I Hired An Installer Today


This is his truck









In all my years never seen a guy with one of these.
Not sure what to make of it.
Good, bad , indifferent.
he is a good guy and have known him for a long time. He sure is proud of it, this is for sure.

Looks like that cat is serious about his binness.
I'm a little more than pissed that I didn't get a shot at the position, but such is life. Hope it works out for ya.

Re: I Hired An Installer Today


That is a nice rig, although I would not want something that large. Apparently he is not worried about the size of his carbon footprint

You wouldn't come help if I bought you a ticket. Are you changing your stance on your fear of planes? Hmmmm?

That thing is a butt load of drawers all neatly organized with a bunch of stuff. I peaked in one drawer and he had about 12 tape measures. No joke. I stopped looking after that.

Wow... nice ride...

What kind of craftsman is he?

I'm curious to know his personality. Sometimes what you drive is a reflection of that...

I hope he's not compensating for anything by driving a MASSIVE truck...

Geez, what does he deliver propane in the winter months? I could never drive that. Maybe once or twice, but I like my speed too much.

Hey Gus, the way I see it, you got about 4 days to get that new van geared with a couple cots, a wet bar and a stripper pole for the ladies we pick up along the way.
Yee frickin' ha!
