When I was a teenager and we played with trucks in the mud, it seemed the Fords went through the mud better. Then again our Ford would get stuck on wet grass and the Chevys wouldn’t.Meridian_Mike wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 8:54 pmLOL....PigStikr wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 8:45 pm Kinda like MW or MayoI had a friend that bought a brand new Chevy 4x4 in 03 we was working dawgs and he stuck it on snow mobile lane I had told him not to go down... after an 8 + mile walk bak out of there I got a strap out of the shed drove back in there with my 92 Ford 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive snatched that new 4x4 Chevy out that truck had less than 200 miles on it!!!

My kinda story!
.
Similar story....
When I was about 25, I was just driving down the road on a fall Saturday in my '81 Ford 4x4. I saw a guy in a Toyota stuck up to the body in a WET mud hole. I went back and offered help. I backed up to his bumper....IN the same mud hole. We chained the trucks together and I pulled him out. When he came up to thank me said, "man, this truck will PULL. I never even got my truck started before you pulled me out!"......
LOL..... FUN!!

As a kid, I drove Ford trucks. So one day, my Dad's cousin ask me what I was doin' drivin' a sorry ole Ford truck.
I told him I liked Fords.
He said, "I would rather tote a Chevy bumper down the road than drive a Ford."
I laughed....
I thought, "yep, you probably would be toting a Chevy bumper 'cause the rest of the truck is broke down."
LOL.....

Thanks woodwalker. I wore insulated coveralls when it was cold. A great job but called out with every storm. Glad it brought back good memories.

Re: what do ya'll look like?
Actually when there were special events in our entertainment district I was the one changing the lights. They do have a manual control for such times. But the sequence can't be altered or the length of the yellow. But most of the time it was changing them when they were burned out. I tried to get them to flash green and red at the same time for Christmas but no one liked my idea.Meridian_Mike wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 3:17 pmSO.....

Re: what do ya'll look like?
Ridgegrass,
There's a 45 year span in the pictures and all that changed is the color of your mustache.
Interesting groups, T J Murphy would have liked to compare notes with you. Miss that ol' Bluegrass picker.
