other dog

yepper, no doubt about it. What is it? A movie poster?..concert?..play? I've heard of Nick Lowe-"Cruel to be Kind". Pretty good song.

just thought i'd pass this along...good show, i've been several times. There's picture's from last year's show in my gallery.

oh yeah-tomato, mayo, and bread-hard to beat!..squash and onions-hard to beat,..boiled cabbage with corned beast-yum!

Yes indeed, that cabbage is really growing! I wouldn't have planted that much but the plants came 9 to a pack so I got one of red and one of the pointed head kind- had real good luck with that before. It's actually called "early jersey wakefield" I believe. I planted an onion between each cabbage plant, and more at the end of the shorter row. I haven't even seen a rabbit yet. Maybe they're waiting for the beans to come up, that was their favorite last year-got every last one of them. I always heard rabbits go in cycles, so maybe last year was a peak year for them. "clear span structure"-that's what I was trying to think of Hard to say about the shows, but it's kinda doubtful. I saw in the new "Old Time Trucks" that the Troutman, N.C. ATHS show is being moved to Lincolnton, N.C. this year. A little bit farther away, but not a whole lot. I usually take a vacation the first week of July, but i'm thinking of waiting until the week of the 25th this year and maybe go to that show. Troutman was always a good show, lots of H-models there.

mine's head turns all the way around and it looks real but it doesn't say anything. I put it in the peach tree last year at first to keep squirrells out, but they weren't intimidated at all- still ate all the peaches, so I put it in the garden. Rabbits ate all the beans and some cabbage, but to my knowledge no robins $*!t on anything.

I'm gonna plant more tomatoes, some squash, and peppers. Planted some corn, pole beans, and green beans Friday where the black dirt is- covered the seeds with potting soil. Also got cucumbers, butternut squash, and okra in another spot. Plus there's the onions and 18 cabbage plants- nobody can eat that much cabbage!

Not only have I put a chicken wire fence around the garden to keep varmints out, today I aquired a scarecrow as a secondary defense. It should pick up the slack left by the worthless owl. It had a blank face, but I took a picture of myself and "cut, copied, and pasted" my own face on it. It looks so real Jo came out and had a conversation with it, thinking it was me. Got pictures to prove it...

So we're the old bast--ds around here, eh? There must be somebody older around here... That's kinda what I was looking for when I bought the mixer. Actually, it's exactly what I was looking for- a single axle B-model, like the 2 I found, one was $1,200, the other $1,000. Something I could drive around when I wanted. I love the mixer and it has "character" for sure, but it's still big and slow! Now I wouldn't trade it for a new Dodge.

Hauled a couple of loads this week. I unloaded in Lynchburg Monday morning and went to Moneta and got a load of lumber going to Conneaut Lake, Pa. Then down to Pittsburgh to load steel to Lynchburg. Then got a load of lumber off the yard going to Oberlin and Norwalk, Ohio. Back to Pittsburgh-back to Lynchburg. (yawn...) I did see a gray Mack dump in Pittsburgh-had a "for sale" sign in the window. I actually saw another Mack for sale on rt. 51, but I didn't get a picture. I don't know what model it was, but it was a fairly new looking cabover with a set back axle and a van body. Weather's getting warmer now, so you see some nice looking new cars on dealer's lots . And I got a little better view of the B-model dump with the chrome radiator shell in Pa. And this old shovel must still work, i'm pretty sure it's been moved since the last time I was by there. I think this is where they park blimps in Akron, Ohio. This building used to be in the Guiness book of world records as the largest ...largest ...I don't know what you call it, but it's all open space on the inside, with no columns holding it up in the middle of it. And some old units on rt. 14 in Ohio. And how 'bout that cabbage, eh? This was when I put the anti-rabbit fence up a couple of weeks ago, and now.

speaking of videos, this is about the best triplex shifting video i've seen. you can tell this guy's done this a few times!

your english is probably as good as most of ours is!

I don't either, but I know nothing about body work.The man that painted it has had the reputation of being the best around, and he suggested I look for another hood! I never thought it was that bad, or that it would be hard to fix it right. I'd be a lot happier if it had been. I wish now i'd sent it off to be fixed. He only charged $150, and only did the bare minimum work.

you want that Alf coloring book? I sold an Alf doll and a set op hand puppets on e-bay a while back, forgot I had the coloring book.

it looks like somebody stepped on it or sat on it. you can pop them out with your hand but they pop right back in. it was like that when I got it. looks like he coulda put a stiffener of some kind on the underside to hold it stiff and fixed it pretty easy, but I don't know.

I wanted the top of the hood black, but it has some bents in it and I figured they would show up worser black.

I see Rob's been on here today, but he hasn't said anything funny yet...maybe he's watching me, and loading up my mixer about now.

this is true!..how do they know all that stuff?

You kids are welcome on my lawn, drop in anytime ...whippersnappers!

My wife Becky, passed away in 2005. This was taken at the beautiful Charlotte Motor Speedway, around '85-'86.

I got the hood repainted and put it back on last weekend. My next plan was to buy some used wheels and get some used tires from the shop so I can run tubeless tires on it. Todd said I could have the tires, but the wheels are $40 each and things are kinda' slow. Just don't know whether to just go ahead and get 'em, or hold off a while because they're not a necessity. But I do need tires on the rear, it's got recaps on it now, some have cracks in the sidewall, and it drives like it has footballs for tires now.

...huh?

Is that the one where Cartman is training the pony to bite the guy's unit off? -well, that was my favorite 'til I saw the Jonas Bros./Mickey Mouse episode. I don't know which one I laughed at more! "now git out there and make me some g.d. money..ha-ha!"-Mickey Mouse

...just noticed that the funniest South Park ever-well,maybe the 2nd. funniest ever-is coming on again tonight on the comedy channel at 9:30 eastern. I can't help it, it may be stoopid, I might be over 50, but it's hilarious! ...arrright now comedy central, I want my #$@% *&!! money!!...Ha Ha!!

Mackdaddy started all this...thanks-now I gotta follow through, and clean this thing!

Amazing how much crap was stuffed in my side boxes!..still is, now it just takes up slightly less space. ...
