They don't even have the turnpike cleared. Usually they'll have the turnpike clean, 64 from the Va. line to Beckley is usually the worst part. Don't see any cameras on Sandstone Mountain. http://www.wv511.org/#CameraPopup:532760 Just got a call from headquarters- they said to just stay home today. I'd already pretty much came to the same conclusion. Still snowing hard.

I don't know what to do- guess i'll sit tight for a while. I looked at traffic cameras on trafficland, va511, and wv511. Looks like the interstate from Covington to Charleston is snow covered now. It was 36 degrees and raining when I got up, now it's 32 and sleeting. Only supposed to get worse during the day, calling for 27 degrees and snow this evening, down to 9 tonight. Maybe i'll just wait until tomorrow, supposed to be 36 degrees and cloudy, but no snow. Oh...just glanced out the kitchen window, and it's stopped sleeting- now it's snowing, hammer down!

It might help to get the speedometer fixed before you go to court too. If you tell the judge it was broken, and show him the receipt where you had it fixed, he might reduce it to defective equipment or something.

Seen this one on facebook.

You have a quadruplex, but you shift it like a triplex on the road.

Where in Va. are you? I'm near Lynchburg, drive for F.L.Moore and Sons out of Concord, Va.

It remains a mystery...perhaps an alien abduction case.

Of course- if it's on the internet, it's got to be true. I heard that on the TV.

I don't need anything moved to Texas, but i'd hate to see you miss your wedding so i'll donate a few bucks to the RowdyRebel'sweddingfunddrive.

you're not in Brisbane, you're in New Hampster- says so right there.

Not much to be seen this week, been running mill rolls from Petersburg, Va. to Milton, W.V. all week. I should be in Milton right now, but I had to wait 10 hours last night while they finished cutting the second roll. Got there about 4:30-quarter to 5 yesterday evening and left this morning at 4am. Went straight to Petersburg and unloaded and loaded up another one, which i'll just take up there Monday. The wind has been wicked all week, not just Tuesday. I think yesterday was the worst- weather channel in Lewisburg said there were gusts up to 55mph. Here's a picture of the wind blowing- ...OK, moving on- I did get a better picture. Neat looking tall skinny house in Iron Gate, Va. Even has a red and yellow Smart Car in the driveway. Saw this parking lot coming down Sandstone Mountain with his trailer brakes smoking. He went in the runaway ramp- I was talking to NoClueJoe66 on the phone and watching in the mirror, I think he managed to get it stopped on the edge of the escape ramp without getting over in the pea gravel. He wasn't going all that fast, and if you get in the gravel you aren't coming out without a wrecker, and probably a substantional bill. Fueled at Lee-Hi- lot different now than in Mark's picture, and I didn't even get all of it in the picture. Saw one of those SGT trucks this morning. The Mack trucks lined up at the mill. They load beams on these trailers up there where the Big Red Taylor is and carry them out to the yard where they're stockpiled. The gps- A while back A driver going west on 460 asked me if I knew where the sawmill he was going to in Blackstone was. I told him "yeah, just turn left at the first Blackstone exit, it's rt.460 business, sawmill's a little ways on the left." Then he said "oh, never mind, my gps said to turn here." So he turned there... It was still 15 miles to Blackstone. He should have turned here- There's the sawmill he was looking for, up there on the left.

I usually put at least three chains and three straps on the rolls. Can't use chains on the ring or the part that goes in the bearings, so I try to get a strap across the ring and one on each side of the ring. No telling how long the bar was cracked, might have put too much pressure on a load of lumber.

Wonderful...but I was really hoping to win the new Chevette, must have been behind door no. 2.

Wow! That's pretty rough to have to deal with there.

oh...I meant no clue as in "I have no clue"- you can just mail me my prize-woo-hoo!

That's what I was saying about "stuff happens", you try to be careful, but it can happen to anybody. I loaded a load of sheetrock in Philadelphia one Friday morning in 1980 and unloaded in Fredericksburg, Va. that afternoon. I was driving an '84 K100, going across rt. 20 over to Orange, where i'd take 15 south to go home. It was raining and a car pulled out in front of me from a store. I hit the brakes and started sliding, got off the brakes, car still sitting there, jump on the brakes again, see I won't be able to stop in time, so I got off the brakes to pass in the left turn lane, and sure enough- the car decides to turn left. I nailed him in the left rear quarter panel, and I also got a ticket. Just bent the bumper a little on the truck, I drove it on home. Probably totaled that p.o.s. Cordova I hit. He shouldn't have pulled out, and when he did he shouldn't have been lollygagging around. They go by the "big truck rule" there, which states "Whenever there's an accident involving a big truck, the big truck is automatically at fault, regardless of the circumstances".

Saw this IH today. And this car- i'll get a better picture of this, it's sitting out here at the stop sign. I took a rooma-zoom-zoom drive-by today in the pickup.

Got a nice package in the mail, some pictures and and brochures of a D860 GMC. I put it in the corner cabinet with my truck stuff, at least for the time being. Thanks Joe Ditchkus, thank you very much indeed.

No Clue.

Got one of these on it, not visible in the picture.

Not really Vinny, it was on a page called American Trucks,Past and Present.

Saw this on facebook.
