  1. That was the first time I'd been there in about 20 years. I was driving a 98 Freightliner then, going to South Dakota.
  2. The rest of the museum pictures are here- https://www.flickr.com/photos/28526133@N04/albums/72157715946409238/page1
  3. That would be great, i've already told headquarters I'm taking that Friday off.
  4. I am planning to be there, and so is Zina from Florida. Ollie too.
  5. I gotta add this one- love these D860's!
  6. More Macks in the museum- I saw this one in the mirror when I was getting the pipes unloaded- Pipes at the Iowa 80 Truck Stop. A girl in a car.
  7. I saw a loader with wooden tires on 95. I brought this tractor back from S.C. Starts on gas, runs on diesel. And I saw some big Mack trucks- I stopped at the Iowa 80 and went to the museum when I was on the way to Waterloo.
  8. Well, I unhooked and re-hooked and connected and disconnected enough wires, cables, and hoses to get on my computer for the first time in...in...I don't know, but it seems like a long time. Now I just have to make sure Zina from Florida's computer works again before I leave tomorrow- going to Florida. I wanted to download the pictures off the camera so I can delete them off the camera. Had well over 400 pictures- I take lots of pictures. Last week I had a good load, a load of pipes going to Waterloo, Ia. It was nice to run that way again, not a lot of traffic, and it was 51 degrees when I woke up Tuesday morning. And to think, just a week earlier I was on the verge of passing out from the heat in Georgia just strapping down a load of lumber! And I can hear everybody thinking, "enough of the b.s. Where's those pictures?" I saw lots of girls in lots of cars too. I saw a blue car just up the road one day, but I didn't see a girl in it. There was one in this one though. Nice looking Cutlass Supreme I saw across the parking lot in S.C. One of those big turtles in Fl. Here's an osprey on a light pole in Fl. Here's a white SUV with a luggage rack on it. I don't remember what kind of car this was. this one either. Big plane I saw in Charleston, S.C.
  9. me neither, or I would have been there! Even if I didn't buy anything I might have gotten to see the legendary 41chevy.
  10. Happy birthday!
  11. Well, nowadays things might swell that aren't supposed to and things that are supposed to don't. Whatcha gonna do?😁
  12. I see lots of id- I mean people in their car, by themselves, wearing a mask, and at least one guy on a motorcycle wearing one.
  13. I could go on and on about my experiences with union greed and laziness, but i'm not.
  14. Here's some turtles and some birds with big long curved peckers that we saw at a pond by a motel in Florida. This is Ollie from Florida checking out the carp at a marina at Smith Mountain Lake. They sell little bags of popcorn to feed them and they appear like this. They're big too, some are easily 20+ lbs, probably some would go over 30.
  15. wtf?..add tags?..I saw a truck. I saw more trucks, and lots of half nekkid girls in lots of cars, but the pictures are still on my camera. I took this with my phone, except the close-up. Zina from Florida took that with her camera.I still don't have access to my computer to download the camera pictures. I have over 200 pics. waiting to download. I can't resize pictures with my phone either and most are too big. How about those black eyed peas I planted-
  16. Reminds me of Jamerson Brothers Trucking in Appomattox, Va. In the 70's and 80's. All Herbert Jamerson ran was Macks, and he would sometimes buy a new one for tax reasons and just park it in the field behind the shop. His drivers would be complaining about driving an old F model with a 237 in it that you could look through the floorboard and see the highway and he'd have a brand new 300 F model parked that he had never even put tags on. Heard lots of stories about him. Like if you left a truck running on the yard with the AC on he would cut the truck off then take his pocket knife and cut the belt. And you better not call him after 5, even if his truck was upside down somewhere.
  17. Thank you. I drank some of this, and a quart and a half of cherry juice so far, it's already better than it was this morning.
  18. Unfortunately, yes.
  19. Zina from Florida is here now, working actually, so I don't have access to the computer. She drove up last week, and has the whole counter covered with equipment. A laptop, 2 huge monitors, and other stuff that I don't even know what it is. I didn't know if my Hughesnet would be big enough, strong enough, or fast enough, but so far so good.
  20. I saw this R model when I was out and about. They have tractor pulls there sometimes, looks like they might do some pulling with it. I've seen this beer before but never tried it. Now they sell it over at the local store, and it was only $3.99 for a 6 pack of 16 oz. cans. Not bad, not bad at all. And here's a girl in a car, from the interweb. I have to wear a mask some places, so I made myself one that looked a little different. They won't let me smoke everywhere though, so Zina from Florida sent me this fancy one without a cigarette.
  21. I am supposed to be in Lynchburg loading a load of steel going to Davenport Florida right now, but I woke up about 3am. and could barely walk. The pain in my ankle is excruciating when I put any weight on it. I'm sure it's gout, I seem to get it about every couple of years. It just comes on unexpectedly and without warning. Every other time it's been in my foot though, and it gets red and swollen by my big toe. This time it's in my ankle, and it's not red or swollen, but it hurts just as bad.
  22. They were my favorite toys, the right stick could be about anything you wanted it to be!
  23. that's a great idea!
  24. I wish! I didn't even get a clear picture because I didn't see her in time.
