Popular Post other dog Posted June 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2014 Only got a few pictures this week, so here with even more gripping descriptions than usual...A mixer in Gladys,Va.Another mixer in New London,Va. I saw this Lynchburg Ready Mix Diamond T passing by on 460 when I stopped at the Express Lane the other day and grabbed a quick pic just as he was pulling away from the stop light.They've been digging and grading on this place for a long time in White Sulphur Springs,West Virginia. It's between the Greenbrier Hotel and I-64. I was wondering what it was, and if you don't know something, ask a Burns driver. He said the owner of the Greenbrier was building it and it was going to be a practice facility for an NFL team.I need to turn right right there to get unloaded and reloaded. All this TMC had to do was pull up about 15 feet and I could turn- but no, he sat right there until he was finished chaining that roll down.I saw a rabbit scratching his head.I saw a storm up ahead in Pa..I saw rain up ahead in Va. You can usually see all the way to the top of Afton Mtn. from here, it was pouring rain at the bottom of this hill.Saw an old military truck.Later I saw another one- I think this one might be for sale.Saw lots of odd looking trailers.I saw a girl in a car. 8 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

1958 F.W.D. Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I wonder if that antique mixer was heading to some truck show that I have heard about in eastern Pa? Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Was the rabbit scratching his head over the TMC?

slpwlker Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'd of asked him to move please if not then things get serious real quick. A trailer into his trailer would not be unheard of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted June 14, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2014 I rode down to Cumberland today to see Mom and Dad. Daddy mentioned that they were married in 1951...wow! Ma's still doing pretty good, Dad's slowed down a good bit in the last couple of years.Took a few pictures along the way of course- stopped and looked at this 400 Farmall in Appomattox.My brother's Farmalls, a C and an H. He used to have a 350, but he sold it.Saw all these units parked at the old Ford dealership in Appomattox- I don't know a thing about them, who owns them, or where they came from, but they look good for their age to be unrestored. They look like one of those "barn finds" you hear about sometimes.A little before my time, but the Ford appeared to have a manually operated cable shifted 2 speed rear? 4 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

vision386 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 We had a 1952 F-4 Ford on our farm with that set-up,Pop said it didn't work worth a shit in cold weather! I remember changing points in the later electric ones,that wasn't much fun either!......................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

Green Dash Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 There was a storm in PA?TMC is smart enough to chain down that load but to stupid to see that he's blocking an access road. I hope the load made it to it's destination. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
