Once again, I ain't got much. Kind of another screwed up week, but it turned out not so bad. I unloaded lumber in Moneta Monday and thought I was going to Petersburg and run four round trip mill roll runs to Milton, W.V, which would have done me for the week. But, I had to pick up a load of scaffolding in Bedford to unload in Norfolk Tuesday morning (theoretically anyway) and then I was supposed to go to Petersburg and get a mill roll. However, I didn't get unloaded in Norfolk until after 4 o'clock Tuesday evening, so I went to Petersburg and layed over and loaded Wednesday morning. Got back to Petersburg Thursday morning and the mill roll run was over after one turn. Went to Lynchburg and loaded for Warren, Ohio for Friday and loaded at McKees Rocks back to Lynchburg. I was sitting at the fuel stop in Ivor, Va. Tuesday and saw this machine pull in and get fuel. saw this sign on that trailer. I noticed that there's a lot more leaves still hanging on the trees in Suffolk, Va. While I was getting unloaded in Norfolk I happened to notice this fire or sprinkler arappatattas on this wall- apparently this means that's a big building...thought 58FWD would appreciate it. I came up Boush St. to the light there, the workers came out and blocked that intersection and I turned left and backed into where i'm sitting. I was looking straight out the windshield when I took this picture. This job was right down town, I backed into Freemason St. to Granby St. I saw some big ships when I left, too bad it was almost too dark to get a decent picture by then. Saw some snow hanging around in West Virginia. New River at the bottom of Sandstone Mountain in West Virginia. ...self explanatory... And another one in the mirror. It was much darker than it seems in the camera, these cars were nearly invisible- I just don't get it. Followed this smoking truck down 95- The scrap pile was smoking at the steel mill- Traveling up rt. 7 in Ohio. Time for a random hot babe for no particular reason,eh? rt. 7... A plane in the sky over Warren, Ohio. Good for 16 free hot dogs! Large unit at the rest area. Plumber's crack, countered by girl with nice boobage in McKees Rocks. Added bonus picture, me and my lovely bride on my wedding day, 1984.

I remember that well- I went to Boston that night, but I went up 81 and 84. Two Harris Trucking trucks out of Lynchburg were running together and one made it across just before it fell, the other one had to stop, that's how close they were to it.

I have too, I don't care who uses my pictures, but I think it was Barry who said if you do a google image search a lot of times a picture from Hank's will come up. Probably a lot of people will use that picture without actually going to Hank's Truck Pictures and reading the "do not use for..." part. I'm pretty much in agreement that once it's on the interweb, it's out there, and it might show up anywhere. That's why I don't post nekkid pictures of myself.

http://www.oldmacksrus.com/trannys.htm I always shift my quadruplex just like a 13 speed triplex.

but you can make all those things with sweet potatoes, and one sweet potato is worth a thousand pumpkins....so they say, and I kind of agree with that.

yeah, but you can eat potatoes. pumpkins are only good for...well, i'll get back when I think of something they're good for. might have to do some extensive research.

....and everybody likes boobage!

no Bob, it was actually very delicious with the hot sauce and Sweet Baby Ray's combination.

I don't know Speed, I never tried the BMT e mail.

OK Speed, first of all just calm down- as for the e mail problem, I ....actually, I have no clue.

Nothing I can add but . Your spelling and punctuation is fine.

And you are correct sir!

...or pretty stupid, depending on how you look at it- Jo put a half pork loin in the oven when I was blowing leaves around today. So Mr. know- it- all took it out when he came in, poured the grease out of the dish, scored it, then put it in new wreynold's wrap,and completely smothered it with John Boy and Billy's Sweet and Mild Grilling Sauce, and covered it with the wrap to finish cooking. Next time I - I mean, Mr. know-it-all- took it out to check it, he tasted it...and found out it was not John Boy and Billy's Grilling Sauce he smothered it with at all, it was my home made hot sauce in a John Boy and Billy Grilling Sauce bottle. Guess I should have marked it,eh? Anyway, I re-smothered it with Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce, which is very sweet and very mild, so it should be fine. And on the bright side, I found 2 more bottles of the hot sauce that i'd completely forgotten I had.

Hmmmm...there's a definate resemblance.

I used to see a 190 International with a cab like that sitting at Mt. Savage refractories in Curwensville, Pa. but I haven't been there for several years.

just get a reeeeeeeeeeeeeally long extension cord and plug it in at home.

Happy birthday- have a free Truck World hot dog, i'm buying.

.

good idea, to be honest they're not very good hot dogs. Nothing like the famous Martinsville Speedway or Moore's Country Store hot dogs. They use the little red Jesse Jones hot dogs and load them up with mustard, onions, chili, and slaw.

no, but maybe I should give that a try.

Not much for pictures this week. I put the B model pictures on here Tuesday, then only made one more short trip to Greenville, S.C because the truck was at Truck Enterprises in Lynchburg from Tuesday until Thursday morning. The engine light came on Monday night so when I got unloaded in Madison Heights Tuesday morning I called Jeff and asked him if he wanted me to keep on riding or run it by there so they could check it. And he said to go on over and let them take a look at it. Problem was the def lines they said. Not sure exactly what the problem was, if they were clogged or what, but they said it needed 3 new lines...and they only had 2 of them, so they had to order the other one. Jeff said they should have a stockpile of them because we have a truck a week up there for the same thing. I stopped by the store on the way home Tuesday, pulled out my last $20 bill. I thought "hmmmmm...I shouldn't be broke until Thursday or Friday...". I'd gone to the bank last Friday, deposited some money, kept a little extra cash because we were going to the truck show, and I might want to buy a McLean truck or something, and there I was, broke by Tuesday. I couldn't even remember what i'd spent it on. So I wrote me a check for $75 that I was going to cash when I went back to work, in case I didn't get to Truck World to get free hot dogs and actually had to buy something to eat. Wednesday we went to throw some trash in the dumpster and Jo was getting papers and miscelaneous items of trash out of the pickup and found an envelope from the bank under the console. Fortunately she noticed there was something in it and didn't just pitch it in the dumpster. Had $154.06 in it. Oh, pictures- saw the old Pete, parked in Madison Heights near Englander Wood Stoves, where I unloaded. Unloading the firebrick at Englander. Otherdog likes Slim Jims, this is the meat stick and cheese combo. He likes to carry them way over there to eat them, sometimes he carries it next door and lays in the yard to eat them. I guess he's afraid i'll want a bite. Saw some animals in South Carolina. This is the old L.G. DeWitt terminal in Ellerbe, S.C. They were pretty big, not sure what happened to them, if they were bought out or just closed the doors. The old rt.220 runs over on the far side, between those pine trees and the building to the right behind the other pine trees. The near building was the trucking operation, the one behind the trees had a fruit stand, where they sold peaches, melons, and vegetables, and their old race shop was there too when they fielded a nascar race car. DeWitt also owned the Rockingham speedway and dragstrip. From the interweb machine-

Well, if you ever need a place to hide out, you could always move to Winfall and get lost among the masses...

Don't worry, I can pick up a couple next time i'm there and mail them to you.
