Who needs a pickup??

I’m driving down the road today, and in front of me I see a van loaded with a ladder and one of those contraptions used to lift shingles onto a roof.  Upon close inspection, I see the ladder is going through the roof of the van.  I’m like, “OK”…

So upon closer inspection, sure enough:  the roof of the van has been literally removed.  Appears as if Bubba got hold of a “blowtorch and a pipe” and “went medieval” on the van.  I know, I should be the last making a comment about modifying a vehicle – after all, I’ve done things to bowtie6 that people wouldn’t do to a farm animal.

I finally had a chance to pass the van, and the side of the roof looked really bad.  Actually it looked like a jumbo sized can of pork-n-beans hacked with a dull can opener.  The fellow behind the wheel looked like he had not a worry in the world.  I admire that.  He had a need to carry his tools, selected an unconventional way to solve the problem and carried on.  I say Bubba did well.

Dialogue…

I’ve received some private comments regarding the frame failure via email…

I’m all good with private messages.  Matter of fact, I really look forward to them.  However, I would like to remind you I’ve set this blog up to accept replies. At the end of each entry, there is a link appropriately named “Leave a comment”.  When clicked, you will be prompted with your name, email address (don’t let that worry you) and your comment.  The email address stays private and will not be used to do any spam mailings.  Your comment will then be put on a queue and will be moderated, with a reply from me.

The emails I have received would have made an excellent “conversation” that would have in turn been of interest to others.  My goal here is not to compete with the full blown forums (that would be way too ambitious).  Instead, I’m hoping we can establish some type of dialogue where folks can read and ask about some of the experiences I’ve gone through on this endevour of mine.  After all, if you didn’t find this of some interest you would not be here in the first place!  😉
