Couple more pictures. I took them both with the phone, one's mighty big, taking forever to download. I don't understand how that works. This one's just kinda big.

Well, we're at the truck show in Winchester. Not many trucks here yet.

We're at the Tri State ATHS Show in beautiful Clearbrook, Va. Show's today, tomorrow, and Saturday so there's not much going on yet.

That's what mines was, had a 152 in it- half of a 304. The previous owner had it bored .060 over though. I had more fun in that one than any of the rest of them.

I had a few Scouts, a 64, a 66, and a 71 and 73 Scout II. This was a 71 or 73 that I used to mud race with, it had a Chevrolet engine and transmission. The other 71 or 73 had the original 345 engine in it, it was all stock and we just went trail riding through the woods and local logging roads with it. I don't remember which one was which, just that one was a 71 and the other a 73.

Oh yeah- This is a screenshot from my phone, so it's probably one of them MB pictures, which means mighty big. I like to resize them down to KB size, which is only kinda big, but I can't do it from my phone.

That Esso B model tanker is a sharp looking unit. I think I've seen it there before hooked to a red Emeryville.

Sorry, but i'm going to post a pretty picture just in case anybody is tired of looking at these bad pictures. So here's some girl in Sam's Club in Winfall.

That's for sure, when I was coming up they were the wheels to have, those or Keystones were about the only choices then. I always liked the Keystone mags too, but they were all too expensive at the time. But like I was saying about the gearshift knobs, if I had known then what I knows now, I would have bought all I could afford then and put them in the deep freeze- I could retire now if I had. 🤣

Zina from Gladys says to tell your wife to get liquid vitamin E, it helps with scarring. She's not a pharmacist but she's worked for Kroger Specialty Pharmacy for a long time. And she once stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

I told you it was good stuff!

Well, what's that old saying?.. there's some old saying about something...anyhow, my ex- not ex-wife, but we lived together for about 12 years after my wife passed away- was from Va. and she was a total bitch. On the other hand, Zina was born and raised in Connecticut. She was a grown woman when she moved to Florida, but she's just as sweet as they come.

That's the same thing I do to get the trash barrel going. I burn whatever will burn so I don't accumulate too much trash, and take the rest to one of the county dumpsters, when they're open. When Zina first got here, or maybe when she was visiting, she was wondering why I was loading the trash bag out of the can into the trunk of the car. She said "why don't you just put the can out by the road?". I said "it'll be there for a long, long time". She was used to having trash pick up day in Florida.

Holy mackerel Joey, that looks horrible! Wishing you a speedy recovery too, like Onyx610 said I know burns are extremely painful.

Here's my hairdo from the back.

Zina said "hey" back!

Zina said hey!

That reminds me of a T shirt I saw years ago- it said on the front "instant asshole-just add alcohol". And I knew people like that, no matter what they drank, when they got drunk they just wanted to fight. I was more the "I'm friends with everybody" type when I was drinking. 😁

It's good stuff!

Sorry, but you must have me confused with somebody else!

That's exactly how I was, I used to look forward to leaving on Sunday and going up the road to somewhere, then as time went on I dreaded leaving the house. Same with getting a new truck, it was a big deal to get a new truck at first, like these KWs- each new one was a little better than the last one. But as time went on you'd get a new one because the old one was traded in or something, and the new one was not necessarily any better, and a lot of times it was worse than your old one. And people were saying how much they disliked moving, I got to where I hated switching trucks. Ater driving the same truck for a couple of years it's amazing how much stuff you accumulate! And of course besides the clothes and personal items, there was all the equipment- tools, tarps, chains, straps, corner protectors, binders, etc.

Thank you. That was a nice truck, top of the line everything. Outstanding for a company truck. I got that truck new after getting this '83 model new the year before. It was similar to the '84 except it had a 350 Cummins in it and the '84 had a 400. That was big power back then. H.H. Moore had just started getting KW's afters years of having mostly Internationals and some Macks. The next year I got this '85 model, same specs. as the '84 except it had an engine brake. And that was the last cabover I ever drove, he started getting T800 KWs after that.

Hardly pictures of the week any more, I don't take anywhere near the number of pictures that I used to but I've used that title for years, so why change now, eh? That's Canadian, I try to use it periodically so I don't forget how. Anyhow, here's a couple I got a week or so ago. On second thought, never mind. I got these on my phone, but I'm going to send them to myself, then I can get them off the computer, then I can resize them. The first one is 2.6 MB, another is 4.4 MB. I don't know exactly what that means, but I know it means the picture is really big. MB is big, really big. I want to get to KB. KB is not too big- Be back in a few. So, on the way back from Bedford we stopped at the store in Huddleston. We were going to try some of that catfish they had, but it was $12 so we left it there. But we saw this nice looking pickup in the parking lot. Then when we got to Altavista we spotted this nice looking Ford in a parking lot, so we turned around to get a picture. I hate crooked pictures, I mean if you're too lazy to hold the camera straight, just don't bother, right? Like this one at the Piggly Wiggly in Winfall for example- I found this picture the other day and I thought maybe I would do one of those "10 years ago" pictures everybody is doing now. I think this was taken around 10 years ago. I was standing by the almost new 1984 Kenworth I was driving just before I left the yard at H.H. Moore's one Sunday afternoon. Might strike the same pose in similar clothes beside a cabover truck, if I can find one. Should be some at the Winchester show that's coming up soon. And here's one from the interweb that i'm posting, just because it's almost fall, it'll be getting cold soon, and it looks warm where ever this picture was taken. That, and everybody loves boobage.
