Popular Post other dog Posted March 21, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2015 I only took a few pictures this week. I hadn't even had a cold all winter, but I managed to catch one this week- felt like crap from about Tuesday on, and still feel like crap. All because I got that haircut...took all my powers...should have waited a few weeks...But I noticed that you can see the radar station on Apple Orchard Mtn. from N.B.Handy in Lynchburg...after zooming in-I might get a bigger,better,stronger camera some day, but I like the one i've got for taking drive-by pictures.Sundown on I-85, headed to Charlotte.I went from Charlotte up to Greensboro and loaded one of these big cylinder things going to a nuclear power plant in Pottstown, Pa.It was almost 80 degrees in Greensboro, I was sweating in a T shirt tarping the load. I don't know why it had to be tarped, it was a stainless steel canister to hold used fuel rods. Anyway, when I got to Pottstown that night it was 30 degrees and the wind was blowing so hard that it felt like there was a gorilla on each side of the cab rocking it back and forth.Saw some geese the next morning.Cooling towers-Then I went to Wellsville, Pa. and loaded aluminum logs going to Prince George, Va. Unloaded them that evening and went home.Sundown on Long Island Road, near Gladys, Va.Old iron bridge at Eagle Rock, Va.I saw this Ranger stepside pickup like mine with a house on the back going up I-79. Guess i'll build a house on mine now...I got to Coconut Lake Pa. that night and parked in the K-Mart parking lot. Next morning it was 34 degrees and snowing...snowing.I was originally supposed to go to Greenville, Pa. and get another load of roll-off bodies, but we had a truck sitting at rt.22 and 30 with a load of steel that was broke down. A bearing had locked up on one of the trailer axles, so the plan was to get this big wrecker to put the coils on my trailer and chain the trailer axles up on his trailer so he could get it back to the shop.The plan worked great, except now I have to deliver the coils in N.C. Monday morning.The owner of the wrecker company- she supervised the whole operation. 6 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Vladislav Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Looks like a good week at all.Hair cut is much more important thing than we use to think sometimes.Right now I'm in a balance to cut my beard short again or keep it growing to be plaited More superviser pictures please!

Green Dash Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hope you're feeling better. I cut my hair every 2 weeks. I'm always sick but it's worth it to not have to carry a comb.I dodged the snow bullet by running the Ohio Turnpike Thursday night. Go figger.I'd like to deliver a load for your driver in the KW if she ever breaks down, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.Thanks for sharing your POTW!

RedBullDog Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It looks like the wrecker worked well for the load swap, but it probably wasn't cheap. I need to borrow your giant woman to clean windshield and windows in the mornings.

I need to borrow your giant woman to clean windshield and windows in the mornings. They're pretty big, it's harder to do the smaller I make them- I figure everybody wants to see a little more detail anyway.Yeah, I thought it would have been a lot cheaper to fix the bearing, even if they had to call the "axle doctor", I think they're called? They come out with a truck with all the tools, cut the spindle off, weld a new one on, and guarantee it to be straight and true and that the seal will hold.I mentioned this to the other driver, because those rotator wrecker trucks don't work cheap. Apparently they had already checked into it because he said there was only one place in the area that did it and it would be a couple of days until they could get to it.

other dog Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Then on the way home I stopped at the Winfall rest area. I heard a thumping noise coming from the trunk of this car, then noticed this girl in the trunk with duct tape over her mouth and hands. I think she was trying to tell me something, but I have no idea what. I'd never seen a license plate like that so I figured the car was probably from up north somewhere, so I just got back in my pickup and came home.
