And, in a sorta-kinda related story- A week or two ago I picked up a load of lumber in Rome,Ga. and came back up 75 north to Chatanooga and Knoxville, then 40 east over to 81 north to go to Moneta. Just north of the 75-24 split in Chatanooga I noticed a beat up looking blue van come up beside me in the left lane. It slowed down right beside me and I looked down and saw a female type person-she looked like the one armed man that kilt Dr. Kimble's wife in "The Fugitive",but i'm sure she was a female- looking right at my door and dialing on her cell phone. I wondered what the problem was because I was just minding my own business,doing the speed limit,going with the flow,not changing lanes,tailgating,or running anyone over, but it was obvious that she was calling the number on the door. Sure enough, about 2 minutes later Randy-that's Randy the dispatcher,different from Randyp-called me. He wanted to know if I was mad at anybody. I told him no and told him about the van. He said they had called and said I was doing pretty much everything I said I wasn't doing.They gave the wrong trailer number but my truck number-the bitch was looking right at the door-I guess it's just a case of everybody having a cell phone and nothing to do, so they might as well call somebody. I was highly upset that somebody would call in and just tell an outright lie like that. When I got in I wanted the number of the people that called so I could call them and ask them just what their problem was, but of course they left no number. Randy did say that they'd said I also ran into the median and then back up onto the road. If that were true they'd probably still be trying to dig my carcass out from under a load of lumber in the median down there somewhere, as wet as it was. Still pisses me off!

that's because there's no such thing as too much boobage.

Jo said it looked like eyes...or an owl...to me, boobage was the first thing to enter my mind.

why, that's ridiculous. by the way, I was parked at the shop Monday morning and saw this strange reflection on the front of this Conestoga. I still don't know what it was or where the reflection came from, the sun was behind the trailers. For some reason I immediately thought of boobage when I saw it though.

yeah, that might work. could probably patch a tarp with it too.

Speaking of alignment, I saw this pickup in Ohio just the other day. It was not turning or changing lanes, it was going straight down the highway- sort of. And speaking of Dodges, I saw this one in Ohio just the other day. Passed me running about 70 mph. with a huge load of hay.

Amen brother! (bulldogman)

I see nothing...

Next time I get a ballot if GearheadGrrrl ain't on it i'm gonna write it in.

Well said. I feel the same way. I have nothing against the ATHS, just expressing my own opinion, which I stand by.

I have no plans to leave, as I do like the magazine and going to the shows in N.C. every year is something I look forward to and enjoy very much.

I got that information when I was reading a story about long loads and steerable dollies one time. I was going to post a picture of a steerable dolly that was made out of a Mack truck but could not. I know there are many good people there, I know some of them. I never said there was not good people there, I said I never felt welcome,which is absolutely true. And I do read the magazine, so I don't know how that makes me a liar.

It could be much worse. My extensive research found that this is the official perryogie making uniform of CHIMPS. (cattlemen heavily into making perrieogiesess society). We do not want to see Olive in this outfit!

ok

I have voted before, but all I knew about who I was voting for was whatever it said about them in a few paragraphs in the magazine, so I knew pretty much nothing. Guess you have to participate, or at least read the forums there to know people, and I do neither. I used to send them pictures from the ATHS shows I went to, but not anymore. Not bragging, but they were some of the best truck pictures on there, and they didn't even say thanks, or where the pictures came from. I know folks here, you can get a pretty good ideer of people's personalities from their posts after a while.

saw this in the "tractor house" paper. might not be of interest but it's pretty neat looking. http://www.advantagetrucks.com/inv_1181_1987_Autocar_DS64.html

I talked to her several years ago. I ordered an extra issue of the one the mixer was pictured in "Kicking Tires". They sent me the wrong issue so I called them, talked to Shirley and told her about getting the wrong issue, and she sent not one but 3 or 4 of the one I wanted plus extended my subscription, free of charge. That's good people.

Old Time Trucks is good too, i've talked to them on the phone, real nice folks there and the magazine is as good or better than Wheels of Time.

I just read the magazine, never felt welcome in the forums, can't post a picture without approval, they're too stuck-up for me.

I heard the captain got a new job, he's driving a school bus now.

geez, it's not like I do it all the time, it's just a once in a while thing.

well at least you're doing very important scientific experiments when you pee on things instead of just...well, just peeing on things. keep up the good work.

Much like Steely Dan, I had to go back and do it again. I clicked "file" in the top left corner, box drops down, clicked "save",another box opened, then clicked "save image as",you can save it to pictures,documents, or desktop so you can find it when you want to post it on BMT. Here's another random one from somewhere in the U.S.

yes, here's all my pictures- http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/user/1374-other-dog/page__tab__gallery I either right clicked on the page and then clicked "same image as" or if it said "file" at the top I clicked on that, then "save image as" and saved it to my pictures and posted it that way- browse, select, attach this file, add reply.

I see what you're saying there Green Dash- I didn't try to enhance my story like Olivetroad. I condensed a weeks work into 4 lines, not even mentioning walking to and fro, tarping,strapping,chaining,setting up coil racks,peeing,untarping,unstrapping,unchaining,putting stuff away,unpeeing-never mind,I never un-peed-but then i'm not one to make mountains out of mole hills
