other dog

was this taken at your birthday party?

oh yeah, I remember when you called me and asked what a nail-head Buick looked like.

About 10 years ago I had the opportunity to purchase a 1960 C-80 Chevrolet truck, single axle cab & chassis with a 348 engine for $500. Owner had no title, but I could have gotten one i'm sure. Truck ran good and was in pretty good condition overall. Many times i've regretted not buying that truck, the engine was worth more than the asking price.

Now there's gonna be an ink shortage along with the silicone shortage-what a caboose!..not that there's anything wrong with that

I like to check this site to see what they've got and the prices. Sometimes these prices make me feel like I stole the mixer though. http://oldmacks.com/trucks.htm

yeah, i'd like to see them coming down the road at me, and just think of all the attention Mike would get in a parade!

Looks like he's celebrating because he finally reached the summit.

I got 12 of 17, but several were just a guess, I had no idea what it was.

oh yeah, the dash board lights up like a Christmas tree when you turn the switch on. see-switch on...switch off

thanks, they've got some nice looking B-models there. Might be like the place mine came from, just didn't want to run equipment that old and parked them and put them up for sale. Look like they're in good shape.

Interesting theory, but note that no indicator lights are on-this is an actual photo, un-retouched as they say

Actually, I painted my '71 Ford F-100 pickup in the driveway once with a brush and red implement paint from the hardware store...yeah, you're right - nevermind. One more coat though, and it might have been a different story I drive a Peterbilt. Totes tha' mail too!

thanks for the ideer Mike,hadn't thought of that!

Dang it! Every time I think i've got it all figured out... back before AC was invented, i'd be riding along with the window down and my arm hanging out-left arm stayed brown in summer,right one was white-anyway,I got popped by bees or wasps a couple of times myself,once in the neck and once under my arm-very painful.You wouldn't want one of them monsters to get stung, who knows how much extra pressure they could stand from a bee sting- the ensuing explosion could be catastrophic. We may need more testing

new democrat party...

Indeed!..coulda gotten Mike hurt too. WARNING, Mike, DO NOT exceed 35 mph. until you have fully tested this, and wear a full face helmet with goggles or face shield!

I've been pondering this situation, and came up with an easier way-just remove the windshield, and she can lay them out on the hood. Put some padding around the bottom edge first-and wear your goggles.

you'd probably have to get another cab with an integral sleeper, remove the bunk, relocate the seat,steering column,all the pedals to the back of the sleeper compartment, or she wouldn't fit. Lots of work.

no wonder the price of a tube of silicone has skyrocketed! there's a shortage now because of her! She used up all we had , then had to go to Brazil.

I'd give her a back rub for free - til Jobyna kilt me. Maybe she could put some helium in 'em too, so they'd be floating up and not put any strain on her back.

That's a good question there Mike, I just don't know. Looks like she keeps her high beams on all the time though, eh? They are 38 KKKs by the way. She had to go to Brazil to get them that big, she couldn't get them biggerized in the U.S. anymore. (from 700WLW's website) what was the original topic here anyway?..can't remember...oh well

Guess I should catch up a little. I went to Chesapeake Monday and came back up to Petersburg and loaded another load for Roxana,Il. Delivered there Tuesday evening and loaded in Pittsboro, In. Wednesday morning for Petersburg, Va. Hit snow in Charleston, W.V. coming back, but the turnpike was pretty clear. When I got off on 64 east at Beckley it was a different story. Completely covered. I waited on top of Sandstone mountain for a couple of hours, hoping the snow would stop...and a plow truck would come by. I think there was one truck working the mountain, and it's 5 miles down it, 7%. I got caught in the snow a couple of times there last winter, and why they don't try to keep it clear I do not know. Sandstone is as long, and a lot steeper, than any of the mountain passes I crossed going to Puyallup. I know they might measure snowfall out there in feet instead of inches, but when Sandstone is completely covered, not even 2 tracks clear, it can be pretty intense going down it. I finally eased on down about 15-20 mph. and made it OK. I unloaded in Petersburg Thursday, then reloaded for Roxana again with a 60' load this time. It delivers Tuesday.

here's a good example...

reminds me of the old saying "shoulda got 2 hats...". You know, one to cover it up with But I must say, that is a fine looking cap , one of the nicest i've seen.
