I would have, but the shed's so cluttered I couldn't find it.

Just sittin' at home, looking at the interweb...I left Concord yesterday morning about 10:30 going to Fairview, Pa. with a load of lumber. A couple of miles from Iron Gate on rt. 220 my red engine light came on and it started pinging. I pulled over and the orange engine light with the little wrench in it came on too. I spun the wheel to see the faults and it said turbo actuator,delta pressure, Bus2,CAN,..that's all I remember. I tried to google CAN and Bus2 but I couldn't find any info, so I have no idea what they mean. I called Jeff yesterday because Dilley had told me when the red light comes on and it starts pinging you'd better be looking for somewhere to pull over, because it's going to shut down. Jeff said it would let you drive 30 miles, so I don't know. He told me to try to get it back to Roanoke. Redneck was with me and he said he would keep on to I-64 and run that back over to 81 and down to Roanoke so I could at least get on the shoulder if it conked out, because if I turned around and went back down 220, which was much shorter, it would quit on the 2 lane part for sure. The light went off when I was pulling North Mountain and stayed off until I got all the way to 581, but it was surging and would quit pulling periodically all the way down 81 and the turbo boost would drop. I parked it outside the gate at Truck Enterprises and Tom who works in the shop bob tailed up there in the new white T800 to pick me up. That was the only truck sitting there with fuel in it he said. He brought a truck in case I didn't make it to Roanoke he could at least bring the trailer in. I was just about to call headquarters a few minutes ago to see if they'd heard anything when Jeff called to ask where i'd put the keys, so apparently they're just now about to pull it in the shop. I guess I should have told them the keys were in the side box under the box of triangle reflectors. I don't know if it's a sensor issue, electrical problem, or the turbo's going bad. It's on the third turbo now, has a little over 400,000 miles on it. A new turbo's about $6,000- hope it's still under warranty.

Yeah, i'm on the right side of the road. You, on the other hand... These videos are at least 4 years old, been driving the KW 4 years in October. Stuck a little Kodak camera up on the dash and took them. That was the ol' Pete I used to drive with the 550 Cat and 18 speed.

Here's a little video I took over on Hawk's Nest several years ago. This one is heading east on rt. 60, coming off the mountain into Rainelle.

pretty sure it's ethanol

I ordered 2 Cannonball DVDs from https://www.robertsvideos.com/several years ago, with 2 episodes on each disc. I saw this when I just did the google search to copy the link- http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/ROBERTS-HARD-TO-FIND-VIDEOS/Saskatoon-Saskatchewan-S7H-3H7/ROBERTS-HARD-TO-FIND-VIDEOS-ripoff-fraud-business-Credit-card-fraud-does-not-send-videos-a-29919 I didn't have any problems when I ordered mine.

...of yellow jackets this morning. I did the usual walk-around this morning before I left and saw them flying around to-and-fro. Saw the hole they were going in and out of- it was only about 10 feet from where I abandoned the mower and took off running. I had practically been standing on top of it when I went back looking for a nest, and never saw a thing. So I went to the shed and prepared my weapons- the Yuengling can is full of Citgo unleaded gasoline. I poured the gas in the hole, then sprayed a trail of starting fluid back about 10 or 12 feet and flicked my Bic. I didn't see any sign of activity around the hole when I got home this evening.

I saw that truck on the restaurant on TV. That was the Pelletier's- probably spelled that wrong- of Pelletier Logging. They had a reality show for a season or two, but I can't remember the name of it now. They hauled wood from Maine to Canada on a private road, ran a bunch of Western Stars, got a new Mack Titan...anyhow, nice girls in cars too!

I never actually see anything like that in real life, like you do in sunny south Florida, so I had to go to the interweb.

hey thanks Bob, never heard of that, i'm gonna check it out now!

I like Rawhide, that comes on on Saturday morning here, just before The Rifleman! Wish I could get Combat, loved that show when I was a kid.

In fact, i'd better throw in a couple more from the inter-web.

I saw on Fox News this morning that Connecticut has done away with the death penalty. This story was one of the main points people were making as to why there should be a death penalty-http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/07/nyregion/07slay.html This is a case where I believe the death sentence would have been appropiate, but he got life instead-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Appomattox_shootings Ronald Scruggs was my wife Becky's sister's son. This case ,http://murderpedia.org/male.W/w/williams-michael-wayne.htm and all the above cases, make me think some people should just be dragged to the highest tree on the courthouse lawn and hanged- if it's open and shut, no doubt about guilt, there should be no b.s, no appeals, just hang 'em from the highest tree. Leave the bodies swinging, Josie Wales said buzzards gotta eat too, then maybe people would think twice before they did something stupid. Morris Keller's younger brother was my best friend all through elementary school.

Creepy indeed, that's just nasty looking! I'd better re-run an old girl in a car picture-

Nice B!..by the way, do you mine for poon as in poon-tang, or is there another kind of poon?

oh,

who?

Me too, especially green stuff with pictures of past presidents on it.

I'm planning on going to Winchester, unless something unexpected gets in my way.

I'm gonna fold- your girl in a car is way better than mine!

That's it in a nutshell. Makes you wonder what people are thinking, if anything- if Michael Brown had just gotten out of the street like the officer told him to instead of resisting he wouldn't have been shot... if Kevin Ward hadn't gotten out of his car and walked down the track in a dark firesuit while under the influence of marijuana and tried to tackle Tony Stewart's car...his family wouldn't have anything to sue Tony over.

Big lift with a scrap scoop at Pennex Aluminum in Greenville, Pa. Load of big Mack trucks at the Sheetz in Du Bois, Pa. Looking to the west from I-99, somewhere around Roaring Spring, Pa. I saw lots of wildlife this week too- I saw a goat, a deer, a frog down there in that hole, a groundhog out there in that field, a big praying mantis on this Freightliner dump truck, a big tobacco worm eating my tomatoes, and a girl in a car.

Holy mackerel, when it rains it pours! Sounds like y'all could use about 4'' of rain about now too.

It was looking like this Monday morning It seems to be healing, it doesn't hurt, and looks like this now- There's one of the little bas-, uh, creatures now, on that hummingbird feeder.

The place on my ankle was infected looking this morning- I don't know if it was stinging me or biting me there, it was on the outside of my sock. I put some dollar-store equivalent of neosporin on it before I left. Still looks nasty, but it doesn't hurt any more.All last night it felt about like holding a lit cigarette on my ankle. Never had a wasp or bee sting do that before. And I didn't even gain any super-powers!
