dam garbage truck blew its hydraulic system when it was parked in front of my driveway picking up the neighbors trash....

quite the specticle it made this morning....I called 911 cause I wasn't going to have that mess in front of my house....they responded with the hazmat team....I was quite adament about them cleaning up every last bit of hydraulic fluid....I didn't want that crap being tracked in my garage...now the street has a ton of oil dry on it....

 

So how about that sinkhole at the Corvette museum?

Sounds like a mess. At least you can get traction on it. Coy wouldn't be able to spin his tires.

 

Had new shocks put on the truck this morning what a big difference in ride quality.

 

New shocks can extend tire life too

 

And my rear spring packs...... There was a really good case axle wrap running the big tune. If the truck doesn't disappear this summer it's going to get a set of traction bars.

 

you won't regret 'em

 

I would be too (adamant). That stuff can also stink for a very long time. More so on asphalt if given the time to saturate. Specially on those hot sunny days. The sun will bring it right back to the top lol. Just as bad as other oils. Think gear oil stinks the worst lol.

 

Wow! Where was that ? - Kentucky. Maybe it's just me, - it seams like we here about sink holes, -maybe 2-3 times a year , just in this sate (MI).

Water main leaks, Old salt mines. When I was a kid I worked with a Roto-mill crew on the roads. Huge Machine that pulverized asphalt and concrete, - about 105,000 lbs. It had a conveyor system (stinger) at the back of the machine that loaded a truck that followed in reverse. Anyway, the machine took one operator on top and two screw operators at the road surface controlling the cut on each side. I was operating the screw at the time. That machine was close to 12' tall. All of the sudden that entire machine drop about 7'. Nobody hurt, just freaked out lol. Most of all because we couldn't see the bottom of the sink hole below. The only thing holding the machine from dropping further was the stinger on the back (conveyor). The Machine was wedged at the top of the sink hole lol.

Just something I'll never forget!

 

I knew GM was sinking...but geez!

 

And it's STILL open

 

"OPEN" being the operative word here!

 

 

we shall see...

 

Nearly to Athens. By myself this time.
