extra pies? funny you should ask-I have apple,blueberry,stawberry,pecan,and peach. And a six legged turkey. Bought it really cheap from this farm over by the nucular pire plant

Amen to that-couldn't have been said any better. Sorry for your loss.

you can fly into Gladys International cheap,they have the discount airline service.Bring your own peanuts,and I hope you don't mind being delayed while they dust a few crops on the way

i'm gonna make camel stew with mine. might let it set for a couple of weeks,then make the stew before it starts to turn on me. If you ever come up here to visit, you've got to meet Jeff. I think he can recite the entire movie.

"that don't make no sense Everette"...Pete

come on over, i'll pick you up at Gladys International Airport. My pies contain no fat, sugar, or calories

Last week when I left Thursday going to Masury,Ohio (everybody hates Masury ) Todd told me to "run this load, and you'll be done 'til after Thanksgiving". That didn't really happen, as I left Monday and took a load of fingers (well,that's what they called them) to Milan, Ohio. When I left he said "run this load, and you'll have a four day weekend coming up anyway". That didn't happen either. I delivered in Milan Tuesday, which is near Norwalk, and ran in snow all the way from Strasburg to Milan to Macedonia, which is near Cleveland, and back down I-77 almost to Charleston, W.V. before I ran out of it. I unloaded in Roanoke this morning and went to Dillwyn and loaded up an Orchard Park load for Monday. This is good, I was hoping he was joking when he said i'd be done 'til after Thanksgiving. I like to eat and have electricity too. After I got home today I processed the turkey-you know,got all the accessories out that they put inside of 'em-and put it in salt water to soak overnight. It's in a cooler on ice on the back porch, along with the four extra turkey legs I bought-the ones that cost more than the whole turkey . Then I made turkey stock from the accessory pack i'd previously removed, and cooked all the sweet potatoes I had and made six pies. I feel like I had a pretty good day. I'll slap that turkey in the smoker oven first thing in the morning, everybody come on over!

Amen brother! (Bulldogman)

I had a good size shed I built at the old house, complete with a "cook shed" on one end of it where I kept my grill and smoker oven. Had a freezer plus all my tools and equipment in the shed, now it's all stuffed in this little metal shed out back, so full I can't get in it, and can't find anything because something's on top of it,no matter what i'm looking for. Wish I could find a picture of the old cook shed to scan, but alas , my scanner still won't work. It was nice though, used it in all kinds of weather.

i'm sure it is, I think they still had the jersey walls up last time I was through there. Probably been a couple of months since I went to Orchard Park. This is the truck I drive.

...and still nothing-no snappy comeback. Totally unlike Rob, now i'm worried about his well being.

I very seldom run the Ohio pike, I run rt. 20 from Fremont to Norwalk all the time. When I started driving in '79 it cost $21 to run the Pa. pike from Breezewood to Ohio with 50,155 lbs. on the trailer, that was class 7 I think. I have no idea what it would cost now. Now I run I-64 to 60 to 20 to 39 to 19 to I-79 and north, or if i'm coming out of Petersburg or farther east I go across 68 to 79.

...and after I got back from sunny Florida, I went to Masury,Ohio. From palm trees to snow covered highways.

mine has done that sometimes- I usually wiggle it around, or twist it in, and it stops. I call it "the brake button".

looks like I might be off next week too. Not because of vacation, because of nothing to do.

ask Rob, he knows-oh,wait-you are Rob...uh...nevermind. my bad

no, but if I had i've heard diesel fuel will kill 'em...oh, you mean crossing the road...never mind

... (i'm too lazy to write anything )

Just a few pictures I took on the last Florida trip-load of sheets I took down, red & black Mack dump parked in front of N.B. Handy in Boca Raton, N.B.Handy trailer, a nocluejoe unloader machine with rubber tracks, the load of lumber I brought back, and an old GMC dump truck trying to hide a b-model Mack on rt.301 in South Caolina.

well i drove my b63 home today was a trip allright brake pod started leaking lost all the air backed the brakes off and kept going two tires were flat and wouldnt hold air so she shook all the way couldnt go over 50 mph but she want to go faster had to keep backing off the trottle filled her with water and after i got going it started to leak out the overflow all over the windshield had the hood off so i could keep an eye on things so with all the water on the windows i couldnt see had no power steering because i had no air pressure but she ran good and shifted good even with the out of round tires she was smooth riding but its a long frame rail truck i also lost the batteries on the way even though they were straped down but it was fun let me no what you think you're right, that was a helluva ride, but at least you got it home

I have a set of books called "The Trucking Pioneers", sort of a history of early trucking companies. Some are still around today and some are not, for various reasons. I've been meaning to go through all 8 volumes and find the companies that were put out of business -directly or indirectly-because of unions, because I noticed there were a lot. I finally got started today because I had nothing else to do, I was by myself and it's pouring rain. I've found an even dozen so far, Hennis, Mason-Dixon, Pilot, Ringsby, Spector, Cooper-Jarrett, Eazor, Hemingway, Garford Trucking corp,Interstate Motor Lines, Michigan Express, and TIME-DC. ...and I only went through the first two volumes- got six more to go.

you're so right-that's why I didn't say it

I want to say "I need lots of things-get over it" so bad I can hardy stand it!..but i'm not gonna

I only live about 60 miles east of Roanoke
