other dog

ask Nikki. That's what I would do. Or Barry, if Nikki's unavailable for comment. Thanks for the link too, that image could be very useful in future picture projects.

looking for the hidden spy camera and microphone...got to be in here somewhere...

12:55 PM today- 17 empty cans and 9 empty bottles ago.

Nothing wrong with a Peterbilt- as i've said before all of my downtime has been because of the Cat engine, nothing really that I can blame on Peterbilt.

This is true. The one I drive is a 2006 with the twin turbo ACERT 550 hp, and there's no comparison to the older single turbo 550's performance wise. The old 400 and "4 and a quarter" Cats probably would out pull the 550 I drive, everything else being equal.

Old Bill, AKA The Diesel Gypsy, sent me this neat Caterpillar bottle opener/magnet. Here i'll demonscrate it's use-right in line with the "What's Your Favorite Beer" topic. It probably opens soda bottles just as well, but i've never tested that function.

'04?..over 500,000 miles?..daycab?..for that kind of money?..the blue paint must be covering a gold plated truck.

Pleased to meet you, Rob and Pete. How are you? I am fine, thank you. I have a Mack. I drive a Pete for my real job.

Pabst Blue Ribbon was one of the first beers I drank, then I started drinking Stroh's I believe it was, then Old Milwaukee. Old Milwaukee is plentiful and popular around here. I've drank a boatload of it myself, but I switched to Bud Light as a compromise with a friend. He drank Budweiser, but it gave me a head ache, and he didn't like Old Milwaukee, so we'd always buy Bud Light when we got together and I just switched to it altogether. Now i've switched to AB Natural Light, mainly because it's cheap, but it tastes like water with a little beer mixed in it. I used to smuggle a case or two of Old Style back from Chicago some times, back in the '80's, but i'd be afraid to have one can stashed on the trailer now. I bought some Blue Ribbon in long neck bottles last summer- first time i'd drank it for years, and it was mighty tasty! I've tried most all at one time or another, from Falstaff to Ballantine, but the worst ever had to be Carling Black Label followed by National Bohemian. I don't think they even make those anymore, but that's a good thing as far as i'm concerned.

you're quite welcome. all the other parts (brake shoe, connecting rod, hose) really suck, but I must say the driveshaft was excellent!..well, pretty good anyway...maybe not excellent. OK, the driveshaft wasn't half bad- it's at least a recognizable part.

They say he's a citizen of Camel county and he's had his rabies vaccination. But he might have been in a top secret branch of the service before he got here, I don't know. He doesn't talk about his past much, and whenever I bring it up he changes the subject.

I probably could I guess, but I never taught him to pee outside. He's the only dog I ever saw that was apparently born housebroken. He's really smart too, almost as smart as I am. And he just showed up one day and made himself at home, when I lived in Appomattox. Only inside dog i've ever had too.

that's about what we ended up with here, 5 or 6". Not nearly as much as they were calling for but just a little ways north they got twice that much, and they got a couple of feet in northern Va.

Sounds like it's coming along nicely. And to think it all started like this

hmmm...what if she DID want to trade- wouldn't Rob still want to make it safe as can be?..just wondering...

reckon she'd be interested in trading it for a cement mixer?

no, haven't eaten any, but I have seen some around. The dog doesn't like to go very far when it's cold. He refuses to go out at all when it's raining, but he's never peed inside.

Even the squirrels can't find anything to eat except snowballs. The bird feeder's empty and the dog (very well fed dog, by the way) ate the stale bread I put out there yesterday.

I'd suspect about the same. I have taller tires, but i'm going to 11R22.5's as soon as I accumulate the wheels. I can do 53mph now, 55 if I stand on it going down hill.

I think that's the same ratio as the mixer-it is great in parades, and I do not pass many people on the road. Usually there's a long line of traffic behind me waving a finger at me.

just make sure you take 64 east in Lexington instead of 75 south. We wouldn't want my grill to end up in LaFollette.

by the way, we were talking about greens New Years day. I had a can of creeces, and nobody else had even heard of them. I figured you or Bollweevil had, but neither of you was anywhere to be found. Ever had creeces, or creecy greens as some people call them?

I can't get this one to do anything-can't figure out the ins and outs Jo has an LG phone, but it won't play a DVD either.

I got a recipe that Old Bill told me to try in the crock pot now-a rack of spare ribs, cut up so they'd fit, and 2 cans of sauer kraut. Nothing else, no seasonings. I'm not that big on sauer kraut, but he said it was delicious and to give it a try. Speaking of Old Bill, he called me yesterday. Said he was going to try to get his website back up when he can afford to.
