  1. I was unloading lumber in Uhrichsville, Ohio a couple of years ago. A man came in driving a Dodge pickup and bought some 12 or 14 foot lumber. He put the one end of the boards on the tail gate and opened the sliding back glass and rested the other end on the dash board, sloping it back to match the windshield slope. Then he put a bungee across the back of it. I said "hope you don't have to hit the brakes." He said "It's OK, I'm only going a couple of miles". Hope he didn't have to hit the brakes.
  2. good luck with that- you're welcome to it if you can beat Jo to it- not easy!
  3. I ordered one of them wheel squeal 8 track tapes today.
  4. Generally speaking, you shift the aux. for each gear in the main trans.- under, direct, over in the aux. for each gear in the main. However, there are differences in how this is done, mainly like freightrain said, if your main trans. is direct in 4th. gear or 5th. gear, some ratios are redundant, some gears are not used, etc.
  5. well, shhhhhhhoot! I wasn't even planning to plant more peppers this year...but maybe I will. Thanks guys!
  6. I make a small batch of wine every year, much like hot sauce it's the best ever and doesn't last long, but i've never tried home brewing beer.
  7. yes, that's me all right. right after we poured that half a yard of concrete we called Schlitz and told them to bring us a truckload of beer too- that's me taking the first case from the beer truck driver.
  8. wonder what that thing with the egg shaped wheels is for?
  9. I'd do the same thing in Pa, I crossed a 9 ton bridge in Pa. once and it cost almost $4,000 in fines. Had an empty flatbed.
  10. Ahh, you'd have been all right- what's the worst that could happen? ...on second thought, good call!
  11. I'm out of likes, great pictures! That H-63 parked in that row of cars reminded me of the time I bobtailed to a drive-in movie in an F model when I layed over in Florida for a weekend.
  12. I'm out of likes, but I like that big Diamond T beside it too.
  13. I knew I had this somewhere- from "Wheels of Time", 2004.
  14. Looks pretty good. I might be able to work out a binness deal with Hatcity if I had that- he could fish, I could go to sunny south Florida and load up his catch, then haul it to West Virginia or somewhere where they don't have fishes, and sell it at a huge profit. Might work, except Ed doesn't catch many fish.
  15. I saw this BJ and the Bear looking truck somewhere last week, I don't remember exactly where it was. Saw it coming and grabbed the camera, almost too late to get a picture.
  16. oh,yeah,forgot about that, another good point- very important, don't tell them you wake up every few minutes smuffocating!
  17. yeah, I remember it being there for a long time. First time i'd been that way in a while, I loaded a partial load of bricks in Sugar Creek and took them to Bristol. The old joke about the Bland scales was "I've crossed every scale in the U.S. with this load and got a green light at every one of them until I got to Bland- then I was 1200 over on the drives."
  18. I took this picture to the secret spy lab and found out what she was saying...
  19. and that's exactly how a lot of them run.
  20. True, very good point indeed. My eye doctor told me I should get my cholesterol and blood sugar checked, because i'd never had either tested before. I made sure I got the DOT physical first, now i'm good for 2 years. If i'd had the tests first and my sugar or cholesterol had been high I probably couldn't have gotten my certification card renewed until I got all that straightened out.
  21. Usually the area up on the floor here- and the whole area ahead here, past those signs are used for coil storage, full of coils, but they had to move them all because the roof got blown off. At least if I get a wet claim at Handy Monday I can say "It wasn't me, must have already been wet!"
  22. No, no meteors to my knowlege, just a big storm Wednesday night they said. The wind blew it off. They were just starting to get the piece off the power lines Friday afternoon.
