Purple! Because Ice cream has no bones!

Now if it was not a long trip, the car from ZZTop would be a cool ride. My brother took me to see ZZ Top from the Elininator sometime in the late 80s.

Been out of state for a couple weeks, it's good to be home and back in the shop.

Found a little knife along the way.

Welcome home John! I think you might need a small herd of cattle to make a sheath for that full size Booooowie. I recommend you hand sew the sheath to keep the whole package very “traditional.” 🤣

I hope all is well with the family and that your trip was fruitful.

Phil
 
Thanks Phil, a somewhat fruitful trip.

I think I found the right cow, I've just gotta find the right tannery.

My new forge talking to the FedEx guy after it falls off his truck.....

Long story short I get a call from a guy that found a box with my name on it laying in the road in the middle of nowhere. Earlier that day Fedex had delivered box 1 of 2 and couldn't find box 2 for some reason, can't imagine why😆

One of my favorite scenes too, always cracks me up. Can't tell you how many times I've said "Not so much here but here..." 🤣

Box wasn't ran over but you could tell it tumbled a couple of times in the corners, also dented a 3/16" steel forge door. When the delivery guy was at the house looking for the missing package he started stacking other ones on the roof of his van to make room to search. I can only guess that the same technique was used at previous deliveries and my box was left up there only to fly off at 60 miles an hour later and took a couple of good bounces.

Same about that part of the movie, I’ve quoted it many times haha. Many other parts of the movie as well haha. One of my other favorites when David Spade backs the car up and bends the door forward. Farley opens the door and it falls off “What’d you do???” 🤣

Shameful stacking tactics! The Ol box on the roof trick 😞 ugh….. That would probably do it! Poor thing

We lost Farley far too soon. 😢 He was firggin' hilarious!!!
 
I had the desire for some reason to watch Tommy Boy earlier tonight after reading you initial post. Unfortunately it was paid rental only online. Guess I’ll have to watch it later. Dirty work is a pretty funny movie too, been years since I’ve seen it NS now overdue. I also like Norm McDonald haha.

Quite often when you see or hear about that kind of damage, or like with you, it’s found at/on the road in another location,

It’s because the driver failed/forgot to close his rear door, or properly secure the latch.

Away he drives, hits a bump or bounces, the rear door opens, and he has no idea that packages are falling out the back.

Saw that happen to other guys a few dozen times throughout my career.

Sorry that happened to you.

I called the company in Colorado yesterday morning and told them about it, replacement parts are already on the way and the tracking shows that it arrived in Cut Bank this morning and delivery is today, that's nuts even coming from Colorado. I noticed they used UPS this time.
