Mid-Tenn Chapter Roundtable

[Piston Slapper]

Dear Mr. any 1 of 10,

Nobody has said anything about Barry nor was he the subject of anything I said. Whoever (1 of 10) started this banter of crap is who I'm talking to. The enthusiasm of this thread and this group has degraded due to the childish and immature behavior of a few. For example, people posting crap like this. "I know know how you fill Big Papa you should work for the guy he will spit all over you and then let you down (Its all about what you do for HIM so HE can screw you in the end )"

Grow-up, whoever the 1 of 10 is. Or is this maybe disgruntled diesel dork #11?

I don't see where anyone is disrespecting Barry. I consider Barry a friend and always make a point to say hello, shake his hand, and give him a thumbs up and congrats after a run whenever possible. Same with Brad.



Barry has a strong running truck. He even put 13 ft. on Joe the other night, but because Joe was the first puller he had the opportunity to drop the pull and got a second chance. Pure luck only because they decided to reset the sled.



I just don't want to see a repeat of the stuff that went on last year. We lost several members over that. People I considered friends.



Peace to all.



Anthony

Robert, if you want to hide in a crowd or supposed anonymity that's your choice. If you want to let others come on here and post under your user name, that's a reflection on you. It's your name under "HanginLow" in your profile for anyone to see.



Nobody here has ever had anything bad to say about Barry and it's just another poor choice by you to drag him into this. Barry is a good man. He's personally helped me out and I can't believe that he chooses to be represented by you. Let Barry speak for himself.



You and Brad are the only two I know to work for Joe. I've never had a problem with Brad. I've never heard Brad say a bad thing about Joe. Are you speaking for Brad now, too? Brad has a user name on here, he's a grown man, let him speak for himself.



The only one I've heard bad mouth Joe here is you and you're in the wrong crowd to try to get support for your twisted cause. Talk about a joke... ... .

[BradJ]

Yes, I can speak for myself but Robert knows my views on this whole situation since I have been there since the start of everything. I can say what Robert says is also my point of view. No one else can come on here and say what should and shouldnt be said because no one else besides me, robert and joe know the whole deal and what went down. Everyone else has heard one side of the story. We just wanted to make sure everyone knew we dont speak for barry and also that he wasnt being brought up in the wrong context, but I think the truth has been spoke on these threads on our part. If everyone still thinks alot about barry why was sand thrown in his face by not bringing his name up about getting second place and saying Joe wins "as usual". Barry did win the first pull until the third truck in line just happend to be able to drop his pull. If you still call him a friend you would have brought up his name after all the help he has tried to give you. If this doent try to stir the pot I dont know what is. I personally feel like barry was disrespected by that statement and when you disrespect him you disrespect me. I try to be nice to everyone until I fell like I have been done wrong or my friends. Until the statements on here none of this bothered me. Barrys truck has been for the most part unchanged for over a year and outgunned. I will do everything in my power to be sure this wont be the case next year.



Also why does everyone on here speak for Joe. Also why does every issue on this thread have all originated back to Joe. Just an observation.

 

[Piston Slapper]

OK, let's try this again.
To all 10 posters or to #1 or #2 or Barry or whoever...

First, if you got a problem with another man, act like a man and go deal with it. Don't post ugly comments in a website, it is obviously not gonna get no where and it doesn't speak well for the person or persons leaving the comments, even tho' you are trying to run down another member, it doesn't speak bad of him, it makes you look bad.

On the subject of Barry, how the hell did that come up anyway???
I was with Joe. Joe and Bean work on my truck and I posted the comment. I wasn't with Barry, and not saying Barry got 2nd wasn't anything in the way of a disrespect. Again, if Barry has a problem, let him deal with it, preferrably face to face not on a website, are we girls????

I would like to point out that I also talked about Bean winning and me getting 3rd. What does that have to do with you at all Robert, brad, 2, 4 & 8? Did it occur to you that it has nothing to do with you or, is that the problem?

I posted all of it because I was proud of my lil' girl truck and bean and Joes. Truck was built 4yrs ago and hasn't been performance added since. The truck stinks out of the whole, TC tooooo tight, everybody is aware of that, and still makes the crowd stand up and will bring home a trophy every then and again. Talking about outgunned? The litte white truck that could! If someone don't like that, too bad.

I was pullling my daddy's truck, joe & bean helped me do that, i was proud of that, still am.

Instead of worrying about anyone disrespecting Barry, which didn't happen, why didn't you, since you speak for him, come in here and post, " Hey, Good Job Barry on 2nd Place!" instead, you made ugly comments about someone else, which is the disrespect to those others and to Barry.

Note: Next Thursday in Dickson, Let's all wear Pink Bows in our hair!

I speak for Joe cuz i think he has a purty mouth.

Stop with the personal attacks.

Stop with the personal attacks. If you have an issue with a previous employer, take it up with them. DO NOT bring it in this thread.

Let's keep this thread clean and fun.

PM if you disagree.



Hanginglow,

If you joined this board to just use it as a venue for personal attack against former employers,

I can go ahead and take care of that right away if need be.

I hope I am making myself very clear!

 

[BradJ]

Well after a few hours sleep I have been thinking about this and nothing good will come of this. We dont want to drop down a few levels and thats what I think we did. We all know in the long run what is right and wrong. This is all in the past now and we are going into the future. If the mods. can pro rate my account and just send me a refund I will get off the website. That also goes for hanginglow. I am sorry barry was probably affected by this and that is the last thing I wanted.

 

[Parks]

I hate hear that you would prefer to not be a member. I will contact you Tuesday when the offices are open again.

I would like to make a comment, that I do not have a dog in this argument. I do not know anyone personaly that was affected. I think that there are more constructive issues in this thread that can be discusses than who did what or said what. Lets face it, we are all here to have fun and discuss a hobby that we all are into.

So I will let you (bradj and hanginglow) think about and if you still wish to cancel your account on Tuesday, I will do so.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great rest of your holiday.

There is some useful information on this website so I wont be canceling my subscription to the forums. Like I said earlier I have been thinking after some sleep and it was childish on my part. I speak for myself but I assume I speak for everyone when I say I will move on into the future and call this a lesson learned.

 

[JMBryant]

So... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..... What about these fuel prices??:-laf:-laf:-laf

 

[BigPapa]

I'm done. I've said what I meant and meant what I said. Again, I'm done with this.





As for the fuel prices, I'd say you better go buy what you can now cause this hurricane's gonna drive it all back up, at least that's what they'll say. I payed $3. 959 last I payed and it's still there. Come on payday!

3. 96 is a good price considering the situation. I say that your exactly right about the hurricane uping the price again.



Just trying to break the ice again with some small talk

 

[Underwood Tire]

Wow

WOW what a holiday. i dont get the web at home so i missed out on all the banter. i am glad that it all got worked out.



justin



we have diesel at johnson's market at 3. 99. 2 weeks ago it was 3. 96. glad to see it under the 4. 00 mark but i hope it keeps going. we will have to see what the storm brings as well, the price of oil went down to 112bbl over the weekend maybe that will help.

joe

 

[BigPapa]

joe

Just checked and it's at $106. Probably just the calm before the storm. Pun intended.



Scott

 

[JMBryant]

Talking about the fuel deal, how do yall feel about drilling up there in the Artic refuge deal??? I did a little research a while back, and man is it some barren country up there. Adding some oil rigs would help the scenery in my opinion. With the lack of refineries that we have, I just dont know how much it would help us at the pump, but one thing for sure, it aint going to hurt us, if we would get started on building some now.



I know in our construction business, we have been pretty slow for going on a year now, and it seems that every day I hear of other companies laying people off and closing the doors. I sure wish things would get better!!

 

[acook]

No reports on the Dickson pull... I mean mud run.



Enjoyed what little I saw. Then the rain settled in.



Barry, Nail-It looks good with the single stack.



Scott, Thanks for filling in. You left too soon to see the "Mr. 4- HI Show" :-laf You will have to let Joe tell you about that one.

[BigPapa]

Dickson. Let's see, scraped the mud off the track with a road grader, what, 4 times? Sled broke, what, 3 times? Was fun though, hangin' out and talking to everybody. Jumpin' Bean put on a good show in Ol' Smokey. Barry looked good. I left before the Hi/Low Show and I here Slapper was chompin' at the bit to hook when they called it... ... ...



Munfordville, KY, isn't that where we went last year and they were running 2 sleds? That was a good deal, still a long night, but it would have been twice as long with one sled. Are they running 2 again this year or do I need to put the mattress in the back of the truck?



Man that's a long trip, too.

[WadePatton]

I gots some for 3. 85 at the FJ nearest Dalton. Felt like I was stealing it.

 

[WadePatton]

Has anyone heard anything about Meacham's motor being down?

Meacham's motor is on the way back up--bigger and badder than ever. You should see the look in his eyes. Oo.
