other dog

I had just finished ...

Found a new picture- ...meanwhile, back in the garden, i'm gonna pick all the peppers today or tomorrow- calling for frost next week. Then i'll commence to making hot sauce. I even ordered new bottles- first time I won't have to scavenge used bottles out of the dumpster!..(just kidding Mike-i've never used dumpster bottles). Had a pretty good crop this year off of one plant each of halapeno, cayenne, hot bananas, hot cherry, and garden salsas- whatever they are. Got 3 gallon size freezer bags stuffed full in the freezer now. Have to find the mailing list and update it. Olivetroad wanted hot sauce and pictures of the hot sauce making process but he's been m.i.a. for some time now.

yeah, i've always preferred that route over 95. Things have changed so much up around Middletown, De. I hardly recognized the place. I remember when there was hardly anything there but Moneys truckstop, the ice cream stand, the vegetable market- now it looks like a booming metropolis! I didn't even see the place where I used to stop and buy 50 lb. bags of potatoes to bring home.

This is true. I should have gone to Chester W.V. today with a load of Kyanite but I went to the eye doctor. My vision got blurry in my right eye last week, left eye is fine. The Dr. dilated my pupils to look inside the eye, but she didn't see anything out of the ordinary. So when I left there I couldn't see well out of either eye, had to call Jo to come pick me up. I might just need stronger glasses, but after she dilated them she couldn't test the eye glasses prescription, so I have to go back next Friday. I really got nothing accomplished today.

This one is set up as a "barn dump"- that's when a barn is installed on the chassis instead of a regular dump body. When it's time to empty all the corn you just open the barn doors and raise it up. Works better when the doors are on the end instead of on the sides as shown here.

Thanks for the memories...

Canadian, eh?

What ever happened to your pighuntermobile?

nice Mike!

No, I just took a bad picture of the Hindenburg sign.

Very good point. Even if you find another one you'd rather have as your Sunday go to meeting B you still can't beat this price for a parts truck.

...From the great New Jersey adventure. After I unloaded Monday morning I had to go to Baltimore to load, and unload Monday night in Lynchburg, so I didn't have time to stick around. Sunday evening traffic on I-66. These people ought to be at home on Sunday, watching football or the nascar race! D.C. from the Woodrow Wilson bridge. Some ships in the bay. From the Annapolis Bay Bridge- $24 to cross. Oshkosh snow blower at Lakehurst. A blimp, big hangars,and planes at Lakehurst. They already had a pretty good size stockpile of the landing mats that I delivered there. From the Delaware Memorial bridge- $25 to cross. From the Key Bridge in Baltimore- $16 or $18 to cross. Nothing a little diesel fuel won't take care of... I even saw another girl in another car when I was going to Warren, Ohio. And this large unit behind a tractor on rt. 220. I don't know what it was. ...and I even saw a big Mack truck in Hubbard, Ohio this morning.

probably, there's lots of trucks and truck picture pages.https://www.facebook.com/groups/174146182631291/photos/

Thank you. I was thinking White House Apple truck, out of Winchester, Va. but I don't know. And yeah, seat cover season is about over.

this is the first time I've ever voted early. I got a form in the mail a few weeks ago from the republican party so I filled it out and mailed it in, and my ballot came last week.

I'm a reading buff myself, and as I was browsing Amazon for used books I happened upon this one. Even showed a couple of sample pages.

...and I was researching the effectiveness of tin foil hats against unwanted Martian brain scans and found this picture of a car.

yes, they're taken in western Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

They probably were, I don't remember. Last saw them in the 80's.

Is Randy pushing or running the scraper?..most likely on the scraper i'd guess.

Nice pictures Vlad! You get the "randyp kodiakotronomy of the day award". You have room for more-

Here's my thoughts- you could hardly go wrong if you can get it for $1,000. It looks to be in pretty good shape, the seller seems to be honest in his description, but more pictures would be nice. You'll spend some money on it, but I doubt you'll find one cheaper to start with. Here's some pictures out of a photo album of a couple I looked at before I bought the mixer. The owner was asking $1,000 for the lime green one with no hood. There was a lot of rust around the bottom of the cab, but it had good tires and good glass. There was an exact mate to it, out of the same fleet, bought at the same auction, in Amherst,Va. for $1,200. It had no glass in it and bald tires. I thought about buying both to make one. It was really what I wanted, single axle/duplex, but then I found the mixer at a good price- I figured i'd end up spending what I paid for the mixer to get one of the B-61s roadworthy. I looked at the other one after i'd already bought the mixer, or I might have bought it. The owner wanted $3,500 for it. He used to work for Mack, and when I was about to ask him what was the least he would take he said "I'll tell you one thing, they aren't making any more of them." And that's true, so I thought it would be a waste of time to even ask. So even if the engine was no good, which probably isn't the case, it looks like a pretty good deal to me.

well danged if it doesn't! I didn't even notice that at first.

hmmmmm...you might be on to something there Ed. Or maybe they didn't wear their tin foil hats and were taken over by aliens. You tried to warn them, I wear one 24/7 now.
