other dog

That's what i'd have done to the snake too. I ran over it with the pickup, but I didn't slam on the brakes. When I left another guy that had stopped on his motorcycle to take pictures of it with his phone was still poking at it with a stick. That's when it coiled up like that and struck at the stick, when the guy was poking at it. I was chicken then too, it was time for me to go!

I've been saying for a while that I was gonna ride up to Apple Orchard Mountain and take some pictures of the radar station, and yesterday was the day. Sharp Top Mountain, one of the Peaks of Otter, from rt. 43. Flat Top, from rt. 43. Sharp Top from the Peaks of Otter lodge. Close up of the summit- After leaving the Peaks of Otter we saw a big rattle snake crossing the road. I turned around and went back to take pictures of it. The rattles- I hate snakes, moving on...this was the last overlook you could see the radar unit from... so I pulled over on the shoulder and took more pictures from a little closer. The gate was open at the road going up to it, but this sign deterred me from going in. I did walk a little ways, but all I could see was the very top of the big giant ball over the trees.

Grrr...i'm already out of likes!

I've been watching Fox News to see if they interview Randy and Ron while they're enjoying some scrapple at the Penrose Diner...haven't seen them yet.

They say there's a straight stretch on some road in West Virginia that's almost half a mile long, i've never actually seen it though. This is on rt. 30 in Pa. though, somewhere between rt. 219 and Bedford. I don't know how far it is, but it's a pretty good ways. I was driving a Columbia when the red truck was broke down here.

The original plastic heater control valve in my 2002 Ranger pickup lasted over 10 years, until one day it broke. A piece just snapped off right where the heater hose connects to it. I found a bumper guide stick in the junk pile and cut off about a 2 inch piece that the hose fit perfectly on and just bypassed it for a while, but the heat and defroster come in handy in the winter. I went to NAPA and got a new valve- made in China, and it leaked from the day I put it on. Went to O'Reilly's Auto Parts and got another one- made in China, and it leaked from the day I put it on. I ordered another one from some on-line parts place, and when it came it said "made in China" on the box. I just threw it in the tool box on the back of the pickup because I assumed it would leak too. The leak was just a drip, so i'd just add water or antifreeze about once a week. I finally put the one I ordered on a few weeks ago and so far so good.

It was on 29 just north of Charlottesville. Traffic was at a crawl because of an accident ahead and I just happened to look over and see it.

Sounds like the "Cafe Risque", there was one on I 95 in N.C, one on 85 in Ga, and one on 75 in Fl. The ones in N.C. and Ga. both closed several years ago.

...big Mack trucks, girls in cars, the moon, a frog, a bird, and Other Dog. I guess I did see a lot!

...more girls in cars- and Jeeps- smokers, job sites, pteradactyls...

I don't have much this week, didn't do too much either. Still been very, very, hot though. I saw some girls in cars, Superliners, a single axle R model for sale, an F model with the cab up, girls jogging, girls walking the dogs,..

ok.......?

huh?

Holy hamburgers! (Vinny,2014) Now i'm on page 3 to get to the last unread content...i'm being left behind...can't keep up any more- so long fellows!

So, you were on the Cross Bronx Expressway and had to stop for a second?

No, they hadn't finished loading in the first picture- it took 4 hours to get loaded in South Hill too. It was a big, tall, ugly load, I used all the straps I had on it- 14 of them.

I saw a big Mack truck near Sharon, Pa. I saw a girl getting gas... I think she's worthy of two pictures, good googly-moogly! I saw a big Mack truck. A girl in a car- Another big Mack truck- A lot of cabbage- A girl in a car-

When I left the port, after enjoying a nice 4 hour stay there, and having to get one stack of the imported Swedish lumber taken off because I was grossing 83,000, I saw a redhead riding a bicycle. I saw Kings Dominion from the truck stop across the road from it, and folks upside-down on the roller coaster. I don't remember the name of the coaster, but it was originally in Ohio, up near Cleveland, and we hauled it to King's Dominion several years ago. Colvin trucking terminal in Orange, Va. We were talking about Colvin a while back, when I was trying to remember the trucking co. that used to be here in Berkley Springs, W.V. which was T.H.Compton trucking. More girls in more cars- It's been just miserable hot all week, I thought I was going to pass out from the heat when I was folding my tarps in Columbia,S.C. Monday morning. I was tarping this load of kyanite in Dillwyn Thursday and had to sit in the truck for a while and cool off before I could finish. Getting unloaded in Chester,W.V.

A girl in a car with a water bottle. The same girl in the same car without a water bottle. A completely different girl in a different car- I went from Turkey over to the port at Morehead City- I didn't even know they had a state port there- to get a load of lumber going to Fredericksburg. Saw a truck getting a load of corn there- Dusty! This ship was loaded with wind mill parts- I don't know what they're scooping out of there- maybe corn. Saw these bridge girders there too, I guess they were imported from overseas somewhere too?..

I had to wait for the train to go by in Gladys before I could get on 501 last week. That's about the second time in 10 years i've seen a train on those tracks. I saw a big Mack truck on 24, before I got to Concord. I saw a girl in a car somewhere. A couple of Autocars in South Boston- both have "for sale" signs on them, they look good. Girl in car- Girl out of car- More girls in cars- - A bird- Getting loaded in South Hill,Va. Getting unloaded at Tar Heel Carports in Turkey, N.C.

Nice!

...and you- especially you.

And still hope to meet Ed some day!

Oh, and furthermore- i'm proud to know you Mike!
