Survived Black Friday barely. Saved a ton of money. Blew out my rear tire and guess what. The crow bar under my hood was to small. Wonder who that J&^ck A$$ that did that was. Not me lol by the way. I can only guess used dealership maybe.

Luckily I earned some serious karma points the day before helping a guy Fellow Manitoban with his 02 F250 7.3. A couple stopped and his crow bar fit. Next battle was getting the wheel off. Why people do not use anti seize lol.

Biggest deals of the weekend. 32" LED TV for $99. Tablet for $29 and Rotela Triple for $11.99 a jug. Lots of other little deals.

Sofar there is no money out of my pocket so all this has been is a hassle. The Rum and Eggnog budget is still in the black so all is good.

Morning fellas. Gerry, time is flying. Before we know it we'll be mowing the grass again.

Morris, I'm betting there is a bad smell in that cab now. That guy is lucky to be alive.

Have a great day everyone!!

Its a Canadian thing TJ... We bitch about the cold weather. Whats even funnier is people who bitch about people who are bitching about the weather... Pisses me off you know...people bitching about people bitching.....oh well, at least it gives me something to bitch about...

Edit: Can someone speak up who is 100yr+ here? That is pretty awesome, I never would have suspected!!

Happy Hump Day morning all. Welcome back Gerry. Did you by us something? Morris. that looks like a driver error situation. It's a day cab. Looks like it doesn't have a headache rack. I can see it now. "Abdul, take this load of steel to so & so. Hurry we're way behind today" Driver loads it. doesn't secure it properly, is in a hurry, and whamo! got a stop quick! We've hauled hundreds of steel loads on our decks and some scary quick stops and never a problem. Have a great day guy's.

I love the bold. I see this passing through here every day. Drivers making the dumbest mistakes, causing confusion and near causing accidents...99% of the time it is Abdul, and Maharajah transport or something... Or Bison. Our own local A&S transport are a bunch of winners also. Poor equipment, poor drivers... But I shouldn't really criticize, I don't drive a big rig, perhaps its harder than it looks.

Speaking of Bison. The CEO of Bison is a client of mine.
