other dog

I was just fixin' to post that! I went and found it, I ordered several extra copies of it, and took a picture of that picture. I also noticed it was a Hayes on the cover, not a Pacific. I also got the magazine info in case anyone wanted to subscribe or order back issues. This form has a different back issue order form, with the box for the 58FWD on it, in case you only want the 58FWD issue- that would be the February/March 2014 issue.

I never noticed that you were a redhead before, or I might have stopped...if I had time...but probably not. Maybe someday you'll get to ride in a big red truck- maybe you should go hang out around the firehouse, they have big red trucks.

Got lots of pictures last week, not so much this week. Just some brakes smoking coming down Sandstone Mountain. And a slightly better picture of the MH and IH tractor. Lots of goats on the cliffs of Moorefield. I hope this is the last picture of snow I take this year! I passed about a dozen of these Halliburton trucks on I-79 in West Virginia Thursday. I don't know what they are, but they must have been heavy because they were really slow getting up the hills. They had huge V12- looking engines on the trailers, amongst all that other weird looking equipment. ...And the best fish sammich ever, from the Fairgrounds Market in Butler, Pa.

It's a good magazine, I like it better than Wheels of Time- has more pictures. My mixer was in "Kicking Tires" several years ago, in the issue with the yellow Pacific on the cover. Joe Ditchkus and Mike Harbison were listed as charter members in the last issue too.

The Mack and Freightliner salesman that comes by the shop periodically is one of the brothers that owns Abilene Trucking and the museum and the farm and who knows what else, and he said they have at least one model of every kind of tractor ever made. I can believe it too. They had several kinds that i'd never even heard of before.

You should take a ride over there. 43 degrees here now, supposed to be 52 this afternoon with 70% chance of showers- that's for Lynchburg. Probability drops to 20% this evening, 0 tonight, so it might clear off. There'll probably be plenty of no-shows because of the weather, like there was at Bristol. I used to go to Martinsville all the time in the 80's-90's. We'd just leave Appomattox early in the morning and get unreserved seats. At the time the bottom 7 rows on the backstretch were all unreserved, don't know if it's like that now or not. And yeah, i've had a few little red Jesse Jones hotdogs.

Yeah, I switched to google chrome and it's about all i use now, just go to aol and internet explorer once in a while to check my e mail.

You could do that, or as soon as you click "paste" you can turn around in a circle repeatedly while rubbing your belly with one hand and patting yourself on the head with your other hand- always worked for me.

I'll have to disagree with you on that Larry- i'm sure it goes way faster than I want to go. I like my 4 cyl. Ranger that won't get out of it's own way!

Bet you're going to that place on rt. 21 just north of where 250 turns off, passed that tanker place many times. The little truckstop there at rt.250 used to have good food, but I haven't been in there for several years, when I used to run to Fremont,Ohio about every week.

I still think all the people with their hands out put him in office- the "we want our free shit" people.

Oh.

I'm assuming you're not talking about the wife?

That's what I did. I switched from AOL to IE because AOL started to suck, then when I discovered google chrome I started using that and have ever since, everything seems to be bigger, stronger, faster...

The landfill I went to was right on rt. 322, near Beartown. You had to turn right, or south, off of 322 to get to the actual town of Narvon. I saw the sign, but didn't make a visit.

Part Two... and now- the rest of the story. I met some more dogs on the way back to the truck Wednesday morning, but these were friendlies. I was ready for them this time anyway, I brought 2 of Other Dog's begging strips with me. I gave the first two dogs a treat, then another big red dog with black tiger stripes came out to see what was going on. I felt bad that I didn't have any more, so I started to walk back home and get more...not really, I was well over half way there. Then they all went home and left me alone. Almost there! Saw this red machine with a blue bucket at Long Island Lumber. Saw this familiar looking truck on I-64 in West Virginia. Never thought i'd be passing it..........but I did. I kept watching my mirrors going up Sandstone, expecting it to blow my doors off, but I never saw it again. They unloaded 4 or 5 loads of mats here in Jewett, Ohio, then they said they were going to unload me and another truck someplace else. So we followed the pickup- turned off on a little narrow road, then turned off of that road onto a dirt road. Went past the dog... and on and on and up the hill and around the curve to the track hoe way over there. They used a skidder to move the mats around- a nice skidder too. Looks like another MH and a Cruiseliner on 422, a little was east of Indiana. I like this old Ford- looks like the model Vlad posted. Saw this at N.B.Handy in Lynchburg this morning. Followed this Mack chip truck down Long Island Road this morning. He was moving on pretty good, about as fast as I usually go empty. Chips are very top-heavy. Pretty neat trailer moving arappatattus,eh? A big Mack truck. Cabbage plants look fine too.

That bridge is on 295 between Richmond and Petersburg.

Pennex Aluminum, it's over in an industrial park next door to the Werner ladder place.

Looks great!

Tore up Western Star.

There I was walking down the road in the snow carrying a 12 pack of beer, and no one offered me a ride. Thought I might have to use it as a weapon when those two dogs came after me, but one was friendly and I gave him a pat on his head. The other one followed me for about 50 yards or more, right behind me and barking the whole time. Then he stopped following me and stood in the road watching and barking at me until I made a left turn on Wyatt Miles Road and got out of his sight.

I know she was expecting a ride in that big red truck, but she didn't fool me- I could tell she was from Winfall so I didn't even slow down.

yeah, and it's still snowing- it's crazy! supposed to be 60 degrees again by Friday, 70 Saturday. Hope this is all the snow for this year.

I'm with you on that! I started out to work today and the roads were so bad I parked the truck and walked 2 miles home- and it's still snowing here!
