Or worse. Take out one of the PSDs!
I got a real time playout of that event in my head as I read your post.

I just saw a big bucket crash through the side of a brick building, while Pete has his neck craned off in the opposite direction!

You men are so easy.

Its kind of funny because as an observer from the female driving big diesel truck perspective..some men are obviously turned on by it..but a large percentage of them are outright offended by it and drive like A-holes to try and prove something.

If it was a male customer they'd be too busy staring at Cris and Lisa to realize their stuff was smashed.

According to Lisa you'd be distracting any female customers, Sheldy.

I'm a literal waste of space and oxygen right now.

Unemployed. Searching. Moved to Iowa a few months ago. Left a job as a Marketing Coordinator/Graphic Designer in Denver. Also working on getting into Graduate School.

Living off of money I made off sale of house I owned in Denver.

What do you do? And why jet lag?

I'm a full time student. (I'm 16)

My dad owns a construction/sitework business so I've been running equipment and driving trucks since I was 8 years old.

Started out right too! First thing I ever drove solo was dad's 96 7.3 F350 DRW 4x4 with an enclosed sorta service box he had custom built for it.

I can out-operate 30 some-odd year old guys who claim to be professional operators. And that's not just my opinion. I was told that by a guy I was working with over the summer.

I was working on a job where it was myself, an employee of the facility where we were working who was in his 30s and claimed to be an operator, and an operator of a D8 CAT owned by the area's largest construction operation.

The D8 operator told me that I was 10x the operator the other guy was.

We need a plumber around here.

We have an electrician, a few carpenters, and several heavy equipment operators. We could build a house now!

Any 'what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas' stories for us?

You're no fun!

I'd love to go to Vegas, but mostly just to look around and experience it.

I'm not much of a gambler. If I want to watch my money disappear, I just go to Walmart....or wait for the truck to break.
