  1. I saw Hank Jr. in Beckley in the 80's. I was on the side of rt. 19 just past the toll booth with a tire service guy who was fixing a trailer tire for me. Hank Jr's bus came through the toll booth and pulled over on the shoulder for a minute, then took off. Hank Jr. was standing just inside the door and he waved at us as the bus was pulling away.
  2. I pull a flatbed, drive a red T660 for F.L.Moore and Sons out of Concord,Va. Usually i'll have lumber or beams going up, and bring coils back to Lynchburg out of Sharon or Pittsburgh.
  3. Vinny wants to know if he has any U models...
  4. I know the area, I run 64 to the turnpike a lot, 60 a lot, and 64 to 60 to 20 to 39 to 19 to 79 quite a bit.
  5. What part of West Virginia are you from?
  6. Yes, once again I took a few pictures of things I saw this week. Like this pickup for sale in Appomattox, Va. Would look nice in sunny south Florida with your Mustang...just sayin'. Euclid at Kyanite Mining Corporation. Saw an offset cab Mack on 219 in Pa. But it's probably a DM. A big Mack wrecker. I didn't take a picture of me sweating while tarping at 68 degrees Tuesday, but I did when it was snowing Wednesday morning in Orchard Park,N.Y. I even saw a scraper machine in Pa. And some trucks Freightliner, Barko, Autocar, FWD at Mead/Westvaco in Rupert. I saw many cars stuck in the snow in West Virginia. I didn't have time to stop and help push any of them out. Saw this IH at the yard Thursday. And, on the way home yesterday I saw this girl hanging around the Winfall train station. She looked too scary for me to stop. Went over there today and the skank had just gotten on the train, and this girl had just gotten off.
  7. <p>Here's my flickr pictures-</p> <p>http://www.flickr.com/photos/28526133@N04/</p> I also have pictures on webshots and photobucket, but I can't seem to sign in to either one right now for some reason. Just search "other dog". And, I went back the last few days I was home and went to my control panel, clicked on "manage my attachments" and deleted numerous pictures. Hundreds of pictures. Anything over a few months old probably won't be seen any more anyway, right? I did not delete any stupid pictures, or Winfall pictures, or "Spot the Wonder Dog" pictures, so don't worry- just "pictures of the week" pictures that were old. And another thing, does resizing pictures help Barry? I usually resize all my pictures, making them as small as possible. Well, as small as is practical anyway. Brochures and such need to be big enough to read, but other stuff, like girls in Winfall for example, only need to be big enough to see.
  8. I've heard that moose are migrating farther from their usual habitat all the time, and have been spotted as far west as Illinois. I understand they can be quite dangerous, especially when alcohol is involved.
  9. I think you're too late. Jim took a couple days off work and was last seen heading north east with newly purchased camouflage clothing, night vision goggles, black face paint, a metal detector, shovel, a new battery, and a can of gas. He plans to dig it up, put a battery in it, pour some gas in the carburetor, and drive it home. Here's a picture taken from the surveillance camera at the beer joint metal detector store of Jim and his possible accomplice. Be on the look out for these two Tim!
  10. G'day mate! I know Andrew from Australia- Andrew Bee that is.
  11. That's them. Couldn't find any pictures, but I know i've seen a Fulton truck picture on Hank's. Did see this mention on Swift's wikipedia page- Swift bought Stephens City, Virginia based Arthur H. Fulton Inc. for $9 million dollars. Fulton was in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection at the time.
  12. I used to do some mud bogging in the 90's. Mud raced an IH Scout for several years, and they had 4 races a season. We took the kids with us, and I don't think I ever went there that at least one fight didn't break out. I think a lot of people went there just to get drunk and fight.
  13. Oh naw, you don't wanna go that way. Seen youtube videos of it taken with dashcams or "handlebar cams". It's famous for bike riders, got something like 13,000,000 curves in 8 miles or something like that. I think Mike's ridden it on his bike.
  14. I rode over to the Winfall Sports Arena today just to see if anything was going on. There wasn't, so I came back home.
  15. I'm gonna bump the timing up 2 degrees too, soon's I find my timing light...ain't seen it for years.
  16. I always thought the same. We hauled a lot of structural steel there in the 80's and 90's, some went right downtown. I know one big job was at 6th. and Grant, lots of congestion around there...but some fine looking womens too. Now I load at Lane Steel in McKees Rocks and Galv-Tech in Pittsburgh pretty often. Galv Tech is one of those places that there's just no good way to get there.
  17. I left the fix-it utilities scan running last night, restarted it this morning, ran the registry cleaner-fixer, optimized all programs and features,optimized windows and whatever else I could find to optimize and it seems fine so far, fast as ever too. Hope it's not fixing to blow up, like a truck engine- they always run their best right before they blow you know.
  18. Reminds me of Fulton- they were a pretty good size trucking co. out of Stephens City, near Winchester. I don't know what their main haul was, but they were a van fleet. The story goes that Schneider cut their rates on whatever their main haul was out of Winchester to try to take over the haul. So Fulton cut it even lower to try to keep the haul, then Schneider cut it even more. Then Schneider told Fulton they could cut the rate again, but then so would they and "we're going to outlast you". So Schneider got the haul, Fulton was pretty much out of business, and was later bought out by Swift.
  19. I have the Avast Pro antivirus system that I just updated this morning, AOL computer check up, and I bought a Fix It Utilities Professional "fix,maintain,and speed up your computer" disc a few weeks ago.Everything checked fine, ran a scan this morning then just all of a sudden everything ground to a halt. It's working again now, but a little slower than normal.
  20. finally got firefox to work, no luck with google chrome, my first choice..................................................Alonzo
