other dog Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Well...actually that subject is too controversial...and I can't delete it...everybody expects something...oh, I know what i'll do- I went to the shop today to leave on a routine mission delivering a load of train wheels to Sharon, Pa. This load that's back behind the other trailer! Noticed a puddle of unknow fluid under the truck, which I later determined to be coolant.Further investigation turned up a line from the air compressor that was leaking, which caused the puddle to form on the ground.So I called Jeff, and he said he'd get Jimmy to fix it in the morning and to just leave tomorrow with the train wheels. That's OK with me, we left there peeling rubber in the Ford Ranger headed home- Jo was driving of course.Stopped at the store in Rustburg on the way home and I took a picture of a Western Star with a load of pulp wood that was parked there.I cooked a boston butt yesterday in the smoker, figured i'd have some good ol' pulled pork barbecue sammiches this week. Put some on a plate for Jo too, I took all the rest of it. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhasler Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 So you're saying that yellow stuff isn't paint at all, it's yellow cake uranium? Holy Toledo, no wonder the line was leaking coolant!

Sounds good, the sauce Otherdog makes will sure have your sinuses flowing like a river. I guard the fridge and use it sparingly. We have a BBQ place here that is called Famous Daves that has very good sauces. I just don't get over to that side of town very often anymore.mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I hear you. We've got Spicey's on the other side of the tracks here.......I'm not allowed there by momma. I come out covered in sauce and in a feeding daze. Best ribs and chicken I ever had.

It could snap at any load, get outta there! Is your hair thinning? Do you wear glasses? Do you crave hog parts?

I had to roll all those axles to the back of the trailer, uphill. Then they reloaded me the same way- set one axle on the rear and I had to roll it to the front, uphill.

other dog Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 flat beddin'...sometimes you gotta load in the rain, get soaking wet strapping a load of lumber down.So, why don't you get a rain suit, dumbass?Well, actually I have a rain suit- I put the coat on, but i'm too lazy to put the pants on because they're a pain in the ass. So all the water runs down and soaks my jeans worse than if I hadn't put the coat on in the first place.More train wheels- the return load in Sharon won't be ready until Tuesday, so they're sitting. Maybe i'll take them after I take the lumber to Alliance, Ohio.I went to Middlefield, Ohio with a load of lumber Wednesday, and all I saw was this Laidlaw truck.
