other dog

Thanks, Brocky and Vlad. You can see a man standing in the river fishing when you biggerize the last river picture.

I don't know what it is, but It has a big motor in it. It either has a blower or a tunnel ram intake on it. I need to get a picture when i'm going in the other direction.

Saw a nice looking bike with a side car when I left here going to work last Sunday. Never got a good picture, but you don't see them around these parts very much. Train in McKees Rocks. Plane in the sky. I also saw a UFO in the sky. Then mere seconds later I saw a Metlife blimp in the sky. Just who comes up with these road names anyway? I saw a girl in a car. I had to go from from Mckees Rocks to Hanover, Md. so I went across I-68. Very scenic, but lots of hills to climb...and unclimb. I'm headed over to that big notch over there- You can see where the old road goes up the side of the mountain, behind that splattered bug. It crossed the top under that other bug, in that little notch near those towers. That's the old road going up the mountain. I guess you could still go that way if you wanted to. Now i'm almost up to the big notch. You can see all the way to...all the way over yonder from the top. Got a load of skidded slit coils on. Sitting at N.B.Handy in Hanover,Md. Not far from BWI airport. That's where I took the plane pictures, but it was getting dark. Then I went up to Wellsville, Pa. and picked up some aluminum logs. Saw these aluminum ingots stacked up there.These came out of Quebec.I saw the Alcoa plant there on Google-Earth. Shenandoah river near Harper's Ferry, W.V. I went down rt.15 to 340 to 66 to 17 to 95 to bypass the Baltimore and DC traffic. Saw the old trucks near Warren, Pa. Some are for sale, maybe all of them. Saw an Astro out back with a sign in front of it too, but didn't get a picture. A big leg woman in a car. Car for sale. Hay on the hillside.

Wow! Excellent kodiakatronomy there!

Happy unknown birthday then!

Happy birthday!

That's them! Those two girls were behind the truck shoveling snow when I took the picture- that's them all right!

.

I did go to Seattle this week and saw a 58 FWD spun out during a freak snow storm at the Idaho-Montana line, but it couldn't have been his way out there...could it?

Ran across this one on facebook a few minutes ago.

pretty neat, I was expecting to see a bottle of windex and a roll of paper towels or something!

ok...what's the 250 club? want me to send you a camera, I still have my old Canon.

Thanks Ed, they're especially for you, I know you probably don't get to see many scantily clad wimmins down in sunny south Florida.

don't know yet, I gotta git to tha' sto'. Might even get a haircut.

I don't have many quality pictures this week, but a vast quantity. Saw a woman picking up this brush in the road. I think she was hauling it and lost part of her load- I would have helped, but she was loading the last piece when I got there. A happy looking hound. The dark and stormy trail to Warren, Pa. Big orange truck. Little orange tractor. This bush must have never been trimmed, looks like it's about to swallow the house. I saw an old Chevrolet dump truck for sale at the end of the rainbow. Girl getting gas at Sheetz wearing cut off shorts so short you can see the pockets- just the way I like 'em! I'm always on the lookout for U models and scantily clad wimmins. Saw a girl loading a cooler at the Sheetz store. I saw Afton Mountain. Waynesboro's down there. Saw a big Mack truck in Harrisonburg. and a big yellow machine going south on rt. 11. Autocar wrecker. Endless Caverns sign on the mountain. I was behind a horse trailer at a red light when I took this one. Goats on the hill... and some more who strayed away from the rest to where the grass was greener. Road shots- View from the top. Big hole. Girls heading into the Foxes Den in Weirton, W.V. I saw a whole herd of them crossing the street there one night,but it was too dark to take a picture. Ti Booby bar in Newell,W.V. A big Mack truck. They got a short hood Brockway in the lineup now. I saw a bear holding a mailbox, obviously a trick to ambush the mailman. Zebra truck in Lynchburg. And I also saw a girl in a car.

I've got old pictures, truck show pictures from Colfax and Lincolnton,N.C. and Winchchester,Va. and other stuff on there too. It's a lot easier to upload pictures to flickr than it used to be, took maybe 5 minutes to put all those pictures on there. Those trucks are spread out over a wide area at Mr. Duncan's. I sent a drone over with a secret spy camera to take an aerial photo. The two buildings to the left are just crammed full of trucks and stuff, plus there's more sitting all around outside. The highbinder, crackerbox GMC, and others were all the way over in the field on the far right. Lot of walking!

Here's the rest of the pictures I took- https://www.flickr.com/photos/28526133@N04/

More of the International... and Hendrickson...

Looks like this was pusher...wonder what it pushed?

I did! I was standing on the back of another truck when I took it, looks like you were too. That place is crammed full of stuff.

Almost forgot the Dodge.

Those old emblems are probably worth a small fortune, and I didn't take picture around the walls but it's loaded with old signs, dozens of them. The American pickers would have a field day there,they love old signs. Saw another thing of interest while I was there. This Jeep used to belong to my father-in-law. He sold it to a guy I used to work with at H.H.Moore's, probably in the late 80's. The guy that bought it still drives for F.L.M. in fact. Anyway, he must have sold it to somebody else, because it sat up on rt. 20 between Dillwyn and Scottsville for several years at a little place called Centenary. I hadn't seen it there for years and had no idea what became of it. I thought about it every time I passed by when I went up rt. 20 to Charlottesville, and whaddya know, there it was at P.L.Duncan's. It was still all green when my father-in-law had it but it's a little rusty now. I still recognized it right away because of that aluminum top, never seen another one like it, and more so because of that big winch mount in front. He had a big winch made out of a 3 speed transmission on the front of it and took it off and put it on his '66 Scout 800 when he sold the Jeep. And I saw another thing of interest to me while I was there. This D860 used to be a wrecker at Cumberland Auto Service. I worked there after I finished high school, it was my first job. I was there 2 1/2 years, and thought that old GMC was just the greatest truck ever. First "big truck", or diesel, I got to drive, except for a Euclid. It has a 6-71 with a 5 speed and 2 speed rear, and it just sounded great, like a 6-71...sorry Yardo, I was easily impressed... After I left there and went on to bigger and- well, after I left the owner sold the 860 to a local farmer who put a grain body on it and added another axle, and he put the wrecker on this 9500 GMC. (see,it's blue like the 860) The farmer sold it to another man a few years ago, and when I stopped and took the pictures he said he planned to make a roll-back out of it. You could see it from rt. 60 when this guy had it, then it disappeared again. I asked my brother and Mom and Dad what he had done with and where it was, but they didn't know. And whaddya know, there it was at P.L.Duncan's! You can see where they removed the other axle, and you can still see "Cumberland Auto Service" on the doors! So, if you're wondering what happened to something or where something might be that you've lost track of, P.L.Duncan probably has it...

Just a personal collection, gathered over many years. He owns a trucking company too, I don't think he wants to sell anything. He has a ton of stuff in the old store too, which closed in 1981. There was actually some canned food, spices, kool-aid, some medicine, and other stuff left from the store, plus lots of old signs, oil, antifreeze- had one gallon metal cans of Ford anti-freeze on the shelf, marked $1. Check out the songs on this old jukebox-

Speaking of dogs, the half dogs on the hoods used to be a lot bigger. How about this IH with a sleeper. Saw one like this on Hank's Truck Pictures one time, it was an old Mayflower truck I think. Even saw a red, black,and blue Brown.
