QFT!! :rotflm:
Man it was cold. I've experienced some cold weather in the past, but your brain starts hurting with this kind of temperature.Saturday AM dawned, and we went in search of that warmer weather. Unfortunately, when the door to the room was opened, it was a balmy 16 degrees.... BELOW ZERO!!! Yup, that wasn't a typo, that -16 and we ain't talking wind chill either.
...as did Scott...We arrived at Grizzly a few minutes before they opened, and Bas posed for the obligatory Grizz photo:
It seemed like EVERYBODY knew who were were;
Wel, I was sort of anxious to get going. Believe me, the last thing I want to do is prevent someone from buying tools But Scott had e-mailed Grizzly a list of big items. And a list of smaller items. And an addendum to the list. And he revised the list while in the showroom. AND loaded up a shopping cart with "snackables".n safely say that I would have spent at least 2 -3 hours more (not to mention additional $$$) had Bas not been around to save me from from my fate.
Here's Bas on the trailer, lamenting the fact that I was still taking photos when it was 4 hours past his lunch time!
With 12,000 pounds of tools and a 7ft crate sticking out on top, plus a nice cold breeze we had to get diesel quite often. And not everyone sells it. I gotta admit Scott, maneuvering a fully loaded rig through slick back alley's like that, there were a couple of times when I thought - we're going to get stuck. Absolutely awesome job.but it did get a little exciting when we ended up in some little town in PA trying to find diesel and turn around a 65' rig on those narrow, snow and ice covered streets).
Whew - what a trip! It's a good thing that Bas decided not to buy any equipment, because there wasn't a whole lot of space left on the trailer deck!
Neither of us knows how to shut up.and the conversation never lagged.
Man, my gloats are usually something along the lines of "I bought a ___________ today."
Yours involves DRIVING TO PENNSYLVANIA IN -16 DEGREE WEATHER WITH A 64' FLATBED (AND BACK). :swoon::swoon::swoon::swoon::swoon::swoon::swoon::swoon::swoon::swoon:
I think after this, I'm never posting a gloat ever again. :no:
I'm glad you guys had a good trip and made it back safe. "You Rock" or "You Suck" doesn't pertain to extreme gloats like this. :thumbs_do There are no words in the English language in any combination or quantity that would give you the pats on the back that you deserve, so all I can say is nice score!!! :thumbs_up:thumbs_up:thumbs_up:thumbs_up:thumbs_up:thumbs_up:thumbs_up:thumbs_up:thumbs_up:thumbs_up
