Window World - Trash Truck

Our neighbor Wille with Lucy the pit-bull. He walks, 3 of them twice a day past our window..

 I rushed to the window when I heard the trash truck, the one with the big CLAW that picks up limbs and trees. the pile of limbs had been there since the Big Guy trimmed the tree. I went to watch the truck, because I love to see how he handles it. 

For the first time ever, the driver walked to the back of the truck with an IPAD just like mine and took two photos of the trash, put it back in the truck and I watched him control the claw. 

I am showing you all the photos I took because each one has a different vehicle, 

Warning, flashing gif below.

Because I could GIF and this is what flies past our window all day long.

New Tires on Truck

 

On Bob's Truck this Tire cost 220.66... I divided the total bill by 4 to get that number.  The tire cost was 164.99, the rest were taxes, dump the old tires fees, the thingy you put the air in the tires with, assorted other fees but they did not charge for the AIR but maybe next time.

Not a good chance of next time though, 

$880.00 for 70,000 Mile Tires, $550.00 for 50,000 miles and B had to have the 70.

the truck is 19 years old and has 74,000 miles on it and

He now puts 20 miles per week.

He is 87, I am 79.

You Do the math... he says these are better tires and look better.

Plus, they have white letters.

PS: the only reason I posted this is for my record keeping. I the future I can search and find how old the tires are, or what kind we bought.

1980 Chevy C-10

 

The group of photos my brother's wife mailed to me, took most of my weekend. After going through the box of old photos, I spent all morning Saturday, taking out all my albums and organizing, moving them into the bookcase under our TV and organizing the cabinet they were in... I found many photos in the albums I had forgotten we had.

We are all of us Truck People, in 1988, The black and white blazer at the back belonged to my 21 years old son Dan. The El Camino truck belonged to my son David, 23-year-old. the step side above was Bobs, but I loved it so much we sold my 78 grand Prix to David, because his El Camino Died Dead on the interstate and I took the Silver Truck naming it the Silver Bullet, due to the fact it had a 401 chevy big block and 4 in the floor transmission.

 Bob bought yet another truck, 1978 GMC Jimmy named James. the tires had 36 inch lifters and I had to rappel up and down to get in it. But I was 43 then. Now there is no way to get me up in it. We sold the 64 Cadilac and bought a mattress, then bought the 78 Corvette in 1987 to lie in the garage he kept the old Cadillac in. None of us at that time had ever owned a new car...

I may or may not have gotten in a drag race with teens driving a 72 Chevy while shopping for groceries and may or may not have raced a man in a truck while driving the Corvette.  We all love speed.

Bob and I got our first ever new truck in 2004, for my 61st Birthday, that still sits in our garage

it still looks like New since it has lived its life inside a garage. And I let bob have it when I bought who knows what. the above truck, bob was driving over the sunshine skyway going to work, and a pelican dove into the windshield, and ended up in his lap, he drove on to work, his clothing and glass in his hair and beard, worked all day, had the insurance come out and put in a new windshield to drive home and I had to brush his hair to get the glass out. 

I think it was because the pelican thought it was blue sky, it was so high and reflected the sky in it.

2004 GMC Serria, 8 cylinder 354 engines. All of the above trucks were fast and gas guzzlers and now i realize we contributed to the climate change that is suffocating us with heat.

Now son Daniel and his wife have twin trucks, 2016 Dodge Ram Trucks. and i drive an Ugly 2007 Kia Sorento SUV. UGH..

Do you name your Cars/Trucks?

1980 Chevy Stepside from internet, not my photos

Trucks above from internet, picture a combo. My truck was identical to the black truck but 2 toned Silver with a Chrome Roll bar, like the blue truck.
Mine was named The Silver Bullet. Aptly named because of the 454 engine, the loud pipes out each side, chrome of course, and 4 in the floor which I KNEW how to use. Out of every stop I made, LOUD AND FAST.

I started selling Real Estate in 1990 and  had to trade it for a FOUR DOOR old person car, that I named UGS. Four door Metallic Brown Pontiac Bonneville. UGLY UGLY named Ugs

Are you picking up the fact my hubby is a General Motors Man?

Bob drove Our  4x4 GMC named JAMES Sr. because the tire were 36 inches and it was the Biggest Car we ever owned. I had to LEAP up to get in it, but at the time I was 40 not an old lady. It would take 3 strong firemen to get me in it now.

I drove James Jr, called Jimmy because it was a normal sized SUV. and of course was a GMC Jimmy. I loved that one also.
Right after the towers went down in 9/11, I was hit my a woman that ran a stop sign, and this is the result. Poor Jimmy rolled 3 times and was towed to the graveyard. I have no photo of Jimmy but these.

Do you name your cars?
