Popular Post other dog Posted February 28, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2015 I've been sitting around running the electric bill up more than i've been working lately. I took a load of lumber to Bluefield, Va. Wednesday and came back empty.Then I took a load of steel to Charlotte from Lynchburg and came back to Moneta and loaded lumber for Coconut Lake,Pa. to leave Sunday with. Got a return load of roll-off bodies in Greenville going to Ringold, Va.I saw the radar dome from Bedford when I went to Moneta.I saw a gator before I got to Roanoke....on the back of a container.Rt. 460, west of Blacksburg.New River-some equipment in Narrows-and a big Mack truck-Rt. 460 between Narrows and Rich Creek.The New River is to the left, them there hills and the big stack are on the West Virginia side.Who names these roads around here anyway?Lots of big yellow machines in Princeton, W.V.Lowes store in Bluefield. I'm headed back out from behind the store here. I went inside and they said to go back around front and they would unload me in front of the main entrance. They got 20" of snow out there, so I had to go all the way behind the store, turn around in a snow covered parking lot, the go all the way back around to the front, and even then they got the forklift stuck and broke the bands on a pack of 2x4's trying to get me unloaded, dumping them on the trailer.The big stack from W.V, looking towards the Va. line.Four wheelers, dump trucks, trains...the New River is in front of the train, the road curves to the right and crosses the bridge into Va.The New River, from the bridge.A man, in a boat, in the river...fishing. I don't remember exactly how cold it was, but I think it was around 30 degrees.New River-Art Reed's place, Montvale, Va. 12 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted February 28, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2015 And more...I took Jo over to Altavista to the DMV Tuesday, it's conveniently located next door to the liquor store...I saw some gulls flying around, so I threw some chips out...I didn't know they had signs on all the poles there saying not to feed the gulls, or you will be arrested!When I got up Thursday morning, it was looking like this around here-Other Dog barely had enough ground clearance to make it to the bush.I made it out to go load the Charlotte load though- at least I could see a little bit of pavement this time.Saw a pretty neat looking machine at the shop, don't know who's it is or where it came from.Richard Childress' winery on rt.52 in N.C.Crossing Smith Mountain Lake on rt. 122, on the way to Moneta....and last but not least, I saw a very poorly photo-chopped girl in Princeton,W.V. 6 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

j hancock Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Excellent tour!I think the girl is doing a combination of rock and ice climbing. Lots of rock climbers wear that type of outfit. It always looks better on the wimmin climbers..... Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thank you for the pics Tom.It's nice to see long ways while you're off the steering wheel spending time in a shop.Sometimes it's not so bad to work in a shop while the roads are snowy and icey though.

57 bcr Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Tom,Thanks again for all the pics of your travels. Your "other dog" looks like the one we had when I was a kid! I remember many a winter morning up in the U.P. of Michigan,she had a tough time finding a good spot to do her business! Ha ha! I'd keep a run shoveled off in the back yard,just so she didn't have to freeze her little butt off! Love the photo chopping, also. You crack me up!
