Pointers

[Junkyard Wars Crusher]

I'd like to give a big thank you to Jeff. I went over to test drive the m109 on Sat. morning. Jeff offered to tag along. He made getting the thing running and stopping so easy! It always helps to have someone who knows more than you along.

Gimp,

I was glad to go along. It was fun getting it going. I guess I should share your "thanks" with the members here. Most of what I know was learned by reading here. Besides, if I was really smart, I would have warned you about that "black spit" that comes out of the exhaust stack on start-up

And that "garden-sprayer brake bleeder" has performed perfectly again. That thing is awesome. Thanks Kenny.

You better call your insurance agent and make a stop at the DMV for tags so we can add that thing to the parade next Sunday.

My agent was notified on Friday. I'll have alot of painting and wire troubleshooting to do by then. Thats if I don't go help Oilcan get his from Bigmech. I knew the exhaust spit at start up, I just had my mind on other things. Its killing me waiting till tomarrow.

So if you are already planning insurance and a parade, did you get it? I missed the part saying you did. If so can you bring in by Cleves next August? Good luck! BTW, that would make an excellent camper and tow vehicle for Haspin next year.

 

[gimpyrobb]

I will know today or tomarrow. I have found it better if I notify my agent before I get a new truck rather than after. It doesn't hurt to be posative!

 

[oilcan]

My agent says I'm covered as long as I let them know about it "within a reasonable amount of time" after I get it. I like to have paperwork for that kind of stuff, though.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Made a call @ 10:00. Said I've got the money ready, she said she'd get back to me. Still waiting!

Baited breath

 

[gimpyrobb]

Technically its "bated" and you have NO IDEA!

 

[ARMYMAN30YearsPlus]

Mine smells more like bait after so many cups of coffee. Hope to see this in person someday when you bring it to a show

 

[gimpyrobb]

This waiting in limbo is killin me.

 

[colyork]

well you are dealing with 4 women afterall

 

[ARMYMAN30YearsPlus]

I have three in my family and I have challenged them to one night without yelling and have not had a winning night yet. The funny thing is my two boys and I have no real issue with this although we do box a little now and then

 

[Recovry4x4]

Still no response Gimpyrobb?

 

[gimpyrobb]

Nope still waiting. They can't understand what they are doing to me, I need a beer!

 

[Recovry4x4]

You would think they were shopping for shoes here!

 

[gimpyrobb]

They are shopping for money! I hate this.

 

[WillWagner]

Ditto on the girl thing! Got 3 here. They fight over the air they breathe! gimpyrobb, good luck on the insurance thing. Who are you using?

 

[gimpyrobb]

State Farm. Historic tags, 88 bucks a year full coverage for the m725. She said it would be the same for the m109a3, I said REALLY!? She said why,its the same truck right? (both 67 Kaisers) I told her I'd drive it in. HAHA can't wait to see the look on her face.

Gimpyrobb:
We want to see a picture of you driving the ghetto truck home is it finalized yet?

 

[gimpyrobb]

I am supposed to hear back by tonight at the latest, I'm sure it will go right down to the wire. I REALLY appreciate all the support guys, thanks, and have a good one.
