other dog

P.S.-

went to the beach while I was there...

by the way, I went to Florida this week. In a truck.

you spelt Gladys wrong

I check out Hank's truck pictures periodically to stay up to date, and saw this H-model on his latest entry. One of the prettiest i've ever seen.

I don't remember...somewhere a bit north of Nashville I think.

you wouldn't think a highway sign would do that but he might have been traveling at a high rate of speed and about to blow over anyway. Or the picture may not be real,I don't know.

oops!

A couple of big rigs

me too, never thought to check it.

uh-oh! I didn't really, I found the bottle in the trash barrel at the truckstop fuel island and re-used it. The squirt bottle is very convenient, but it has regular old 85w-90 gear oil in it (used of course). I guess I should switch to synthetic and try to eat healthier.

I got up early this morning, so I decided to cook breakfast...

I don't know if there's any dead rats in the mixer cab, but they had definately been into the d-con I left for them. I didn't have time to check yesterday because I got back from Florida around 5:30 and had to get to the bank before they closed at 6:00. Wonder if a rubber snake would keep them out? I went to Neville Island with a load of beams Monday, then reloaded in Sharon, Pa. back to Lynchburg. Turns out the coils were the wrong size , so I dropped them at the shop and took a load of beams to Fernandina Beach, Fl. on another trailer. I had a load to pick up at Nucor in Huger, S.C. and the earliest loading time I could get was 11:30 Thursday night. Got there around 7:00, but didn't even get across the scales until 1:00 AM. Finally backed in to load at 4:00, and left a little after 5AM. I called Todd and told him i'd been at the #@$!ing place all night trying to get loaded. He wanted to know if i'd seen anybody else. The other 2 trucks had gotten 7:30 appointments, and at least one of them was already back in Lynchburg. So I just took 26 over to 95 and went north to the first rest area and pulled in and took a nap. Now I have 2 loads of coils sitting at the shop-they still haven't figured out what to do with the first one. They were too big for Handy to cut, so I don't know if they'll send them back to Sharon Coatings, or get them recut somewhere else. I see the truck show pictures from Lincolnton, N.C. that I sent to the ATHS are posted on their site now. http://forums.aths.org/InstantForum414/Topic64199-34-1.aspx Pretty boring report there,eh?..zzzzz

coulda been worse-at least he didn't use Volvo air tanks. I'd have went with used Peterbilt tanks myself, and sent Rob a picture.

I noticed that! Great looking unit by the way

There is one addition I would make-i'd have an old engine block swinging on a chain out of that big tree.

Me too!.. great looking truck!

Yes,there's always a time when you have to decide whether it's safer to go through the light or try to get stopped. A big single coil loaded eye to the side might make a difference in your decision.I always said the blinking warning lights before you get to the light was one of the best ideas they ever came up with-if I see it start to blink I start stopping,but they don't have those everywhere.Everywhere around here's got red light cameras now though. Maybe "it's not about safety,it's about money"?

We're all looking for you on Pinks-All Out.I like that show.

Oh yeah, definately classic rock-Pink Floyd,Yes,ZZ Top,Al Green,etc ...

shhh-oot! thought you were gonna say "of the rolling stone".

new sponsor there,eh?

Congratulations on a fine season!

Don't worry-this is an offer even Momma couldn't refuse. I'm sure she'll be happy for you to have it.Good story too,way better than telling her you actually won it in a card game.

I get the cheap stuff from Wal-Mart...speaking of Wal-Mart, this is from the "people of wal-mart site
