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.

I had just gotten home from my daily class at clown college and didn't have time to change before the photo session.

Yes

Yeah, I need all the help I can get to scoot nowadays!

Happy birthday Randy!

awesome!

I'm sorry for your loss, like cruiseliner64 said they are indeed family.

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.

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.

Happy birthday 🎂

Same old story in Va.- Northern Va, the tidewater area, and Richmond, Roanoke and a few other cities control the entire state. Especially northern VA, and most of them came here from somewhere else and work in D.C.

Looks like big Mike's doing a package check 🤣

Pretty much the same thing 🤣

I just got around to opening the letter. I was a bit disappointed to discover that it was actually a form letter instead of a letter to me personally. He's trying to raise money for the mid term elections next year, because he said there's too many pigs at the trough in Washington. He does have a way with words! 🤣

Hey neat, I got a letter from John Kennedy. I'm happy that he doesn't think I'm stupid, if he did he wouldn't have sent me this nice letter 🤣

You can use any of my pictures you want Brocky. All those pictures are still on my camera, full size, uncropped. Let me know if you want me to send them to you via e-mail, any or all. These are all the pictures I took, and they're all on the computer just like the Flickr pictures, cropped and resized, but won't have the Flickr watermark on them. I usually just smallerize them down so they fit my computer monitor.

I was drinking this, but then one day I just decided that I should switch to Jim Beam. No particular reason.

Here's the rest of the pictures that I took at the Colfax show. Nice turnout, and beautiful weather too.

That's the truth!

Wow, a V12 Detroit powered R model!
