Legal if you have a commercial license for doubles.

Maybe only one driver.  Maybe wanting to save money on fuel,  driving only one rather than two.  Or, if two people have CDLs, split the driving.

Maybe it's in Aussie land, and he's learning to drive one of those land trains.

LOVE IT!  Perfect for family night at the drive-in.

 

I just want to see how it's tarped or covered when not in use.

Since it's built on a dump truck frame, just lower it back down. It looks like, that except for the canopy above the top bench, when it's flat on the bed again everything is going to be lower than the top of the cab. Just drive it under a carport.

I find this both funny and deeply disturbing.

I am so stealing this!

 

Had a buddy over to learn from my first attempt in building an AR upper. Not a spring, but there is a pin to drive into the gas block to secure the gas tube. It was at this moment I learned I needed something called a pin starter punch...

 

I struck my (not starter) punch with the hammer, and the pin disappeared. I heard it strike the wall, then another wall, then here and there several more times. I instantly froze and tuned my ear for wherever it might be going...

 

And then I was able to turn around, reach over less than three feet, and pick up the pin off the windowsill behind me. This time I held it with a pair of pliers while starting it. I researched, learned about, and ordered a set of starter punches the next day.

 

But the feeling of spring in the air? Yes, I get that, I have had that feeling.

I've seen several M-60 operating Rod Springs fly.

Dean Martin once said if you can lie on the floor without hanging on you're not drunk! 🤪

[Rip Snorter]

The man played a role, and amusingly.  He could not have done the things he accomplished if he was a drunk. Do some research.

Back in my Army Reserve days, I was training on the disassembly and reassembly of the 1911. We still had them until the mid-nineties. At any rate, I'm explaining that the recoil spring can go flying if one is not careful. About that time, it went flying. After the laughter died down, I just continued as I walked and picked it up, "As I was saying..." I'm pretty sure my face was bright red.

That's why I painted my workshop floor white.
Makes finding stray pins and Jesus springs slightly less difficult.

How to find dropped items on the floor.

 

Step one - turn off the light

 

Step 2 - turn a flashlight on and lay it on the floor so the beam is going across the floor.

 

Step 3 - slowly rotate the flashlight. Whatever you are looking for - a primer, a #2 screw, a straight pin - whatever it is will cast a shadow when the light hits it.

 

I picked up that handy bit of information from a "helpful hints" column in Outdoor Life back in the early seventies. It has come in handy many many times.

I learned it from a scale modeling magazine long ago.

That reminds me of SPOC. That was a band that played at a huge gathering of illegal pot growers, and they explained the name meant Someone Protect Our Crops. At the end of the gathering they stood up when the rest of the cops walked in and arrested the growers. Seems it really DID say "cops" on it after all...

Most times you're just going to find that you really need to sweep up more often.

Umm, let me just throw in, do NOT stand behind an M2HB if you take that back plate off, and the spring is charged...you will die...

Saw that on "Cops" once. Another one I've seen is that they'll send somebody who's wanted a certificate saying that they've won a new T.V. or something, just come to such and such an address, with their I.D. and pick it up.

I didn't disassemble / reassemble the Ma Deuce or the Mk. 19 except in training a couple of times leading up to my last deployment. I was thankful there was someone around who knew what they were doing. I did enjoy shooting them though!

You've obviously done the research already so just give us the results and save us the time.😉

He had his attributes and showed his faults. Much like most of us.
