  1. Oh, the new Zinamobile- almost forgot 😁. It's got a 351M and C4 transmission out of a '78 Mercury Cougar in it. Runs great, her only issue is the lack of power steering but I think she can get used to it. If not we'll have to look into some sort of aftermarket power steering setup.
  2. I cleaned the pot today, but I was afraid to re-season it. I usually boil it out after I clean it, then dump it and coat it with Crisco again. But it's so windy I'm afraid of a spark blowing over into the woods, then we'd be in deep doo-doo as the saying goes.
  3. This is 2 gallon size bags of beast and I of chicken. It seemed like a lot, until I put it in the stew pot. Then it doesn't look like it even has any meat in it. That's a 9 gallon pot, and I put a gallon of diced tomatoes, a gallon each of crushed tomatoes, corn, lima beans, peas, a 5 lb. bag of potatoes, and a 3 lb. bag of onions. And 2 small cans of carrots. I put a bag of frozen green beans out of our garden in it too. But it was very tasty though, I cut the beef up into small pieces so you'd still get beef in every bite! 🤣
  4. We had our stew yesterday, and it was good. Very good. You know what my uncle Buck used to say- "it's all good, some is just better than others". Not too many people came though, but it was a good time. Zina's new '55 Ford pickup was delivered too. Messenger_creation_94184329-3DD2-4123-B6CF-9750EB35B2D4.mp4 I hated to leave the pot on the stand last night, but we jarred the last 11 quarts at dark. Then we brought them in and put them in the canner and canned it before we went to bed. Had to do it in 2 batches because they all wouldn't fit in the canner. So now I have to go outside and clean and re-season the stew pot and put it away.
  5. About every time I'd deliver around the Norfolk- Virginia Beach area in the 80's I'd go to Portsmouth and get a load of fertilizer going back to Lynchburg. You backed up to the dock and they'd run a conveyor onto the trailer and load bags of fertilizer on the floor from the front of the trailer to the back. I'd tarp it and take off to Lynchburg, never put a strap on anything. Heck, we didn't even have straps then, but nary a bag of it ever moved. I picked up a load of Comet rice in a van in Stuttgart, Arkansas one time that was loaded on the floor too, but I had to unload that myself. Had 3 stops in New York City. I had to put it to the back of the trailer anyway, but at the last 2 stops they put a conveyor in there for me so it wasn't too bad. The rice was in 20 pound bags, and there was either 3 or 4 bags in each box, I don't remember now. I was in my 20's then, so it didn't bother me.
  6. I had just gotten home from my daily class at clown college and didn't have time to change before the photo session.
  7. Yes
  8. Yeah, I need all the help I can get to scoot nowadays!
  9. Happy birthday Randy!
  10. I'm sorry for your loss, like cruiseliner64 said they are indeed family.
  11. Since we didn't have any pictures taken at our wedding, my wife wanted to have some buffessional type pictures taken of us. We went to this farm just a couple of miles from here and had some taken Sunday afternoon. The pictures came out good, but I'm a bit peed off- I don't understand why she cropped me out of the pictures and put this old fat guy in them- all of them! I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind when it's time to pay her for them! That doesn't make any sense, i'm just gonna- oh,..wait a second...I figured it out...never mind.
  12. Oh well...We always said that some day we were going to drive down to Bill's Truck Stop and meet up with Joey Mack for lunch. But now I'm not so sure, might have to do Burger King or something. We were talking with the guys with that F model Mack in Colfax a few weeks ago and somehow the subject of Bill's came up. I think I was telling them how I lost my Bill's cap. And they said that since the original owner passed away it's under new ownership now and it's altogether different. I don't think they went the way of most truck stops and just have a fast food restaurant or roller grill items, but they said it's just not the same, and not nearly as good. I was reading some reviews and some said it was great, some said it was horrible. And I'm not sure, but I feel like a lot of the good reviews came from close family members, because they had names like Rahejakimanistasiholko Stucvijanirackostopolus. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I don't think I'll be making a three hour drive to see for myself. I think I'd go for some good North Carolina barbecue instead.
