other dog

Not that it has anything to do with cracking, but I saw a blue MH for sale last week on the AA highway in Kentucky when I was coming back from Cincinnati.

Must be April 1st, eh?

I thought they said train,and ran to catch it. When they said nose I thought they said rose,and ordered a big red one. When they said ears I thought they said beers,and ordered 2 large ones.

and now...the rest of the story! ...the wife and grandson take a relaxing nap, not realizing the danger lurking about- But, as usual, Spot springs into action, seemingly out of nowhere- once again saving the day! A few peas,carrots,mushrooms,and a pinch of garlic later...

ummmm...uh...well, my favorites episodes are when Spongebob gets lost in bikini bottom, and the one with the magic conch. Saw 2 new ones I hadn't seen before when I layed over in Alabama last Saturday.

This shit is funnier than a screen door on a submarine!

Seems Randy's got a new business going on the side. His trusty assistant handles this operation while Randy's digging,pushing,piling,and grading.

Looks like you're finding lots of old truck treasures down there Mike!

I've been all around since last Sunday. I went to Orchard Park and came back to Rural Hall, N.C. with 3 packs of particle board. Then I left Wednesday with a load of beams going to Fort Worth (that's somewhere in Texas) and picked up some light poles there going to a baseball stadium in Reading, Pa. I ran out of hours on the way back and spent Sunday laying over in Alabama so I didn't unload the light poles until Tuesday. Then I had to go to the Jefferson memorial in Washington D.C. to pick up some used piling and bring it back to Concord. Had to blindside into a narrow construction entrance off a narrow street, then around the ess curve,through the obstacle course,and up to the crane. Had to back up to the smaller one with the yellow boom after they moved the big one over just a tad. Thought i'd be done when I got to the shop, but noooooo, had to go to Lynchburg and get a load going to Greenville,S.C. The load was already loaded and tarped, sitting outside. Had 3 tarps on it. Only problem was it wasn't chained down, so I had to pull all 3 tarps off,chain the load down,then fold all 3 tarps back up and retarp it. It was 10 o'clock by the time I left Lynchburg. Unload in Greenville the next morning, then go about 5 miles to pick up a load going to Richmond-mostly expanded metal,with some cat walk and other stuff included. Had more sharp points than a porcupine. Tried to tarp it in a 64.3 mph. wind, but after the tarp had blown off for the third time I was so pissed off that I went in and told them "if i've got to tarp this you can unload it, because I can not tarp it in this wind". So then they said to back it back inside, which I did. The other tarp, which I had up on top and hadn't even started to unfold, blew off when I was backing in the door. So I got it tarped without further difficulty and headed to Richmond. Got there yesterday morning and about the time I got the tarps off on the ground and the chains and straps off it started pouring down rain. So they said "you're gonna have to back it inside-back in door no. 2". So I back into door no. 2 and go out into the rain and fold up 3 wet tarps in the parking lot, getting soaked in the process. By the time I was unloaded and left the sun was shining again. I saw this on I-40 in Nashville- These old trucks in Arkansas- Big horned cow in Texas-missed the camels and buffaloes,all I got a picture of were cows. Saw a load of bees in La. Driver brought them from Ca. and was going to Fl. Mini-fridge at the motel in Al. Sniffer dog at the Jefferson memorial. The pentagon. Road I backed in to load. Jefferson memorial. Washington monument across the water.I went up the street over there after I was loaded.Had to take a long way out because of several low underpasses. The crane Where I got loaded from the other side of that ocean- Why I hate northern Va. The load I picked up in Greenville. Got 2 sniffer dog pictures...don't pay any attention to this one,just ignore it.

I had to pick up some used piling in Washington D.C. the other day at the Jefferson memorial and bring it back to the yard. Todd Moore told me to be careful because the last driver he sent in there to get a load of it came back with both stacks laying on the trailer. Thought he could get under a 12'6'' underpass. What size pipe is that?

I haven't been broke down either, just been on the road since last Wednesday. Went to Fort Worth, then to Reading,Pa, Washington D.C, Greenville,S.C, then Richmond. Truck is here- engine light's on again, this time it's "intake valve actuator oil pressure voltage" fault...whatever the hell that means.

Here's another picture that's too inappropiate to post during this sad time...

That's what I use mine for. It does take pictures though, and I can send them to another phone or even e-mail them, so that comes in handy sometimes-I can take a picture and e-mail it to headquarters if I need to. It's a Kyocera phone and it might even do lots of other things, but all I know how to do is call people and take pictures with it. I have the U.S. Cellular nationwide plan and i'm well satisfied with the service.

What Rob's really watching...

I saw a huge snapping turtle somewhere along the way to Fort Worth, right beside the interstate. Could've stopped and got it if i'd seen it in time. It was one of the biggest i've ever seen, bigger than the steering wheel on the truck. I've caught some big ones on a trot line,too big to fit in a five gallon bucket.

I tried that once. The stick wasn't bad, but part of the hoe was kind of tough.

I should go back to bed, but this stuff is too funny!

I want to go get a hotdog at Boca beach. She sure knows how to sell a hotdog!

"i'm with you fellars"

But how did you get it to stick on the wall like that? Can't see anything holding it.

You don't need to do that-you did say you always wore a helmet,right?

Hilarryous!.. even cleared up who's who!

lower light is on the cruise control switch, I had it on so I could idle it up some. It was about 30 degrees and snowing. No,that light's green...I don't know, i'll have to investigate further.
