other dog

yeah, you gotta pack 'em in there like Mr. Duncan does.

geez!..counter- photo,counter- photo- hope it's not too late and nobody has any permanent damage from looking at the previous photo.

oh...I was thinking it was something more like this.

We did not hug each other! Got a little hug from Michelle though.

It was wonderful- I went to Lynchburg, unloaded my coils, then when to Moneta and loaded lumber and went to Oakland,Md. Ate a can of beany-weenies when I got there.

Thanks again everybody!

I'll bring it Mike, I stole a nice stick of hickory wood off the woodpile at the shop this evening.

thanks Jay, got a bunch of pictures this week. I'll probably get 'em on in the morning.

thanks guys. I gotta go to work now, gonna mix me a batch of concrete and make me some shoes. I'm gonna make Jo some too, she said "that is effing awesome". As Randyp would say "i've created another monster".

Reminds me of the KZ1000 I had. It never threw me off,but when I cleaned it up and Armoralled the seat I found you'd best have a good grip when you cranked on it or you'd get left behind.

Yes there was,i've been in there several times but I haven't been in that part of the world for a while.

I bought a pair of orange Schneider tennis shoes from a guy at a truckstop last week. He claimed that when I put them on i'd look like I was walking 62 mph. I haven't tried them yet.

There was a bad accident not too far from here last Monday that killed 3 people. 5 trucks and a couple of cars were involved. 2 sludge trucks were going west on rt. 60 and 2 wood trucks and a lumber truck were going east when the first sludge truck crossed the center line. Killed the sludge truck driver,and 2 guys in one of the log trucks.They burned up in the truck. Several more went to the hospital, the cars came along and hit debris in the road as the cab was knocked completely off of one truck, and there was axles, logs, parts and pieces of trucks,and sludge all over the road.This happened about 5 am and 60 was closed all day. I know the guy that was driving the Mack with the load of lumber,he wasn't hurt.

excellent!

I've ridden in a convertible but never drove one either. I have however driven a Peterbilt.

I've never been on a ferris wheel, roller coaster, or any kind of ride at the fair.

Forgot this picture I took Thursday. Don't know where to put Kawasakis so i'll just stick it here in case anyone's interested. This belongs to Tom, who works in the shop. He wants to sell it. Last year he said he wanted to trade it for a small Kubota tractor. It's a '96 or '97 model, 16,000 miles on it, said he wanted $3500 for it. I don't know much about it except it's a nice looking bike and he takes really good care of it.

I put Sta-Bil in my lawnmower,tiller,and the gas can in the fall. The mower had sat unused since last fall and it started on the first pull yesterday.

oh...OK

what, the truck or Olive's wife? you can't talk about her like that!

Thank you, my favorite picture!..good choice by the way- hot dogs. I like her super-awesome buns best.

Probably stopped there. There was a truckstop just across the line a little ways after you came out of New York where I stopped some, don't know if that's the one. But like Mark said, truckstops are so few and far between in that part of the world they're all crowded.There was one just east of Hartford but you could never get in there. I'm glad I don't run that way any more. I'd do 3 trips a week from Lynchburg to Boston in the 80's. Unless you happened to get checked somewhere you didn't even try to log the second trip, just the first and last.

I always kinda liked the breakfast buffet at Petro, but I seldom stop at any. I try to stay out of truckstops period,except for a few where I stop to fuel and shower. I did go to some truckstop in Kingdom City before, but I don't remember the name. It wasn't one of the common big name stops like you see now. We used to deliver kyanite to a couple of places in Mexico,Mo. and used to have to go down rt. 54 to Kingdom City to some truckstop after we unloaded to trip lease loads coming back east.

website says it's a '77, $12,500. All the info there was.
