Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Hey Jeffh, thanks for stealing my hat day thunder with your silly gal bladder problem. Everything isn't always about you, you know! (:eek:)

I can almost feel for you. I went through a gal bladder attack with my ex-wife. I know it's an awful thing. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Won't have to worry about that one any more.

But anyway, back to my hat day. It still isn't here. It was in OH at lunch time. Musta rode through the night. I tell you what, it'll be 9 degrees New Years Eve. Keeping my head warm has gotten to be old hat.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

How can yer head be cold with that giant brain churnin and burnin away up there ?

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Good point. It has to be right cold out before I'll put one on. And it's right cold right about now (outside).

I wondered into some good old live Marshall Tucker

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

My hat day must like OH. It was still there but in another town 14 hours later. Either that or it's stuck out on the hiway with a frozen thumb. Then again, it could be it got a ride from a fine female which led to other things. Like that time I was hitch hiking through Nevada when that gal from Tuscon who was headed to Eugene picked me up. Did I even tell you all about that trip? It was late Spring '81 and I decided...................

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Ugh...I am not good in the kitchen.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

And it's documented with a photograph.

I always wanted to go to Eugene?

Clearing a new driveway and Log cabin home site West of Knoxville after being late or early to meet the utilities guys I finally noticed that at the bottom of the driveway my cell phone showed central time and at the top of the driveway it shows eastern time :lol: This is MY version of living in a gated neighborhood !

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I like your kind of gated community .

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

My kind of community

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

As long as you remember to leave the cabin an hour late.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

That's quite a spread there. Not only a gated community, but it's so big it's in two time zones. How will you get any privacy with all those trees looking at you? Looks like not a lot of rock to deal with.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Well I better hop in on this facetruck thread with all this talk of cabins and pictures of tractors:metal:. Current status is at our cabin up at Red Feathers and here is the view out the back door. They are dredging the lake with front loader to make it deeper and hopefully avoid more fish kills. Man I've been missing being able to walk across the road and get a line tight. Funny thing is we came up yesterday and went from 14 degrees in the city to 45 up in the mountains. Usually the other way around this time of year.:mm:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Will the cabin be your weekend home Grumpy? Looks like a nice quite spot.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office.*

The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.*

The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling.*


I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.'*

I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Grandpa. 'How about a demonstration?'*

The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'*

Grandpa says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'*

The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet....’*

Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it.*


The auditor's jaw drops.*

Grandpa says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.'
Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn’t blind, so he takes the bet.

Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.*

The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with grandpa's attorney as a witness.*


He starts to get nervous. 'Want to go double or nothing' Grandpa asks? 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.'*

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.*

Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.*

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.*

But Grandpa's own attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.*

'Are you okay?' the auditor asks.*

'Not really,' says the attorney. 'This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!'*

LOL, good one .

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

That's funny. I laughed out loud when I heard it........................30 years ago!!!

Hey, I'm sorry. Really, I am. It's just that I'm angry and confused. I'm angry because I still don't have my cold weather hat day and just outside my door it certainly is a cold weather hat day that I don't have! See? Also confusing is tracking says it is in transit...still in the same place as before!! I thought to be in transit mean you were going somewhere

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

Well ,Tim sorry about your hat still in transit and you need it ,, I used to rely on my hat being there on its hook every time when going out doors and in the winter I had one of them hat liners like the other Larry I think supplies his workers in the winter,, unsless he a chea....... or just doesn't do it .lol

But ,since I down sized and retired ,,I am now am in style with the men on the cover of all them catalogs,, I have a scarf ,,

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

I dug up an old hat out of the general grab basket I keep here. I got by a couple years without a warm hat but this year a ball cap won't do! I'm getting soft and am good with that. I've toughed plenty out and now I'm getting more into comfortable. Warm clothes are my friend.

Speaking of cold, I need milk. Time to run to town.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 

My son in law was telling me earlier they are going to shut down all outside operations tomorrow and maybe the next day.

I guess they are waiting on a warm hat day.

Yes Tim, that joke is older than us.
