Ah....yes, one could get in trouble for that. Hypothetically, that is.......

Personally I have those cards for more serious matters
Baby blue beater left last night with its new owner.
I was NOT sad to see it go.
I applauded their courage to drive it the 30 miles back to Flint.
They were all impressed that I offered to toss five gallons of fuel in it, so they wouldn't run out.
Little do they know that was the can of "fuelish" type substance that I siphoned out if the plow truck. It was "sort of" gasoline. I guess that makes me "sort of" a nice guy.
"it's fine, it's all fine."

"Nothing to see here. Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave."
How much did it go for?
I'll raise you...
The amount of heat y'all are comfortable with in y'all's winter is really surprising, forget summer...I honestly don't know how you do it.
Well, ~3hr dicking around with the semi, problem is bigger than the mech want to mess with, main risk dumping 4-6 gallons of coolant in the ground..
Coupled with 50-60 mph guests today.
yeah
So..
$1,700. That combined with the scrap copper in the bed we put over $2,100 in her hand this week.
For something she was looking to pay to have hauled away, because they said they'd have to take sections of her fence down.
We're just a bit sick in the head. There are whole cottage industries in place of people hauling parts from down south up north.
Dealing with rust makes a person a better mechanic.
Liar, they just become grumpier.
Youve got to be creative with work-arounds, making one-off tools, repairs you didnt expect, etc....shit like that.
Surprisingly, that still very much happens out here. All my guys get pretty damn creative to beat clock hours
I guess when you buy a snap on traxxas Mini Max, you get a toolbox for free
Nice $10K kiddie car. 
Nice $10K kiddie car.
Exactly!
P-W, my adopted towns' HS, won the Boys Division 3 State title today, 61-57, over Pontiac A&T. They weathered a huge game by #0 (Lovejoy) of A&T, who had 41 of his team's 57 points, and was hitting threes that would've made Stephen Curry proud. Very happy day for this retired UPS guy. The girls are in their own semi-final this next week, so here's hoping there might be two state titles by next Saturday.
Lol we get some of that too. Come down here to the Gulf or any coastal city and see what salt water spray does. I started a demoing the Galveston Causeway and was done in 3 years. We had some brand new equipment mostly industrial generators, compressors and light plants when we started. That was literally a pile of rusty scrap metal in 3 years. All for our big iron looked 20 years old was sent to Richie brothers to be auctioned off. Cranes where all rebuild and repainted.
I always think of that when I see people driving on the beach or just touching the waves with a vehicle. Hell even boat ramps where they back in too far. Salt water gets everywhere.
