  1. Indeed it is, lots of info and history there.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. no, they have restroom facilities there, looks like a brick chimney.
  6. 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.
  7. Well said Paul, and Vlad, i'm sorry I didn't get to meet you and your son.
  8. Congratulations J.T.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. never seen those.
  12. yes, that's their avatar picture isn't it? no wonder it looked familiar...now i'm embarassed that I didn't remember.
  13. 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.
  14. Saw this one on facebook, a '79 model that was a Newpenn Motor Express unit.
  15. that's the place all right, i'm going back to Warren for Monday delivery. Sharp looking trucks they were running.
  16. I did see a U or DM there, it was inside a fence and I posted a bad picture of it.
  17. I've seen kids in diesel pickup trucks mash the gas and just pour the black smoke, just to be showing off. Seen it lots of times too, yet a big truck's exhaust has to be cleaner than the air it takes in? I wish I could roll coal like this KW I saw in Ohio last week.
  18. Yes, I still see banana flips around. I know they have them at the Go-Mart in Fairplain, W.V, and I think at the Newcomerstown truck stop in Ohio. She might be a bimbo, but she makes a pretty good cake. These are what I still see, from Nickle's Bakery.
  19. possibly, HK said Phil was in the witness protection program because he screwed up the forecast on groundhog's day.
  20. Thanks Bob, enjoy your trip. I saw some poorly photo shopped MH's on my screen too.
  21. I was thinking that in the picture someone else posted that there was a Diamond Reo, or Marmon, or something there. I didn't see one, but there could have been, there was lots of trucks back there. I just took a drive-by picture. I was mainly shooting for the Freightliner because it was right by the road.
  22. me neither. I've heard several drivers say they never would, then they do, and they liked them.
  23. Most of the tractors at the Keystone Tractor Museum were brought in on Abilene's trucks, all vans.
