other dog

It's just a little plastic wagon I use in the garden and for yard work. It's too flimsy to haul much but I couldn't afford a wheel barrow😁

I went out and moved the big Mack truck over a truck width to the north. It was beside an oak tree and one limb stretched out over it just enough for birds to mess up the side of it. It was much worse than this, but the rain washed some of it off. I pick up rocks out of the garden all the time and I put the ones I had in my wagon down before I moved it, but I need to pick up a lot more rocks! I noticed the rocks in bags at the hardware store were $9.99 a bag the other day. The last ones I bought were $4.99, for pea gravel. I don't know what the $9.99 a bag ones were, gold nuggets I guess. And here's Belle staring at my blueberry muffin.

I was browsing the channels the other day and came across one of those auto restoration shows. Seems like there's about a dozen of them now, and I don't even remember the name of the show. But I stopped when I saw them working on this '53 White truck and tanker trailer. It looked good at first, but the owners wanted to modernize it. They removed the old 150 HP gas engine and put a Cummins in it, out of a pickup I think, and replaced the transmission with an automatic. Took the 2 speed rear out and put in a single speed with air ride, and put an air ride suspension under the trailer too. I like the engine upgrade, but I would have left the transmission and rear end alone. Or maybe put a 10 speed Roadranger in it. But a very nice looking truck anyway.

And the part where they said drivers didn't like the 5 speeds because they were 5 speeds is totally made up b.s, I can pretty much guarantee they never conducted a poll about that. Some guys don't want to drive anything but a Peterbilt or Kenworth, because it's not a Peterbilt or a Kenworth though.

Yes he is, he's on Facebook a lot. I've been looking and looking for that picture and couldn't find it anywhere and Zina had it on her phone.

Yes, as did Overnite, Smith's Transfer, Jamerson Brother's Trucking, and many more. Well, Jamerson Brothers here in Appomattox probably didn't have thousands of them. Maybe dozens at their peak? Herbert Jamerson was mostly all Mack in the early days and H.H. Moore ran mostly Internationals.

Happy birthday Tom! That's Bob and Tom on the golf cart, from the Bob and Tom show.

Oh, that was just freightrain. He was on the way to Beaver Springs.

Happy birthday!

And, as usual, the steak was overcooked. Delicious though.

OK, I'm trying that steak in a cast iron skillet again. I have to admit, these steaks do not look all that good. This is after 4 minutes per side, I haven't cut into it yet. And some leftover potatoes and something warmed up after the steak was cooked. Zina is preoccupied with her new chickens.

Right!
