Where are you located,if anywhere?

I would never smoke something Randy dug out of a pond, might be toxic aztec waste in there. I just didn't want him to think I was unappreciative of his efforts to send the pond scum.

It'll be dried up by then,maybe i'll roll it up and smoke it.

I've been eating them all my life, they're my favorite green. I find it astonishing that no one else has ever had them. We'd go out and fill sacks up with them when I was a kid. Used to find them growing in corn fields a lot in the early spring. Hardest part was washing the dirt out after you got them. We'd pull the leafy part off the ends and cook them and throw the stems away- the cans I bought are full of stems. I figured they probably grow in Georgia too- they're hard to find because they're so close to the ground, but by summer you can tell where they were because they go to seed and grow up tall then, and they'll have a yellow bloom on them and you see them all over the place. I've bought the seeds at the hardware store before.

Naw,that was yesterday. This is what the can looks like. The canned is not nearly as good as the ones you find growing around here and pick yourself,it has a lot of stems and stalks in it that are pretty tough.I've sowed them in the garden before,they grow flat on the ground and when they get big enough you take a knife and cut them off even with the ground.

But wait-there's more!

Don't forget to stop by KFC.

I like collards,kale,mustard,and turnip greens-some people eat beet tops for greens,nocluejoe talked about polk salad-but still, nobody else ever had creeces?

Hey James,happy birthday and happy new year! Bet you've heard of creeces,eh? I was just remembering last new years,had black eyed peas and creeces,or creecy greens as some people call them, but nobody else had ever even heard of them. I got black eyed peas with some smoked hog jowl in the crockpot now and a can of creeces. Not as good as cutting some yourself,but not bad either.

Sorry, lost my head... Dozer

You're right about that.

yeah,mine's a 673. Don't know who posted the video, but I was proud to see myself in it!

Got Freightrain and myself on this video-

The truck I drive has a 550 Cat,and it's pretty much a pos in my opinion.It's too big for a paperweight but it would make a nice boat anchor.

Found this early black and white picture of Rob's Chevrolet wrecker,circa 1958. Rob had just gotten out of the navy, where he had learned all about body repair. His job was fixing navy tanks when they got bent, so he decided to open a body shop when he got out. A wrecker was a must have so he took his savings and went to the local Chevy dealer and purchased this unit and made a wrecker out of it. This was his very first wrecker call, pulling a car carrier out of the ditch in the snow. It also started his desire to have a trailer...

Due to the holidays,other dog's pictures are all reruns so special guest poster Marling Perkings has these photos for you...

A generator is easy to rebuild too, though I haven't done it for years. Can you even get new brushes for them anymore?

"alongside the road out of compliance"...unfortunately, that's the only time I ever get to meet them.

D'oh!!! Good question,good question.

This is true-like hatcity said,if they're clean and polished it's easy to keep them that way,but if they've never been polished or have had acid cleaner on them it's a lot more work. Most of the guys that I know use a "brick" of jewelers rouge like these and a cloth wheel on a grinder if they're in pretty bad shape.You can do them with the straps on or take them loose to do it easier and completely.This is just an example picture I found, but they sell these at most of the big truckstops. After this process the mothers, or a polish called "Zephyr" and a rag will keep them looking good with little trouble. I've seen guys make their own polish by melting the jewelers rouge and mixing it with mineral spirits or something and it worked very well,but I don't know the exact formula.

Give him a raise, you need people with a sense of humor.

Evidently she does -Congrats on your treasures! Post some pictures when she gets them installed on the truck. P.S. A lot of coal trains were delayed because of heavy snow in West Virginia.
