How'd it go today?

[MasterBlaster]

It makes mall parking a lot easier!!!

It's a long bed, with a quad cab, but i have to climb up in there to get tools and run leads and stuff, not to mention I'm trying not to scratch anything. My old boss had a long bed, but he cut the frame off right behind the axle so he would have the long wheelbase but easier to turn around. Brand new truck lol, i don't have that card in the deck yet!!!

 

[squisher]

Needs more dents ......and scratches

 

[Tree09]

Lol i almost cried the first gravel road i had to go down lol. The standing joke at work is that the traffic flaggers need to set up a perimeter around it hahahahaha. Wayyyyy to nice for the likes of me. Now the inside of the bed is actually getting dented and scratched, but it is completely unavoidable doing any work. I'll get some pics tomorrow if i remember.

 

[MasterBlaster]

My '02 Silverado is still in immaculate condition.

Tomorrow I gotta go pick up a rope I forgot about on the ground.
Fuckin snow.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I've heard snow makes you forget stuff.

 

[pantheraba]

Fuckin snow.

It's called dragging dust around here when it shows up you drag up... not this year tho

 

[squisher]

Snow is here and coming. Bleh. Winter sucks.

 

[Fiddler]

You put on ladies clothes when it snows? ...how...um...interestingly unusual...

 

[SkwerI]

Middle of November. Go out and shovel some of that 'global warming' off the walkway.

 

[flushcut]

I just hope the snow holds off until I get back home so my wife doesn't have to deal with it.

lol too at the global warming crack, Brian. Weather is changing up big time here, just like I think it is pretty much everywhere. But it's all good, nothing we can do about it and in no way are we having any effect on the planet whatsoever.

well played sir, well played....

Do they not use the term drag up in Michigan tho? I thought that was pretty much part of the English language. This will be the first winter I about 5 years I've worked outside or at all, been nice to hang with the family all winter.

It finally dropped below 80 degrees here yesterday. It's 47 right now.

I'm not familiar with the usage, and I've lived all over the US over the years. Fiddler's usage wouldn't have immediately come to mind, either -- but then, that's for sure not my gig!

I've not heard it used before...guessing it refers to rear or undercarriage blades. It's usually push, plow, or removal when when attached with snow.

You need to get out more bigboy. One night partying with Ed and you'd have your horizons broadened I'm sure.

 

[SeanKroll]

Drag can also be women in men's attire.

 

[Fiddler]
