No matter how tired you are, it's not a good idea to.............

No matter how tired you are, it's not a good idea to.........toss your corks across the cab into the passenger floorboard if there is even the slightest possibility that there is a brand new can of carb cleaner under that paper bag.

Please don't ask me how I came to this conclusion. The good part is it was only an hour and 15 minute drive home.

Andy, I thought you knew better than that. Toss your calks in the back of the pickup...right on top of a brand new jug of bar oil. Or maybe a can of log marking paint.

No, but it was pretty durn chilly with both windows rolled down.

Haha. That's why I put them up front tonight, I knew there were 3 brand new jugs of bar oil back there somewhere.

I always seem to get the bar oil jugs with a falling dog... I try to keep them in milk crates now, it helps but...

Now I have driven home many a time with my calks on... grabbing the brakes can be interesting, and the war dept. doesn't appreciate me wearing them in the house in fact she would probably hurt me if I did

I got a bar oil jug with a hot muffler one time. Melted right through...

I have not ruined my day this way yet. I appreciate the heads-up.

Wonder if they make slip on caulk protector things?

They do...they're called Romeos. Or, more often these days, sneakers. Or Crocs.

When driving from one sale to the next, I wore my calks and never had any problems. The fleet people didn't care for the bare pedals though. Too bad....

Yup. If we were cutting roadside stuff where we had to move the pickups a lot we wouldn't bother taking off the calks. I'd usually either get a couple of extra rubber pads for the pedals or wrap them with duct tape. Most of the time it was duct tape. Calks play hell with floor mats too so I'd look for an old truck mudflap to thrown on the floor. LOL..that's one way to tell a logger's pickup...woodpecker floor mats.

After you drop $1,400.00 on new tires for the truck you should not step on onto one of those shiny new tires to reach something in the bed of the truck while wearing your nice sharp climbing spikes. You might slip, spike might go through the sidewall. If this happened the tire might go flat in about thirty seconds. All conjecture though on my part, never known anyone to do that, just speculation, someone would have be a real idiot to mess up like that.

Also, I have better luck with fine china teacups than I do with bar oil jugs. :shakes head:

taught my partner to climb a few years ago, his first step was dead square with the brand new garden hose he was using to water his garden...

also note wandering around in the bed of a pickup with calks on is also a good way to get yelled at or get a bumpy ride to the emergency room

A sheet of plywood is a good thing to have in the pickup bed.

Shoot, that couldn't ruin my day. Just made the ride home a little less enjoyable.

Hahaha. Duct tape, and mudflap's. I guess things work pretty much the same everywhere.

taken out my share of fuel and oil jugs with my chains . just kinda pitch a saw in the back when your burnt and it will happen.

 

[imagineero]

had a customer give us some cans of coke a few weeks ago, they were warm so we just sat them in the cab and forgot about them. Fast forward to last week and one of them rolled down off the seat and hit something on the floor, kabooooom! :-(

Don't forget about stepping on your wife's dogs paw on accident with calks on and think it was a little funny till you realize she is watching you through the kitchen window and some where during that stare you remember how crappy it is living in your wall tent late in the fall, hmmm glad that was not me
