...or- "my check engine light is on- says it's low on water, what should I do?" " just put some water in the radiator, dumb ass!" "oh, ok-that sounds easy enough"

Maybe your cattywompus needs adjusting too.

I got nothing this week, except a blurry Bighorn...and this blurry Superliner dump truck i've posted several times before- The bridge in Steubenville, Ohio with blue lights on it, but the windshield is covered with bugs. Trucks at Tucker Equipment in Lisbon, Ohio. I'll just get some random pictures from the interweb machine- An early picture of the Beatles, when they were still a five man band. They decided the xylophone just didn't fit their style, so they fired the xylophone player and immediately became rich and famous. An early picture of the Rolling Stones. They decided they didn't need a xylophone player if the Beatles didn't, so they fired him and became rich and famous. The xylophone player was not discouraged however, he gave up his music career and moved to Hollywood where he appeared in many motion pictures, and became rich and famous. The end.

Yep, that one was at Winchester in '06 or '7, but I haven't seen it since.

More Dodges i've seen at ATHS shows in Troutman, N.C, Lincolnton, N.C, and Winchester, Va. These were just super sharp looking-

I wasn't looking forward to riding that bicycle up there. I'd have to run Hawk's Nest because I don't think I could maintain the minimum speed pedaling up Sandstone Mountain.

ha-ha, told you I saw Bighorn! Thanks for co-robber rating my story Larry, I thought you might know of it, I saw it between Canton and Newcomerstown.

It is, it is!..now i'm gonna have to ride my bicycle back to Ohio and camp out on an overpass until I see it again and get a good picture of it. Saw a nice looking cabover KW at Fairplain, W.V. too. Got a decent picture of that except for the windshield being dirty.

I saw a Superliner in Fairplain, West Virginia yesterday.

The picture is terrible, but that's what it is. Saw it hauling logs on I-77 in Ohio yesterday. By the time I saw it and got my camera out it was too late to get a picture out of the windshield so I went for the side glass, and that's the hardest picture to get. It was going north at 70 mph, I was going south at 70 mph, and it was raining too. That's all my excuses, until I think of more. I've seen them before hauling those long logs, maybe i'll see it again and get a better picture. I think there's two of them, but i'm not sure.

...and of course there's no restrictions on how long they can drive either. They can leave northern Idaho after they get off work and drive straight to sunny south Florida without a break if they want to,

I think it's a girl Vlad, but i'm not sure- thought it was a leopard crossing the street at first.

That one in Harrisonburg looks like one i've met on rt. 259 north of Broadway several times, never been able to get a picture of it because it always caught me by surprise.

Jeff and Todd Moore were there somewhere. Jeff was very impressed with a Rawhide he saw and sat in, now he's getting a price on one. He really liked the interior. I told him before what a good looking truck they were. I said "that 505 hp. with an 18 speed is a fine ride" and he said "the one I looked at had the M-drive". I'll compromise, maybe Barry can give him a better price than Roanoke on a 485hp. with a 13 speed- i'd drive that. Guess i'd drive an M- drive too if he got one, but I doubt if he'll buy anything now. The KW i'm driving now has less than 300,000 miles on it, and it's been a pretty good truck.

We have a Jehovah's Witness that stops by here about every 2 or 3 weeks. I went to a Baptist church myself and I don't even know what Jehovah's Witnesses believe that's different, if anything, but I don't hide like some people when they come by- I actually enjoy talking to Ed. He always asks about work, trucking, the weather, the garden, and so on. He doesn't stay too long, reads a bible verse before he goes, leaves the pamphlets, and is on his way. Real nice guy.

I haven't used this for several years now, but when they make their big come-back I hope to catch and cook lots of them.

You're right about that. But I jumped to conclusions too when I read the story in the paper this morning. When it said the truck crossed the median- exactly opposite of what I was expecting to read- my first thought was that the driver might have had a heart attack or some other medical emergency. Once again a four wheeler caused it, as is usually the case, and we'd probably never have heard that on the news. It's always a truck drivers fault if a truck is involved. I'm on the road 5 or 6 days a week every week, and have been for over 35 years, and I have to do something every day- every day- to avoid an accident that would be a 4 wheelers fault. But we're incompetent fools and criminals because we drive a truck, don't even have sense enough to know if we're tired or not, so the gummint must tell me when to drive and when to rest...doesn't matter whether i'm really tired or feeling good, just work when they say work and rest when they say rest, because I'm too stupid to know how i'm feeling on my own. BP's gettin' up, better go- Thanks again Bob.

thanks Bob.

I've thought the same thing, wish I had kept some of those signs, but you had to turn them in with the paperwork at the end of the trip or they'd keep part of the money. I hated taping them to the door, it was hard to get all the tape off afterwards. If I got checked at the scales while trip leased and they wanted to know why I didn't have the signs on i'd just show them the signs and say "it was raining when I left and I was afraid they'd blow off, and if I lose them it'll cost a couple hundred dollars", even if it hadn't rained for 2 months. They never bothered me for it, or made me put them on though.

I have a "Hula popper" fishing lure...never caught anything on it though.

Jo was cooking again... Red truck for sale in Nettie, West Virginia. Green truck for sale in Va. A big single coil on that W900 KW over there. A big Mack dump truck in W.V. A big Mack wrecker truck in Pa.. A big Mack truck coming down Powell Mountain with a load of wood. A big Mack truck under a bridge with a load of wood. A load of logs going up the hill, pulled by an IH though. Figured i'd best get around this, before something fell off. Saw this in Summersville- kind of reminded me of C&A Transport from "Cannonball".

Yep, a B 275. One of our neighbors had one when I was a young lad, and my Dad had a B414.

Exactly! Wonder how much that will add to the price of a new vehicle? Bet the back up camera making people are jumping up and down and clapping their hands though.

It is, I saw your post and remembered the pic. I had.

I do not know, I saved this pic. a long time ago, I think it was from Australia. I just liked it because it had the Superliner, B model, and H model all together. I believe it's called a B train, just because j hancock says so.
