  1. "just a thought"... Paul Van Scott hope this hasn't already been done.
  2. guess i'm covered then, I got 2 hammers. A claw hammer and a 3lb. ball peen.
  3. funny eh, he put the newest units in front for the group picture, but you can see the ones in back better.
  4. why does Roadway paint the fenders blue? so the drivers know which end goes under the trailer. hear about the Big R that left his wife? he came home early and found her sitting on a trash can,eating a corn flake, with a pie in each hand.
  5. Indeed, my thought was always that he should have been shot while trying to escape when he came out of the woods the next morning. Guess he didn't surrender to the right officer. I was heading in from Cleveland when I heard something on the AM radio on WLW about a man shooting at a police helicopter in Appomattox, Va. I lived in Appomattox over 25 years so I called Kim to find out what was going on, having no idea my nephew had been shot and killed. My niece Ashley answered the phone. She said "it was Bo". I said "what the hell are you talking about Ashley?", and she said Bo had been shot. I could hardly understand anything else she said, and I drank all the coffee between here and Cleveland getting in.
  6. Well said, i've used all my likes up again. "Pat, i'd like to buy a like". "OK, Vanna give him some- a like, give him a like! Vanna, git your clothes back on!"
  7. I hope Bubba is the horniest homo "gay" criminal ever and hung like a bull!
  8. It's even got the 5th. wheel tilted up, just like Vinny- that's got to be a sign!

    Trial

    The Christopher Speight trial was Friday. Actually the hearing I guess, there was no trial since he pleaded guilty. Kim Scruggs was my late wife's sister. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/15/christopher-speight-guilty_n_2697257.html?fb_action_ids=4567934311469&fb_action_types=og.recommends&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=%7B%224567934311469%22%3A389874271111211%7D&action_type_map=%7B%224567934311469%22%3A%22og.recommends%22%7D&action_ref_map=%5B%5D
  10. https://www.facebook.com/SurveillanceVideo I just saw this on "pages you might like" on facebook, I didn't look at it but there might be something of interest there.
  11. I probably posted this before at some point, but this is most of H.H. Moore's fleet around 1984. I used to drive the '79 F model on the far left, and the '77 that's 3rd. from left. I was driving one of the Kw's when this picture was taken, the one with the stack pointed straight out to the side instead of turned slightly to the rear. The blue Transtar Eagle was top of the line in it's day, best interior,400 Cummins,13 spd. H.H. bought it new, I think it was a '78 model. The one beside it was similar to it, but it was a former Montague-Betts truck that H.H. bought when Montague-Betts sold their trucks and started using an outside carrier to haul all their steel. The main outside carrier was H.H.Moore Jr. Trucking Co. The guy that drove it for Montague-Betts went to work for H.H. Moore and drove the same truck for H.H.
  12. Never met a barbecue I didn't like!
  13. Yeah, I unloaded at...Comfort Engineering?..I think. It was near 70 and 147, off of Neal rd. Unloaded 4 coils from N.B.Handy, then had to get to Petersburg by 1pm. to get that load going to Neville Island,Pa. But I did think about you while I was there!
  14. Herb is right, 4th. is direct drive in the main transmission, 5th. is overdrive. Direct is direct drive in the compound, hi split is overdrive. So if the main's in 5th. gear and the compound's in hi split that gives you double over. 4th. in the main and hi split in the compound is almost the same gear ratio as 5th. in the main and direct in the compound- that's why 4th. hi split to 5th. hi split is the last shift and you have 18 speeds instead of 20.
  15. Must keep you pretty busy just delivering stuff to that Wile E. Coyote fellow, eh? He orders a lot of stuff from ACME Products- I seen it on the TV.
  16. I passed a little store right out here on 29 the other day when I was going to Durham. Had an old Esso sign out front that caught my eye. I thought the place was closed but somebody reopened it, selling antiques and collectibles. So I rode out there today to see what they had and to take a picture of the Esso sign anyway...but I forgot the camera- don't tell randyp. They had tons of old signs in there, along with clocks, diecast models, some old soda boxes, couple of pinball machines, and more. Those American Pickers would love all the old signs. They even had a little Jeep out front that I was gonna let Jo ride in but I didn't have a quarter. I bought her an old rotary phone that she wanted for some reason, and I bought this '51 Ford F-6 RC Cola truck. Of course Winfall is in the opposite direction, but I went over there too. Saw a squirrel waiting to cross the road . Saw a girl climbing out of a hole. Then we stopped by the Winfall train station to look at trains for a while... .
  17. I'm out of likes, so I used the new "best answer" feature that Green Dash invented- but you got that right. I'm sure he wasn't packing any heat, but they've got some shotguns there.
  18. I don't know if she made it out to the paving co. or to the individual. But they know who the guy is because he used a West Virginia ID to cash the check. That's how they found out he'd been in trouble in W.V. for doing the same type scam. She said she told him not to cash it until the next day but he went straight to the bank, so she didn't have time to stop payment on it. What they don't know is whether the paving co. regularly screws people or whether these employees do this on their own. I looked the company up on the interweb and they had an office in Appomattox and in Lynchburg. She called the one in Appomattox and didn't get anywhere there- they offered to refund $1500 but wanted her to sign something saying that that would be the end of it. She didn't didn't go for that.
  19. Batgirl meets Supergirl. Superman drops in...
  20. A scam is a scam, no matter how big or small. They're still taking advantage of other people, and it just burns me up that those a-holes took advantage of my parents. One thing about it, they might get away with it now, but they'll have to answer for it some day.
