Pics for the week

[Superdog]

Saw these new Prostars parked along the highway about 20 miles north of me.Looks like he's pretty proud of them.

Some old iron at a farm I loaded hogs at yesterday,unknown dirt scraper,old Bucyrus-Erie dozer blade and a Chevy 4100

Waiting for farmer to show up so I can load

Inside my trailer

Neat old building in Greenbush,IL,a little wide spot in the road,way off the beaten path.I'm guessing it was the General Store at one time.

Watch out!

He is probably looking for some good running Macks. Better take the keys out of your trucks.

Waiting to unload at Cargill in Beardstown,IL 4 at chutes,6 at the fans and I'm first truck on the street,3 hours later I was unloaded,not good on a 90 degree day.Look who showed up right behind me.

Waitng for a Sharkey Pinnacle to get out of my way so I can get inside the gate.

Sharkey used to used this old ex-Smith Transfer R model for a spotter at the plant,but it hasn't moved for years.

thanks Mike I forgot what blue sky looked like, ours has a smoky haze to it for the last 30 days. that 4100 reminds me of high school days dad bought a fully restored and rebuilt one , we feed cows with it for 5 years or so. First time I ever had a sector shaft break in a steering box (not fun)

Neat pictures, i've never seen the inside of a livestock trailer before. I've been taking some pictures of old stores myself whenever I see them. They're just old buildings to most, but you can tell it used to be a store. I wonder about how it used to be- maybe like French's store, with a big round wheel of cheese in a wooden box on the counter. They would guess at a pound then cut a slab off with a knife. Boloney came in a whole big roll, not in a plastic container and already sliced like now. They'd slice that with a knife for you too, then wrap it in white paper. That's what we did for lunch when I was growing up, if we didn't get home we'd go to the store and get a pound of baloney and a loaf of bread. And the old stores all had penny candy, which probably costs a quarter now.

F.LM. got more Prostars, but after the first two Maxxforce engines stayed in the shop more than they did on the road they went back to the Cummins ISX engines.

It looks like a nice place to live.

I was thinking the same thing. When I lived in Manhattan I looked at apartments that weren't nearly as spacious or well laid out.

A few more from end of the week.

Seems like all I do is sit in line.
