other dog

Well, I might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, as the old saying goes, but even I know that's just stupid. If you baked your hands in the oven at 450 degrees for 25 minutes there's no way you could roll another one for weeks, maybe months, because it would be at least that long until the burns healed and the bandages came off.

happy birthday!

No, it's long, not quite 75' though. I had to get a quarter of a mile away to get all of it in the picture. The load was already loaded on it, so I had to pull one of the 53 foot trailers. Sometimes the goat will be down by the road, other times he'll be way up high on the cut. I'd never seen him that close to the road before though.

Speaking of bacon, I stopped at Adam's Country Store on the way back from Chesapeake with that container the other day. I love going in that store- just the smell of country ham and cured meat will cause you to chub- ... anyway, I bought up some seasoning meat that was left over from slicing bacon. Jo said " the doctor...cholesterol..." or something, but I only bought it to use for seasoning. You know, to put in a pot of beans or greens for flavor. It was this much, 3 or 4 pounds I think, but I cut it into small pieces and put it into sammich bags so they wouldn't freeze together then put them in a gallon ziplock bag and threw it in the deep freeze.

Dammit, now you tell me! I just got back from the store with a thin crust pizza, a pound of bacon, and a roll of parchment paper. Guess I should have read those last two lines of the instructions, but I was really hungry and couldn't wait to try it because it looked so good in the picture- I cooked the paper and ate it too, but I must say it was quite delicious- which goes to show you, everything is good if it's wrapped in enough bacon, eh?

I knew i'd seen this picture before, I photo chopped it (poorly) into Winfall a few years ago.

Excellent! I sometimes have to poorly photo-chop pictures in an attempt to enhance otherwise boring subject matter...that, and everybody seems to like poorly photo-chopped Winfall wimmins.

I saw a container down at the container getting place in Chesapeake- I went there to get a container, after delivering a load of coils in Franklin, Va. after I delivered that load of sand at Griffin Pipe. The James River, from Griffin Pipe. A girl getting in a car. Wide load in Chester, S.C. Saw this big Mack truck in Chester,S.C. too- I took a load of Kyanite down there in a van, came back empty- I'd been there a few times before but didn't remember what a good paying load it was, i'll take all of them I can get! Speaking of race tracks, I passed by the South Boston Speedway on the way to Chester. I took a load of pipes to Washington, Pa. and on the way back I passed by this goat- he's getting a little too close to the highway!

They're my favorite kind- feet on one end, p**** on the other!

I think you're right.

I thought the same thing, I studied the picture before I re-sized it and it does look like her arm is missing below the elbow. I wondered if anybody else would notice. Here's another look, but it looks pretty much the same.

Holy mackle, excellent kodiakatronomy! (randyp,1937)

"I've got a 13 speed transmission with a 3 speed auxiliary and a 2 speed rear end, for a total of 78 forward speeds..."

This is just my opinion, but I think it was because it was just too close to Darlington and Charlotte. I've been to Charlotte many times, where Humpy Wheeler used to say "the pre-race activities are worth the price of admission". And Darlington is just a little ways down the road, it is one of the oldest tracks, and it has the museum and a lot more prestige than Rockingham did, with the Southern 500 being one of the biggest races of the season. So I think if people were going to spend a substantial amount of money going to a NASCAR race in the area, Rockingham ended up being the third choice, even though the racing there was great. Then when NASCAR starting adding new tracks and cutting some tracks back from 2 races a season to one race and dropping some altogether, tracks that didn't pretty much sell out for every race got the ax. I think North Wilkesboro had the same problem, it was too close to Charlotte and Martinsville. I never went to a race at Darlington, but between Charlotte and Rockingham, Charlotte was the show piece, but Rockingham had better racing. The track was just over a mile, Charlotte is a mile and a half, but the speeds were pretty close. They were running in the 160mph. range at Charlotte, and 140's at Rockingham at the time. You could watch at Charlotte and because the track was so big I might think "I could do that", when of course I really couldn't. No such thoughts at Rockingham though- i'd watch and think "holy $#!+, how can they even do that?!!" Couple of Rockingham pics from an old photo album- this is looking towards turns 3 and 4, from the seats on the backstretch. They were the unreserved seats. They had this GMC race truck there- Looking across towards the front stretch grandstands. Looks like a pretty good crowd on this day, eh? I still have a newspaper clipping of the race results. Morgan Shepherd was driving Jack Beebe's Race Hill Farm Buick that was pitting right across from where I was sitting, he finished 4th.

A dog in a car going south on rt. 220. I saw a girl in a car- a real, not even photo-chopped, scantily clad, smokin' hot girl, for the first time in a long time. Saw a girl jogging in Greenville, S.C. Another jogger- Another girl in another car- I had to go to Hoffman, N.C. and get a load of sand after I unloaded in Greenville. Passed by the old Rockingham race track. I went to a few races there in the 80's, drove the truck one time and parked out here in the field- this is at the north end of the speedway, outside turns 3 and 4. This would be turn 4, and the front stretch going in front of the grandstands. You can see U.S. Rt. 1 in the right side of the picture, I came up rt. 177. The dragstrip was over on the other side of rt. 1 from the NASCAR track. Then I got totally soaked- just drenched- tarping that load of sand in a torrential downpour!

Been seeing a lot of turkeys lately. One flew across rt. 24 in front of me the other day when I was going to Dillwyn- along about the same place I almost hit one last week. I saw another one fly across the road on rt. 39 in W.V. Wednesday, and saw two more this morning on the way to Altavista. I was on the way to Altavista, i'm not sure where the turkeys were going. I saw this meatloaf wrapped in bacon smoking on the grill last weekend- it was delicious too! Saw this big Mack truck in Mt. Pleasant, North Carolina ...where I was picking up this load of lumber. Loaded kyanite in Dillwyn after I unloaded the lumber in Troy, Va. Then I went to McKees Rocks and got a load of slit coils going to Lynchburg. I saw a mixer truck after I left Lane Steel. I even saw the goat on Powell Mountain for the first time in a long time!

Indeed- what Vlad said!

That's how I went, 80 to 355 then 38 west all the way to Randall Road, made a left, country club was a little ways down on the left.

Saw this come into a sawmill in Mt. Pleasant, N.C. today when I was there picking up a load of lumber.

60?..Holy mackerel! Well, have a swingin' time!

maybe we'll drive over to visit some day! http://www.maxim.com/maxim-man/russia-proposes-a-superhighway-from-london-to-new-york-so-brace-yourself-for-the-ultimate-road-trip-2016-04?utm_source=fbpartner&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=dailydot
