the time anyway.
    Huh
    He's had the position posted for 3 weeks now......and has not got a single applicant. Not one. Zero. Nada.
    For a city job.
    You're still employed when all of your buddies are laid off, worst case.
    Feed your family.
    In a cruddy economy.
    Huh.

    [edit: I looked it's the County, not City]

    If it gets to sunny for beer drinking, we can move to the deck.

    Odd part is the guy thought that was a normal excuse to quit. Strange days
