  1. thank you Mark, and the same to you and yours!
  2. The "buzzin' dozen" was pretty much king of the road in it's day- fuel prices weren't much of an issue then. Reminds me of a story- a true one. A fellow I know used to drive an F- model Mack with a V12 Detroit in it. He stopped at the Southern Belle truck stop on 522 in Berkley Springs one night. He was talking to some other drivers in the truckstop, and when they left one of the other drivers asked him what he was driving. He said "that Mack". He had a load of green lumber on, so one of the other guys said "you mind letting us leave first?" They were driving "large cars, and didn't want to be held up going through Berkley Springs. So he said "fine, go ahead". He followed them through Berkley Springs, and up the rest of the 2 lane up to Hancock, where you get on I-70. When they started pulling Town Hill Mountain, before you get to Breezewood, he just hit the left lane and passed them all.
  3. thank you, he's a handsome chap- doesn't take after me!
  4. wow, you looked a lot different then!
  5. ...bet you thought you'd see t&a, eh?
  6. Followed this one up 501 one day, stopped in Rustburg and got a picture.
  7. I tried yogurt once, about 30 or so years ago. I didn't know if it had spoiled or if it was supposed to taste like it did. Haven't tried it since.
  8. I'm kinda with you on that but she's the only one I could find that fit the shirt.
  9. whew! That's why I blurred it out in the picture. deputy other stalker dog
  10. Thank you very much indeed.
  11. Actually the big giant cross was the biggest clue. You could see it across the field behind the house in a picture Rowdy once posted, and I axed him what it was. Then it was the tracks, and you could see the church next door in one of his pictures and they're all marked on google earth. Then I saw the big grain bins in another picture. I pretty much just followed the tracks like a google earth hobo...the rest, as they say, is history.
  12. Hope Rowdy isn't pissed- but if I can do it, anybody else can. Anyway, I might be needing a place to hide out for a while...
  13. I don't know what he's got loaded on that A-car, but i'm guessing he's about 49,542 lbs. and 14 ounces over gross.
  14. That's funny! It's right there, you can't see it from the street view.
  15. "Field trip- everybody get on the bus,we're all going to Mike's place- woo-hoo!" Y'all can swing down this way and pick up Mark and myself, then we can go across Tennessee and get Joe, other Mike, and Mack.
  16. I noticed Blower Drive Service on the polished superchargers, not the stock blowers found on your typical 24V/71 like you'd find in an Astro 95 or something. I saw a 16 cylinder Detroit in a huge loader once. Never heard it running though. It didn't leak a drop of oil either. ( it leaked many drops of oil.)
  17. I think this has been posted before- but it's a good one.
  18. yes, fortunately she wasn't nearly that thorough.
  19. That tire had 30,000 miles on it, B.F. Goodrich. I did not see or feel anything that I might have run over, it didn't have any noticable pull to the right or anything before it blew, like it was leaking down slow. I told Jeff I could have run over something and didn't feel it, the wind was blowing so hard I was all over the place anyway. It wasn't too bad, I knew right away what it was- it sounded like it was gonna beat the fender off before I got stopped, but it didn't hurt anything. But, like I said, if i'd had a load of that treated lumber on it might have been a different story. All I had was 4 wooden crates and 2 pallets, 6200 lbs.
  20. ding-ding-ding! we have a winner! I forgot, the big muddy turnaround spot was also a clue.
