Jo called Monday and wanted to know if she could come by and get some stuff, so I said yeah. And she was sitting in the driveway when she called. I guess she wasn't expecting me to be home. I don't know if she was going to climb in a window, or what. But she got some dishes she said were hers...and this cast iron skillet. I didn't care about the dishes, but I didn't know this cast iron skillet was hers. But I didn't argue. I cooked a huge rib-eye in it not long ago. It was well seasoned too, i'm gonna miss that skillet. That Impala was crammed full when she left. Yellow truck for sale. A girl in a car. A mixer drum. A big Mack truck at Frank's Truck Stop in Chesapeake. A big Mack truck in Petersburg, Va. An automobile for sale. A big- never mind. An aquatic mammal.

My friend wanted me to move his boat for him last weekend, so I did. Took it down to the Big Otter River for him, where he launched it. He said he was going to cruise down to the Staunton River on it. Haven't seen or heard from him since. Fox News even sent Abby out to cover the move. Some place on 301 in Md. Some bridge over some river on 301. The neighbor's V8 Massey Ferguson. Load of giant redwoods. Big crane. Nice looking units right there! There's a bunch of big Mack trucks hiding back in there-

Sorry to hear this Paul, I haven't been on here for a while, really sorry.

Yep, I remember when about everybody wrote out bills by hand when you picked up a load, now if the computers are down the plant comes to a standstill. I used to walk in the office on Friday and turn in my tickets for however many loads of chips I had hauled that week, and Mrs. Moore would take them, she always had a long cigarette dangling out of her mouth, and she'd get on that adding machine- the kind you had to put a roll of paper in, had a handle on the side that she'd pull every once in a while, and in just a few minutes she was writing me a check.

Crosses at the bottom... You had to make that sharp turn to the right at the bottom to stay on 135, or hit the mountain. The Westvaco scales are to the left, we went there and weighed, then back over to rt.46 to go into Westvaco to unload, then back to the scales. I always said I was going to ride up that mountain to check it out after I got unloaded some time, but I just never got around to it. Farther view of the mountain. It was pretty much straight coming down, so you didn't have to slow down for any curves and drivers tended to pick up too much speed coming down to make that curve. Engine brakes were not that common, at least in the east, until the mid to late 80's i'd say, then you started seeing more of them.

I was not smoking ribs, I was smoking a turkey.

I'll be there Thursday, staying at the Hawthorn.

Awesome Vlad! I'm planning to be lurking about some time or other myself! I've reserved a room at some motel Thursday and Friday night, but I don't remember which one.

Pretty good picture for being taken in the mirror!

It's that time of year- finally- where bugs sometimes make it hard to get a good picture. But it's also seat cover season- here's a girl in a car. Job site I went to in Easton, Pa. It was a tight spot, on a college campus. They had to block some streets and stop some traffic so we could make the turns. Then this car at the bottom of this hill moved the "no parking" sign and proceeded to park there anyway. I have to make a right turn to get out. The campus police gave her a parking ticket. A big Mack truck in McKees Rocks, Pa. I saw a big Mack truck in Easton too, a U model tanker. Didn't see it in time to get a picture on the way in, took this bad picture on the way out. I saw a river. An old car. And a nice looking old Dodge pickup-

I may be wrong, but i'm one of those who believe that they could cure it if they wanted to, but there's way more money to be made by a lot more people in the treatment rather than a cure.

Hmmmmm...wonder what the occasion might have been approximately 9 months ago from this day every year that gets so many Mack people all excited?..

No, you're not mistaken. You should remember, you made most of them.🤣

I'm sure, but he understands. I thought about suing the city for cutting the post off like that, but they would probably argue that I shouldn't have been driving all up in the grass to start with. When I got back Jeff told me that when I sued them to get him enough for a new tire. Then he said I should have tripped over it and sued, so I asked him why he didn't think of that plan Sunday night, or I would have. That post will tear a mower all to pieces too.

No, that tire was ruined. It was flat by the time I got out to see what I had run over, had to put a new one on it.

No, no secrets. It just turned out that way. It was so good I was grabbing it and stuffing it in by the hand-full, couldn't wait to slice it!

It was, very delicious!

Oh, I almost forgot- I saw a girl in a car.

A meatloaf I made, long, long ago- I got to Pittsburgh Sunday night and the gate was closed where I was delivering, so I had to park on the street. I wanted to get over off the street just a little bit more, and I did not see this cut off sign pole and ran over it. It did not turn out well. How to not chain down a load of coils- How to chain down a load of coils- I saw some barges in the river- I could even see the barge driver- Couple of drivers going to their trucks in Wisconsin.

I used to drive a Peterbilt. Great looking truck... ...but it did stay at Carter Cat as much as it stayed on the road.

Luke, Maryland. I hauled pulp wood there, and every time the guy at the scales would warn you not to turn on rt. 135 by mistake, because you'd have to come back down the mountain, and yep a 90 degree turn at the bottom. You went past rt. 135 to get to the scales, it turned off to the left. Then when you left the scales you made a U-turn to go back to the paper mill, and turned right into the mill, but sometimes people would turn right on 135 before they got to the paper mill.

Yep.

That first trip there was a great story.

Get well soon Mike, i'll be praying for you also- couldn't hurt, right? And wow, how about that employer?..what a way to treat a hard working and dedicated employee. Those bastards!

Big pond that you have to drive through to get to the outbound scales at Gerdau in Petersburg. I had to drive around this day because so many people were fishing. They were biting good that day though.Big machine in Baltimore. It was at a coal pile. I was a long ways away from it, picking up some of those aluminum logs.I saw a big ship in Baltimore too.And a smaller ship.And two still smaller ships...I took this electric powered fork lift back to Milwaukee. A company from Rustburg rented it because they needed an electric unit for a job, and that was the only place they could rent one that big. It would lift 30-35,000 lbs. they said.Which is as much as the big red one at the yard will lift.
