Popular Post other dog Posted December 28, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2013 I only made a short trip this week. I went to Lynchburg Thursday and picked up the trailer I dropped Monday, then loaded a load going to Hanover, Md. because the driver that usually makes that run was sick. Reloaded in Baltimore yesterday morning and got it off in Lynchburg yesterday evening.I thought about getting Graham the drivable Mack truck for Christmas, but decided to wait until his birthday in June, when he'd get a lot more use out of it. Then I found out his granny got him a battery powered Jeep, so it would have been redundant anyway. He loves Bob the Builder, so I looked for construction equipment.He doesn't seem too interested-Well, maybe a little...Doing his daily 200 pushups?I saw the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore....and this boat. I was crossing the bridge on the way back when I took this one.And the old Bethlehem Steel plant at Sparrows point. I've loaded many loads of steel there over the years, it was a busy place, trucks everywhere...now, nothing.Looks like they're tearing at least part of it down.And I might have seen Freightrain out touring on the Cub Cadet, but I'm not sure.Then on the way home I saw a damsel in distress in Winfall, but I didn't have time to stop. 12 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mackdaddy Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Say, is there a long pull of a hill when you come out of the old Bethlehem steel plant? It would have been in the direction you are coming from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 My today's favorite shot is the daily 200 pushups.Everything else is interesting also.And... surprized to see some one with Russian plates broke down in Winfall. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I live within sight of what is left of Bethlehem Steel's Bethlehem, Pa. plant. What was once the flagship of the Steel Empire in the United States is now enough to make a grown man cry. Sands Casino is enough to piss a person off without even having to enter the place.......Which I have vowed never to have to do.....Walk into a Casino made of Jap Steel constructed on the site of once a loud and proud American Steel juggernaut. Vlad- didn't I drive you around there for a few minutes this past summer? And I know I drove Slpwlkr around there for a few minutes a few months ago. 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Graham is on his break in the first pic. You need to get him a shovel to lean on.I delivered to Sam's Club in Sparrow's Point a few times when it first opened. It was a bit scary around there in the middle of the night, and I used to live in the Bronx!And... surprized to see some one with Russian plates broke down in Winfall.Winfall is a favorite destination for European tourists visiting the U.S. I'm surprised you didn't know that. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Say, is there a long pull of a hill when you come out of the old Bethlehem steel plant? It would have been in the direction you are coming from?It's right at the other end of the Key Bridge in the bridge picture, it's a pretty good pull going up the bridge, the toll booth is right at the bottom.

other dog Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Took a ride down to Cumberland to see the folks today. Saw this mashed up Western Star sitting at Cumberland Auto Service, so I pulled in and Jo took a pic. out of the passenger window.Took one of their 9500 GMC wrecker too.Saw this Ford pickup there too. And this one I saw on facebook- pretty neat, eh? 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I just saw that motor home on the travel channel or DIY, one those channels had a show about extreme motorhomesand that was one of em. He engineered it so you can drive it from the roof. The steering shaft disconnects and can beconnected upstairs. Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
