How about Ontario? I hear it's nice...but i've always wanted to visit Canada. I'm afraid if I go up there they wouldn't let me back in when I tried to come back

yeah,I agree,that N14 was hard to beat,I drove several of them,the W900 I drove for Jeff before he traded for this Peterbilt was my all time favorite truck-had an N14 525 in it,never broke down,only once failed to proceed when the air compressor "come undone". Todd's getting ISX Cummins engines in the new trucks and one of them had the water pump go out on the very first trip-like trucks,they don't make 'em like they used to!

I can understand wanting to get the hell outa' New Jersey,but all the way to Australia?

I noticed lots of cameras on the roads around Fishers on Google Earth,like they've got street view or something...not that I ever look at Fishers or anything,but if you were to disclose your exact location I could spy on you better

wow!- sounds like great advice to me! I like old GMC's too-I joined that GMC site a while back looking for 860 pictures but didn't see any-they're my favorite old Jimmys.

I went by Carter Cat this morning and pulled the truck outside the gate so I could get it Sunday,then went to Concord,got my check,went to the bank,then the post office for stamps,then to Appomattox to the drugstore,and when we got back to Concord and turned on 24 Jobyna saw a little water can at the little flea market they always have on the corner there,by the produce stand.Of course she wanted to stop and look around. I said "I don't want none of that crap",so we stopped to look around. I found 2 "Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" tapes for a dollar each. Made a pretty good score there after all.

that IS a great find-a jewel!

I told Jeff one time I had a gallon of gasoline in the side box in case it catches on fire . It should be fixed today,i'll be leaving for Cincinnati Sunday-it was just an intake valve actuator malfunction (about the third time,along with broken rocker arms a couple of times, one turbo, overheating problems-mostly Cat problems more than Peterbilt)

uhh...ain't been yet. But I did call my dentist from Alabama Tuesday,and he called in a prescription for some antibiotics for me. I'm gonna pick it up tomorrow. I might be a procrastinater.

I like the one with the 2 piece windshield-some of the best looking trucks ever.I always liked the looks of the Freightliners in the '70s and '80s, cabovers too.

...now that's just funny right there! Yeah,Jeff's pretty smart like that.I've got a refrigerator in it too. as a matter of fact i'm at home now instead of on the way to Cincinnati because it's broke down again. It did make it in under it's own power though. I passed everybody on I-85 from Atlanta to Greensboro with 46,000 lbs. of rebar on.Then the engine light came on and everybody passed me back before I got to Richmond.It's at the Cat place now.

thanks Underdog,for jumping in there first and sparing me from the wrath of Rob! Rob has never been known to be wrong(yet),but you don't want to get on his bad side.

sorry 'bout that,I have to drive what Jeff gives me

- captain's log...9 days later...still uploading file...

It's one of them Petes...

must have taken you a long time to leapfrog both of the trucks to California and back

I might have seen you around somewhere, I run the same general area-lot of Ohio and western Pa, but I might turn up most anywhere.

I put the Bulldog mirrors on the mixer and I didn't know which way they were supposed to be facing either.I have mine facing out. Everything was fine until Jeff told me they were backwards,but I never did change them. I've seen pictures of lots of mirrors turned the same way as mine,but most are facing each other. I don't think you'll get in trouble either way they're facing,the main thing is that they're not upside down. I watched an ATHS video a while ago and noticed that the late Dr. Bill Comcowich's were facing out on his W-71 too,so i'm gonna leave mine facing out unless the mirror police make me change 'em.

they should have sued George Bush too-I'm sure it was his fault,everything else is! Reminds me of what the insurance man told us at the last safety meeting. A truck driver was involved in an accident on 285 in Atlanta that was entirely not his fault in any way,shape or form but he was running over his 11 hours driving time,so they ended up pinning it all on the truck driver because they said he wasn't supposed to be there in the first place-that's B.S. too. And I'd vote for Clarence Thomas, J.C.Watts, Colin Powell, or Condaleesa Rice for president with no second thoughts...but since they're not running I guess i'll have to go with Sarah Barracuda.

,and ...and last week it was a sore throat,then Wednesday night coming back from Ga. I had one of the worst headaches i've ever had, now the gum situation...ain't been sick in years,hope i'm making up for that,instead of signs of things to come.

naw,i'm still waiting on tires myself-we got plenty of tires,but I need to accumalate 4 more wheels. I can check on used tires for you though,and put them on the next load going to Orchard Park.

well,..I certainly don't blame you for that...

Great looking truck-looks like a truck oughta!

just a little side note,but I thought it was funny- I was looking at the local TV station's web site today,and they had a list of the top stories over to the side. One headline in particular caught my attention-"McCain taps Palin to be his VP". You had to join up,sign in,provide a name and e-mail address to comment on the stories,but I absolutely could not resist...I had to do it...sorry-they might throw me in the slammer for it, but I joined,got my confirmation e-mail,logged in and replied-"I'd tap it too if I thought I stood half a chance-if I were John McCain i'd give Cindy 50 bucks and tell her to go to Wal-Mart and have at it,while I tapped Sarah".

that's what I do- don't go far,but I make about 2 parades and 2 shows a year.
