to Vision386, aka Mark- have a good one!

or, "what i've seen so far"... I saw this little Mack truck, and lots of steel at the steel mill where I went to pick up these saw blades Nice load of logs in W.V. Drop off rusty old blades, pick up shiny refurbished blades. Then I went to Mac Trailers in Alliance to pick up some parts for a trucking co. in Concord that runs a large fleet of dump trucks. Took some secret spy pics at the Mac plant. They said I was picking up some kind of arm, so I thought it would be about the size of my arm. It was not. Their forklift wouldn't pick up the blades to move them, so I had to put it on top of them. Scrapping a UPS trailer at the mill- Saw this IH over at the fuel stop in Petersburg. Then I went up to Richmond and picked up a load of scaffolding at a job site, where I saw this girl on the street.

Heather was my favorite!

Nope, can't use UPS. The nice lady at the Concord post office gave me the boxes free and asked me to mail them from there in return, so they'd get the revenue, and I agreed to those terms and conditions.

facebook said

be patient there Ed, it takes me a while. The nice lady at the post office that gave me the boxes said the bottles need to be in ziplock bags. So I had to assemble the boxes, tape the lids on the bottles,put them in ziplock bags,wrap them with bubble wrap,pack them,address them...and that's where i'm at now. They're in a big box in the spare room, ready to go, soon as I haul them to the post office.

Happy birthday!

holy hamburgers!!!

Here's a girder I hauled on a dolly once. It was the longest beam I ever pulled, 150' long, but i've been in tighter places with shorter beams. This was a pretty easy run, from Abingdon Va. to Nashville, Tn.- interstate all the way. The dolly-

we had a hard time finding dolly drivers sometimes. if another truck driver couldn't take off to do it,you'd have to pretty much get whoever you could find and sometimes they just didn't have a clue what to do.

no, but i've driven them dollies and I liked doing that.

I don't know what it is, but it's a big one!

Steerable dolly. Wow!

I've heard a lot of drivers joke that they had to wear a raincoat when they drove in the rain.

with B models?

that's OK...most of- well, actually all- of the female type hitchhiker pictures come from facebook. I save them every time I see one, for future use here research purposes.

lookin' good, a job done right!

I copied and pasted the whole thing from my homepage at first, but I didn't know whether somebody else could click on it and be signed in as me so I just put my name. Never checked to see how many more there are with the same name, but i'm pretty sure there's no more with my mixer picture on them.

me too, but she was standing on the step...on her tiptoes.

I'm William Thomas Blackwell- there's a picture of a B model Mack mixer on my profile picture.
