Good luck, Joe!..........Hopefully you will be back up and around in no time.

 

Ah the rattle can, I've been trying to clean up some of the surface rust on the Uni. Spent $10.00 on some krylon primer and painted the left side bed. Man, does it look so much better that what was there. Wife took one look at it and said paint the rest of the truck with it. For now it's as good as it's going to get. I would like to paint it the original corinthian white with baffin blue.

 

I rattle canned a whole 85 Ranger once, it didnt turn out half bad!........My finger and thumb hurt so bad, I had to buy one of those trigger handles to finish the job. It actually made it easier to apply a nice coat............I case of primer 1 1/2 cases of paint.

 

Well guys and gals, I aint going anywhere for a while. My arm problem went away, and I aint gonna die anytime soon. On alighter note, did one HECK of a recovery today. '03 Saturn VUE (suv thing) 300 feet down a ravine, sitting on it's side up against a tree. Apparently, it was stolen from Washington sometime in December. The keys were in the ignition, and the local fauna had established their new homes. Judging by how cleaned out the thing was....no paperwork at all, no personal items of any sort, and the keys being in it, it smells like an insurance fraud job to me. It took us about 3 hrs to pull this thing up the hill. We strung our entire winch line out and still had to add about 75 feet of chains. It was an amazing scenario, something a professional towing operator hopes for. After getting it to the top, and getting all finished up, and recovering ourselves after going up and down three or four times each, we sat down and did the tow bill. It came to $1500, and that's not counting any storage. I have a bunch of pictures in the phone, but I am unable to transfer them....boss won't add a text bundle, so I can't send or receive pictures. Now, we have to wait until Monday, so we can run the CarFax report on it, since complete info isn't showing up in the police data systems.

 

A Saturn Vue?.................Shoulda left it down there, Joe!

Glad your feelin' better too!

 

Well Dave I would've, but when the fuzz calls, we gotta go....ya know what I mean. It was worth it though, insurance will pay up on this one.

 

What kinda wild life was moving in?............Over here, it would have been full of wasp nests and ants.

 

I didn't see em up close and personal, but the my other guy did, and said it looked like a rat, but he said it had a baby or two hanging on it, so I think it could of been an opposum. It also had a snake or two come out. And lots of spiders.

 

when i worked at werner i opened my shop to a jeep liberty upside down behind the building in the trees. missing some brand new peterbuilt otr trucks i had in the lot.

 

This one's probably gonna result in fraud charges getting filed. Too many "inconsistencies" for a typical "stolen" vehicle. I've done many stolen recoveries, and this one just wreaks of fraud all over it. I've NEVER recovered a "stolen" rig that was completely cleaned out. I've NEVER recovered a "stolen" rig with the original key and key fob in the ignition. There is ALWAYS something of the owners personal items in a stolen vehicle, and the glove box isn't ever cleaned out of everything but the owners manual. This whole was staged, and I am confident that it will end up being proved that way.

 

that is kind of strange. and thats true joe you maybe on to something!
