other dog

I remember when I could drive all day and most of the night and still feel good...now after 5 hours i'm ready for a nap.

This B-model's been sitting in the same spot for several years. Randy's back yard? Looks like an R-model dump behind this building. Hard to get a picture driving by, it's a little rusty but it had a great paint job once. It's also been there a long time.

I have to drive a paccar but I sure don't drive a big truck anymore. I miss those 95 horsepowers and 200 ft. lbs. of torque I don't have anymore too.

that's peni-erecti-no consci in latin.

that'll last about as long as Pat stayed in the army. (I really have no idea what that means but apparently not very long. Jo says it a lot)

I've often wished i'd bought that '64 C-80 Chevrolet truck that I could have gotten for $500 about 10 or 15 years ago. It had a 348 that the owner said ran like a top, and it was in pretty good shape, just a little rust on the fenders and it was missing the electric 2 speed axle motor. It was pulled into high and secured with a rubber strap but a motor wouldn't have been hard to find. He didn't have a title but said he'd help me get one. That engine was worth the asking price. The owner was a logger and was killed just last week when a tree fell on him.

that should be stamped on the rear end housing on a flat spot to the left of the the pinion when facing towards the rear. I had to scrape mine with my pocket knife, then scrape it some more before I could see it.

that's right, you've got OD in the main trans. and the compound.

It just means that the main trans. is an overdrive transmission. 4th. gear is direct drive, 5th. is overdrive. In the compound you have lo-lo, lo split (underdrive), direct, and high split (overdrive). When you're in 4th. in the main and direct in the compound, that's direct drive. That's why you don't use the compound in 5th. main, you shift from 4th. hi to 5th. hi. 5th. in the main to lo split or direct in the compound would actually be downshifting. 4th. main and hi split in the compound is almost the same ratio as 5th. main and direct in the compound, 5th. main to lo split would be a downshift.

You're right Bob- I've used up my "likes" for the day.

you're exactly right-that's why it's so funny!

That's it...i'm laughing so hard i'm -never mind, first time i've seen that in years!

don't get me wrong, I have many fingers, but I can only type with one of them at a time.

One of Eddie Murpy's first concert tapes was hilarious- made me laugh every time I listened to it- he used to be funny. I loaned it to someone and have never seen it since. It's the one where he's impersonating Mr.T, Jackie Gleason, Michael Jackson I think...but the Mr. T cracked me up every time, if I listened to it 15 times in a row i'd laugh just as hard the 15th. time. Chris Rock is funny now, can't remember any of his one-liners. I think it's this one, don't know if the Mr. T part is on here though- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2EIra4SYoE

So, you don't like my dog?..everybody loves otherdog- he's very affable.

Went to the flea market in New London this morning. Usually pass by it when I leave on Sundays but i'd never been there to shop before, so I figured i'd take Jo on a great adventure...the flea market. Actually, to my surprise,they had a lot of good stuff there, some nice looking guns too, some brand new. I bought a hand full of old wrenches from a woman. She wanted $35 for them and I told her i'd come back later. So after she asked what I was thinking and I told her it would be an insult to her, she insisted, I said 10 bucks, she said 15, so I bought them. Didn't need any of them, but most were old and most were made in the U.S.A. Some were just junk. I also bought this belt buckle because it had a truck on it for $4.

yes, you just drive it like a triplex on the road.

I think that pickup that passed messed him up a little bit. You know he wanted to hit the big hole right when he got to the camera but he had to back out of it just a little. But that's how 4 wheelers are, they see a truck and feel like they must be in front of it, even if they're turning off at the next driveway.

My '72 Rally Nova. It was later totaled.

my favorite youtube video-

you have to go back a looooong ways, but you can find the whole story of "Spot the Wonder Dog" somewhere back in Odds and Ends. Here's some- http://www.bigmacktr...__fromsearch__1 more links here-plenty of Spot!

Saw more things this week- an oversize load at the rest area just inside the Pa. line on I-80. The big orange Mack in West Virginia- it was a little blurry though. Even when otherdog is off duty he sleeps with one ear awake to listen for any suspicious activity. That's his donkey, but he doesnt play with it any more. He chewed it's ears off, then lost interest in it.

waa-waa-waaaaaa...
