  1. what Dozer has to do on his day off...
  2. I'll take 'em!..when do I start?
  3. So how come Buddy only gets the tip of his tail pictured while Spot gets a full face picture? By the way, here's what Rowdy's dog Dozer does when Rowdy gives him a day off.
  4. Where the Red Fern Grows?...geez...why'd you have to bring up the saddest movie ever? I've been tryin' to forget it for years. Great movie though,eh?
  5. I'm gonna order the "natural" model instead of the ported,polished,and waxed version.
  6. No offense would be taken-I'll fix any picture any way you want,to the best of my ability. I'd do the same for anybody,but especially a fellow Peterbilt driver.
  7. "Only two things smell like fish-and one of them's mackerel"...Redd Foxx
  8. The rest of the story... Then Melissa Lou made the call...
  9. Nice unit!
  10. OK, i'll break it all down to it's simplest form for you "slower" guys- push brake button in,let out clutch,hammer down.
  11. I too had noticed,but just assumed you were shunning everyone,like Paul Van Scott.You should never assume anything they say.
  12. That reminds me,almost forgot about this- http://www.longroadpro.com/ The "Trucks With 2 Sticks" video here is great, lots of neat old trucks in it. And they break down the shifting part to it's simplest form.
  13. Jo made me scrambled eggs with peppers,onions,and mushrooms, sausage, fried potatoes, and toast this morning
  14. I made beast stew last week too.
  15. Even though I went to Toledo and back twice, and then to Oakfield, New York this week, I still made it to the ATHS Show in Colfax yesterday. Tryin' to run me to death again...anyway, didn't look like near as many trucks as last year's show, most were the same as last year, and it was cold! But it was still a great time, getting out and enjoying the sights. The high point was meeting Mark (Vision 386) and his family there. I bought another GMC truck too. I put some pictures here- http://community.webshots.com/album/578961673EAVmyQ?start=0 Took more, but like I said most were there last year too. Hey, the creature from the black lagoon is on amc...why am I up this time of day anyway?
  16. nice looking unit! That N14 is a good engine too. The W900 I was driving before the Pete had a 525 N14 and never gave me any trouble. Most of my down time now is all because of the Cat engine, not because of any Peterbilt issues.
  17. ha-ha-ha...i'm so glad you've finally got somebody else to pick on!
  18. I always put 2 springs,or at least a rubber strap for backup,on the F-model 300 I drove after the spring broke on the road and it ran wfo!
  19. That reminds me of this true story, involving a good friend of mine- he's since passed away so I won't name any names. This was probably...about 20 years ago I think. We both drove for H.H.Moore Jr. in Appomattox, Va. This was a small mostly flatbed fleet, in binness since the '40s. After this feller had been there a while, driving an older International with a 350 Cummins, H.H. got a new T800 and was going to give it to him as his regular truck. So he was at home celebrating his new ride with some friends on Sunday afternoon by drinking, then drinking more, then drinking some more. Problem was, he had to take a load of steel to Wilson,N.C. to deliver Monday morning in the International while the KW was being lettered. So he loaded up his cooler so he could continue to celebrate on the way to Wilson. Invited one of his friends to ride along. Somewhere between Farmville, where he lived, and Lawrenceville,Va. the friend took over driving. I don't know if he had permission to drive while the other driver took a nap or he just decided to give it a try. Problem was, he'd never driven a truck before and when he got to the stoplight in Lawrenceville where you make a left to get to rt.58 and follow the truck route to rt.46 south he instead made a right. The trailer wasn't even halfway around the turn when it hit the pole on the corner, knocking it down. The police pulled him over and the pole was still hung up under the trailer with wires dragging behind. The regular driver was passed out drunk in the sleeper. They both went to jail, not only did my old friend not get a new truck, he lost his job. Somebody had to go get the truck and I bobtailed to Lawrenceville and got the load and delivered it in Wilson.
  20. That's a good story. Good picture of the truck in the dark too,looks great! Maybe i'll get back to Milton Steel some time soon.
  21. what kind of soap do you find best to carve-you know,soft enough to use a popsicle stick but doesn't crumble? By the way, the ATHS show in Colfax is Nov. 6!
