  1. 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.
  2. striking resemblance,eh?
  3. 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!"
  4. A couple more, with secret spy audio to print conversion.
  5. 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!"
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Saw these on facebook.
  9. 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.
  10. John can let go now, I was afraid he was getting tired.
  11. 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
  12. I saw a couple of units like that in Ohio.
  13. 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.
  14. Thanks JT, great pictures!
  15. 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!"
  16. I ate there last week. Here's the daily specials-
  17. couldn't say- that was the entire article I read, didn't give a lot of details.
  18. yeah Joe, they're pretty old.
  19. I was looking for my lug wrench in the shed this morning. I was digging and looking with a flashlight...knew it was in there somewhere, but I couldn't find it. After hauling out half the crap in there and putting it in the yard, I decided I should just clean the whole thing out. It was packed so full you couldn't get in it without climbing over stuff. Wasn't long before I wished i'd never started the project, but it had to be done. Now of course i'm glad I got it done- lots of room now! Should have taken a "before" picture though. Found this in the bottom of a box. We had a driver at H.H.Moore's that was bitten in the heel by a brown recluse spider. His CB handle was Macho Man.This was probably 15 years ago or so. By the time they figured out what it was, he ended up losing his leg just below his knee. He couldn't work, so I made 2 kettles of stew and sold it in Appomattox and at our company safety meeting. This is one of the flyers I wrote that my son Morgan printed for me, even has pictures of the stew pot on it. Found a helmet too. Got a trash bag full of these Darrell Waltrip Tide boxes. I started to put all of them in the burn barrel but changed my mind- maybe they're worth something to somebody.
  20. Well, I...uh...I saw...OK, I saw a solid black Freightliner Argosy somewhere this week, and it was a damn sharp looking unit!..there, I said it.
  21. Not many pictures this week, but here's a few. After I unloaded the insulation in Charlottesville Monday, I went to Bedford and picked this load up. They sold this equipment to a place in Bloomingdale, Il. I don't know what it is, but the big machine on the front was sold for $39,000 and the other things were 14-$1,500 each. The prices were on the paperwork. A '68 or '69 Firebird for sale. Beautiful car, solid black, but I still haven't gotten a good picture of it. Headed up the AA Highway in Kentucky. Picked up 8 scrap coils in Portage, In. and 8 more in Warsaw. Took these to Suffolk,Va. Saw this Transtar in Fairplain,W.V. on the way back. Went from Suffolk to Chesapeake and picked this container up. Gonna drop it off up the road here in Rustburg Monday. Saw a big Mack mixer and a school bus on the way in. And some scrapers like randyp likes to see- parked, rusting, and trees growing up through them.
  22. A man was found dead in his home over the weekend. Detectives at the scene found the man face down in his bathtub. The tub had been filled with milk, sugar and cornflakes. A banana was sticking out of his ass. Police suspect a cereal killer.
  23. Good looking Brockway!
