  1. Happy 3 days after your birthday day!..or is it 4 days now?..either way, have a good one!
  2. yes, what "D. All the above." said.
  3. She was seen recently standing in the rain in Winfall. She gets around!
  4. what Mom said-
  5. that's I-70, I was a little west of 470. Got off at exit 208 I think, then went west on 40 2 or 3 miles to the mat unloading place on the hill. Wingina,eh? You could just go to Yogaville and be a Yogi.
  6. I didn't think that was your white Volvo, just wanted to make sure.
  7. I took that load of steel down to Duluth last Sunday. Saw this girl in Winfall on the way to work, It rained Sunday night, and it rained all day Monday when I went to Birmingham to pick up a load of pipes going back to Lynchburg. Passed by the Talladega SuperSpeedway going to Birmingham...can't see much- it was raining. Then I went to the mill and got a 60' load going to Ambridge,Pa. Saw this big Mack truck on the way to Petersburg. It was raining. Reloaded at Sharon, saw this tugboat and some barges on the way back to Lynchburg. Then I had to go to Long Island Lumber and pick up some mats ...still raining. Skinny little road going to Long Island- I was actually loaded and coming out, but the road coming out is just as skinny as the road going in. Saw this girl frolicking in the rain in Winfall. It hadn't started to snow yet, and it wasn't even close to freezing, but the 4 wheelers were already practicing skidding off the road and turning over. Finally stopped raining! Well...rain's really not so bad. Wonder what she's up to? I didn't stop to ask. Everything's lovely by the time I get to the W.V. Turnpike Unloading the mats near Belmont,Ohio Friday morning- first time i've seen sunshine all week! Looked like an old fancy resturant that was closed on top of the hill where we unloaded. Looking up at where I unloaded, from the dirt road going back down the hill. Almost forgot- load of 5 coils I picked up in Sharon yesterday, so Green Dash can see how they're chained for when he starts his flatbed career.
  8. Yeah, i've been gone all week. Ain't seen sunshine all week until today, it was either raining or snowing... all week long! Got some pictures, probably get them on in the morning.
  9. Thank you very much indeed Vlad, great pictures, and your kodiakatronomy of the week award will be in the mail.
  10. Speaking of new units, Mark did you get a new one too? I saw a Clark's Transfer at Truck World in Hubbard today...but it wasn't a Vision no. 386.
  11. I have indeed sent Barry some before, he declined the last offer however.
  12. wow, that's a steep hill!
  13. It'll look better than the much cheaper universal type door/window handle though.
  14. Me too. Not the dimmer switch bracket, but I always try to get any parts I need from Barry.
  15. Wow, still got winter fronts on a couple..."class of 77"- that's what I drove. They look like they were driven off the road, parked, then forgotten. I remember trip leasing to Aero Trucking. Neat pictures!
  16. I've seen the trucks you're talking about. That's about the only part of the pike that I have been on lately, from New Stanton or rt. 28 running empty over to 79 to go to Sharon to load after delivering lumber.
  17. Slow day today...I went to Altavista and saw this girl with a horse in Winfall.
  18. The main thing is that it's greased! It'll affect a lot of things when it's dry. We just use "grease" grease where I work, comes in a 55 gallon drum, we slap it on with a board, but that's for 60 or 70 trucks. I'd do like Mark and get some Jeff Gordon- Dupont Super Supreme Marine Teflon grease for one truck. I'll usually pick up a tube or two of general purpose grease at Wal-Mart to keep in the truck, and when I have to drop the trailer i'll put a tube of it on there when I hook back up. I put the grease on,lower the airbags, then back up until the kingpin is just starting in the 5th. wheel,then fill the airbags. That way it doesn't just push all the grease off the front of the 5th. wheel when you hook up.
  19. Saw this girl standing in the rain in Winfall on the way to work this morning.
  20. I've pulled many van loads too- chip vans!
  21. .
  22. I'd rather do all the above than have 57 stops in the Bronx anytime!
  23. It's in the mail...should be there in a couple of weeks.
  24. Load of scaffolding. Load of steel I picked up in Lynchburg, going to Duluth,Ga. By the time it takes to chain it, strap it, put carpet on the sharp corners, put plastic over it, then tarp it, you could almost be where you're going. And, I saw this girl in Winfall on the way home.
