  1. I got a package in the mail from Old Bill today- I always told him he should write a book! It's got all the stories that's on his website, plus some new ones, and a lot about what he's got going on now. I don't know if it's available for sale or how many copies he had printed, but i'll pass the info. on if copies are for sale, it's a nice book full of great stories.
  2. oh yes, that's totally acceptable.
  3. I used to get those little cans of tomato juice and a quart of beer when I had a hangover. I'd drink enough of the beer to pour the can of tomato juice in it, then drink it down...not bad! I used to buy Clamato juice to drink by itself, it's just delicious. I bought a bottle at Dodd's Store one time on the way to Covington and the woman in the store said only one other person bought it regularly, and he put it in his beer. So I tried it when I got home- drank a couple swallows of beer, then topped it off with the Clamato juice. I've been drinking it ever since. I tried that Budweiser/Clamato premixed concoction too because i'd been doing it for years, but there's no comparison. That stuff sucks. Get the Clamato and mix your own and give it a try. The only drawback is that it's so good I tend to drink more than I should sometimes.
  4. Yeah, he always looked like this in all the pictures i've ever seen. I took this when he was posing by his B model right after a concert in Goodlettsville, Tn. in 1963.
  5. ...but you still need a flag on that 50' overhang.
  6. Sorry about your misfortune, sure makes cabbage worms seem unimportant. You look really pissed in the first picture, but you look pretty chilled in the next one. Hope they catch the coc- no,can't say that....hope they catch the mot- can't say that...hope they catch the bast- hmmmmm, can't say that either...hope they catch those crooks, nothing's worse than thieves and liars!
  7. ...and there's no way the slightly slower truck is gonna back off just for a few seconds to let the slightly faster truck get by, just ain't gonna happen...
  8. Yeah, that was about the best looking cabbage i've grown since I moved over here from Appomattox. I pulled up the three worst looking ones and planted some eggplant where they were. I planted it in March I think, it snowed on it about a week after I planted it. I was going to try making homemade sauerkraut this year too. Maybe i'll try some winter cabbage.
  9. I've never seen him without a beard and a cowboy hat pulled down over his eyes.
  10. B model on rt.67 in New York, just west of the Vt. line. Nocluejoe66 found this one. I saw this big green Mack in Ambridge, Pa. I thought this long load was trying to get out of this road at first, but he got straightened out and was backing in to unload the beam down there somewhere. Saw this long and apparently very heavy load on I-77. Had a big Western Star pulling it. B models at Tucker Equipment. Saw this service truck in Petersburg. The MH that's usually sitting here was gone, but I got a good picture of the tractor- except for the bugs on the windshield getting in the way. Nice decal. Saw this nice looking Nova in West Va, it was a little too dark to get a clear picture. It had Yenko emblems on it, whether it's a real Yenko or not I have no idea, but it was super sharp looking. What you don't like to see on I-81. A 67 and 1/2 mph. truck passing a 67 mph. truck. Last pictures of the cabbage before I pull them up. The dreaded worms got them, I think all but a couple are totally ruined. The last thing I did before I left Monday was spray them with Cedarcide, then dusted them, and the worms still ate 'em up. Those bastards! There's one right there! At least the tomatoes look OK- so far.
  11. Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent?..58FWD?
  12. A lot of them ride like that- I know not why, but I like it!
  13. That's what i'm hoping for, don't know if it'll ever happen. Jeff was very impressed with the one he looked at at the show in Louisville earlier this year. He usually keeps his trucks until they've got 6 to 700,000 miles on them though, and i've only got 288,000 now.
  14. but why was Tim McGraw kissing the bride?..Dozer should've bit him. And where was Faith while all that was going on?
  15. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  16. I see Earl Paddock trucks a lot, always looking good! I biggerized the picture to see if it had the Huskie on the hood, but couldn't tell if it was a Huskie or the grizzly bear banging a bulldog...
  17. If none of that works try tapping even harder.
  18. I don't know if the Volvo is theirs, i've never seen it before, and it doesn't have their name on the door. They had 2 more Superliners there that's not in the picture, plus at least one more that I know of that wasn't there that pulls chips and sawdust from a sawmill in Blackstone. They used to have all Superliners when they got started.
  19. I motored over to Altavista earlier today and saw a big snapping turtle walking along the shoulder of the road. I slammed on the brakes and backed up to it and told Jo "get out and grab it by the tail and throw it in the back"...she said something like "duck stew"- it rhymed with that anyway. So I said "take a picture of it then". So she said "you do it!" By then the turtle had made a sharp left turn and was running for the creek. She did get a picture of it's hind end before it disappeared into the weeds.
  20. All the pulpwood around here used to be 5 foot lengths, it could be a pain in the ass to haul and many a load was thrown off if the driver wasn't very careful with it. And many a load was reloaded onto trailers by the roadside by hand. Good thing about it was that many people made a living cutting pulpwood then, all you needed was a good saw and a one ton truck and you were in bidness. Some folks just used a pickup truck to haul to the woodyards, then they'd load it on a trailer to take it to the mill.
  21. speak up a little please, we couldn't hear you.
