Fricken FedEx

Jim is correct. For all the bragging Texans make about how free their State is, they have some really weird quirks and restrictions.

But the roads have really high speed limits.

Kinda wonder what a rogue torsion bar would do their sorting machinery...

Not much. It's actually a pretty cool process. If the Torsion bar fell out of the shipping tube, It's probably still on the rollers or fell under a roller table. I operate a Sorting Machine like this,

and we lose mail in the machine a lot. It really does happen all the time. I would assume FedEx is a larger operation and has more robust rollers to handle the odd shaped boxes. The FedEx ppl probably saw the torsion bar and thought it was part of the sorter that fell apart, and are just waiting for that thing to fail. lol

I have seen fence posts go thru a combine, that isn’t pretty.

You should watch where you’re driving that thing

Better than a skunk...

I got the pickup stopped on the machine that I was running and the skunk hustled his furry @$$ of the table leaving behind just a little aroma de skunk behind.

But couple nights later, the farm owner wasn't as fast on the big red button - the cylinder pureed the poor fellow. I have never smelt skunk that bad before. The wheat in the hopper was emptied in situ, we ran some straw through it, washed it with pressure washer, ran more straw through it and parked it 'til spring before it wasn't toxic.

I just sell them parts, it makes no difference to me.

Worst I have heard of was a decomposed buck in the inner snoots on a corn head. Antlers stopped it but the rest of the carcass went into the feeder house and plugged everything up. Warm fall, he was ripe... nobody enjoyed.

It didn’t sound very fun to extract.

I vividly remember a dead skunk under our cabin one summer. Dad said go get it so I did.

Good times....

And I'm cursing FedEx too. Left the parts for my daughter's Escape at neighbour's place this afternoon.

At least the neighbour knew - car parts - ask Don if they are his...
