Word of the day: Advil
Like peewee's playhouse
Night folks
Ouch. I've had sore shoulders for weeks now without really knowing what I did. I was just starting to feel better until trying to lift stuff from weird positions today and now I hurt again.
Patting yourself on the back while you sleep?Quote:

That damn aftermarket sender isn't reading right...fuker. Checked all the wiring and the gauge, the float just isn't OE and some further adjustment will be necessary to get it reading right. We'll get it figured out eventually.
The black cats were all duds btw, too dang old it seems. The new stuff will show up soon.
Hump day comin'....far out.
Perfect word for peewee's playhouse.Quote:

I'll be near Fentonite's place tomorrow morning, but no time to stop and visit.
Well as long as they're objectified on their own terms. i guess it's ok.Quote:

Like peewee Reese's.
I can't seem to settle on a word today...

I think we can lose the disclaimer. Anyone who doesn't know the context in which the word of the day is used, doesn't deserve to participate.
Um... ouch?
Listen, if Pee-Wee Herman doesn't already live in your heart, then you don't deserve the joy of the word of the day. Even Buffalobo, who says has never liked Pee-Wee's Playhouse, knows what we mean.
Plus, what if one day there is some very important information about Pee-Wee on this website, then years later I want to do a search to refer back to that same info? I'll have to sift through 289 pages of the PWT thread to find info on my beloved Pee-Wee!
One of my cousins dressed as Pee-Wee Herman for Halloween once, and I have to say that he really nailed the look. It was great.
I will still be here for secret word regardless.Quote:

Wouldn?t have been awake anyway. Turned into a late night.Quote:

So in CO i had more than 1 forum member unable to navigate they way out of the yard. Always finding the corner or side of the shop to run in to. Some couldn't get past the 12' gate with out scraping their truck along the fence.
Flash forward to a week ago. 20' straight job truck pulls in to install gutters. Gate is 12' wide with plenty of space to pull a full size truck with a 20' trailer in.

Truck needs to go forward to park between the house & guest house in the background.
So what does the driver do. Pulls up to the intersecting drives and..............................backs up
right in to the 4' oil firld pipe and gate. 30' at the widest area inside the gate narrowing down to 14' up between the buildings. I asked why did he think he needed to back u when the worh was on the other buildings/ I dun know, it's my first time driving this truck [facepalm]

Did you ever back a trailer into your old place? I'm getting better at backing with my trailer, but it still seems like that would be a tight turn. The wide alley helps for sure.
No we had enough room to swing a 17' pull behind through, with close to 1-2" alongside the gate / garage. The 8' gate out front was just wide enough to squeeze the trailer[s] out.Quote:

This question coming from a guy who at 1 time, ok more than 1x backed in to power or light poles in an empty parking lot, or two.
The same week I did that, I watched another guy do the exact same thing. I figured out why we both did that, but it's difficult to explain over text.
It's all what the eye seem, not what's actually out there. Depth perception.Quote:

In my experience little, empty & low trailers are squirrelly.
Yeah but does it matter as much since they don't really pull the tow vehicle anywhere? Or are you referring to them rapidly doing things you don't want when trying to back in? The latter has certainly been my experience.
Squirrelly in reverse, yes.
Yeah, I'd like to try towing something a bit bigger. I have a small trailer with a short wheel base tow vehicle.
For years no one under my employ could back the trailer into the shop without several attempts. Few times I was even called to see if I could. To be fair there was only about 4" clearance on either side through the door... but still, years?!
I?ve spent a fair amount of time in Lamar over the last fifteen years. Can?t say I?m a big fan. I was there in April and it seems a lot of the restaurants I used to enjoy are closed now.Quote:

There used to be some sort of factory there (building buses or motor homes I think) and when that shut down the town sort of started dying.
Irving, are you saying you haven't seen a tornado in person or are you just hoping for freshies?
I've never seen a tornado in person. :(
