i dont have a show truck either but its always fun to do

 

LMAO!!! Dave's truck will be part of the 'draw'. Dave will let the public...experience the working truck up close and personal...YEAH that's it! Experience the smell and feel of a true working truck!

Outlaw, looking forward to the meet!

 

I think if you have a Ford Truck and want to see, meet and have fun with other Ford truck people you should come out to the show. Some take prode in the "daily drivers" other spend time and money to add/mod the truck to make them special.

Come one come all to the fun!

msgtg,
You have no idea how right you are, right now there is probably an inch of mud in the drivers side floor board.
The center of the seat has coffee stains, black with lots of sugar, that have overlapped several dozen times.
Drivers side seat is worn out, that is the second seat I have worn out in the truck.
Also after two weeks ago, the drivers side door and front fender has some extra bends in it from where a Chevy minivan thought she could push me off the road.
She thought wrong.
When I hit the brakes the end of my front bumper hooked the rear quarter panel and removed it from her van.
The dust is 1/4" thick on everything in the cab, inside and out.
Blueprints everywhere.

I was in Elkins today finishing a building pad to grade.
Choking on dust that was 2" deep on most of the site.
But when I got in my truck this evening I had mud on my boots over ankle deep.

You have no idea how much mud a pair of size 13 Wide Matterhorn boots with Vibram soles can track into a truck, even if you try to clean then off with a putty knife.

Just another boring day at the office.

Or, I had to run to the store and pick up a few things.

 

Dave....maybe we can do a 'before' and 'after' display. This what the truck looks like before you make it a work truck....and this is the end result!

LMAO! I can see the pictures now! Oh by the way Dave, to make it all right, we'd need you in your 'work costume' to make it authentic! I'll have the coffee pot goin so you have constant refills as a prop.

Whadda ya think Rod?

LMAO even more now!!!

Joe

 

Oh, oh, oh, WAIT! A fundraising idea just popped into my head! We can have guys take pictures sitting in Dave's truck so they can take back to the super to show they had been working!

 

Sounds like a winner! Dave can be the working man and truck Icon!

Sound good Dave?

Rod

 

I have a new coffee cup, it holds an entire pot of coffee.
So I don't need refills to often.
11:30 AM and 5 PM and I am usually looking for refills.

Actually we have work uniforms, I am usually wearing one.

Right now I am just hoping I am going to be able to get down there.
Work is piling up fast.
Our next hotel, a 260' x 250' four story one this time.
Water, sewer, gas, electric, phone, cable and storm sewers to install, each one is 5000 feet long.
That all starts next week.

Yesterday one of the local car dealers was looking at one of the other parcels rather hard a couple times.
His lot is to small where he is now, and there is no room to expand since he is in the downtown area.

Home Depot is looking at another one of the parcels.

A couple resturants are looking at the lots by the highway.

We have already started a gas station in Weston, doing the storm water retention system right now.
As soon as that is done the site grading starts which is moving about 75,000 yards of dirt.
The building and utilities will probaby start before the site is complete.

And today they decieded to move 400 feet of the storm sewer in Elkview.
Seems there was a 30" storm sewer that everyone forgot about.
Yesterday the crew that was doing the sanitary sewer tie in dug into the pipe which is right in the way of the sanitary sewer.
So now the only option is to move the storm sewer.
The high end of it is 11' in the ground, 400 feet away it is going to be over 20 feet down since the lot runs uphill 7 or 8 feet from the curb box where it starts.

I have a feeling this is going to be a very busy summer.

Another thought, move the show to Elkins, you can see my truck in it's normal enviroment. The pictures could be very authentic then.
Dust, mud and lots of materials and equipment for backround scenery.

If the storm that came though here a while ago makes it to Elkins we will be mud bogging tomorrow all day long.
Radar shows it has been raining there for the last 4 hours and it is still raining.
We had hail about grape size a while ago.

 

Dave
Will we need to come to you and kidnap you for a day of FUN!
Remember all work and no play makes Dave "missing the Fun"!

Rod

 

HEY....if we move the show to Elkins, we can charge the participants to watch a real Ford man work! Let them experience the DUST!

Still LMAO over the photos...this laugh is backlogged.

 

It does everything I need it to do.
After I rebuilt the motor last year it even does what I want rather fast.

What more could I ask from it.

 

Hey Dave:

I waited on your call, but no go .

Are you still in Elkview?

Buzz me. You still have the numbers.

Also, I know that the "Truck Show" is at Pipestem, but exactly where in Pipestem. That place is quite BIG!

 

Hi Paul, We haven't forgotten about you! I'll be sending the information package out via e-mail shortly.

One question, are you driving in the day of the event? Are you planning to stay over? This is so I know what to include in your e-mail.

Joe

 

Hey Joe:

I understand that it starts at 9:00 am and is only for the day. With that time frame, I will just drive in. It is only a little over 2 hours for me from the longest distance unless I stay in Beckley overnite.

 

No problem.....more info to come!

Joe
