Part of the roof got blown off at Sharon Coatings, at A door and D door.

This girl with blue shoes was sitting on the corner.

Saw this girl crawling along 501 in Winfall last night, right after I'd seen a car in the ditch that the right front wheel had run off of. Didn't stop to see what she was doing, had to get home.

I was feeling good Monday night. The truck was washed, the weather was nice, and I had a nice run ahead of me. 1/4 mile from the terminal, I get my first bug kill of the year. Not on the passenger side but in that one spot where you have to either look around it or go cross-eyed trying to look through it. WTF!

The seat cover series is hilarious. The guy can't be all bad since he didn't go papeshit when he saw you taking pics. He even left a good amount of leg showing. Prolly a truck driver when he ain't cruising around with hot chicks.

I got on the westbound Turnpike from I-79 at around 930-1000 Tuesday night. Those look like my tail lights but I have black mudflaps. My poor routing skills would explain why it took me until the next morning to get to Butler, lost a drive axle on the way, too.

The crawling girl needs to pull onto the shoulder since she is going much slower than the posted speed limit. If not, she runs the risk of getting rear-ended...repeatedly.

that's about what time it was, I parked at the Fairgrounds Market about 9:45.

I took the "P" off the Pape and changed the lettering under it, everybody used to call them "part ape". First time i've seen one of them for a long time.

After I reviewed the picture and drank some hot sauce, I was going to go to Winfall this morning and check on her, but Supergirl beat me to it.

Interesting as usual Tom, thanks.

What's about that roof?

Meteores?

No, no meteors to my knowlege, just a big storm Wednesday night they said. The wind blew it off.

They were just starting to get the piece off the power lines Friday afternoon.

are used for coil storage, full of coils, but they had to move them all because the roof got blown off. At least if I get a wet claim at Handy Monday I can say "It wasn't me, must have already been wet!"

yeah, I remember it being there for a long time. First time i'd been that way in a while, I loaded a partial load of bricks in Sugar Creek and took them to Bristol.

The old joke about the Bland scales was "I've crossed every scale in the U.S. with this load and got a green light at every one of them until I got to Bland- then I was 1200 over on the drives."

Saw the F in March when I was headed north on I-77 but didn't have time to stop and take a picture. Thanks for posting the pics OD.

I just checked my e-logs and it shows me leaving the terminal at 9:16 which would put me at that location right at 10:00. Damn that was close.

Nice work on the Pape truck. You had me fooled for a minute several hours. I see the discoloration but it's an otherwise neat edit.
