other dog

pretty truck though-almost too pretty to use.nice little video too.looks like he's going all out to sell this unit.

Indeed, that's a great looking truck. That's not one you see everyday either. 220 Cummins-sound great! Congratulations on a great find and a tremendous deal, good luck with it. More pictures would be nice too,maybe pics of the other trucks too? Sounds a lot like the place NoClueJoe and I went to a while back and looked at some old trucks- like finding a gold mine,except he didn't give us one. (in my gallery,"Old Trucks in Cumberland")

...and I was just now starting to get used to the old way! LOL Anyway,I can't post pictures,always get "upload failed". What am I doing wrong?

test...failed...again...i...must...be...offffff

how come I can't upload a picture? oh yeah, that is a fine looking unit.

no, I asked her what happened to the dog and she said he probably ran off. I would have brought the dog home, and faced the consequences later.I just got "Other Dog" here.

I'm just assuming it was the county,but it might be some company contracted to the county. Jo said the man told her his boss said to push the button,whoever his boss is.I think that's his main job,to push the button periodically.But at least he got the dog out.

yeah, a rat's one thing-but a beagle? that IS mean.

Stopped by the dumpster a while ago to throw away a bag of trash. There was a man walking near the dumpster and Jo mentioned that she saw him last week at the dumpster. He tried to get her to take a young beagle that someone had thrown INTO the dumpster. He climbed in and got the dog out.This dumpster has a button you can press to compact the trash, and the man said he called the county office and told them about the dog and they told him from now on to "just push the button, don't get into the dumpster anymore." He did the right thing to save the dog, and whoever put the little dog in there ought to be in jail. Or if I were King and found out who did it i'd sentence them to spend a weekend in that dumpster-"go ahead,throw that garbage in there. Just ignore that person in there-just pretend they're not even there...yeah, of course you can throw that old TV in! By the way, you wouldn't happen to have an old piano at home you want to dispose of would you?". Would serve 'em right.

It would be pretty normal if it had been me, as I tend to get lost a lot. As in "d@^^ it, how the %* am I supposed to get out of here?!!"

I see this is back on TV-I've been watching it some, since the truck's been in the shop and work's been slow. Saw 2 of the big RD's, one with a knuckle boom mounted on it, and one of the Pelletier brothers drove one and hauled a load of wood with it, grossing 220,000 lbs. Another of the brothers just got a brand new truck, but he didn't get a Titan. He got another Western Star, a triaxle with a 625 Cat. He liked the power but didn't like how it steered on the slick road with the triaxle.

no problem, you're welcome.

I remember my grandfather cleaning and cooking chitterlings when I was a kid. They smelled so bad cooking I didn't want any parts of them. I've heard a lot of people say they're delicious-LOTS of people- but i'll agree with my late best friend David Elder, who always said "there's too much good meat on a hog to be eating the guts and the brain".

Thanks for reporting in, we were on pins and needles with worry-that's a load off our minds!

whew! I was afraid you were gonna say you wanted to try a new chili recipe...

Happy birthday indeed Speed!

yeah, I think the signs said 230,000 volts... I'm barely scrong enough to throw a 2" strap across the trailer anyway.

I took a load of kyanite to a place on rt. 12 many years ago. Don't remember the name of the place, but it was just south of the Wisconsin line. Close enough to throw a rock into Wisconsin I think. And close enough to throw a rock to the weigh station that I didn't know was there. They nabbed me before I delivered. The weight limit was still 73,280 in Illinois then.

I smallerized them, I can send them full screen size if you want.

And then there was this one I saw today of a bacon stand in Japan- it said "hat tip to Rob" at the bottom...just wondering if Rob had visited Japan lately and was lured here by the smell of bacon frying. No, found out Rob wasn't in Japan, he was just in Wisconsin. Different Rob, not the real one.

me too, thanks! ...they're left drive, the picture has just been flipped, that's all. The slogan on the bumpers actually reads "daor eht fo gnik", which means "hey y'all!"

Yeah, sure looked like an outstanding job. All the glass was new, and the bulldog on the hood was. All the emblems on the hood looked new, but i'm not sure-wonder if they got any parts from Watt's Mack?

A while back I posted a picture of a faded red B-model sitting inside a fence in Fairplain, W.V. It had been parked in the same spot for several years, then shortly after I posted the picture it disappeared. I thought maybe it had been sold, but yesterday I was coming down I-77 and looked over where it was parked and saw this shiny red and black B-model parked in front of the place. So I whipped off the ramp and walked over to see it. Last time I took pictures from the Go-Mart parking lot, but I wanted to take a closer look, and it was outside of the fence. I talked to a guy that worked there and he said it was indeed the same truck. He said the owner had spent $20,000 on it restoring it because it was their 50th. anniversary. Everything on it looked new, inside and out. Said the company made the bumpers, cat walk, and installed the rollers and winches and so forth on the oilfield exploration trucks. Always wondered what the place was. Anyway, the B-61 looked as good as any i've ever seen at any truck show. Enough of that, here's some pictures, including the "before" picture.

...and then when I was going through Richmond the @#%&ing engine light came on again. Thought we had that problem fixed the last 3 times, but apparently not. Had to go to Ambridge with it on, getting passed like I was tied to a stump by Swifts, Knights, Werners, and everybody else that came along. I finally made it to Ambridge, a little late, then had to go to Sugar Creek, Oh. and picked up a 48,000lb. load of bricks going to Lynchburg. I dropped them at the shop this morning and took the truck (a Peterbilt truck) straight to Carter Cat. copied from "other dog's blog"
