    How many points do you get for an orange construction barrel? Someone had hit a whole line of them it was lying in my lane and I couldn't move over (2 lane road, oncoming traffic)

    thwang, that sucker went flying.
    bull bars are awesome

    also pox on the ######## who don't write anything up.

    Grabbed a dolly, hooked a set, drove off, got to the terminal to break teh set and the 5th wheel handle won't stay in the released position.

    finally had to go find a warehouse worker, here hold this out and watch your feet while I pull forward.
    and then of course, switch dollies again.

    How much time off do you have to take for that? Is a detached retina from trauma, or just a weird random thing? Should you be looking at a screen right now?!

    Good luck with your recovery, driverrr.

    Got one eye closed. Can happen on its own, or from trauma. And at least a month. Mine just happened, being nearsighted adds to ones risk. And I am very nearsighted .

    Hi everyone, :hello2:
    I'm back, been busy working on moving into my house, I though packing was a pain, well so is unpacking still finding more crap to put away.

    Anyhow, work today was fun, dumb construction all over the place and my self and my helper ended up performing some kind of goofy surgery to get our truck to the proper dock today at a camp. It was stupid anyhow, same old same old.

    That's a bunch of crap, and you can bet nothing will be done about that due to management being too lazy to do the leg work involved.
     
    Big Don and Naptown Thank this.

    "But you got it fixed, right? So what's the problem?"

    I just shook my head and left.

    Construction barrels aren't that bad. Those candle sticks they bolt into the ground can seriously damage your vehicle. My coworker got a massive dent on his steps when he grazed one.

    Hey @sdaniel , I hope you recover fast. Glad to see you are doing well enough to keep us updated
