oh...what I meant to say was

That's why I do beer-I mean Pepsi and Coca Coler cans. Now, on a serious note- Hank's truck pictures was a great place to go, I looked at every single picture on there when my wife was sick. Might have kept me from going crazy...when she could sleep, that's where I was, looking at truck pictures. Started at the top,left to right, every single picture- kind of took my mind off what was going on.That's why I sent him a couple of donations, I felt like it was worth that and more to me. Now, six years later, I consider bigmacktrucks.com my favorite website except for "hotasionmidgetlesbos.com" and consider a lot of people here to be friends even though i've not met a lot of them. I've met a few members in person, even Barry-though he probably doesn't remember-and the most famous member, Rob, but a lot of those I haven't met I would call "friend". So that's the reason i'd be willing to help out any way I could. thank you for reading- I must be off now.

I just push down on the chromium plated handle...sometimes I have to do it twice though.

I'd be willing to get Jo to take my empty cans to Cycle Systems and donate the proceeds...would do it myself, but i'm way too lazy.

I have an ideer- Hank's Truck Pictures is a free site, but he also has a place near the top of the page where you can make a contribution to help keep the site going if you want to. I've sent him 50 bucks a couple of times, maybe that would be of help here. If every member gave 10 dollars, that would be....a lot of money! Most wouldn't of course, but a little contribution from a few could help...just a thought. (Paul Van Scott)

RandyP!- Welcome back, hope you're doing well!

I've only had minor breakdowns too, just a lot of them. None lately thankfully. One starter, 2 alternators I think, 718,000 miles now. You know how some people exaggerate!

Everybody wishes they had one.

This one- first one must not have worked.

Got a really good drive-by picture of this B-model dump truck at Art Reed's place in Montvale. I've seen a B-model like this on 64 in the Charlottesville area several times and this could be the same one. It had Scottsville, Va. on the body, which is about 20 miles south of Charlottesville on rt. 20. Saw this Freightliner sitting at the truck wash in Monroeville, Ohio yesterday. Ehhhh, why not- saw this girl on the corner in Norwalk, Ohio yesterday too.

Now that's just funny right there Bob!

look like honeybees- that's good, they say honeybees are disappearing so take good care of them.

D'oh!!!

This post has great joke potential...but i'll leave it alone. Hope all goes well for Nikki and the baby.

Wonderful job taking pictures of things.

That's the longest girder I ever hauled, 150' long. Took it from Carolina Steel in Abingdon, Va. to somewhere south of Nashville when they were building rt. 840. The beam itself made the trailer, the front sat on a bolster on the 5th. wheel of the truck, the back sat on the dolly. We could chain the front axle of the dolly to the beam to lift the tires off the ground for regular highway travel, when we got to the jobsite we'd drop the front axle and a driver would ride in the cab of the dolly and steer it. The dolly itself was made from an old Mack truck chassis. You could get into some tight spots when you can steer the back end. When you got unloaded you'd back up to the dolly and tow it with a pintle hook. I drove that IH where I used to work, H.H.Moore's in Appomattox, Va. Had an N14 Cummins with a super 10 in it.

I was sitting around the grill today, smoking a pork loin minding my own binness, and got out a couple of old photo albums to look at. These were pictures I took before I ever got a digital camera and I had completely forgotten about some of them. Here's some of them, i'm sure i've posted some of these before but just ignore those, there might be something new here. I made them pretty small for easier downloading, and since my scanner fails to operate properly I took pictures of the pictures. First- old pictures from H.H.Moore Trucking- At Mt. Rushmore Jobsite in W.V. Snow, narrow bridge,long load on steerable dolly, steerable dolly parked at my old house. It was made from a Mack truck chassis. Van trailer, mixer, Watts Mack I went to a forestry show in Richmond once... Me at the forestry show Jo and a Corbitt, Greensboro,N.C. Fleetstar ...and remember when I cut my thumb with the ax?..not quite healed. I'm 2nd. from left, in the red flannel shirt, at the H.H.Moore safety meeting. My old 750 Kawasaki, traded in on this 1000 KawasakiThat's my '70 Skylark too. William Weatherstone, "The Diesel Gypsy"- the greatest truck driver ever.

excellent job taking pictures of things!

That's ridiculous- the only way you'd ever find me on Long Island is because i'd be really, really, bad lost. I have pulled a dump trailer before though, and was scared of tipping over every time I dumped it.

today's pictures- Newest T-shirt. My son gave this one to me, he knows i'm a barbecue conner sewer. Speaking of bbq, got my shelter wired last night, now I can cook all night long. Saw a toad lurking around the grill last night too.

Mike, I've got one you can have if you want it. I just put all new ones on the mixer and only saved this one, just to have a spare- wish i'd known sooner, all the rest went right in the trash can. They were in pretty bad shape, this was by far the best looking one. I put silicone around the lens because they leaked, but the chrome part ain't too bad.
