Popular Post other dog Posted August 18, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2012 I finally managed to muster up enough energy to make one trip this week. I felt terrible the first part of the week. I called Ma this morning, and she wanted to know if i'd been bitten by a mosquito. She said it sounded like the west nile virus, and that had been reported in the area. I was laying on the ground jacking the mixer up to change the tires last week and stirred up dozens of mosquitos, so I probably did get bitten a few times. I think maybe I caught the swine flu, because I was watching Hog Hunters on tv last week. And Jo thinks I got a virus from playing on the computer...So, anyway, I took a load of lumber to Roseville, Ohio and brought firebrick back from Alliance. Ran across 60 from Charleston coming back because I invested my money in a bag of sweet corn and some nice tomatoes at the produce stand in Newcomerstown. Bought 4 dozen ears, just put most in the freezer.Saw this double sleeper cabover for sale east of Charleston. Been sitting there a pretty good while.This is Chimney Corner, heading east on rt. 60.This is a girl in a car.and this is the mysterious "Mystery Hole".These are some of the old truckstop just east of Ansted. The little booth is the old scales, where you weighed one axle at a time. I think it cost .25 cents an axle- I paid $8.00 at Mineral Wells to weigh that load of lumber Thursday.This used to be a state weigh station, just a little ways past the truckstop. You can still see the concrete pad with the grooves where they put the portable scales in, right there between the power pole and that first group of trees.I hit this fellow coming through Lynchburg last night- It was so big I thought it was a bat at first, but it was just a big moth....and this is a red dump truck- 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Green Dash Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Good to hear you were well enough to get back to work. Was that Higgins lumber in Roseville, OH? Been there a few times.Nice shots of US 60 and the reminder that sharing the road with women drivers isn't ALL bad.

Olivetroad Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The blushing bride thought we had the swine flu the other day when the boys and I got up early and cooked and ate three (3) pounds of bacon. About 10:00 all that pork belly in my David belly did not feel so good......

There's a cable across the driveway in the picture with a sign on it, but it might be open on just weekends, or during the day. It was around 6:30 or 7pm. when I passed by.

other dog Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 I just realized the captions are ABOVE the pictures.That's pretty funny- I went back and read the lower captions to the photos above. Now I really want to see the mystery hole. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Green Dash Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I went to Carter Lumber, on rt. 93.I never cared much for navigating a big truck through Zanesville. We had customers on both ends and it would sometimes take 30 minutes to get across town.That's pretty funny- I went back and read the lower captions to the photos above. Now I really want to see the mystery hole.But then it wouldn't be a mystery anymore. You wouldn't want to spoil it now, would you?.....

I would sometimes head south to deliver in Malta and then run 78 west. You'd feel right at home on that road.

Olivetroad Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Dave I sent you a MessageMike -I never got it unless it was one of those messages that only cool people can read? That pretty much leaves me out if cool is a requirement. I once heard that it is harder for most folks classified by society as "cool" to make it to heaven, so things may not be as bad as they seem?Back to the silage field I go.........
