Todd B Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I took today off to get some vintage playground equipment I have been restoring installed on my land before the Luau. I needed several bags of Quikcrete (2300#) and my crews had all of my work trucks on site. The only vehichle I had left was my Harley and my semi. So I took my Semi to Fleet Farm and loaded the concrete in the back of my Trailmobile trailer. I told the kid on the forklift if he scratches my paint I will cut his nuts off. He quickly replied he wanted to keep them and handled it perfectly. This is the only thing other than cleaning supplies and beer since I restored in 2001. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanksB3B Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) I'm really enjoying using my truck for what it was made to do. I'll have to take a picture of my pegboard Bed Floor Protectors. The holes in the pegboard act as drilled rotors and I can drive all over town without things sliding all over the place. That and a new Movers Blanket works great for flip-top contaners and lumber. I do want to design/fabricate some removeable inner sidewall truck bed wall liners.

Merle Coggins Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Good job Todd. I'm sure that kid was pretty nervous loading up that skid. Mark, It's not considered hauling stuff until it squats the springs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work Todd. 48D Wait...I'm confused, he took the semi not the Harley..Tim can't you come up with something better like a bed full of hay or steer manure and put all us City Pilothouse Slickers to shame. I expect more from you Tim. Hank Edited June 25, 2014 by HanksB3B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBF Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I've got a picture of mine hauling an outhouse that I bought. I'll scan it and post it. Does that qualify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanksB3B Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I've got a picture of mine hauling an outhouse that I bought. I'll scan it and post it. Does that qualify? I guess it depends on whether the outhouse is full or empty. Let's see it ! Hank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big50Dodge Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 springs squatted Aww, C'mon, you only have about 20 'sticks' in there. Might have been able to carry more. You are brave out on the ice with your truck.. How much maple syrup do you make (approximately) per season..? My mom just stopped making it 2012 season. From the tubes and 55 gallon container, I'm going to guess you make more than the 12 or so gallons my mom made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 well since my 2 door garage door decided to have the springs break last night...I had to drive FEF to work and haul some wood for a project....I can now say I've hauled wood! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanksB3B Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hello Mark, Living Dangerously Eh ? Hank P.S. I've made a folding 2 piece 1/4" pegboard protective liner for my truck. The holes act like a drilled brake rotor and keep items from sliding around. (works great) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd B Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Mark, you need to just get it over with and put a scratch in that pretty floor. Then you can use the truck what it was built for. I am sure your Grandpa would be smiling if you loaded it down with a nice big load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the tubes and 55 gallon container, I'm going to guess you make more than the 12 or so gallons my mom made. probably could have fit a few more sticks on, but it was pushing 4 tons. the ice was over 20" thick, so not too brave. and it's only about 3 feet of water. so, if it went through, it wouldn't have been catastrophic. average syrup production since 1980: 17 gallons. best year: 1993 (30 gallons). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desotodav Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Probably a little bit off topic but well worth the laugh... surely people can't be that dumb! The attached picture came to me via email with a caption 'would you tell him or just watch - one of those truly difficult decisions'...
