I started a thread about a truck I saw for sale up the road from my house by an older gentleman. Z31freakify was nice enough to help me out after making the error of posting some details about the truck.
Since then, I think the boys have just been shooting the breeze so to speak in this one. Also, there is always room for a Chris Farley gif picture.
I didn't think it was a violation to point out something that we find out there that is for sale. I've done it more than once and discussed whether or not it was worth it.
I hear yall about the black widows. Was helping a friend setup a fireworks tent, and one ended up being in the banners I was putting up. Ended up trying to be my little parrot. Friend saw it, freaked out and started slapping the crap out of my shoulder and I was so confused as to what was going on. Then I saw em stamping on the ground, and when the foot was removed I saw the nice old hourglass.
That was my second close encounter with one. Guess I got a knack for em, eh?
I was on a camping trip a few years ago up next to Lake Tahoe. Sugar Pine I think it was. I don't know what it was, but I ran into three of them in the span of two days. One was hiding the rail of a boat trailer and got dunked in the lake. It came out of the water pretty agitated and fell off the trailer near the tongue. Another one was hiding in a tarp when I unrolled it. A third one I literally just found wandering around on the pavement near the campsite.
There's something about that spider that sends a chill down your spine when you see it. Every time I see one I just want to run and set stuff on fire.
Here's a pic of one I found in the garage inside another box a few years ago:
I've had to kill as many of 6 of these little buggers in a single day. I've never been bit by one, but that's not on my bucket list. I went to New Zealand for a trip, and they lucked out on the whole poisonous critters thing. No nasty spiders, snakes, or other deadly creepies. Must be nice.

Posting something you found for discussion sake is ok. Posting to advertise a truck for sale on behalf of someone else, in the tech forums, isn't.
If it were ok, users could do it for each other, advertising their trucks for sale to skirt the guideline.

Yeah, hence my "free toast" post. That's an old school colloquial internet forum term used from waaaaaaaaay back before there were UBB's, to take advantage of an "oops" thread.
Bee's, I hate them. Years ago I was up on the Navajo Indian Reservation installing some medical equipment for a hospital in Northern Arizona.. The equipment was packed in two Hugh crates and were wrapped in that cellophane stuff. When unpacking one of the crates full of cardboard boxes that contained equipment, reaching in at one of the bottom boxes to pull out, I felt this stabbing pain in my middle left finger. Thinking I just hit a screw or something I looked at my hand and there was a bee attached, ouch.
Now I'm not all that afraid of bee's and am a pretty big guy, but .. It started swelling pretty bad and I was going into cold sweats. The director of the Navajo hospital insisted I go to the ER, which is where I was anyway and got me stabilized with a shot.
The rest of the story ..
Since I was injured on the job had to fill out the workman compensation forms explaining how this bee from "Apparently Minnesota", where the crates were packed, survived the journey to Northern Arizona where I got nailed.
It's bad enough to realize a small bee can take a big guy down, but had to call the boss and explain, of course, he laughed. To this day don't have a clue on cost on that ER visit.
Try going to the Virgin Islands the day after rummaging around the woods in your Grandma's backyard. They don't have a clue as to what poison oak is down there. Do it when you're 12 and your Mom will never forgive you!

PM sent with the details. It sure would be nice to help out this older gentleman/7.3 lover. He was very nice to me, even though I told him I was just missing mine and wanted to stop and see it up close.
He simply doesn't have the patience to list it on Craigslist and I know there is not much traffic down the road he lives on because it stops in the lake...
Thanks. I think i may have raised a 7.3 over as well. We were at a restaurant the last time i was home and he remarked on a dodge that had a trashcan exhaust pipe. Sounded like dodo he said.
