Endless BS thread

Time to head to higher ground. Two days ago i sold the last of my rats. All i have is a 69 F100 daily driver. Yesterday was the first time in 20 years the driveway didn't have cars parked in it. 8 projects running and not running, the scrap/parts pile on the side of the house, bins of parts in the garage all gone. The house remodeling is winding down and the plan is to build a tiny house on a double RV garage in Rimrock AZ.

Best of Luck Eman!

This was on the job trailer wall back about 2013 or so. Love it to this day...

I fully realize that I have not succeeded in answering all of your questions………… Indeed, I feel I have not answered any of them completely. The answers I have found only serve to raise a whole new set of questions, which only lead to more problems, some of which we weren’t even aware were problems. To sum it all up…………….. In some ways I feel we are confused as ever, but I believe we are confused on a higher level, and about more important things.

Last time I let my dog borrow the truck, he hit a tree. It was my fault! I left it running...

Back in my younger days, when I worked at the gas station, there was a Kentucky Fried Chicken store right next to the station. One day I was at the pump filling a customer's car when a 64 Ford that was parked at the KFC come idling past the pump. There was a dog, standing on the seat with both from paws on the steering wheel driving the old Ford. No one else was in the car. It entered the street west bound and traveled across 3 lanes of the 4 lane road. Coming from the other direction was another car. That guy was honking the horn, and swerved into his right lane just about the time the Ford got there. The two cars hit head on at about 5 mph. The dog had abandoned his position when the other guy started honking. Had the guy come to a complete stop, the Ford would have probably went past him and stopped at the curb.
About the time the two cars crashed, the hippy came out of KFC and went running towards the crashed cars. No one was hurt, but the guy that was driving the car was pretty upset. He was really chewing the hippy out. The whole thing was actually pretty funny, and of course by that time, there was quite an audience.
All I remember hearing the hippy say was "Calm down man, it ain't my fault, it ain't even my dog."
The guy went nuts, "Then why is the damned dog in your car? And why did you leave him in there alone?"
The hippy calmly stated "The dog belongs to my friend, and I just stopped to get some chicken, man."
Then the Police showed up and the show was over.

Gotta watch those dogs, they don't seem to be very good drivers.

Their only problem is missing thumbs...

Great story Gene

I have a lot of great stories. I just can't remember most of them until something sets off a memory. The dog driving set this one off.

Anytime you think of one Gene this is the place to share them. I enjoy the old real life tales. I try to maintain a facade of respectability here so i can't share much.

"Facade of Respectability" I'm gonna steal that one from you, earthman.
