How Not to get logs
« on: March 12, 2008, 12:13:17 pm »


Wasn't me, but I am proud of whoever did it! And, thanks to my buddy Hoss, who took the pic. I was proud of him, because he said he THOUGHT of me, when he took the pic!

They had to CUT the tongue off of the truck, because AFTER they went into the rest area, and came out and TRIED to go, it had ALL fallen down! The tongue was all kinked up.

Say, how many logs can you get into a VW bus?

Broken down Bronco Bruce


Hey SD,

How did you know I had an old Ford Bronco that had 243,000 + miles on it before everything started leaking at once?  Had that thing for 13 years before it basically gave up on me.

 :o A friend of mine says that whether you go to college or learn the hard way, educations cost money. ;) :D

I don't know what kind of pine that is, if it was around here, it would be red pine. Not exactly as light as white. ;)

From the height of the uprights they could have been planning on a bigger load. :o  Or maybe they lost some already. ::)  One question, did they pull their plate on the trailer?  Maybe they are going to cut their losses and run. :D

As much as I detest the DOT cops around here, deep down I know that they are there to try and protect everyone from people like this.

Now if we could only find the owner and obtain the correct wieght, we could take guesses on the wieght. The one closet to the correct wieght could win a prize. :D

It might just be me, but I don't think you are supposed to fell the trunks across the trailer...loads faster that way tho'...
