This one is for my neighbour. Before he left to serve in Afghanistan, he talked about getting a pickup truck when he returned. He's back safe and sound, and there's a new Ford F150 sitting in his driveway!   more...I was searching for a new project, when I came across this Joe Diffie song.
Pickup Man
Well I got my first truck, when I was three,
Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees
Hauled marbles and rocks, and thought twice before
I hauled a Barbie Doll bed for the girl next door
She tried to pay me with a kiss I began to understand,
There's just something women like about a PickUp Man
When I turned sixteen, I saved a few hundred bucks
My first car was a Pickup Truck
I was cruisin' the town and the first girl I seen
Was Bobbie Jo Gentry the homecoming queen
She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab, and said
"I never knew you were a Pickup Man!"
You can set my truck on fire, and roll it down a hill
But I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville
I've got an eight foot bed that never has to be made
You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
I met all my wives in traffic jams,
There's just something women like about a Pickup Man
Most Friday nights, I can be found
In the bed of my truck on an old chaise lounge
Backed into my spot at the drive-in show
You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow
I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand,
'Cause there's just something women like about a pickup Man
You can set my truck on fire, and roll it down a hill
But I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville
I've got an eight foot bed that never has to be made
You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
I met all my wives in traffic jams,
There's just something women like about a Pickup Man
A bucket of rust, or a brand new machine
Once around the block and you'll know what I mean
You can set my truck on fire, and roll it down a hill
And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville
I've got an eight foot bed that never has to be made
You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
I met all my wives in traffic jams,
There's just something women like about a Pickup Man
Yeah, there's something women like about a Pickup Man.
Owww, Drive that pickup son...

A trip in my van

Josh got a ride in a big truck on Saturday!

Hilarious! This little boy is trying to say truck but keeps saying the F word.

unloading a crane in an unusual way

Steer with the throttle and hunt bears with a stick. Just out fooling around in the snow with my pickup truck.

I can't talk in this. Driving like this actually takes a lot more concentration then riding.

I'm uploading a picture of the truck in the photos section that I took on the way home for those of you who are curious.  less

Test video of a truck crashing into a barrier. Apparently, it's a 16,000 pound Ford dump truck crashing into a military barrier going 55 MPH.

The local Napa store in Prior Lake, Minnesota hosted a monster truck smash last weekend! The Shortarmguy Family sat in the grass near the parking lot and prayed like mad that the truck wouldn't roll   more...over our heads. These are the highlights!  less

That looked unpleasant, to say the least.
