other dog

Must have been there all week, I saw them a couple of times. Best picture I didn't get was not the dead porcupine I saw, but a Superliner Magnum headed east on 80 just east of the Ohio line Wednesday morning. It was pulling a flatbed with 2 big coils on it.

Forgot some- last weekend's ribs. and the bartender over at the Winfall Bar and Grill.

I want this one!

The long and winding road...to Warren, Pa. A big hole in Oil City, Pa. A girl in a car. This is to show the importance of healthy snacks- note that she has an orange, an apple, and water instead of a Pepsi and a banana flip. Makes her hooters look really nice, just because of the healthy snacks. Saw a blue Mack blowing smoke... and another blue Mack not blowing smoke. Pretty good looking KW in Moneta. Saw a super load making it's way out of Franklin, Pa. Took them a while to get it around this turn- takes a lane and a half with a 48' trailer... and they had to get all this around it. I don't know what it was but it was so heavy they used a push truck, and they climbed the hill out of Franklin about 10 mph. And I even saw the Powell Mountain goat. Unlike the ones in Moorefield, this one works alone and hangs out on these rocks all the time. I've seen it several times before but this is the first time I got a picture. A dumpster full of new Werner aluminum ladders. I've seen trailer loads of brand new aluminum ladders at the scrap yard in Richmond before. I asked the man why they scrapped them and he said if they had even the smallest defect, like a loose rivet or something, they scrapped them ... because they were afraid of people getting hurt or falling while trying to change a light bulb, then they would try to sue them because they would claim the ladder was defective. I saw a red headed girl on a red Massey Ferguson bush hogging at the aluminum place too. And a Diamond Reo Giant tipper truck. I loaded these aluminum logs there, in Greenville, Pa. Got held up by 2 accidents on the way home. This one was on 358 on the bridge over I-79. Had to wait about an hour because the ramp to get on 79 was closed so they could land the life flight helicopter on the ramp. Don't know what happened, but there was at least 3 vehicles involved. One of the firemen told me it would be a while, and he hoped I wasn't in a hurry. I told him I understood, I was just trying to get home, and there was a lot of people there having a lot worse day than I was. Chopper landing in a big cloud of dust- that's how close I was to the ramp I needed to get on. Then I waited about 15 minutes on 422 for this one. I did see a colorful mixer on the way home though.

Really! I thought there was more to the story. I don't know a thing about car hauling, but I couldn't imagine getting on the road dragging a "wreck waiting to happen" like that behind me.

Holy hamburgers Batman! You probably get a week's supply of sugar in one 'nanna flip, but they're delicious.

What a geographical oddity...two weeks from everywhere! ( Everette Ulysses McGill )

Those new GMC's looked so good an escaped convict came out of hiding to take a look. That's him standing in the center, and the FBI man that was tracking him, standing to the right, never even noticed him.

This is a neat looking GMC picture. My Daddy bought a new '66 Chevrolet pickup the same color as the blue one except it had a white top.

Indeed it is, lots of info and history there.

I was going to ask you the story on these Sicards, but this must be a one-off. I had the picture saved but I went to Hank's to copy the link, because I was afraid of the picture police, (" You may download any image for personal or non-commercial use only.") and read the caption. This is certainly for personal use and non-commercial. 1962 Sicard COE made in Montreal, Quebec, owned by Davison Transport from Halifax, NS and Montreal, with a 250 Cummins and 10 speed Road Ranger. This truck was rebuilt with a 1955 GMC 630 front end. Sicard became part of Kenworth in the late 60's. Davison ran freight from Halifax to Montreal for the CNR. T. Brad Dunkin Photo.

Don't worry, i'm cooking ribs tomorrow. I wish I was doing it today, but the weather channel said Saturday had the least likely chance of rain so that's when I planned it. I did watch barbecue pitmasters on tv yesterday though.

I don't always read this guy's column, but I read this one in the Lynchburg paper this morning and it's hitting the nail sqare on the head. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/charles-krauthammer-obamas-global-warming-folly/2013/07/04/a51c4ed0-e3fc-11e2-a11e-c2ea876a8f30_story.html?tid=pm_opinions_pop

no, they have restroom facilities there, looks like a brick chimney.

.

that's how they fixed mine on the Peterbilt, just screwed it in tight as they could, cleaned it off, and welded right around the plug.

Well said Paul, and Vlad, i'm sorry I didn't get to meet you and your son.

Congratulations J.T.

I saw this girl waiting for the train in Winfall too. and this very poorly photoshopped- even for me- girl was on the other side of the road waiting for the bus.

I think I saw Mike in Ohio, he's the only one I know who drives a plane. I saw a blue Fleetstar dump truck too. And A red Mack truck. This is a really sharp looking DM tractor with a long snout, red and black. Has a for sale sign on it too. It's in a bad spot to get a good picture of it going south, almost missed it altogether. But you can see it has a nice looking left headlight and fender. Got a "would have been" great picture of the Superliner in full sunlight. Unfortunately I had accidently zoomed the camera all the way in, so it sucks. Sharp looking Peterbilt in Fairplain, W.V.

never seen those.

yes, that's their avatar picture isn't it? no wonder it looked familiar...now i'm embarassed that I didn't remember.

yep, I liked the looks of the Navistar but it reminded me of something my Daddy said when I was around 8 or 10 years old. I saw a Corvette and said something like "man,that's a neat looking car,wish we had one of them". And he said "they're for people that have more money than sense". No offense to you 'vette owners.

Saw this one on facebook, a '79 model that was a Newpenn Motor Express unit.
