Good morning guys. A nice rain free morning in the steel city
I was talking to my nephew Jimmy a master plumber since 1988 about service trucks what the best he's had or worse
1747229713136.jpeg
He said the absolute worse was a brand new 1998 Toyota t100 4cyl 5 speed
I asked why
He said well after working 12 hours on a massive overhead 2" ductile iron gas line job
His boss made and paul his helper
Go to the supply house and get like 200ft of pipe a pickup their pipe threader at the shop to save time
For the next day.
No room in the bed so Paul puts it on the roof rack
So they head home.
Jimmy gets it up to about 70 it takes forever because it had bedside boxes full of tools and fittings it was grossly overloaded before the gas pipe was added.
Paul's asleep by then and Jimmy is adjusting the radio going into a long right hand curve they drive every day.
He hears the tires start squealing and bam the pipes break loose paul had tied them with a nylon rope he didn't strap them down.
They rolled up to the left side the truck starts to roll that's when Paul wakes up screaming his lungs out
Jimmy said it felt like minutes trying to get control he tried to hit the brakes but it rolled over even more Paul tried to climb out of the passenger window but lost his grip and fell on Jimmy screaming the whole time.
The weight of him doing that pulled them into the oncoming lane
The truck went off the left side of the road and popped the tire off the rim
That dug it in and it settled down.
Jimmy said he smoked a whole pack of cigarettes while changing that tire while Paul cried in the truck.
He told him he had to clean the piss up from his seat
Paul said it was Dr. Pepper
Jimmy said you didn't have a damn Dr. Pepper.

He got high centered crossing a railroad track in that truck
Paul freaked out and took off
Him getting out gave enough clearance to get over the tracks
There was no train or anything
Paul is a pussy.

His boss replaced that truck with a 3/4 ton Chevy van soon after
A much better plumbing rig.

I worked as a Pipefitter's tradesman for a few years. One day I was told to drive the work truck with supplies to a job site. While driving, found out that the lights didn't work and the wipers didn't work. When I got to the jobsite I mentioned this to the foreman and he said that one of the boss's sons was working on it. Apparently the boss's son was working on "re-wiring" everything and never got back to it.

Another time I took another truck loaded with parts and headed to a jobsite, when I got to a 4-way stop, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor, I started pumping away, but nothing. I just sailed through the intersection with a few cars looking on. I finally got it stopped on the side of the road. Apparently the son was working on the brakes of this truck too.

I want a ported pistol I don't own any and this was only 200.00 it was cheaper getting this than a ported barrel/slide for my other Glock.

Good morning. My daughter that had breast cancer and a total mastectomy last year is going today to be biopsied for cervical cancer. I don't know how much more bad news I can take.

Gonna pray for your family every day sir.
