    Sounds like something a mechanic thought up, accessable... Now forklifts..

    New model; catchy thought up name, C-500...
    Bid requests' put out for engines, transmissions, diff housing an steer axles...
    While awaiting quotes, frame shop is building up inventor of stock frames...
    Quotes received, analyzed, accepted as components ordered...
    Engines and diffs ship immediately, trans 2 months out.
    Discovered frame and diff housing not compatible...
    Frame mod will take 2 months to complete....
    Trans have been expedited and now half arrive....
    Modified frames on hand fitted with an engine, trans and diff...
    Base pilot truck examined for installing accessories and cowling..
    Rollout of this new model was planned date of next week...
    Crash crisis assembly teams install, mount, connect cooling, fuel, controls..
    Painted, trucked to showroom, decals applied there..
    This is the main reason forklifts are so difficult to wrench on.

    You know you live in the north when you have a snowplow mounted on the lowboy tractor!

    Look into the kitchen if able, see who is on...

    Used to eat BBQ sandwiches at the Crossroads beer joint, US45 and US 82. "Heavy" (xtra large black guy) was the car hop. "Lewis" (Scrawny little light skinned guy) was the (a) cook...Carload of us drive in. Ritual began...
    Heavy come to the car. 5 guys, we ordered 6 beers. Beers arrive, Told Heavy ,you brought too many, duck down by the opened door and kill it.
    #6 gone... Some beers consumed and Heavy works others. Call him back.. Lewis working? Yes... Tell Lewis we want 5 BBQ.s and bring us 5 more beers... Heavy starts to go inside,"Heavy, come back..". He stops and returns. Heavy, tell Lewis to put some meat in them BBQ's. Off goes Heavy.
    Reasonable time, out the door come scrawny Lewis with a massive tray load... 5 BBQ's and 6 beers, one is a Falstaff, Lewis's brand.
    Tray is hooked on driver door, Lewis goes around to the suddenly open passenger door and squats to enjoy his Falstaff. BBQ's had a least 1/2 lb of meat. It is good to be a regular and know the staff...
