OPIE

“I just tried calling you and your phone is still disconnected. If you are still online, call me on your lunch break!”

“Yeah, c'mon Opie! Get with the program!”

“Now let me get this straight......

Opie is on a road trip to Arkansas, his phone is disconnected and he posted today the he is really hung over and is about to puke (again).

Hmmm,,,,,, what a picture that thought conjurs up.”

“Some people are just talented.”

“Mr. Opie

You have mail

:)

(its ok to open it, no bombs LOL)”

“RULZ!”

“and if he dosnt respond to my eamil, im going to email him 10x's a day with nothing but poems, happy puppie faces, cute jokes, photos of hooter girls wearing bunny suits, happy face icons like this one ( )> <( )
(two ducks in a face off)

so opie what do ya think???”

“been too busy to respond today...will when i get a chance.”

“i got ya scared didnt I?

what was it?
the poems or the 2 duck face off?

LOL”

“no..you seem to understand the reason behind my badgering. I am drawing up an Armistice. I'm also trying to find out about getting some UN sanctions and resolutions filed.”

“uumm ok,

so we cool?”

“No use; France will veto it.”

“Hey, I need to get you your CD's. When is good for you?”

“OPIE, I know you have some knowledge of trucking matters.

Is it customary to tip the driver of the freight truck that delivers some freight to your home?

I have about 600 pounds of scaffolding coming today.”

“YOu tip the truck its going to be a B&%Ch to straighten up.....

Stovie by understanding they are at a minimum supposed to Tailboard all their stuff. If they help me offload stuff I usually drop a couple of bucks to them”

“no...if it's an LTL company he is required to put it in your garage if the truck has a lift gate (more $$), if it's a standard height truck, he may only bring it to the back and require you to unload it.
If he's a nice guy and helps you out you can offer to buy him lunch, alot of guys like that...most though will decline the money.”

“He did help me unload from the big rig into the back of my truck.

I was the last one on his run and I asked him if it was beer time now.
He sid hell yes. LOL

I gave him a few bucks to buy him a few beers. He seemed surprized, but pleased.”

“If you can spare it then what the heck?

People always like to know that they are appreciated...share the love when you get a chance. When I was a young fella and had my house built about 15 yrs ago, I went to the house twice a week and had a big bbq for everyone there working on the house. They always thought it was awesome and sometimes they called their wife and asked them to come and eat too!”

“MDSHiker - Sounds like a good idea, although it appears that you were bribing them into doing a good job! If it works, fine.
LOL.”

“You know it !!”
