Where are you

Funny thing about those Groucho glasses.

Sometimes, guys will hear a woman on the radio and ask, "Hey, Baby, what do you look like?

One time, I answered that I'm bald, so I wear a wig, I'm near-sighted, so I wear glasses, I have a mustache and due to an unforunate accident, have a prosthetic nose. He decided he had to have a look, so I put on a bright red clown wig and a pair of Groucho glasses and waved at him on his way by.

I never knew coffee could shoot in such a lovely arc. I hope it didn't ruin his dash....

Picking up in Twin Falls, going to Lewiston, ID. If there's nothing going due north from there, I will bobtail to Spirit Lake.

 

Home in SC, and wouldn't you know it.....it's raining....shucks, no yard work today.....

 

in TN going to pu a load going to Ogden UT...

 

Mmmm....I forgot. They speak different languages in Minnesota and Georgia.

Having someone say you're a "kick" is a good thing....in the Northwest.

 

Well I wanted to and was going to but in the restroom there was this sign;

Every one knows I am the kind of guy that plays by the rules. So I'm waiting for a truck stop employee to show up and wash my hands, after 10 mins I washed them myself.

 

And I don't blame you for not washing your hands.....




Trust Me Folks.........

In that paticular restroom it may have been cleaner & more sanitary to wash the hands in the camode instead of the sink.

 

WELL ####!!!!!


so what can happen to make this day worse? I went to leave the petro to go across the street to Utility to have my ABS on the trailer checked out. Went to pull away from the stop light & BOOM!

Something exploded..... But the truck was still running, so I quickly pulled it into the gravel area on the right, shut the truck off, opened the hood with expectations to see scattered peices.....


My ####### radiator blew up. It took the fan blade & shroud with it.


So I let the truck cool down while all the coolant is leaking out.... Limp it back into the Petro. Call Volvo here in El Paso. They don't have any of the parts I need. So I call Volvo in San Antonio 550 miles away. They have the parts & can ship them to me. but they won't be here until Monday or Tuesday. So I call my Carrier to see if they have a truck coming thru San Antonio who can stop & pick up the parts & bring them to me in El Paso as they truck on thru.....

Still haven't heard back on that. So Now I'm waiting for Hertz rent a car to come pick me up. #### everyone else, I can do this on my own. I'm driving to San Antonio tonight 7 then back to El Paso so I can get rolling again about noon tomorrow.

Gotta be in LA Monday morning. Even if I have to use the rental car to haul my coils there 1 by 1.

 

Not being overly mechanically-inclined, I have never heard of a radiator actually blowing up...what other failing component could have caused that?

Hey...good luck with the plan too, Redd...

 

I've never heard of one doing it either, but I HEARD it! Sounded like both steer tires going at the same time..... Or the engine block falling out & hitting the ground..... Or a fat woman doing a belly flop in the pool.

 

Going to Home Depot DC?
