Popular Post other dog Posted April 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2014 Early this week, because I had to abort my last mission and return to headquarters. I was on the way to New Castle, Pa. yesterday with a load of lumber when an air bag on the truck suffered catastrophic failure. I turned around at Charmco and dropped the trailer at Burns Motor Freight's yard at Sam Black Church and bobtailed back. Had a load of coils to pick up at Lane Steel in McKees Rocks coming back to Lynchburg too.Really nice people there at Burns. They even disconnected the air lines going to the bad air bag and put a coupling in it for me so the other three would still hold everything up.I took a couple of secret spy photos while I was there-Nice DM here. Had a Quadruplex in it, used to be a dump truck.I went to Brewster, Ohio to the Brewster levee with a load of beams too. I was on the look-out for Bighorns and U models but I didn't see any. I did see lots of wild aminals. I saw an elephant.A rabbit.A black prairie dawg.A black squirrel.A black bird.A red dog riding shotgun.A rhinoceros.Narrow road to the levee.End of the line.Got my doors blown clean off by a well lit bull wagon.Gauley Bridge, West Virginia.A waterfall.The Gauley River hydro station.The big green thing- looks like it's been painted recently.That's Rainelle down there-...where this IH fire truck is for sale.Art Reed's R model, and a General mixer.Nice little load of logs.Bugs...they mess up a lot of pictures...stupid bugs. 10 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Except maybe the R model, that's what he retrieves equipment with. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Mike Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hey Tom. Try not get too close to those squirrels that have a white stripe down their backs. They can have a strange effect on you and the folks you are trying to get close to.Nice photos!mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35517-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-243315 Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Never have seen a black squirrel!Come to NE OH and you can see many. There are black and gray squirrels all over my neighborhood in Canton. They love to dig up bulbs, take a bite, and then leave them lay. Gave up trying to plant bulbs (tulips, etc.). I say "the only good squirrel is a dead squirrel." This applies to other varmints too.

This applies to other varmints too.I saw what you need for squirrel hunting at the flea market yesterday- a .300 magnum rifle,with scope. Didn't ask the price though. I saw a nice Colt .357 magnum revolver i'd like to have but it was $750. I thought you could get a new one for that price! Ammo must have really gone up too- nobody had any .30-06 ammo, but I noticed a box of .38 special bullets had $41 on it. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Joe Ditchkus Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 The General Mixer most likely has a Detroit 6V-92 in with the short hood. No guarantees though.Nice pictures of your travels. Joe D.

I do however squeeze a few rounds with my pellet gun. However I need a new ACCURATE pellet gun since mine has a pattern of about 3 feet. 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35517-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-243543 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a high dollar pellet gun with scope and it was worse than a Crossman. Gave it away to my uncle. I do better with any 22 rifle. It has always been best all around gun for anyone to own for less expense. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35517-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-243558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 farmer on the subdivision try the caddy shack approach, the bbq tank can do double duty ! may I suggest doing this on the 4th of july holiday , the local cops will be busy barking dog complaints they wont have time for "its raining dirt in our culdesac" 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35517-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-243577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 My neighbor shoots squirrels with a bow and arrow and then makes a fine stew out of the pesky varmints.Funny how it taste like chicken.......He could use a gun and no one would notice. My neighbors down the hill shoot guns on a pretty regular basis. When the relatives and friends are invited over it can sound like the Hatfields and McCoys. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Popular Post other dog Posted April 30, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2014 I took a few pictures when I was bobtailing to pick the trailer up Sunday. Went across rt. 60, hadn't been across there since they put the length restriction on it. Used to haul chips and pulpwood across there to Covington all the time.Here's some animals in a field, with the summit of Mt. Pleasant in the background.Old CF trailer at Forks of Buffalo.Looking down the mountain- you can barely make out rt. 60 going between the 2 boobage-looking mountains, Buena Vista is beyond that.Building just west of Buena Vista that looks like a big coffee pot.Nothing much to do when you're broke down in Levaisy, West Virginia waiting on a wrecker except take pictures of things. That's a really nice stand of pines behind that house.Chip truck passing by, and everything you always wanted to know about Levaisy is on that sign.A dog, waiting for a car to chase- actually, he picked a single axle Mack dump truck with a loader on a trailer to chase. Didn't catch it though.The post office.GMC dump truck under a tree....and a GM diesel in an old Taylor loader. 4 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

j hancock Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Leivasy looks like the town you visit when you have to catch up on your quota of watching the grass grow. My kinda place.
