Moderators dtel Posted November 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 29, 2015 Sitting in my bud's barber shop dowtown, barber steve says, you should to geeet yourself some airhorns on that thing. My neighbor/friend had a dump truck, i got him a "starter" set of air horns for his birthday, he loved it. But it was a mistake by me, he would pull up to the house early in the morning when he wanted to do something and blow the horn. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, spiderman stated, "With power comes responsibilty" This i have, and must continue to live with, i can blow people into the street, crash cars, cause untold havick. Yes indeed, i installed my "Clayton" Valve on the floorboard where in order to "pull it" i need to flip up two midconsole seats. Thank god i did this, we all have people that deserve the use of a "FullPull", if i could have gotten to this Valve one more than once, i would be in jail. I do let the farmers know im coming (wile on the freeway) 2.5 miles......as the crow flys. Edited November 30, 2015 by minermark 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted November 30, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2015 Even the small horns can get really loud, I have to say once while riding with him someone started to pull out in front of us and he blew the horn, i think it really helped prevent the accident. Somewhere on you tube is videos of people blowing large horns scaring unsuspecting people, it's pretty funny. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted November 30, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) That's true, I remembered the loudest horn I have ever heard and knew I had a pic. A ship horn, couldn't get any closer but it's a good size electric motor, where the pic is from is not where you want to be when it goes off.

DizRotus Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Good Monday morning. It's been decades since I've had an alcohol fueled hangover, after way way too many in the 70s. I find that too much food can result in a hangover also. My theory is that excess amounts of alcohol or food requires your body to rid itself of the excess, which disrupts sleep, which generates a hangover. I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but that's my theory and experience. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
