    Yeah, you don't have to wash them as often. Dirt and grease doesn't show up quite so much. . .:biggrin_25523:

    i suppose that having black sheets is politically correct as compared to white sheets and a pointy pillow case

    Yup. Though it's more like they'll never turn permanently yellow from sweating my ### off in an anti idle state.

    My rights pre-date the Constitution. It isn't a question of whether we have rights or not, it's a question of how far we have to go to get people around us (mainly our government) to respect them. The government is usually willing to kill us to secure our obedience, and we usually aren't willing to die for our liberty.

    I can't tell who is worse, the tyrant that makes bad laws, or the tyrant that enforces them (just doing their job).

    Would have thought it was a full moon the last few days. Had one fella that thought when he received a ticket, you just say the heck with it and throw it in the trash and never pay it or go to court. He was surprised to be arrested for having 32 previous tickets that he never took care of, and was suspended. He was suspended in my State, but his home State's license was good. Well...........I was just going to write him a ticket and release him, but his mouth got him a set of silver braclets. He was really upset when I dropped him off at the jail on $10,000 bond.

    Had a guy driving one of the junkiest trucks and trailers I have ever laid eyes on. Trailer had brakes missing, leaf spring broken, holes in all 4 brake chambers. two wheels with inadequate brake linings, air line that was spliced with a garden hose wrapped around it and hose clamped. Truck had a broken spring on the steering axle, one ruptured diaphram, 6 bad tires on the combination. I thought I had seen it all, but well..........this guy took the cake. :biggrin_2551:

    Dieselbear--tell me please you didn't just say "I thought I had seen it all!"--man that's like breaking a mirror--even if you ain't superstitious! IMHO--I would advise you--to carry 2 extra jumpsuits for a while--get a fresh(extra large size)can of GoJo--truck full of fresh shop towels--and you might want to grease the wheels of your creeper--before you go back to work!
    and please don't kill the messenger --you brought this on yourself--LMAO
    Be careful out there!
     
    dieselbear Thanks this.
