Title: Why is it...
Post by: MACHINE on July 30, 2011, 02:53:26 AM
that when you crawl under something to fix/modify it, there always has to be that mandatory ball of dirt that falls straight in your face? Usually strikes before the 5 minute time frame... Hell, in my case, I don't even have to touch something, just crawl under it and splat!  :bs)

Why is it that it always lands directly in the eye and not in the mouth?

I like this thread.

Why is it that something can be in it's place forever but come time to need or use it and it's nowhere to be found.

...until you don't need it again and then it magically reappears.

its all the oil. gear lube, antifreeze, gas or diesel that lands on in the mouth so you'll have the aftertaste for hours.

When you buy a product you really want then get home to find out something "better" is coming out in a few months?

This happened when I bought my new extended cab Z-71 in 03 and found out that 4 months later they were coming out with the 4 doors.

They have a special 6th sense built in that detects when their man is relaxing and comfortable. That's when they deploy the chore list.

I was looking for mine most of the afternoon cause I needed some hose clamps for the new tow pig. We found them 8 hours later on top of the printer under some paper that I had moved no less than 20 times while snarling and cussing.

Sorry if anyone here is from Polk, but I live just across the county line and have family over that way, it's a "special" breed of people in that county.

Some of them can be pretty ugly. A 3rd lane violation on I-285 will cost you $350. Speeding depends on the judge. He can nail you to the wall depending on how bad the speed was. Its the points on your license you have to worry about. Commercial insurance is extremely picky and wont insure you if you have very many points. That translates into unemployment.

Yeah it was 278.  Somewhere near a place called "cowboys". At least that's where he said he was sitting/hiding. They sure are a strange bunch out there. The cop was complimenting me on my wheel spikes bit giving me a drivers certificate at the same time.  And yes, he actually mentioned the whole "you're not from around here thing". I wasn't so amused at the time but looking back I'm thinking  WTF

Sadly you'd have to be from the area to get it, Polk is the brunt of many jokes around here, Bartow (where I live) isn't much better. Just be thankful that you were on the main drag (278) and not in the actual backwoods portion. {hihi}

Today some drunk dude decided to modify his door paint on my wheel spikes. Guess he thought he was gonna move 120,000 pounds of my wrecker and tractor trailer I was towing outta the way. Ha! Wrong. You should see his door paint. Wish I had gotten a pic bit he hauled ass when he figured out that I had his tag number, but it was pretty funny looking. Those things are stronger than I thought.

That would be pretty cool, but If I could get some about 8'' long made of titanium or plain steel I'd be happy. I seriously thought about trailer slapping this guy into the wall. He never even looked up when I hit him with the train horn. Dude had to be sloshed. I do know that his door had a nice set of grooves embedded in it.

It happened to me. It's a snowball effect I guess... That's why my XJ has been camping out in my shop for a long time now. Every once in a while I sit in it and make "vroom vroom" noises. Then I think about selling a kidney or something to get it finished.  :-\
