I was leaving work one day, got to the stop light, cross traffic was going and crossing the intersection was a tow truck on another tow truck, with a car behind it. Talk about a bad day, your car breaks down, call the hook, it picks you up and then breaks down too.



Nice! :-laf:-laf

Mhannink: I've never seen a hook tow a hook with car hooked on. I'm sure that'll be illegal up in Canada. That has got to be funny watching even though not funny to the vehicles being towed. :-laf:-laf



HHhuntitall of species 8472: To me, the cattle are walking steaks!:-laf Like Bschwarzli says, "wipe it's nose, wipe it's @$$ and bring the cow to the table. " Yummy!!



"HH, your Surgeon XL Monster gun please, got a dinner to shoot at my table. "



"MMMM!, Yummy! bloody Rare!!"



Nyoest: If horses have plopping apples, What do our goats have?

Depends on the hook..... when you get a 1 ton dragging a 2 ton on it's arms, with a car in tow... . that should be illegal!! But the County just want's the car out of the way, and the first hook is REALLY blocking traffic!! Nothing like having to hit the brakes to get it to steer... ... :rolleyes:



Goats pop pellets. Smoke pellets. And small chunks of melted rubber.

Enjoy! Be sure to send some sunny south north! :)





Great. He is gone now. We can talk about him. :-laf



Really. Going away and not checking TDR!?:eek: I would die. :D
 
Bschwarzli: Lmao! Hard to get away from Tdr. It's addictive, just like adding power to our cummins. Nyoest must be using nicorette or something to stop his Tdr cravings for a week or so.

Nyoest: enjoy your trip.

Hello, I've posted in the "lift pump 1998 dodge 3500 4x4". Have a read, got some happy people there with the post I put in.

OH, you... ... . you... ... ... you pull air!!!!! Hey, I noticed Tipton, MO... ... I was in Windsor yesterday..... didn't think to offer up lunch... . guess I wouldn't have been very good company, covered in hay and dirt... ... It was cold!! I spent the night in my truck in Jasper at the truck stop, and there was frost on the inside of the windshield when I woke up:eek:!!!! Even the ol' Dirty Dodge argued when I went to start it!!



We'll carry on, don't worry. We tend to carry on a lot, so I'm told..... :D



Addictive, indeed. But these Dodges are part of our lives. We use them to get us to work, and some of us use them for work..... we like them, they're dependable, and tough. All things we admire. Well, except for the diesel bills.....
 
Well I landed back home tonight safe and as sound as I get!



Talk about me huh? I know what you say when I'm here so that REALLY must be something! :D



TDR has become engrained in my life but the friends I went to visit I only see once or twice a year so I try to enjoy what time we have together. We accomplished quite a bit and drove miller lite stock up a few points.



HHH your on the poo list buddy! You were fifteen miles from where I work! The shop is at Sedalia. Would have been great to meet up with you. Funny thing is I went to springtown to carpool the rest of the way to Beaumont! So I guess i should be on the poo list too!



Were you hauling hay south? You'll be fine as long as you don't take I 69 in Oklahoma. Dear god I know those people pay road tax but it SURE doesn't show!



One morning we did get to go to Houston were the drednaught Texas resides. Impressive doesn't even come close to describing it. Hopefully the pic of the 50 will come out so you all can read it. This ship was decommissioned in 1945.
 
It was great! Just took a lot of drive time and fuel. I took a 25 ft gooseneck with a disk and '79 F250 to FT worth and met up with a buddy and his wife. Swapped the trailer to his 05 "with real back doors" Unloaded the ford, loaded a plow and the dog and we were off to Beaumont. Since I left home I have spent about 36 hrs total in various CTD's. We had a nice visit Then we loaded assorted plunder and came back.

I stayed about 5 mph under the speed limit because of the poor condition the roads were in and got 9. 8 mpg first tank, 9. 3 second tank (busted, I took a nap) and on the return got 10. 3. Mucho grande fuel bills, but a lot of iron got moved. I never scaled anything, really didn't want too know. ;)
 
Ughhh! Hwy 69 indeed..... Only in Oklahoma would they let such a route get so rough!!! Northbound wasn't near as bad coming up. But going back..... I wanted to find someone and beat on 'em the way they beat on my truck and trailer!!! We bought some hay from a guy over at Windsor, but it turned out not to be as good as the rest I've bought. I was pretty dissapointed. He only had a barn big enough to put around 2000 bales in, and we took 1/4 of that with 1 ton trucks. I had hoped I could go back with my KW and get a big load on the 53ft, but the hay just isn't what I need. I won't have any trouble selling what I have, but I don't want to be known for selling it. I have several bales that are crap. One even had about 20' of brambles baled up in it!!! WTH!?! :eek:#@$%!:-{} Now that'll tick you off, right there!!



I go to Sedalia every two years to get bullets over off Henry Street. The seconds in the outlet store go a long way by the pound!! :D I'll have to give you a heads up the next time I'm up. I wanted to go this time, but thought it best to head home, instead. Yeah, Springtown is around 45 minutes from here. I've got some good friends from down there, too. We don't see each other much, these days.



Yeah, we ended up talking about you... it was so bad the moderators had to delete it, I guess..... :eek: ;)



A '79 F250?!? I love those!! I've got a 2x4 w/400 4spd my Dad bought new, sold to my cousin, who sold it to me..... I've got a nice pair of Dana Axles to go under it..... and I know I can find a Cummins..... It matches the 4x4 he bought the same day, but it has A/C!! I wouldn't call either one road worthy at the moment, but they'll start and run. The 4x4 is my feed truck with a bale mover and feed bunk on it. I use it pretty regular. Compared to some of the junk on the road here around DFW, they're pretty nice!! :-laf
 
Apparantly this thread died. Time to dust it off and taser it back to life. :D

MR. Sasquatch: I think the roaches follow you everywhere anyways. Somehow you'll have to get them to stay at the door. Perhaps Vexcon can help there. :-laf

Yah, it kinda died. I've got that affect on threads for some odd reason! Especially my own, don't dare talk aboot cams eh.

Hey did you hear the new cummins for '13 will have 7 injectors and run on cheez whiz?

That ought to whip 'em up. :D

Ooops..... sorry!! Yeah, they usually follow me around, looking for whatever I've killed, picking up crumbs... ... . Kinda like those little fish that follow sharks around, ya know? I can pass gas and get rid of 'em, but I can't do that around friends... ... I can't afford to kill any of those!!! :-laf



And tazers suck!! #@$%! It used to take 6 cops to put me in a car!! Now it only takes 3-4... ... one to hold the trigger and 2-3 to pick me up... ... . and the newer hinged hand cuffs suck, too. I haven't been able to break those, yet!!! And they'll cut the crap out of you when you bring your hands around front. But they work well to break automotive windows.



Ever seen a tazer used on a bull!!?!?! That was friggin' hilarious!?!?! A friend of mine that was chief of Police for a smaller town locally used one as a demonstration, one time. I had to rope and catch this bull that kept getting out of this place on the edge of town..... I'd put him back several times, and he'd get out and come into town to eat on the people's freshly watered lawns. He even got to where he was nocturnal, but you'd see these huge footprints in the yards..... as well as some LARGE piles of BS!! The owner couldn't catch him, and finally agreed (after 3-4 threats of a lawsuit and death!!) to let us catch him and haul him off..... I was the "lucky" individual volunteered for the job. Anyway, after getting him in the trailer, he got a little stupid, hitting the side of the trailer, butting the gate... ... Jimmy walked by, came inside, and asked anyone if they wanted to see a Tazer demonstration. Of course, that's a dumb question!!!??! He walked out, climbed up on the side of the trailer, his Seargent filmed it, and he hit that sucker right in the back, and he went stiff, bellered like he was gutshot, and fell over sideways!?!!? I about fell off the side of the trailer, laughing so hard!!!! :-laf I think I need one of those!!

:sniff: Cheese whiz?!?! How hard is it to run that up into the cab?!? "Crackers, Grommit!!!! We forgot the Crackers!!!!!" Oo.



... ... mmmmmmmmm... . BUMPSTICK

HH: that's hilarious! You're already a trouble maker with the law. You're the only Sasquatch to receive this much attention. All other Sasquatchs kept trying to elude everyone. :-laf:-laf



Was that the actual cattle prod or an actual taser that they use on criminals which they used on the bull?







Nyoest: 7 injectors and using cheesewhiz? Now you got the Sasquatch looking for you. If you got any, better hide it.



I was also told of rumors of compound turbos coming factory on 6. 7 cummins. Not sure if this is true. My dad's Peterbuilt with a 435 cat has compound turbos to clean up emissions. People have been telling me that Cummins is planning this.
 
My favorite poem written by David Magnoli:

As Christmas approaches, we thought you'd enjoy this Christmas poem from TDR Writer, David Magnoli.
*
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the truck
All the fluids were frozen, the injectors were stuck,
*
The grid heaters were chilled and the turbo stone-cold,
This weather was frightful if I may be so bold,
*
The snowdrift was piled sky-high on the hood,
As I tossed to the fire a fresh load of wood,
*
My good wife and I settled in for some rest
But 'twas not long-lived, yet perhaps for the best
*
“What's that!” I declared with the metal-grinding roar
And no sooner than said came a knock at the door,
*
I arose from my chair soon to be slumber's bed
And there on the porch was the Big Man in red!
*
“I'm stuck” spoke he, “can you give me a pull?”
I said I may be stupid but I ain't no fool
*
So I rushed to the truck as I buttoned my flap
I opened the door and threw out my strap
*
One move and the key was set firm without strife
With a quick turn that Cummins came surging to life!
*
The rattle and roar of that powerful six
The hot blast of smoke shaking candy cane sticks
*
The reindeer were nervous and in awe of such might
But they knew that Ol' Cummins would be saving their night
*
I eased in the clutch and I dropped her in gear
The T-case in low as I backed her in near
*
One end to the hitch and the other to sleigh
The tow strap was set as the snow wiped away
*
He cried out “I'm not sure, cause that old sleigh is heavy
but I trust you, cause I see you're not driving a Chevy”
*
I gave her some fuel and four tires did spin
Then they grabbed with the strength of the truck I was in
*
Ol' Dodge started smoking and pulling so hard
That I ended up halfway ‘cross my neighbor's yard
*
As I backed off the fuel and gave a proud shout
He declared that “No Ford could have pulled that sleigh out!”
*
He thanked me profusely and the reindeer did bow
To the Mighty Ol' Cummins, which was idling now
*
For they knew in their hearts that without this fueled might
That there would be no Christmas this shivering night
*
He climbed in his seat and with a wave of his hand
Those reindeer lurched forward across the snowed land
*
“I thank you again my dear newly-found friend
For your hand and your heart kept this night from its end
*
And later this eve, warm and snug in my lodge
I'll be thanking the Lord, that you bought a Dodge!”
*
 
I ain't afraid of no Sasquatch. I'll simple divert a fuel line from super secret test model '13 ram to a few crackers and calm the hairy beast.
 
Nyoest::-laf:-laf Got a Kangaroo choppin stick ready in case the super secret '13 model Ram plan backfires? :-laf

Oh buddy you obviously haven't seen a sasquatch go after cheez whiz. Man they go for it like a dog to a hubcap. Gaaarruuunnteeed

And on a side note, I'll have to return the secret ram soon. The clerk at the grocerie store is starting to refer to me as " that cheesy guy" and I think the sanitation engineers suspect something's up every time they dump the trash and crush all the empty whiz bottles. Ram sure will be sore with me if specs of the new truck get out... ...
