  1. I don't know about all that- but his wife is smokin' hot!
  2. i'd hit it.
  3. and, in a related topic- the bridge is gone and so is the little man in the boat! ...and, in another related topic, I saw a white Mack on the chip dump in Rome,Ga. Monday. ...saw a big doghouse too.
  4. I like to use cheap canned bistits for chicken and dumplings. We usually make it in the crock pot.
  5. Here's the old dolly I used to pull. It was made from a Mack truck chassis. That's a 150' girder on it, it's somewhere on rt. 840 in Tn. now. I did not like driving these dollys though. Didn't really like pulling it, as it was a pain in the ass. Had to pull the front axle up on big blocks and chain it to the beam on the road, and unchain it every time you had to use it. We had a couple with gas motors on them that ran a hydraulic pump and two hydraulic cylinders that turned the bolster that I liked to run. All you had to do with them was pull the rope and start the motor, and get it straight under the beam when you were didn't need it. With those you just stood on a platform on the rear and moved a lever back and forth to turn it and you could bail out quickly if necessary.
  6. Gee, I hope hatcity's OK- he sits in Florida. Here's a picture of the Evel Knievelmobile I took at the truck show in Lincolnton last summer.
  7. another one
  8. .
  9. Great picture taking, thanks.
  10. You are absolutely right about new the trucks. Where I work we have new KW's, IH's, and Freightliners with PACCAR, Maxforce, and DD15 engines and they keep Truck Enterprises, Powell's Truck and Equipment, and Va. Truck Center busy trying to keep them running. It's just one thing after another. And they have to go to the dealer to be worked on, nothing much but routine service they can do at our shop. Nocluejoe told me he talked to a driver at a garage somewhere that was driving a new KW that had broken down. Joe thought it was funny- he was delivering brand new KW's from the factory to the dealer's lot and they couldn't even make it that far without having issues.
  11. ...and in an unrelated story- I once posted a picture of the old narrow bridge on rt. 22 that crosses the Ohio river between Steubenville,Oh. and Weirton,WV. Looks like they're tearing it down now. I passed by there last week and the ends are gone. You can see some men on the bridge, but more importantly you can also see the little man in the boat- often heard of but seldom seen and rarely photographed.
  12. here's the original picture. I had to edit some of it out though.
  13. you know, this might be slightly off topic, but that's why I liked Hugh Rowland on Ice Road Truckers. He didn't care if he was hauling poo-poo (there's youngsters here) or some vitally needed material as long as he was hauling something and getting paid for it.
  14. I looked at the Wal-Mart store today. They had no perryogies...ain't likely i'm gonna make any...so, Chef Boyardee ravioli you say?
  15. OK -
  16. Somebody sent me that joke in an e-mail, thought it was good enough to share. Any resemblance or characteristic of anyone in this joke to any real person is entirely accidental, coincidental, and unintentional.
  17. ...and black. One of my favorite combos.
  18. you can't see her or the truck, that's why it's a related topic.
  19. On a related topic- I saw this white CH Mack headed up rt. 220 to Covington with a load of chips.
  20. now this is serious ugly-
  21. One day, Randy was walking down Main Street when he saw his buddy Rowdy driving a brand new pickup. Rowdy pulled up to him with a wide grin. "Rowdy, where'd you git that truck?" "Tammie give it to me." Rowdy replied. "She give it to ya'? "I know'd she wuz kinda sweet on ya', but a new truck?!" "Well, Randy, let me tell you what happened. We wuz drivin' out on County Road 6, in the middle of nowheres. Tammie pulled off the road, put the truck in 4-wheel drive, and headed into the woods. She parked the truck, got out, threw off all her clothes and said, 'Rowdy, take whatever you want.' So I took the truck!" "Rowdy, yore a smart man! Them clothes woulda never fit you!"
  22. worst looking visor on a Superliner?
  23. ya,,,,,i own a B-model,,but drive a T660 at work. It's ok...I guess. Just not even close to the Peterbilt I was driving in looks or performance...especially that performance part. People would tell me on the cb all the time "that's a good lookin' Pete you're driving there" but since i've been driving the KW no one has told me it was a good looking Pete. No one. Folks would get scared when they saw it in the mirror, like in this picture Leversole took a few years ago as I was about to pass him...then the "check engine" light came on and he got away. The KW does not intimidate anyone. I've seen people pointing and laughing when they pass me.
  24. oh....so that's where you've been- recuperating. Sorry to hear about the accident, glad you're doing better. And don't text and drive.
