It's like trailer parks and tornadoes.  There is some unexplainable attraction.  Or is it really an evil plot?

 

I had just finished washing my truck, and was taking some pix of the CB antenna I installed.  Then blammo...

If I were paranoid I'd swear that bird was aiming for me, but I know the b@st@rds have it in for my truck.  As I drive back roads I can hear the crows cawing "White Truck, White Truck!!!".  

 

So whadaya think?  Unexplainable attraction or EVIL Plot.

hmm, I would have to say evil plot. I just washed my truck and a bird, no a hawk, took a huge sh*t on my truck. I will take a picture of it for you and post it sometime. It is huge!!

We don't even notice that anymore.  You'd be hard pressed to find a windshield on the place that a bird hasn't attacked.  All comes from our garage being open all the time and the machine shed open all day long, birds fly in and sit on the rafters and just have a hayday crapping all over everything in sight.  Not much a guy can do about it, we tried the fake owl thing, that lasted about three days.  Tried that goo, kept the birds out but dripped off all over the vehicles and machinery, so we ended up scraping it off.  Too scared to go bird hunting inside buildings with all the $$$ stuff we have stored in there.  All thats left is to put up with it.

Bait them with some poisoned food up in the rafters.  That's what we did in the old aircraft hangar we worked in. About 100,000 square feet of pigeon free hagar.

Oh yeah, evil plot, no question!!!

 

"pilot to bombadier, pilot to bombadier!"  

 

There's nothing ?funnier than watching a Blue Heron take off, and needing to lighten the "load", and drop a 20-30 foot long "rope" of the stuff that covers a huge area!  You want to talk about a mess!  :thumbs:

It's an evil plot alright.  They always seem to know if you just washed or if you are riding with the top down.  I watched from my rearview mirror this morning as the couple in the 'stang conv. behind me gets bombed.  Got both driver and passenger.  The birds also tend to aim for my wife's Odyssey much more for some reason. ???

Wouldn't you simply wind up with the bird attached to the bird poop all over the windshield  :thumbs:

You know, it has to be a conspiracy!!!

 

Where I park the truck next to the garage, there isn't a tree.  Yet somehow TWICE in the past two weeks they've managed to hit the truck.  Now you're probably thinking no big deal, the truck is pretty big and they can hit the hood, roof, etc....NOOOOOOOO, both times it has been on the driver's side, on the bed wall and the last time just under the window on the extended cab.  Not to mention this bird must've eaten another bird, cause this doody was huge!!

 

Point was, the difference in the air of hitting the side of the truck, and the ground was probably less than an inch, yet they managed to hit it both times!!!

 

HOW????  I'm hardly that accurate at 30 yards with my pistol at the range, yet these birds aren't even trying!!!

lol, yeah I usually have that happen after I wash my truck.  But right now my truck is so dirty since I haven't washed it in over a month that birds avoid crapping on it and go after clean vehicles. :thumbs:

Is this an evil plot by Sincity? :thumbs:  He freely admits it.  I think he's looking for more followers.  :angry:  :thumbs:

      Gas Prices

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
