  1. OK, how about these new bigger better pictures of the week- went to the shop Thursday morning to go unload in Petersburg and saw this Superliner there, then yesterday saw this Tigerliner in Pa. Saw a Marmon in Illinois last week. My hi-tech homemade wine making equipment, and this watermelon is growing through the fence around the garden. Figured as it got bigger the wire would cut the stem off, so I split a piece of fuel line hose and put it over the wire.
  2. Probably to protect the windshield from flying rocks in the outback.
  3. I used to see a white GMC 860 well drilling truck on rt. 18 between 77 and 71. Had a for sale sign on it and it set there for a long time, but it's long gone now. Always wondered what became of it, as I like those model GMC's. It was a good looking truck.
  4. yeah,but she said her mom didn't let her go but a few miles from home by herself so she could only push to the top of the first mountain.
  5. probably hit a patch of ice.
  6. your buffoonish spies are eediots- it was not a bulldozer, it was a 992 Cat rubber tired loader!
  7. No, I didn't. I was lost, looking for the place I loaded at. I had passed it about 4 or 5 miles back and had to go turn around. Took the picture on the way back. This is the google earth street view.
  8. Actually, I was waiting at the red light when I took the picture. He was on the ramp getting on 64. By the time the light changed he had a 13 mile head start, but I caught him and passed him on that hill like he was tied to a stump, and I had on 50,040 lbs,grossing a little over 81,000. I didn't want to say anything about it, it was pretty neat seeing that bulldog getting it done, but now I must take up for myself.
  9. Someone sent that to me in an e-mail a while back and I reposted it here. Good to repost it, it all makes sense to me!
  10. ...or you could take the dump body off in winter, put the 5th. wheel on, and hook to the reefer and go to Florida and get a load of turnips to help meet the turnip demand in central Illinois. The possibilities are endless...
  11. Sure doesn't take much to scotch a van trailer- they get on the tires and you're done. I got stuck in a mud puddle like that once in Butler, Pa. pulling into a dirt lot at a store to get a cold drink. Another truck had to give me a little tug, I couldn't move. I could pull a flatbed in there and tear up the grass and cut some ruts for 'em without getting hung up, if I could get over that big ass curb!
  12. saw some interesting stuff today-a Mack dealership in a round building. It's on rt. 50, west of Aurora Indiana. And a big Mack truck with a huge load of pulpwood in Grayson, Ky.
  13. back to the old grind

  14. Had to get a window motor yesterday. Put one in not too long ago. Driver's side window wouldn't go up or down and as soon as I left the shop Wednesday to go unload in Louisa,Va. I ran into a roadcheck in Goochland. Told the officer that got up on the step that it had just quit-"it was working a minute ago!".
  15. here's one you haven't seen. Taken when I met Rob in Illinois.
  16. I think I have too- and didn't Mark say he drove that KW to Canada one time?..or is my clutch slipping a little?
  17. Something a little different came to mind.
  18. reminds me of working in a garage in the '70's. We had to service the Holly Farms equipment. BIG poultry outfit in the south, bought by Tyson Foods in 1989. They kept 2 busses in Cumberland, with seats in the front half, and ramps on the back to haul a forklift. The chicken catchers rode the busses to the chicken houses where they caught the chickens and put them in crates and they used the fork lifts to load the crates onto flatbed trailers. Rainy days were the worst...chicken poop, feathers, all sorts of chicken house filth dripping on you...
  19. I'm with you on that one! ...way better'n the woodpile...
  20. I've been getting "Double Clutch" regularly, but I could ask the same question of "Shifting Gears" magazine. I subscribed to that a couple of years ago and only got a couple of magazines. That's the one the Bighorn Dodge was on the cover of. Still get "Wheels of Time" and "Old Time Trucks", which is the best antique truck magazine. They will talk to you on the phone like regular folks. I've sent truck show pictures to the ATHS site and they put them online at their site but they don't give the sender any credit for the pictures. No big deal, I guess they're too big for that. http://www.oldtimetrucks.org/ott_magazine.htm
  21. oh...must not be the 1917 movie then...but it could involve bluegrass music.
  22. Just some 1917 movie about bluegrass music is all I saw
  23. yeah, it'd be a good idea to give it the sniff test before you eat there i'd say.
  24. Yep...used to be called "Jack's Place". Now it's called "Kuntry Kitchen". If I were trying to be cute and spell "country" with a "k" i'd probably have just left the "o" in there, but that's just me.
