Chuck P Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Looks like the driver has the A/C on full blast by the looks of the front windshield. My guess is circus tent erector.

blackdog2 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 They cant use Elephants any to do work or to perform in the shows anymore That what Pita says. 1 Quote Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 PITA has their initials correct. Pain in the Ass. I do not believe any animal should be abused by any means. But if they use Elephants for erecting tents that is not abusive fro what I see. Tigers jumping thru hoops looks OK also. Why go to the Circus if no big animals to see. They got rid of the cigarette smoking ping pong Hootchie koochie Girls years ago whats left ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdog2 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 It was show the day before when erecting going on with gentle giants they need exercise to.

HeavyGunner Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Is it one of those rigs that drills a hole then sets off a charge and measures the seismic reading to search for oil? I don't even know how they chose where to punch a hole in the ground for oil back then.

41chevy Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 No, It used the unit on the back to vibrate a pair of equally spaced tent poles into and out of the ground. The poles were 6 inch dia and 8 to 10 feet long tubes that the support posts would fit in to.I acutually have a video of it working but BMT keeps telling me I can not post it here. (?)
