Pawel Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 It reminds me of the classic lyrics: "It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville, with line with a three mile grade"...For the record - USA is getting all the snow that was meant for central Europe - the spring has come to us two weeks ago, way earlier than usual.Hope you can make it through the snow and the spring time comes to you eventually, have a nice dayPaweł Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Winter is getting hard on mother natures creaturesThe snow is deep and the coyotes are able to run on top of the snowThe turkeys can't forage on the groundThe Chickadees are doing well though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Lyrics[edit]Well they gave him his orders in Monroe VirginiaSayin' Steve you're way behind timeThis is not 38, this is ole' 97You must put her into Spencer on timeSo he turned around and said to his black greasy firemanTo shovel on a little more the coalAnd when we cross that White Oak MountainYou can watch ole' 97 rollIt's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to DanvilleIt's a line on a three mile gradeIt was on that grade that he lost his airbrakesYou can see what a jump he madeHe was goin' down that grade makin' 90 miles an hourWhen his whistle broke into a screamHe was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttleScalded to death by the steamSo ladies you must take warnin'From this time on and learnNever speak harsh words to your true lovin' husbandsThey may leave you and never returnI said ladies you must take warnin'From this time on and learnNever speak harsh words to your true lovin' husbandsThey may leave you and never return, They may leave you and never return Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 I just went out to scrape the windshield and go to work. I didn't even know it was still sleeting until I went outside. Both doors were frozen shut on the pickup, I chopped my way in with the ax then started to hack about a quarter inch of ice off the windshield. Guess i'll wait a while, but it's not supposed to get over 30 today. 28 now. Stupid ice... Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Joe Ditchkus Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 There was a truck driver version of the song "Wreck of Ole 97" it was "Wreck of The Old Slow Binder" by Dave Dudley. It was great also. I used to find it on UTube but it does not come up anymore. I have the album somewhere with a KW COE on the cover. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have a couple of CDs with old truck driving songs, one has the hot girl in short-shorts standing in front of the truck with her thumb in the air. One of my favorites is "Passing Zone Blues". I don't remember who sang it, but he was in Maryland "in the left lane, scraping gears, trying to get up the hill" and gets pulled over. Then he tells the cop "if you'll just let me go i'll crank this smoking Mack, stay behind...won't try to pass..." Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

We got a dusting but my car doesn't need to move until tomorrow night, so I'll leave the jaws of life on the shelf for now.Over here we have a high of 43 today with high's in the 50's and low's in the upper 30's the rest of the week.Maybe....just maybe.......
