Ok I did get some info on how to operate the sky trak, but I didn't have to be replaced with a different driver. And if I ever got too scared one of the guys in the crew would take over for me.

Thanks for the advise Brent.

 

Watching Matlock prevents heart attacks?

...That explains a lot.

I second this. My dad and I tore apart his old chain saw one time (30 year old machine). It would barely run. Turns out the exhaust was clogged. Ran great after we cleaned it up.

I agree with this also. Take me, for example. I was 4 years into a career and decided I don't want to do that anymore and I am changing course!

Lots of time to decide what you want to do with your life.

 

Charcol and mesquite chunks:



Cooking up nicely. See the little mashed garlic clove on there?:



Served:



Man, they were good. Thinking about a nice piece of cheesecake for dessert. Dallas is outside, laying under the truck, chewing on the bones.

Everybody's happy.

 

Dammit Scott why do you always have to make the rest of us hungry by posting pics of your food. Looks great BTW.

 

I don't know why I do this Brent, but you post something and I have a story involving the same thing that you just yank out of my old memory banks. I was putting a second story addition on a Honda dealership in Marietta, Ga. and had rented a Lull with a 45 or 46 foot boom. We were working on a Sunday. I lifted a 30 or 35 foot long column that was dangling from a fairly short cable, but of course to manipulate it into position to place on the foundation bolts I was boomed nearly all the way out and up. Driving the machine very carefully I got the left side tires up on about a 4 inch high curb. I will be damned if that was not enough to just flip this damn machine over on it's right side. What an effin mess, I dove off the drivers side as it went over. There were brand new and used cars everywhere. Luckily I did not hit anything, but boy oh boy, it sure destroyed that boom. My insurance company nor the rental company was very happy. But at least it happened on a Sunday, and I had a boom truck on the job too, so I was able to get the Lull back up on all 4 wheels, but the boom would not return all the way to its parked position or I may have gotten away without having to report it to anyone.

If my long assed stories are bothering anyone, just let me know and I will knock it off.

 

Mark, not bugging me, but I love this stuff...Glad you didnt hit anything.

 

WooHooo!!! New Roadside help Network is up!!!! Good Job Jim and Justin!!!!

 

Good call, just sent mine in.

 

Doh!

Butterfinger Comedy Network on Yahoo! Video

 

thats a lot of carts...Not even 8am yet.

 

I am not bothered by your stories Mark. Actually I sorta enjoy em. Keep posting em up if you want.

 

15 submissions so far hopefully we can keep them going. Though Scott will have to pay with some of that cooking because it look GOOOD MMMMM.

Mark keep the stories rolling my friend.

 

Thank you for the sort of a compliment Jake. All it takes is something to jar a memory and it comes pouring out like it was yesterday. I gotta bunch of X rated ones that will certainly convince everyone that I deserve to be divorced. But in my defense you would have to all know what I put up with for marrying for beauty. All 3 children know all the stories and all side with me. They all agree Mom is "strange", their words, not mine. The youngest child will be 32 on Veterans day.

 

Marrying for beauty? oh great. Thats why Julie said she married me.... Now your giving me concerns Mark...

 

If you fell for that line, I'd like to talk to you about a certain bridge I just happen to have for sale.
