What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

"A line of Generals at the ready! According to Tom Sarmento, the lead mechanic for the Dukes of Hazzard transportation crew, filming each episode required:
6 General Lees
8 patrol cars
2 Uncle Jesse pickup trucks
2 Daisy Jeeps
2 Boss Hogg Cadillacs
6 other cars/trucks for Cooter, bad guys, and automotive chaos.
Not all cars were stunt cars, and "hero" cars were pampered. But because mishaps could happen, backup vehicles for both the first and second filming units had to be ready on demand. This kept the show production on schedule, despite the demo-derby nature of each episode.
Mr. Sarmento, we salute ya! And your crew!"

"Enos...you dipstick!"

 

The only thing that would make that truck better would be if it dumped

 

Must be a spanking new truck?

 

My daughter complained about laundry and it takes so long.. 3rd time I had enough
this is a double sink
Wash side with a wash board
Rinse side with wringer next to it
Clothes line … complain again I dare you

 

who said she doesn't?

 

Beautiful picture (not mine) of the Maersk Mobilizer in St.John's Harbour. That's the one thing I miss about working in town, I don't get to see the big ships as often anymore.

 

What are you thinking, rocks on the creekbank?

 

I think he is saying he showed her it could be harder and take longer to do laundry than using machines.

 

No it’s in my Barn from grandmothers house; how she did it into 40s without electricity. I have normal washer Dryer.. I got tired of whining

 

You know without electricity; she knows I would do it

 

I remember when grandma still had one of those! When they got her a stackable washer dryer for upstairs she used it, but said it didn't work as well as the old one

 

I forget not everyone grandfather lived on farm used horses, no electricity etc. family sold it farm in 70’s but made friends with new owners and still have yearly picnics on land

 

Now Dennis I am not saying you’re old.. But you remember before electrical appliances.

My father purchased land; 29 acres on top of mountain and never put in sewer and electricity. So his kids understood that harsh life style

 

Has she been "spending a bit more time at home" after those accidents?

 

Yeah; FT job, fiancé in USMC living and learning adulting.. you know the hard ones $ and time management.. heck most adults don’t have those figured out..

her choice of vehicle went from European sports car to Toyota Camry; 2 months ahead on monthly payments; in case life happens

 

I have two wash boards put up for shtf. A large one and a lil one.
