I used to use photobucket, still got pictures there I guess, but I don't know how to get to them. Now I put my pictures on Flickr- I think! They're all saved on the computer somewhere any way, just takes a long time to find a particular picture sometimes, because i've got about 10,000 pictures saved.

Noice!

and another thing that amazes me is that in a storm now you might see roofs blown off, or sheds blown over, and there'll be an old barn in a field that's been leaning for the last 20 years, built 50 or 60 years ago, and it's still standing after the storm.

Looks like a one ton Chevy chassis.

I should have posted this here in the first place, but here's an odd duck-

So that was you that broke my windshield and cost me $400!..you'll be hearing from my attorney!

I had a lot of old tools, some belonged to my grandfather, but I lost a lot of tools in a shed fire last year. Some are still riding around in a plastic storage bin on the back of the pickup, I'm waiting on a new shed and tool box before I go through them . I saved everything that might be salvageable.

Nope, that's the old bridge. Here's some drive by pictures after they had started tearing it down, with the new bridge behind it.

I went to a job site with a load of pipes yesterday. I came out of Irish Spring Street there, made a left, then backed up Cedric the Entertainer Street to where I got unloaded. No big deal, just had to thread my way between the concrete pumper and the dumpster. Northern Va, near Manassas. They're building houses everywhere.

I saw some big Mack trucks on rt. 17 yesterday.

Thanks Bob. I saw one of our drivers at the steel mill in Petersburg yesterday and he had seen the picture on facebook. He said "I had to blow it up to make sure it was you. No gray hair, way smaller - what happened?" I said "about 33 years, that's what happened."

I saw in the paper one day that there were looters in a grocery store in Florida. I said then that that didn't really bother me, I might do the same thing if I were hungry. But the pictures of all the low life scum looting the shoe stores and electronics stores, that's a different story, they're nothing but thugs and criminals and I have zero sympathy for them.

Many times, narrow is an understatement!

Yeah, I thought it was pretty anal when they made me slide my trailer tandems to shift 120 lbs. at the scales on 81 just south of Winchester that time.

now that's just funny right there...

Happy birthday!

What?!! you mean their names aren't really Large, Medium, Small, and Extra Small? I never knew.

Happy birthday!

Best reply I could come up with-

They were pretty much top of the line in their day, especially for company trucks. They had the nice interiors, and a 400 Cummins was big power then. We had to get all that steel to Boston as quick as we could, so we could get back as quick as we could to get another one, but H.H. got us nice trucks to get it done with.

Not much to see this week. Saw this picture on facebook, posted by my step daughter. That's a 1984 K100 with a 400 Cummins, 9 speed, 3.70 rears. Taken at H.H.Moore's shop in Appomattox, Va. one Sunday morning just before I left with that load of Kyanite. Wow, that's not something you see very much- a diesel cop has pulled Bob over in Hubbard, Oh! and a girl in a car...it's getting a little cooler, girls in cars are getting fewer and farrer in between now! Won't be long before it'll be looking like this again- Cement mixer in Gladys, Va. And here's a pretty neat picture that was posted by Russell MacNeil on Facebook. Looks like a D860 GMC, but i've never seen one with a sleeper cab like this, only with an add-on box. It kinda looked to me like somebody grafted the back half of an IH sleeper cab onto the GMC cab.

...and F*@K a snake.

Thank you Bob!

yeah!

They can do what they want, they don't bother me for the most part, but when it comes into the front yard and tries to eat my new little friend- well, eff em!
