    Ha Ha. I've done the same thing. I carried a big Ponderosa round home on my shoulder while was walking my dog a couple weeks ago. It was in the road. I told my wife I was preventing a car accident!

    Ha ha. Ironically, between firewooding, my job and working out - I can’t keep weight on. I’m pounding handfuls of pretzels as we speak:rofl: :lol:

    Interesting timing! I saw a split right near the corner of Cook Hill and Jones Road yesterday. Thought it was a paper bag at first.

    Mine wasn't a split, but it might be plural.

    I passed an S10 piled way high speeding up Jerry mtn road. I was thinking he would lose half his load by the time he reached the top not to mention the splits that would get run over and thrown up in the air and smash windshields. Those two dude’s were in a serious hurry to get their meth bucks.
