other dog

His parents are Cheryl and Wayne, that's about all I know. If I go, which I probably will, I'm not going to the actual wedding. I'm going to stay at the motel with the dogs. We were at Cheryl and Wayne's when Roman got lost in the woods that time. Their other son was staying with the dogs while we went out to Sam the Clam's, one of Zina's favorite restaurants. Roman got out the door and took off. I know he was looking for me. We got a call at the restaurant letting us know he was lost and we left to go look for him. Everybody in the neighborhood was looking. When he finally came out of the woods I told him I wouldn't leave him alone like that again. He was at our wedding at the Keystone Antique Truck and Tractor Museum. He's the one on the end, standing beside Mark (vision386 on BMT).

I didn't notice any of that, and I've watched it 5 or 6 times. I'd better go back and watch it some more😆

I noticed that the weather girl on the Winfall TV station was gone, looks like she's in South sunny Florida now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EomfKwDjlaE

If it's too big of a job we'll just do the best we can for now, then if we go back to Connecticut in June I'll bring the shovel again to try and finish it.

Speaking of the Olympics-

Not mine, Zina just happened to see it. https://www.facebook.com/share/1G6wkmsveZ/

We have to- I mean we get to go to Connecticut next month, one of Zina's friends from way back has a son who's getting married. She said she would go by herself and I could stay home and dog sit but I said she shouldn't have to drive that far by herself. I'll throw the shovel in the back and help you clear that driveway.

It's been raining here all day, then this started-

Tofu?????

...and then there's this nonsense-

I would have, but I don't think lottery tickets had been invented yet 🤣 I went to the eye doctor in Lynchburg this morning and I was sitting there thinking "sure is a lot of old folks in here".

Speaking of finding things, way back in the early 80's I had delivered somewhere in North Carolina and called headquarters. They didn't have anything for me to pick up so the boss man said to come on to the shop. Then he said "if you don't mind, and I know it's a long shot, but a driver stopped at the little BP station on 29 north of Greensboro yesterday and he thinks he might have dropped his keys, he can't find them anywhere. Maybe somebody found them and turned them in to the fuel desk or something". That little BP station was exactly where the Sheetz is now, at the time there was just a tiny little dirt parking lot and a spot around back to park, so you could park maybe 4 trucks in there total. So I stopped, thinking I'd never find any keys, but I could get a drink and a honey bun and head on to the house. I pulled in and parked, got out of the truck and didn't take 2 steps and there they were, laying on the ground.

It was just a situation where when I walked by where I was working on it i'd stop and look on the ground. and the third time I did that I just happened to see it laying there. Never really expected to find it and I had already fixed the oil line.

60's here today and tomorrow. I'm done with the used car and igloo binness. I sold the Dodge pickup at a loss, I sold the red F150 at a loss, took a huge loss on the GMC, and i'm trying to sell the big green International now for less than I paid for it. I'm just not very good at it.

Holly Farms was huge when I was a kid, many, many, years ago. Lots of people where I grew up in Cumberland county raised chickens for Holly Farms. They had a big plant and hatchery over near Burkeville and their feed trucks and shavings trucks rolled by the house 24/7. I don't know if there's still that many chicken houses around there now or not, but Holly Farms was bought by Tyson in 1989.

Well that's just great. I turned away 17 other potential buyers because I was holding it for you. Probably couldn't give the summich away now...kinda like the big green International that runs now 🤣

It is sharp looking. I thought I had seen this truck before, but seeing it's from Indiana I probably haven't. Looks familiar though.

You'd better hurry if you still want this igloo- I can put it in the freezer for you until you get here if you want me to.

I've been across it several times. I remember one time myself and Clarence Sparrow had both picked up loads up around Chicago going over to the eastern shore. I think I was going to Cheriton, I don't remember where he was going. But he had a van load and I had a flatbed load, and they made him park before we got on the bridge because of the wind. They let me go ahead and after I got unloaded the next morning I came back across empty and he was still sitting there with a bunch of other trucks. It never bothered me going across it, what I always wondered about was those guys way out there fishing. The water looked rough and the boats looked tiny, and they'd be way out in the bay fishing. The boats were probably a lot bigger than they looked, they looked like a 12 foot John boat to me, but still not something I would ever do.

I kicked a little spot on the ground yesterday by the front tire on the yellow Zinamobile, just to use as a reference point. Then when I fixed the oil line and pulled it under the carport I knew the general area that I needed to look for the ferrule that I dropped. Even though I knew I'd never find it anyway in the gravel driveway, I'd know where to look. And I looked for a minute or two but didn't see it. I went out this morning for something and walked by and looked, you know, different lighting in the morning, so maybe I'd see the brass shining. Nope, didn't see anything. And a few minutes ago I went out to put this insurance payment in the mail box, and walked over and looked again and what do you know, there it was. Then I dropped it in the grass and lost it again, but I did find it- just kidding 😂 I put a little zip tie through it and put it in the tool box in the shed.
