Took some more pictures on my latest journey to Louisville. Gonna post them today because I think I saw a U model. It was sitting way down there A closer look... I believe there was another green one back beyond this one, they're at the same place as this one. The place in Louisville... Looking down Sandstone mountain. First runaway ramp- Second runaway ramp. I'd take my chances before I went off on this one. It's right at the bottom and that's the last curve on 64, then you cross the New River, it's flat for several miles, then you start climbing again.

That is a good looking truck, good price too!

I have a Fisher-Price phone, with pictures of Goofy on it. Had it for years- doesn't work all that well, especially up in the West Virginia hills, but it's a very durable phone. Made entirely of plastic.

I haven't, been wondering about him myself.

One search said this was Jungle Pam, one said it was a lookalike.

I wondered where everybody went- they all moved away when I moved in here.

More interesting pictures, saw these on facebook- moving along then... F model tractor neat tractor! these must be the ones i'm looking for then...

Yes, it does. I think it had a V8 in it, I didn't take a close look at it.

I don't know, i've never tried it but Si didn't seem to like it.

Looks like my grapes all right- haven't seen any coon poop. I would have tasted it if I found any before, but now I won't because it must taste pretty bad. I like that show, Jo hates it for some reason. Been watching Rawhide today, comes on right after The Rifleman. Haven't seen that for years, used to watch it when I was a kid.

nope, ain't heard a word.

I can understand that! I would be out helping her look for it...right behind her!

I think that's what kind of grapes I use. They grow wild all around the edge of the yard, up in the trees. They're not much good to eat because they're mostly seed, but they have the best taste of any grape i've ever tasted, very sweet. I've tried to get them to grow in a couple of spots on some trellises I made, but they haven't really done much. The most and best are way up in an oak tree where they're hardest to get to. I borrowed a ladder from work last year and picked all I could reach, and even spread a tarp on the ground and shook as many off as I could. Still only ended up with less than a gallon of wine.

still out of likes, but great pictures!

Took a few pictures this week- I saw lots of onions. Lots of traffic in Pittsburgh. Lots of big orange Macks. Some Macks at Gibson's Truck Parts in Cowpens, S.C. I saw an F model, a B model, possibly an MB, and a couple of old Frederickson trailers. There used to be an H model there too. Token hot babe picture for no real reason. A big Mack truck in Mitchell, Ga. Looks like they still used it as a yard dog. I picked up this huge load of posts there, going to Gladys, Va. Old Gulf oil truck. A crane on a barge in the river by the bridge. S.C. highway shot, rt. 9. Feed mill in S.C. Saw this police car at the public works departmaent yard. Thought I saw Green Dash at the top of the hill. Yep, it's him all right! He's turning off- I'm gonna follow him... ...on second thought, i've got better things to do than follow him around- i'm going to the yard and fuel up and go home, see what's in Winfall today. ...hmmmmmm, my lucky day- not 1, but 2 poorly photo chopped babes in Winfall!

I'm out of likes, but that's just some really neat pictures! I like the roll bars on the auto-polo machines!

Yes, I got it back, thank you. You should have kept it though, cost you more in postage than the bottle cost.

I drove Shoeshine Boy's Transtar II Eagle with a 13 speed to South Carolina once to deliver a load of garden tractors because he was in an accident in his pickup on the way to work. The clutch cable broke somewhere along the way, but I got the load off and drove it back to Appomattox. Wasn't bad at all once I got going, I timed the stop lights and popped it out of gear, got it back in before I came to a complete stop and didn't have any problems.

great!..an R model Mack that's faster than any car I ever had.

I sure don't know, but that model in the white pants sure has a fine looking ass!

I'm with you, that green R model was my favorite. Thanks for posting these pictures Fabian.

The other fun experiences I remember with these things were cattle chutes and going through the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel and that was before there was a Ft. McHenry Tunnel (it's a little wider and there are four bores instead of just two!) Used to always make sure I had a cigarette lit before I entered it! If that wash't enough when they had to work on one of the bores they'd shut one down and then the traffic was head to head in the tunnel! Would really make your asshole pucker up let me tell you! Ron I remember the old tunnel well, and going through it with 2 way traffic. Actually, you can still go that way, or you could last time I was up that way. I remember crossing the Annapolis Bay Bridge when there was only one bridge there, it was pretty narrow too. Here's a couple of F models I drove. Sorry about the crappy pictures!

I see you got a load of mashed 4 wheelers there, I hauled plenty of them some years ago!

That, or they push it in all the way when they're moving which ruins the clutch brake very quickly.

I used to double clutch on every shift when I drove a 300/5 spd. F model because it worked best, hardly ever use the clutch now except for stopping and backing up.
