Sounds like him, he was a super nice guy, and he would stand and talk to you all day. I've been to his place several times. I took nocluejoe66 there one time and he gave us the grand tour in his pickup. I have many pictures of his trucks, the album is called "Old Trucks at P.L. Duncan's". They're in Cumberland county, where I was born and raised. I'm in Hubbard, Ohio now on the laptop.

I used the 93% lean ground beast when I made the one on the grill, and it was the only meatloaf i've ever had that was too dry. For this one I used 80% lean beast, chopped up about half a large onion, half a green pepper, added two eggs, dumped in some bread crumbs, and the secret ingredient- a bottle of John Boy and Billy's Grillin' Sauce. I used the original flavor, it's really good.

I did not see much this week, so I didn't take many pictures of it. Didn't really go too far, went to Milton, W.V. and back to Petersburg. I saw this mill roll in front of me going up Sandstone Mtn. Then I took a load of pipes to Blackstone, Va, a van load to South Boston, and a load of kyanite to Sanford, N.C.all in the same day. Saw this flag on a hill from Griffin Pipe. Old truck by the field. A Ford for sale in Concord, Va. Jo's been after me to make a meatloaf for a while, so I did. Last one I made like this I cooked it on the grill, but it was a little chilly yesterday, so I just put it in the oven. I was going to do the fancy weave/lattice deal with the bacon, but I ended up just stacking a pile of bacon on it. I didn't use a loaf pan, the top pan has holes in it so the grease could run out into the baking dish it was sitting on. I'm all about eating healthy, that's why I only used 14 slices of bacon instead of 15. It was very tasty!

I've done that before- I was coming back from Covington with an empty log trailer one time and pulled over on the ramp at exit 36, at the bottom of North Mountain. I-64 was completely snow covered, there was no way i'd make it up the mountain with the empty trailer. So, a salt truck finally goes by, I give him a pretty good head start, then follow him on up the mountain. Made it just fine until he took the crossover about a quarter of a mile from the top, then I was on my own, and I thought I wasn't going to make it that last quarter of a mile. Sat on top of Sandstone coming east one night waiting on a salt truck that never did come. I sat there about an hour, while the snow was just getting deeper, and one of our trucks passed by going west and he said he thought I could make it. So I eased on down, by the time I got to the bottom the road was clear, and they had salted the other side. Sandstone is no hill to be taken lightly.

Richard Rawlings paid $5,000 I believe it was for an older Bronco that was just a rust bucket.

That is a good one!

Wow, some nice stuff there- Divco,Travelall, Studebaker, just to name a few, and I just kind of skimmed thru it...

...these are even more sharper looking!

These are sharp looking!

Well how about this one then?

I've had to park and wait several hours before I could cross before because of the wind. Then they let flatbeds go across, but not vans or high profile vehicles. It's a wonder they were letting trucks cross it yesterday the way the wind was blowing.

I was thinking about that weekend fill-in position, but I figured by the time I drove to work it would be time to leave so I could be home in time to go to work.

No, that's a little before my time- I started driving in Jan. of 1979. By the time I got to Berkley Springs the fire was completely out, it wasn't even smoldering.

I drove a '78 Astro for a while, I liked it all right. It was solid white, had a 290 Cummins and a nine speed.

This unit is sold.

Yes, I've stopped there a few times, but I used to stop more in Chillicothe at the Highway Diner and sometimes the old "Schoolhouse" restaurant. I don't know if either of them are still there because the new road doesn't go by them- they're probably still there, but most likely closed. I don't run that way much any more.

Yep, that's where it is- a little south of Berkley Springs.

I don't think so, the first potential buyer said he was 99.9% sure he was going to take it, but there's still that .1% chance that he won't.

No.... obviously an optical illusion...

I saw some Diamond T's. I saw a wrecker too- I saw my truck at the shop as I was leaving yesterday- hey, I blindsided into that spot! A girl in a car, from the interweb... How about this herd of deer along the Pa. Turnpike?

I saw a coal train going through Scottsville, Va. the other day- seems like it's been a while since i've seen one. And I saw a bird in a raft in McKees Rocks, Pa. I saw snow in McKees Rocks too. ...and a Beaver Steel truck....Beaver Steel... ...and a big Mack truck- a beautiful sky from the Pa. Turnpike- ...and a girl in a car, from the interweb.

I saw a thing on facebook the other day that I would post here if I could find it again, but it pretty much said "you want to leave your country because it sucks, women are treated worse than aminals there, the oppressive laws stifle your very existance, you can't do anything without fear of being killed- by the 'religion of peace'- and you want to come to America and make it exactly like the shithole place you're trying to get away from?" As Pete would say, "that don't make no sense!"
