    Well Blair this the new America now where Californian's rule and honesty, honor, and most of all integrity have no place.

    Just because someone is a liar doesn't make them a bad person. :eek:

    These are from last week. Talking to some clowns boss.........

    Buy some USA made britches people - great quality. Their shorts are very durable, so I thought I’d buy their jeans.

    $600 for install?
    Dude, you're sitting on the couch every day watching Judge Judy. Why are you paying $600 for an install??
    My, my.
    Happy Thanksgiving, Blair!

    As much as I hate to do it, I'm buying Rustler brand jeans from Walmart for $11.97 per pair. They last as long as Lee and Wrangler, and actually fit me better.

    On the days I'm throwing chains and moving equipment with the RGN, I always get grease on my legs somewhere.

    Grays Anatomy, actually. Not by choice.

    When I’ve had my fill of ‘STAT, Book an OR!, We need to intubate!, and get confused by who is sleeping with who, I venture outside and kill a 6 pack if it looks at me funny.

    I wanted to feel this guy out. He’s mobile, and does a lot of install jobs for Four States, also happens to play drums, and works pretty efficiently.

    They’re a bit more challenging than what I thought they would be. I’d probably tackle it now I’ve seen it done, but thought I’d wind up spending $400 on tools and potentially mess up a set of fenders if I tried myself.

    Know your business, I was told. Trucking I know, fender installation I do not.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you too sir!

    I think the install was free, paid by the $600 or more that he will not send to the irs .
