other dog

Rob's been out standing in the radar field for years.

Yeah, i'm off this week, back at it Monday. I was ready to go back to work after a day, now the week's flying by! Interior looks like this, got Mack floor mats with bulldogs on them.

Not a bad idea- who knows when you won't be able to get it anymore.

I can't see the first picture. You're not expecting trouble are you? If you are i'll bring my 30-06, my 12 gauge, and my snubnose .38. I'll just leave the .22 rifle here. All the shells I buy for the 12 gauge is no. 4 buckshot, 3" magnums- it's a 36 in. barrell with full choke.

I don't, it's licensed and insured as an antique vehicle and can't be used as a working truck. When I bought it had been gone through and refurbished and was ready to be put back in service hauling concrete. Then the ready mix company was sold, and the new owners didn't want to run equipment that old so they sold all the B-models. I bought it from one of the former owners who had retired and kept this truck for himself.

it is, but don't tell anyone- it's disguised as a grill.

hey James, you're blurry too, get a cup of coffee.

I ordered 5 new cab lights from Watt's Mack last week. They came in a few days and I put them on yesterday. Good looking lights! I took the old rusty ones off and put one of the new ones on and thought they were the wrong lights at first because the bulb was towards the rear and the chrome part faced front. So I put them back in the box to send them back, then I gave Barry a call and told him I needed the ones with the bulb on the other end of the light. He said to just turn them around and the bulb would be in the front, so I did and they worked fine. They fit perfectly and covered where the old lights were exactly, just had to drill new holes, but that's good, you don't want to be using old holes anyway. Crappy old lights- shiny new lights- Then I came home and started slapping up a crude roof over the grill...yes, I know it's not up to code. I didn't buy any of it, it's made of posts and lumber I "accumulated" and had laying around. Got an old plastic tarp on it now, all I need is a couple of roof panels and i'm good.

I'm guessing Loadstar 1800.

Yeah, I have to agree, I lost interest in Trick my Truck when they started doing ice cream trucks, service trucks,etc. Haven't seen it lately. Haven't seen but a few American Trucker shows. Most are b.s. but I did like the one...can't remember what it was, but I liked it. That Evel Knievil truck needs...a cab it looked like. They could hire our most famous member, the one and only...... "Rob"!- and pay him millions to fix it, but it was a real rust bucket. Looked like they dug it up off the bottom of the ocean.

I saw the American Trucker guy, he came in in the wrecker towing the Evel Knievel truck. Then he was up on the hill at the wrecker demonstration, where the tipped over container was. I never saw him after, or met him, there was always a huge crowd where ever he was. I didn't know anybody from Trick My Truck was even there, would've liked to meet them too.

Indeed, nuthin' like a smokin' hot redhead! I tried to get her in as many pictures as possible...not that I was stalking her or anything.

Thanks Jay, great pictures! You can tell you were there early, by the time I got there it was hard to take a picture without a bunch of people in the way, but that's a good thing.

Amen brother! (Bulldogman) You hit the nail on the head there! I wish I had a spotted owl though, i'd marinate it in some teryaki sauce and throw it on the grill.

Yes, I always have my agent (Rob) ax the tough questions.

I put a few pictures on flickr today, and looked at some old ones i'd almost forgotten that I had. Probably nothing new to see, but now I kinda' wish i'd put the Lincolnton pictures there, I think I like it better than webshots and there's 2 fewer steps to go through to upload a picture. I like the bigger thumbnails too, I cain't see as good as I used to. http://www.flickr.com/photos/28526133@N04/

uhh...i'll take a stab at it- his carcass is buried in a shallow grave in the woods?

Thanks, that's some good pictures right there.

how about this?

one of my favorites for breakfast!

neat trailer! I've never seen such before!

Yes there was, but I had to be real sneaky just to get the few pictures I did. Jo loaded the cast iron skillet in the truck before we left, but I managed to convince her that it was too heavy for her to carry around.

Thank you, got all the pictures on webshots now. I think now I should have went with flickr, they've got bigger thumbnail pictures. I could have done them on flickr individually without signing all the rights away but all my other truck show pictures are on webshots already.

Got a lot of the truck show pictures here- http://rides.webshots.com/album/580642862YTyWeG I haven't finished yet, more to come later. I could have put them straight from Kodak to Flickr but you have to give them permission to add, remove, and edit your photos to do it, so screw all that, I just put them on webshots.

Thanks David, likewise! I enlarged the picture on the camera on the way home and saw the owner's name was Jay. I'd say those Macks have been sitting right there on 158 for close to 2 years. I first saw them when I was passing through in the truck, and they were still there when I went to Lincolnton last year, and they're still there now. They're sittin between Stokesdale and Walkertown, just past the Sheetz if you're going towards Winston Salem.
