Popular Post other dog Posted February 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2014 Not much to be seen this week, been running mill rolls from Petersburg, Va. to Milton, W.V. all week. I should be in Milton right now, but I had to wait 10 hours last night while they finished cutting the second roll. Got there about 4:30-quarter to 5 yesterday evening and left this morning at 4am. Went straight to Petersburg and unloaded and loaded up another one, which i'll just take up there Monday.The wind has been wicked all week, not just Tuesday. I think yesterday was the worst- weather channel in Lewisburg said there were gusts up to 55mph. Here's a picture of the wind blowing-...OK, moving on- I did get a better picture.Neat looking tall skinny house in Iron Gate, Va. Even has a red and yellow Smart Car in the driveway.Saw this parking lot coming down Sandstone Mountain with his trailer brakes smoking. He went in the runaway ramp- I was talking to NoClueJoe66 on the phone and watching in the mirror, I think he managed to get it stopped on the edge of the escape ramp without getting over in the pea gravel. He wasn't going all that fast, and if you get in the gravel you aren't coming out without a wrecker, and probably a substantional bill.Fueled at Lee-Hi- lot different now than in Mark's picture, and I didn't even get all of it in the picture.Saw one of those SGT trucks this morning.The Mack trucks lined up at the mill. They load beams on these trailers up there where the Big Red Taylor is and carry them out to the yard where they're stockpiled.The gps- A while back A driver going west on 460 asked me if I knew where the sawmill he was going to in Blackstone was. I told him "yeah, just turn left at the first Blackstone exit, it's rt.460 business, sawmill's a little ways on the left."Then he said "oh, never mind, my gps said to turn here."So he turned there...It was still 15 miles to Blackstone.He should have turned here-There's the sawmill he was looking for, up there on the left. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
