That was good. I watched it all. Thanks!

Now I know much more about snowflakes.

Shocking video shows semi-truck dragging car down Illinois highway (fox5dc.com)

I've never driven anything that big(except when I took the CDL test many years ago) but how do you NOT know that a car has hit you and wedged itself under your trailer?

Reminds me of the German tank crew that were driving off road at night and ran their Leopard tank over a parked VW bug.
They swore afterwards that they never felt a thing.

 

[gf beranek]

That's horrible.

 

[Tree09]

Apparently no one was killed, so that's good. I could see that happening driving in Chicago

 

[Burnham]

Remarkable. How could any driver not see that situation out their right side mirror, after a few seconds...setting aside the very valid question of how any driver could not notice "something" about how their rig was feeling/handling/sounding???

 

[gf beranek]

Ignore it. It'll go away.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

"Did you feel something?"

 

[Mellow]

"Screw it. I gotta get this load to Hoboken by five."

This is pretty wild, and only 40 seconds.

I vetted it...did not seem like it could be real. Apparently, it is. Very advanced.

Check out these eerily realistic robots that look straight out of the movie 'I, Robot'

Meet Ameca, "the world's most advanced human-shaped robot," and the company building the hyper-realistic bots.

Thank you

 

[PCTREE]

Can you imagine waking up next to that ???

 

[gf beranek]

Regards to the bots: with a little makeup it would look like the real thing.

God bless our farmers!

Breaking into our old historic jail.
Guess a little rust was involved.

Leather craftsmanship. lengthy by good.

 

[cory]

Amazing

 

[gf beranek]

It really makes me appreciate the craftsmanship that went into my workboots through the years.

So much detail.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Kool stuff.

 

[cory]

Those must be a battle to break in, they're like APC's for your feet!

 

[lxskllr]

I fell asleep watching it last night. Pretty labor intensive. Waaay beyond my pay grade. There'd be so many holes in the leather from cutting stitching out and redoing it...

 

[gf beranek]

I recall the sole's of my Buffalo logger boots had as much flex as a 2 by 4. Way too stiff. You could not break those boots in. Well, the uppers, yeah, they would soften up, but not the sole's. Stiff as plywood for the life of the boot.

Now the Wes Cos where much much better.

 

[Mellow]

After watching that, they don't seem as expensive as they once did.

 

[gf beranek]

I hear what you're saying.

There's a lot more to making a boot than I ever knew.

I paid $400 for those buffalo's in 1998. 23 years ago.
