other dog

Once again, I didn't see anything noteworthy this week...except this blue tanker, I did see that. And a cement mixer And this runaway ramp just west of Moorefield,W.V. The first picture is heading west, the other one is coming down the mountain heading east. I did send off 2 rolls of film last week. It was taken years ago because I first got a digital camera 4 or 5 years ago and haven't used the film camera since, until I just shot up the rest of the rolls in 2 35mm cameras I had to see what was on them. Nothing spectacular, just this good looking Chevrolet truck in Appomattox, and one of the old Peterbilt. I don't even remember where it was taken.

...where's the hooters pictures?

.

Yes, I kept seeing that crackerbox GMC in the background, this is the first picture posted of it and the Diamond T cabover.

I leave my doors open because...well, it's a cement mixer. But i've never opened anyone's door myself to look inside, that's why my interior pictures are by just holding my camera up to the window and taking a picture.And I agree, I just like to see the older stuff preserved, I really don't care about it being perfect, "numbers have to match for the production year or it's garbage" b.s.

I saw this Chevrolet pickup in Winchester in '06 with a Detroit Diesel in it. I think it was a 3-53 though, like in the green forklift at the shop...the one they never use any more.

striking resemblance,eh?

Good-bye Grandpa A father put his 3 year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which ended by saying, "God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless Grandma and good-bye Grandpa." The father asked, 'Why did you say good-bye Grandpa?' The little girl said, "I don't know daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do." The next day grandpa died. The father thought it was a strange coincidence. A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers which went like this, "God bless Mommy, God Bless Daddy and good-bye Grandma." The next day the grandmother died. "Holy crap" thought the father, "this kid is in contact with the other side." Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad heard her say, "God bless Mommy and good-bye Daddy." He practically went into shock. He couldn't sleep all night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office. He was nervous as a cat all day, had lunch and watched the clock. He figured if he could get by until midnight he would be okay. He felt safe in the office, so instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there, drinking coffee, looking at his watch and jumping at every sound. Finally midnight arrived; he breathed a sigh of relief and went home. When he got home his wife said, "I've never seen you work so late. What's the matter?" He said, "I don't want to talk about it, I've just spent the worst day of my life." She said, "You think you had a bad day, you'll never believe what happened to me. This morning the mail man dropped dead right in our driveway!"

A couple more, with secret spy audio to print conversion.

That's about what I figured Bob, I was just slightly off on the screws. Jo said "why don't you get another shed?". I said "well, I should, they're not too expensive- but I bet it takes 10,000 screws to put that sumbitch together!"

I never took my truck to a big show, just a couple of local shows. One was the Stonewall Antique Power Show, which they don't even have any more, and the other is really a car show, but i'd always leave the doors open for anyone to look inside or get in if they wanted to.

Reminds me of the one I drove for H.H. Moore. This was a '74 4070A model with a VT903, yours looks like it might be an even older CO4000. This was taken at the old Ponderosa Truckstop in Clifton Forge,Va. All I did with this truck was haul wood chips from Dillwyn to Covington. I liked this truck, and as wonderful as it looked in this picture it was pretty much worn out when I drove it. Got a '77 F-model Mack after this truck.

Saw these on facebook.

Yeah, nothing wrong with those pictures, thanks for posting! Good looking Pete too, reminds me of the one I used to drive, it was silver colored with purple fenders, 550 Cat,18spd,3.55 rears. Now it's a 455 Paccar,10spd,3.36's.

John can let go now, I was afraid he was getting tired.

There, I fixed it.

nope, you're not missing anything, that's what happens. I found a picture of one in use. ...or maybe it works like this- http://www.callahantipper.com/trailer-tipper-specs.html

I saw a couple of units like that in Ohio.

Ha-ha...that's real funny...yeah, it's still needs work, but you really should have seen it before I started, you literally could not get in it. I had to climb over stuff to get to that tool box back there, and you couldn't see the floor anywhere.I'd like to find a 20' container to store stuff in, preferably a green one so nobody would notice it.

Thanks JT, great pictures!

Thank you, that's some great looking trucks there, I like the red and black F-model and that black and blue MH. As randyp might say "that's some excellent kodiakotronomy right there!"

I ate there last week. Here's the daily specials-

...and now- the rest of the story!

couldn't say- that was the entire article I read, didn't give a lot of details.

yeah Joe, they're pretty old.
