yes it is, but I have to be sneaky discreet about it. All I even look at is trash or be trashed, and you can go back two minutes later and the first post you read before will be on page 3. they must have about 8 billion members, that's why it's so hard to find stuff later. But I must say, BMT is still the best site on the interweb machine, first thing I do when I get home is check out BMT, which also gets me in trouble sometimes because I don't even say "hi" first. The membership here is probably 4 times bigger now than it was when I first joined.

I got that gif from yellow bullet, which i'd never heard of until it was mentioned here. I was looking for the one where the girl stuck her tongue out and touched the tip of her nose with it, but I couldn't find it again.

damn!..she sure does look like the same girl.

You started driving the same year I did. I started in January,1979. We might have passed in the night on the plains of Skat-chew-on. But probably not, since i've never been to Canada. Always wanted to go there though. Gonna move there when I win the lottery. Or I would have when I was younger- now i'm too old and lazy to go anywhere.

Our secret spy camera is at the Texas Tree Hugger Society's annual convention... Meanwhile, back in Daingerfield- ...and back to the Texas Tree Hugger Society convention-

shoot....out of likes. I'll just see if this gif of the week works then.

Been across that bridge many times but never when there was snow or ice on it.

It might be Vision385, but it's hard to tell with those welding goggles.

Here's my snow removal stuff.

What really sucks is having to tarp stuff that doesn't need to be tarped, like steel beams that are stored outdoors in the weather anyway. Picked up lumber in Palmer, Ma. one time that was supposed to be tarped- had about a foot of snow on top of it. I told them that was just plain stupid, and I didn't tarp it. Even had to tarp a load of structural steel once that I picked up in Ohio and took to Boston. Used every piece of carpet and padding that I had and still tore the tarps up. Or the coils we used to haul to Lane in Dublin, Va. They made spiral culvert pipes out of them. They would put a big block of wood through the eye of the coils and unload them with a big forklift and set them on the ground. They would complain that we were holding them up while we got the tarps off, because they didn't need to be tarped in the first place. But they wouldn't give you the paperwork at the mill in Martin's Ferry until the load was tarped. And it sucks trying to untarp and get them folded in the snow when it's 1 degree like in Boyers, Pa. the other day. Like trying to fold a piece of plywood. I try to get them folded smaller than a Volkswagon, and sometimes I can. And it really, really sucks tarping or untarping when the wind is blowing, especially if it's 1 degree.

looks like his brother,uncle,and father might be the same person...

Well, shhhh.....oot! Out already.

Like that GMC!

Happy birthday!

Miniskirt junction was the one mentioned in the first comment. I think I know which one you're talking about on I-81, sits on the right when you're going south? If I stop anywhere around Wytheville that's usually where I go. I like the chili burgers there. Last time I came up that way I was really hungry. Started to stop at exit 30 in Tennessee to eat, but said "nah, i'm going up there and get a chili burger"...and when I got there the restaurant was closed, so I went on up to exit 101 and ate at the Huddle House.

I was coming down some mountain on 22, just before you get to 99.

I bought a used '76 Dodge 3/4 ton pickup once for $500. It was yellow like a state truck, had a black hood, but it ran good. Had a 360 engine with a holley carb, edelbrock intake, big cam, and used lots of gas. The transmission case was cracked, but every time I drove it i'd just pour a quart of transmission fluid in it and carry on. I used to load it up with firewood even with the top of the cab and it felt the same as being empty.

naw, but if i'd had any chains with me i'd have put them on when I got on rt. 60 yesterday!

I made two trips to Pa. this week. First I went to Boyers, which is near the middle of nowhere...also near Slippery Rock-sort of. You turn off of rt. 8 onto some other road, go 5 or 6 miles, then turn into a dirt driveway and go back in the woods about 3/4 mile... Looks like you're going to nowhere, then finally you see something. That's the place- gotta pull down towards that dumpster, back around the front of the building, head back out, then back up in front of the door by the dumpster. It was quite chilly in Boyers too.I was not going that fast down their driveway by the way, I was on I-79 here. Now I gotta see if I can make it back up this hill empty. Yup...made it to the highway! Got to go to Greenville and pick up some roll off dumpsters going to Richmond. Heading to Richmond. Some big Mack trucks at S.B.Cox in Richmond. V8 Superliner. 39 baby Mack? Unloading the dumpsters. Then I went to the shop and got a load of crane mats going to Evans City, Pa. Took them right across the road from where I got the overweight ticket a while back. Then headed to McKees Rocks to get a load of steel going back to Lynchburg. It was snowing when I left McKees Rocks, but the road was pretty good down 79 and 19. I decided not to take 39 and 20 from Summersville to Charmco, thought maybe 60 would be better...huge mistake- 60 was horrible all the way to Rainelle. I was spinning trying to get up some hills but I got my pire divider locked in before I started up the mountain, and made it across...smoked 3 packs of cigarettes, and they had to put a new seat in the truck today, but I made it, and didn't throw any tracks off. Finally got to I-64, should be smooth sailing n...never mind. Maybe 220 will be better...not! Unloaded and reloaded in Lynchburg this morning, the mountains are pretty,eh? The two highest ones at the far left are the Peaks of Otter, near Bedford. Liberty University sign on Liberty Mountain. The snow report, and dog feet- Snow on the back porch. Passed through Winfall on the way home of course, but I didn't see anything unusual. Nothing out of the ordinary to be seen in Gladys either.

Amen brother!..Bulldogman,1987.

Amen brother!

Maybe he'll change his mind and want to be a Virginia Tech Hokie!
