mowerman Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Well, I’m finally to the point I can start working on it but now I can’t move it into the garage. My yard is a sloppy mess and if I try to move it across the yard it will sink in the stand. Plus the weather has been really lousy around here cold and snowing and raining but she’s all ready to start working on garage all set … Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Decided to put that on there I was going through my old cell phone checking out what was left on the photo gallery. I worked on a music video way back then they cut almost all of the truck scenes out of it. For some reason they left one little flash of me standing at a gas station talking to somebody. It’s just a tiny little deal you look up anywhere with you by rubber rodeo watch for the gas station scene. That’s me standing there and the white T-shirt. Talking to someone but I drove that brand new truck quite a lot of scenes as I said, I don’t know why they cut all that out… Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 This guy here? Whats the story on how your truck got into this video? Who approached you and did you get anything out of it? Apparently the music video of this went missing for awhile and camera quality's not all that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Yes, that’s me in a white T-shirt. That’s actually the best photo I have ever seen. It’s really hard to see me since it’s just a short flash that wasn’t mine The truck was rented for the video. My ex wife was a hair cutter in Hollywood at the time and I got offended the gig by one of here clients they needed somebody to drive this truck I don’t remember the bread it was a long time ago it was either 1 or 200 bucks a day plus everything paid for including cigarettes and beer remember mostly lotsa hot chicks in the crew to flirt with and oooooooohhhh by the way every time you see the musician driving the truck they were towing it yes they also had a truck wrecker service they hired for that… it was a great time entire experience I hated to have to go back to my same old shit job at the time ha ha… Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 I try to be straightforward these days. looking back constantly doesn’t change anything and doesn’t help my opinion is what do I need to get done now especially with retirement. I am really trying to focus on that that’s partially why I’m still working. but thanks for your input.

The company he drove for was going to let some country music singer use one of their trucks for a music video. He could supposedly drive a truck, I think he even had a B model Mack, but after he nearly turned their truck over not once, but several times, they had to leave the driving to somebody else. So they had a country music singer wannabe truck driver, and my friend said they had a driver there who was a wannabe country music singer, but he was most often described by his fellow drivers as just an "arrogant asshole". So apparently neither one was as good as they seemed to think they were- like that beer guy says, "stay humble my friends"...or does he say "stay thirsty?"
