ALL THREE?!!! That may have been a sign At least nobody was hurt right???


That kind of luck reminds me of a story a guy from the fishing forum told me once. Routine airborne operation on Fort Bragg, he hit the ground after narrowly missing the treeline, and the wind picked him back up and put him in the trees feet off the ground and everything!!!

Yup, two LARGE Hemlock's broke, and hit another smaller tree, and all three came down on my truck.
A sign, possibly, I did replace it with another truck that I like the color of more than the one I had.
And yes the biggie is that nobody was hurt.

Good morning North Carolina
I checked my tracking information on the new running boards/step tubes, what ever they're being called at the moment, and they should be here today,
I can't wait to get those black plastic things off of that truck.

Good morning everyone and happy Friday. It's almost time to start the weekend and the weekend chores! Need to knock some out early, so I have free time tomorrow. Looking forward to the Mud Races this weekend. It's been years since I've been to one.

Going to get the title for my truck finally. PO never processed it when it was signed over to him so I've had to wait for him to get it in his name officially so he can sign it over to me. I have held half the $ till we got that finished, but today is the day!

Happy Friday everyone... working on my 50 hours for the week getting paid that OT to look out the window of the truck and get out every once in awhile to check to make sure the AFVR is going as it should, then every 2 hours to swap wells. I suppose there are worse ways to spend the day.

Nope, a little deeper than the surface.

I know that feeling to well. I had a few hurdles to get through in order to get Ka'Bluey a good NC title. Anything older than 25 years old, from another state has to have a Theft inspection, and it goes down hill from there.

Darn PO brought a random registration card instead of the title he owes me just because it was in an NCDOT envelope. Back to waiting on the title. No worries, I have lots of work to do before she's road worthy.

Well that sucks. Hopefully he/she gets the title issues fixed soon.
Myself though, I'd be concerned about putting much money into the truck until it was in your name.

Yea I believe I'd have to hold up spending much just because I have a hard time trusting people.
