other dog

Nah, i've had boston butts smoking since 4am. They've already got a pile of Prostars, this is the first Lonestar though.

I told Jeff I was gonna do that, but I put it in the fan belt hall of fame- I hung it on the wall in the shop.

I saw some big Mack trucks Monday when I went to load at what used to be Cycle Systems in Lynchburg. Now it's owned by Gerdau. The mud there was knee deep and when we tried to back around through the mud and up over the hump and around the bend to back down the train tracks the frame rails on the drop deck trailer would bottom out on the hump and I was stuck. Tore a mudflap off in the mud trying to get in there. So they moved a few train cars so I could pull in and then turn left up the tracks, and then back down the tracks to the crane. By the time I got chained down I was covered with mud. Road shots, rt.220 at Eagle Rock. A girl in a car. The red light on the amp meter gauge came on on the way to McKeesport, it was showing discharge and the volt meter dropped to 12. So I told Wooly Booger "My fan belt just broke". So we pulled over on 79 at the end of the ramp at the rest area at the 50 mile marker, opened the hood,I pulled the broken belt out, and there was a piece left that was only 2 ribs wide, but it was whole. It wasn't much bigger than a shoestring but I got it back on, skinning my arm up in the process. Those fan blades are sharp. I said "this is a big waste of time, this belt won't last 5 minutes". But lasted all the way to Mckeesport. Then Tuesday morning I figured i'd go load at Gav-Tech in Pittsburgh then run over to the KW place in New Stanton. Called New Stanton, they didn't have the belt. So I figure i'll head on down 79 and stop at KW in Jane Lew and get one. When I got to Jane Lew it still hadn't broken so I never slowed down- I could make it to Concord by dark anyway. And I did, and that little piece of belt never did break. That's all I had left but it lasted about 500 miles...hey, that's blood on the fan shroud. Saw this girl in this car driving completely by mind control- and we weren't at a stoplight this time, she was motoring down I-85. Saw some kind of creature. Yep, those two Diamond Reos are still sitting there. I thought I saw a USA Truck on 81 in Wytheville that was going to turn over any minute, so I had my camera ready so I could post it on youtube. But it was just the trailer being pulled by a wrecker. Traffic on the D.C. beltway yesterday morning. I had to go from Atlanta to Baltimore and unload yesterday morning. Saw a pedestrian sipping a soda on the way back too. And a big yellow machine going north on rt. 15. Came through Fork Union, but saw no evidence of 41Chevy being there. Saw a new unit at the yard when I got in.

Yeah, sure you didn't- I think you wanted to show off. Well done!

I have a dog on duty to keep the squirrels away. Huh?..you talkin' to me? never mind.

I put some stuff in the compost bin yesterday and noticed this half eaten pear on the ground under the pear tree. And there was only one pear left on the whole tree- stupid squirrels! And I know the rules- no pictures, it didn't happen. But- I stopped by the dumpster on the way to the store yesterday. After I slung my bag of empty beer cans trash into the dumpster I noticed a bunch of kid's toys laying on the ground, lots of dolls and stuffed animals. One doll was huge, about 3 feets tall with curly blonde hair. And one of the stuffed toys was a big pony about 4 feet long. Sooooo...when I got done the doll was in the "feet back and spread 'em" position, bending over with it's hands on the little concrete wall and the pony was straddling it. I got back in the pickup and Jo was trying to make herself even smaller than she is, which is pretty small. I said "where's the camera?" and she said "it's in the glove compartment...of my car." She always had her camera in the truck, but not then. That's her story anyway. I thought it was pretty funny, but then my sense of humor is a little different from most people's I guess.

Big fish in a small pond- randyp,2010

I can see letting her paint the nails, but i'm surprised he let her shave him and cut all his hair off.

...or stock it with catfish.

I might see you on rt.11 or 80 or 79 sometime, I travel that part of the world pretty often.

I like when he grabbed the dog and flung him into the water.

I looked on google earth too, and saw the beach that girl was sitting on, the ferry, and the ice crossing. Neat stuff.

Geez, is that all you ever think about?..here they are- poorly photochopped wimmens of Siberia.

I see a few MHs around. There's one sitting in Roanoke, the one in Indiana,Pa, and a beautiful red-ish, orange-ish, striped, chromed one that sits at a trucking company on U.S.40 not far from Keysers Ridge,Md. If you took 40 west towards Uniontown from I-68 it's on the left just a little ways after you cross the Pa. line. I've never been able to get a picture of it, it's usually parked way back off the road.

Works great, that's all you have to do. And i'm always looking for U models and half nekkid wimmens. Don't see many U models though.

""said randyp.

Thanks Vlad, that was a great experience going on that adventure with you, nice pictures. "After 2 hours of work we had all the crap in."- you sound like a true trucker!

I don't like city traffic either, i'd rather be going up a hill or down a hill in the woods somewhere. About the only good thing about the city is you occasionally see girls in cars at stop lights. Great pictures!

It's a Suzuki. Here's a bigger blurry view. I already deleted the original of the clear one.

That's great Paul, we were worried about you. I called Ken last week to ask if he knew anything. Hope your wife is all well. You didn't miss anything here, no knew posts or pictures in the last...oh, month or so probably.

Mine has an alternator and it's positive ground. I had to put an alternator on it a few years ago and got a rebuilt positive ground one from a place in Roanoke for about $120.

Looks like it should be, it has the lights, wipers,everything you need. I think it has tags on it now, but i'm not sure.

I bought a couple dozen ears in Newcomerstown, Ohio last year and froze it in the shucks. My ma said that was the best way to do it, instead of shucking and blanching it first. I just cut the ends off, stick it in a freezer bag, and throw it in the freezer. We had the last of it just a couple of weeks ago and it tasted like it just came out of the garden.

I got a few photographs this week. Got to go home last night- I unloaded some roll-off bodies in Richmond yesterday morning, then picked up a load of pallets in Ashland and took them to Lynchburg. The poison 'shroom has opened up! A girl in a car. I like this little truck in Quinwood,W.V. Lots of apples in Quinwood too. 3 girls, one bike. I'm still trying to get a good picture of the engine in this car, but not having much luck with it. Gee, leaves are already turning. Last winter dragged on and on, but summer just flies by. Another girl in another car. Saw the Ford with a load of wood again. Saw the big Mack truck with a load of wood again. Then I saw another Ford with another load of wood. And another girl in another car. Followed a big green machine for a while. Saw a girl beside a car, getting gas in the pouring rain. Saw this cabover Freightliner truck. uhhhh...nice stacks. Bought some corn in Pa. to put in the deep freeze. ...along with these peppers I picked when I got home. I was wrong about the peppers before. I did find the little plastic tag under the plants and apparently the little red ones that I thought were Tabascos are Dragon Cayennes, and the little green ones that I didn't know about are actually the Tabascos. Glad that's all cleared up,eh?
