Yessir. Looks like all the supplies made it with the man himself, Monroe.

I have access (through friends) into the actual race shops and engine shops but I don't want to keep him too long. He's anxious to get to the next host.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

The bird decided to help me install a rear bumper on the farm truck today.

He was a little concerned when the pry bar came out to aid in fitting but I assured him that is the norm with Chinese parts.

I needed some stainless bolts for the gravel guards so we stopped short and went out to church (with a visit to Home Depot afterward). After Home Depot we also zipped over to NPD to get some lower control arm bump stops. I was delighted to find that they too were made in the people's land of China and even tore one before I got it installed. Oh joy.

We got the bumper finished off, changed the tag (in case local law enforcement is looking for the Texas truck) and called it a day.

Looks like Monroe has had a good time down south so far .

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Indeed. He is even starting to cluck with a bit of a drawl.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Has his y'all changed to y'ow yet?

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I just sent a PM to the next person picked to make sure he is still on board.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

This is definitely y'all country down here.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I have a short video of part of the ride-along Monroe got.

He's going to my kid's boxing class tonight, then its back in the box and he's on his way out tomorrow.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Last pics from Monroe's visit. We took him to fight club.

As soon as we get confirmation that his next host is ready, he'll be on his way!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Does Monroe have a glass beak? Did he fight well or run like a chicken?

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Looked like a great match!

I've heard Monroe is an even better wrestler! Famous for his choke hold!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

:lol::lol:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

LMAO....

He said he would pose for some exhibition photos but didn't want to spar.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

lol

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

I can barely type with all the squawking and feathers flying around Maudene (monroe's female counter part) just found out he's on his way here next ! We're having fried chicken Friday nite ..?... OK, I'm not politically correct again . We'll have pizza . And try to give ol Monroe a East Tennessee weekend before he's back in the box ...oops ! There I go again , get it ? Box of chicken . :lol:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

:haha::haha::haha::haha:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

All right Grumpy. I just dropped off Monroe at the airport, I mean Post Office, and he is officially on his way to you. You should see him there on Friday.

He wanted some reading material but when I saw what he wanted, I said "no way." I wasn't about to get charged with sending XXX material over state lines. He's a handful so enjoy.

Thanks for officially ruining my day... this song will be in my head the rest of the day...

But you haven't heard it, until you've heard Peter Griffin sing it...

NC John you need the family guy version of Surfin bird :lol:

https://youtu.be/7OXVPgu6urw

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Wild and crazy stuff for back in ole stiff neck days. Really cutting it loose free form style. Such innovation... Revolutionary

I hope Monroe didn't hear that just as he went into the dark silent box. He may be stuck all permanent on that word about the bird. if that's the case, please take me off the list :lol:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Bird bird bird bird is the word! Got my phone charged up so I can check the board while traveling! I have to say I am nursing a sore beak, that kiddo packed a wallup lol

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

That might be the absolute best FG episode EVER.

One time I put surfin bird (trashmen version) through my home office speakers, set the iPod to "repeat", cranked up the volume and just went outside. (And this was before that FG episode was aired). I think it was about the third or fourth repeat that I could hear my wife in the house cursing me in a manner that would make a sailor blush. She figured out what I did and was rather " upset."

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

:lol:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Monroe arrived intact and perfect timing with out of town company this weekend ! He took one look at Maudene with her hillbillie daisy dukes and I haven't seen him for an hour ! Old Monroe is the man !!!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Must be showing her his wrestling moves!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Big day planned for the little guy , ending with the dirt track races at 411motorspeedway.net the oldest motor speedway in Tn

Monroe asked to drive but he was a little stiff and couldn't reach the pedals !

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Get him goggles and a hat. Better keep an eye on him so he doesn't get stomped in the crowd or get swept out of his seat

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Grumpy ,are you going to let him ride that bike of yours ?

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

No , I sold that bike to a guy in Charlotte ,NC a while back . Ol Monroe is getting ready to go to the track for some dirt racing to night . I'll get some pictures uploaded later .

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

hope maudene didn't cause a shotgun weddin the grumpy old man awful quiet

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

He's got him in his upholstery sweat shop

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

LOL :lol: Grumpy is making him a new pair of pants ;)

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

:lol: Poor little guy's been sewing his wings off , if you notice we're up at 3:00 am trying to avoid the 110 degrees in my "sweat" shop during the day . so it's time for him to go back in the box this morning and off to his next stop with GR8-68 then to special-k for Carlisle , He's been taking his breaks hanging out with my rooster and I don't want my rooster picking up Monroe's skater additude so off he goes on some more adventures ...

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Well my wife is preparing our home for the guest that will be arriving soon. We really look forward to spending some quality time with Monroe, hopefully the heat and humidity breaks a bit so I can adventure around Belews Creek with Monroe a bit and show him a few things I enjoy to do here in North Carolina. I am sure he will be excited to meet our lone hen "Cletus" she sure has been lonely since the others have come up missing so I am sure she will be excited to meet Monroe. :chevy:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

My theory is they went on a TN moonshine bender and ended up getting locked up. There may or may not have been a brawl at the dirt track. No wi-fi in jail (so no pictures or updates) and they still haven't made bail yet.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Old Monroe is back in his box and on his way to NC, He'll be there Thursday for his next adventure , pictures are coming .

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

Cant wait to see what he was in to.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

We certainly have some more NC adventures planned for Monroe, he will actually be making the trip with me and hopefully the wife to Carlisle for the truck nats. There he will be making the transfer with his time with Special-K. I hope he can do some heavy lifting as I need a hand loading the trailer to prepare for Carlisle. There is always plenty to do on the C-10 farm :lol:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
 

When is Carlisle?
