  1. Geez, i've been running my ass off this week, like these two women here- I went to Canton and back, Milton and back, Ambridge and back, then went from Roanoke to Petersburg yesterday and brought a load back to the yard. Saw this wrecker at Alta, W.V. Wild turkeys in the field just down the road from here. Mill roll I picked up Tuesday. It was quite a job chaining this unit down- I did it all standing on the ground. They won't let you get on the trailer at Gerdau-Ameristeel for any reason. They don't care if you fall off the trailer, just do it somewhere else and not on their property. Usually the rolls are in a rack like this- and i'll just strap it and leave and go across rt.1 to the big dirt parking lot by the store and chain them, but this one wouldn't fit in a rack because of the big block on the end of it and I was afraid to go without chains on it. Had to set it on 4x4s in coil racks. The bearing was bad in that block and it wouldn't turn and they couldn't get it off, that's why it had to go to Milton. I saw a dog at Lee-Hi. A burned up truck on the W.V. Turnpike. Nice looking IH at the mill. A girl in a car. Later, that same day, I saw another girl in another car. Nice looking 3000 White in Canton. Freightrain might know this truck. Nice looking car hauler and drag car in Canton, but it was blurry. Big Mack at Newcomerstown Truckstop. Units in Roanoke- Big ape in Dover.
  2. Probably have better luck with the 9- my brother set up a game camera to watch bears that would come out into a field at my grandfather's old place. You had to go about a mile off the highway to get back to the fields. He raised some crops there, the house was long gone, and there was nothing else there except a little hunting cabin they built. Some a-hole stole the camera.

  5. I called Bill Tuesday to thank him, and sent him an e-mail. He said he only had a few copies printed to send to people around the world. It's not really a book written as a continuous story of his life, just the stories from his website put into book form in chronological order- still a nice book. I will let him know there is some interest if he did decide to have more copies printed. And sorry Ed, there's only a few pictures in it. I can go to his website and print the pictures for you and staple them into a book for you for a small fee- staple- $6 paper- $14 ink- $43 shipping and handling- $39
  6. Holy mackerel, when is someone gonna finally go by the common sense rule? If a situation like this backs up traffic for miles, just imagine how much worse it's gonna be when everybody is running at the same speed. What a fuster cluck that's gonna be!
  7. Today, I saw some birds in a field.

  8. I got a package in the mail from Old Bill today- I always told him he should write a book! It's got all the stories that's on his website, plus some new ones, and a lot about what he's got going on now. I don't know if it's available for sale or how many copies he had printed, but i'll pass the info. on if copies are for sale, it's a nice book full of great stories.
  9. oh yes, that's totally acceptable.
  10. I used to get those little cans of tomato juice and a quart of beer when I had a hangover. I'd drink enough of the beer to pour the can of tomato juice in it, then drink it down...not bad! I used to buy Clamato juice to drink by itself, it's just delicious. I bought a bottle at Dodd's Store one time on the way to Covington and the woman in the store said only one other person bought it regularly, and he put it in his beer. So I tried it when I got home- drank a couple swallows of beer, then topped it off with the Clamato juice. I've been drinking it ever since. I tried that Budweiser/Clamato premixed concoction too because i'd been doing it for years, but there's no comparison. That stuff sucks. Get the Clamato and mix your own and give it a try. The only drawback is that it's so good I tend to drink more than I should sometimes.
  11. Yeah, he always looked like this in all the pictures i've ever seen. I took this when he was posing by his B model right after a concert in Goodlettsville, Tn. in 1963.
  12. ...but you still need a flag on that 50' overhang.
  13. Sorry about your misfortune, sure makes cabbage worms seem unimportant. You look really pissed in the first picture, but you look pretty chilled in the next one. Hope they catch the coc- no,can't say that....hope they catch the mot- can't say that...hope they catch the bast- hmmmmm, can't say that either...hope they catch those crooks, nothing's worse than thieves and liars!
  14. ...and there's no way the slightly slower truck is gonna back off just for a few seconds to let the slightly faster truck get by, just ain't gonna happen...
  15. Yeah, that was about the best looking cabbage i've grown since I moved over here from Appomattox. I pulled up the three worst looking ones and planted some eggplant where they were. I planted it in March I think, it snowed on it about a week after I planted it. I was going to try making homemade sauerkraut this year too. Maybe i'll try some winter cabbage.
  16. I've never seen him without a beard and a cowboy hat pulled down over his eyes.
  17. B model on rt.67 in New York, just west of the Vt. line. Nocluejoe66 found this one. I saw this big green Mack in Ambridge, Pa. I thought this long load was trying to get out of this road at first, but he got straightened out and was backing in to unload the beam down there somewhere. Saw this long and apparently very heavy load on I-77. Had a big Western Star pulling it. B models at Tucker Equipment. Saw this service truck in Petersburg. The MH that's usually sitting here was gone, but I got a good picture of the tractor- except for the bugs on the windshield getting in the way. Nice decal. Saw this nice looking Nova in West Va, it was a little too dark to get a clear picture. It had Yenko emblems on it, whether it's a real Yenko or not I have no idea, but it was super sharp looking. What you don't like to see on I-81. A 67 and 1/2 mph. truck passing a 67 mph. truck. Last pictures of the cabbage before I pull them up. The dreaded worms got them, I think all but a couple are totally ruined. The last thing I did before I left Monday was spray them with Cedarcide, then dusted them, and the worms still ate 'em up. Those bastards! There's one right there! At least the tomatoes look OK- so far.
  18. Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent?..58FWD?
  19. A lot of them ride like that- I know not why, but I like it!
  20. That's what i'm hoping for, don't know if it'll ever happen. Jeff was very impressed with the one he looked at at the show in Louisville earlier this year. He usually keeps his trucks until they've got 6 to 700,000 miles on them though, and i've only got 288,000 now.
  21. but why was Tim McGraw kissing the bride?..Dozer should've bit him. And where was Faith while all that was going on?
  22. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
