Title: None of Us Do This
Post by: Mojo on August 08, 2013, 06:31:11 am
I can pretty much guarantee that there isn't one of us who does this let alone ever done this in our lifetime.

Bob Kovar sent me this video and the machine you see inside the tractor is one identical to one of the machines he has in his collection.

Pretty cool idea:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zNmztSvG-Lw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zNmztSvG-Lw)

Enjoy,

That was fun!  I checked out her blog, and she has a really cool idea for converting a domestic machine into a flat bed using 2" styrofoam insulation sheeting with a smooth aluminum foil covering:

Well I hope that video isn't seen by anyone who travels I-270 NW of Washington DC, I've seen women drivers putting on makeup, doing their eyelashes etc. and have heard of men drivers shaving, and someone once said they saw someone clipping their toenails. I've been known to catch up on my reading but only when traffic slows to a crawl, which is a good bit of the time.

Think of all the work I could get done if I could get one of those for my delivery van.

Kinda makes me think of a friend thats a boat captain. He was towing some barges of peanut oil to malta from the east coast. That had to be more boring than weeding that field !!! Have to ask him what he did to pass the time , probably sat tv with all the electronics on the tug.
