  1. Logging Trucks and Trains don't mix.....

    in Pub Talk

    Posted

    The craziest thing I've seen in a long time. We have a horse racing track in our fire district. They were receiving a load of gravel, while the truck was tipping it's trailer, it fell on its side. The driver was on uneven ground. When the truck tipped on its side, the stack on the cab went through a window in he horse barn. The truck couldn't have been in a better spot, the trailer missed the corner of the building and the stack was the only thing that damaged the building, just knocking out the window. If it would have been a foot forward or back ward it would have taken that structure out and knocked a large sprinkler pipe as well.

    What was even more impressive was watching the tow company upright the rigs.

  2. Do people actually fall for this on Ebay?

    I buy a lot on eBay, and I get some pretty good deals, but that requires knowing what other things cost. There's a lot of stupid sellers that you look at a post like really??? You think I'm stupid? But then there's some great deals on there. eBay is cluttered with people trying to rip stupid people off, you just have to sift through all the BS.

  3. Black Friday tool shopping!!!

    I bought my tv a few years ago at bestbuy, it wasn't a door buster but I got a good deal on it. Was it worth waiting like 3 hours in the cold? Probably not, I prefer shopping in my boxers with a cup of coffee of the Irish variety than dealing with people.

    I'm with you Hugh! Unfortunately, Mrs. Conductor revels in the madness and thrives in the chaotic nature of it all.

    Black Friday is to my wife what a full moon is to a werewolf. It unleashes something inside of her not seen at any other time in the year.

    What this means is that Conductor's ass will be in line at

    Toys 'R' Us for 5+ hours in the cold waiting for a fantastic bargain on some shit I don't even need, all while Mrs. Conductor sits in the warm car with her mother and my mother and plot their strategy like they're getting ready to invade Normandy.

    That my friend is why thermoses were invented to put hot tea and whiskey in it for consumption to tolerate the high levels of stupidity and ignorance you will encounter.

  10. First signs of snow

    I think the news over exaggerated the snow here in Denver by let's say 100 times over!!! You can't get a fair forcast from a metorogist to save your life. 5" from midnightish to 8am and it was all gone by 11am. I could go on and on about the weather here, but as they say.... "If you don't like the weather, wait a couple of hours it will change". This morning for example was 32 degrees with a projected high of 50-55... so why was it 68 around noon? Smh!

    Ha ha I hear you, I heard something in passing on good morning America and then my boss mentioned it who used to live in Denver, buts it's Denver you guys always get snow lol

  19. New Dewalt XR serie

    I just did a review on it last night, and will upload in the next week or so. It's pretty sweet, I'm very impressed by its size / form factor.

    It's impressive how so much power comes out of that smaller drill, I wonder if it's smaller than the m12 fuel drill now

    Disagree. The DCD995 caught up to the Gen1 FUEL model, the Gen 2 FUEL has leaped ahead again, and caught up to Makita / Metabo's top models.

    True that, the new gen 2 makes me jealous
