other dog

Good for you Rowdy!..and welcome back randyp.

thank you

I painted a '71 F100 in my driveway with a brush and red implement paint. Put 2 coats on it, it may not have looked great but it looked way better than it did at first.

No Jay, I couldn't find one. It may have been gone by the time I got there or came in after I left- I feel sure i'd have taken a picture if i'd seen it. I did have this picture from the 2010 show, but i'm not absolutely for sure positive without a doubt that it's the same truck. But I think it is.

back row, second from right, with the low underpass hat on.

That picture's no longer on the website, but I did learn that we have 12 van trailers. http://www.flmoore.com/index.html

yes, that's what I was doing, probably adding a gallon of water,oil,fuel, power steering fluid,or something.

That's at the yard in Concord. The good looking Conestoga picture is at the parking area on 219 about 10 or 15 miles south of Orchard Park,N.Y. They used to have that picture on the company website, haven't looked at it lately.

It's not a usual thing, just occasionally.

No, we have a few vans, 3 or 4 I think, a few Conestogas, 1 detachable gooseneck, the rest are flatbeds. I took a van load of kyanite to Chester, W.V. and brought firebrick back from Alliance, Ohio to Englander Wood Stoves in Madison Heights. Could have hauled it on the flatbed but they prefer a van at Chester, I didn't have to tarp anything, just roll the door up, so when Todd said to get a van I didn't argue a bit.

I'm driving this now.

There's Mark way in the back, peeping through the fence.

you're obviously talking about some other other dog and not me.

I've got a few 1/87 scale B-model mixers.

Saw a model Overnite H-model on Hank's Truck Pictures.

Mine's a '65 and it has the closed air cleaner. Has a square plug on top, Old Bill told me that was for using ether shots that you used to be able to get.

yep, it's all true- came in on the ol' super secret spy satellite data download.

What really happened here- "Robert" is driving along a deserted country road to avoid the scales on the big road, as he is grossing 90,000+ with a load of corn. He stops in the road to pee and when he tries to take off again he forgets to put the transmission in the low side and stalls the truck. When he tries to restart the truck the starter drive sticks so he has to shut it off again. The starter is burned up. So he calls his friend "Lawrence"... "Hey Lawrence, can you bring your pickup over here and give me a pull start-I need to get going asap here!" Lawrence says " sure thing Robert, i'll be right there". Moments later Lawrence pulls up in his crusty, rusty, but trusty 4-wheel drive Dodge pickup with a 900hp blown hemi engine in it and a tow strap capable of pulling the Titanic off the bottom of the ocean. He backs up to Robert and they connect the tow strap, leaving about 200 feet of slack in it so Lawrence gan get a good running start. Robert says to him "just give me a second to release the brakes". Lawrence thought he said "OK, floorboard it Lawrence". The End

I'm glad too! good luck with it.

First thing I did was look in the book too. The picture in the book looks like it was taken in the same spot, you can see the same bridge behind it.

reminds me of what my friend Larry Wales told me when I bought the mixer. I was looking at buying 2 single axle B-61s. One was $1200, the other was $1000. My plan was to take the two and make one. He saw the mixer, asking price was $6500, and he said by the time I was done i'd have spent more than that to have one of the B-61s in as good a shape as the mixer already was, so I bought the mixer. He used to own an LJ tractor and a B-model dump truck in Massachusets, and new where to look for rust around the bottom of the cab that I would never have even thought about.

hey Bob, where ya' been so long? Ain't heard from randyp lately either.

Well said. I grew up on the farm, and we hunted. Ate venison, squirrels, rabbits, and the occasional wild duck or quail. We raised hogs and hog killing time was a major deal- and a lot of work. There was the killing- my uncle always did that- then came the scalding, scraping, gutting, cutting up, slicing, grinding, curing, and smoking and everybody helped with that. We also raised tame rabbits for a while- they're mighty tasty too!

I'm actually a peta supporter myself. That's "people eating tasty animals", not that other one.
