That's good, I don't know how they expect any normal person to take these idiots seriously ...then there's this one that I saw on TV the other day, she was- what else, complaining about Donald Trump and Elon Musk- and she looks like a purple haired witch with cartoon glasses who just stepped out of "The Wizard of Oz".

Neither Rob nor Vision386 are on here any more, but here's their old Christmas picture anyway.

I have to sign in to prove I'm not a bot if I want to see it 😡

That's J.B. Stoltzfus, great guy with those GMCs. Unrestored, looking like they're still working! I like that he invites people to get in them and look around too. But I don't know why I can't watch any videos that anybody links on here- I always get this message 😡. I'll have to go find it on YouTube for myself to see it. At least I'm helping to protect the community somehow... apparently 🤔

I followed an auction not long ago, in the last year or so, just because I like these GMC D860s. I thought "man, I'd love to have that truck". And the dang thing sold for somewhere around a hunnert grand.

You're right about that, people drag junk out of the woods now and expect to get a fortune for it. Bad part is that a lot of times they do! 🤣

He said he gets WOT, he just didn't have an idea as to how much to list it for. I'd say the usual- ask more than you would expect to get, because you can always come down but you can't go up. I sold my mixer way too cheap. If I had kept it until now I could have gotten 3 times as much for it as I did then.

Yes, I don't know either. It probably still looks that good, I think all he did with it was haul his antique tractors to shows with it. I would think it has more value to a collector than to somebody looking to put it to work. I told him he should call the Keystone Antique Truck and Tractor Museum, they might be interested in it.

Anybody remember the great bulldozer adventure? I went down to the N.C./S.C. line on rt.38 with an RGN trailer and picked up an Allis Chalmers bulldozer. The man I was picking it up for rode with me, as it was only supposed to be a day trip. But, you know how plans go sometimes. His brother was bringing the dozer up from S.C. and blew about 3 tires on his trailer before he got there with it. Anyhow, the brother called me yesterday and wanted to know what I thought the truck he brought it up there with might be worth. I told him I really didn't know, but I would ask around. He's in his 80s now and wants to sell his C500 Kenworth. He's not going to give it away, and isn't trying to get rich off it either, he just wanted to know about what to ask. It's a 1978, with 91,000 miles on it. It's really more of an off-road or heavy haul unit than an over the road tractor. It's pretty unique, and a real collector's item. He put a sleeper on it and it has an 855 Cummins in it. He said it was a 230 Cummins originally but he added a turbo and said it has around 275hp. now. I took these pictures when I picked up the bulldozer. This was in February, 2016. Anybody have any thoughts about it?

Yes, I didn't think to look at all that when I was there though.

This was great- the best part is at the 4:40.

One thing that I found out today helped us make that decision. I thought we were talking to the second owner, and the first owner only used it to pull a Landoll trailer. Turns out he was the third owner, a fracking company had it first, and he bought it around 2020- that's about when sleepy joe put a stop to the fracking. So while it did have very low miles, who knows how many hours might have been on the engine. Sure is a nice truck though.

I need to get to the Walmart store. I just hope hoarders haven't snatched up all the tin foil.

Well, we decided to pass on that 2012 Pinnacle. It's a fine looking truck, clean inside and out, but the fear of any def or emissions repairs it might need in the future has scared me away. Sure is a pretty truck though, I like that red frame.

How does that old joke go?..something like the little girl asks "mommy, when should I give daddy his birthday card that I made for him?" And mommy says "this afternoon, when he delivers the milk sweety".

Maybe they got off track and went through Bland. There used to be a joke about the Bland scales- story was you could cross every scale in the United States and be legal, then when you got to Bland they would say "you're 1200 pounds over on your drives, pull around back and bring your paperwork inside". 🤣

We had about all the Dr. Seuss books when I was a kid too. One of my childhood favorites was called "Go Dog Go". I liked it so much I bought a copy for my son when he was little and one for my grandson too.

This is true! When I was a kid, many years ago, we stayed in the woods when we played. We played army a lot, or cowboys and Indians, and our guns were sticks. And every time you got "killed" you could be somebody else and keep right on going. I was always Sargent Saunders from the TV show "Combat!". And as we got older we played baseball in a cow pasture or hay field. We never actually had enough people to have 9 players on a team, but it didn't matter, we still had fun.

I went to look at a truck yesterday. Turned out to be much worse looking in person than it looked in the pictures. The owner was asking $15,000 for it. We went to look at another truck today. We had pretty much talked ourselves out of getting a truck that we didn't need anyway but I told the man on the phone yesterday that I was coming to look at it today. And the bad part was that this one looked better in person than it did in the pictures. It's a 2012 and clean as a pin. You'd think it was a 2024 model looking at the interior, and it only has 154,000 miles on it. That made it really hard to talk ourselves out of buying a truck we don't need, and just for personal use, non-commercial, not for hire.

We don't have the cement mixer, but we did get the backhoe attachment.

Anybody in the northeast seen any? I've been watching the news, and people are reporting seeing drones all over the Northeast, and now in California too. The things are as big as a car they said, but according to the gummint people there's "nothing to worry about", and they're legally flown- even though nobody seems to know what they are doing, who's flying them, where there come from or anything else about them. Rachel Campos Duffy told some politician on tv the other day that all they had to do was follow it back to wherever it landed, and he immediately changed the subject. So they obviously know a lot more than they're saying. I have a feeling they're up to no good, maybe checking things out for a future terrorist attack. If I was in charge, which I am not, I'd shoot a few of them down and take a close look at the wreckage.

That small freezer can also be used as a refrigerator so I keep some beer in it just in case somebody comes by that does like it. And some extra in case they drink it all.

Yes, we have one of those vacuum sealers and we use the heck out of it. I don't know anything about that 400 lb. heavy duty industrial grade mixer Zina has. Only mixers I ever used was the little hand held mixer that when you pushed the button the beaters came out. She had two of the KitchenAid mixers, but she gave one of them away. She used to bake a lot, but not so much anymore. They're very expensive, but she gave it to a family member.

We freeze a lot of stuff too. We bought a freezer last year but it was too small so we bought a bigger one. Zina has one of those big fancy KitchenAid mixers that we never use, weighs about 300 lbs, and we ordered a meat grinder attachment for it. We thought maybe we would grind our own hamburger or sausage, but we've never used that either.

Yes we go to Sam's sometimes, usually get our paper products there. You can get a 36 can case of beer there for the same price as a 24 can case at the Walmart store. I'm not a mathematician but that's almost like getting a free 12 pack😊 I don't even like beer but I get 36 when I'm there because I do like free stuff 😁 There's a Costco in Charlottesville but not around here. I might have been in one in Florida, I don't remember. Publix is big in Florida though.
