Popular Post other dog Posted July 18, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2015 Saw a wasp in here this morning flying around the light over the stove. I didn't bother with it, then I went to make another cup of coffee and saw a couple more. Then I got stung twice, on the hand and on the back of my arm- and it was on like donkey kong then (Bulldog Man, 2012). I killed about 8 of them...haven't seen any since. In case you were wondering what the inside of a mixer drum looked like, here you go- This one was on the ground at S.B.Cox's in Richmond. The mixer is over in that shed, where they were sandblasting it. Must be fixin' to paint it,eh? Load of 55 and 60 foot beams I took to Indianapolis. The Silver Memorial Bridge, rt.35. It replaced the Silver Bridge, which collapsed in 1967. Looking upstream from the bridge, towards where the old bridge collapsed. I ran through the hardest rain I have ever seen between Jackson and Chillicothe, Ohio. I was only running about 25-30 mph, all the cars were on the shoulder. It had stopped raining by the time I got to Chillicothe, but it must have been the same storm that dumped all this water just west of Chillicothe- Picked up these big rolls of used conveyor belt in Indianapolis and took it to Glade Spring, Va. They should have laid it down- they were 8 feets tall, only about 32'' wide, making them a little top-heavy. 8 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted July 18, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2015 Saw a car on fire in Dayton. 6 minutes to route 35?..that didn't happen! I thought it would be burned to a crisp- that'll buff out pretty easy. This is where I went through the torrential downpour the day before... Saw this big Mack truck coming from the truck stop east of Jackson. Saw this big Mack truck on the way to Moneta to pick up lumber. Power plant in Mt. Storm off in the distance. Keyser, W.V. An elephant- A dog- A girl in a car. A big Mack truck on rt.19 in W.V. Some pedestrians in Pittsburgh. 7 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Thanks for the pictures.. Been across that bridge many times.. before there was any bypass on the WV end..Yep, me too. We used to run 34 to 35, 23 to Columbus, then 33 and 30 to Chicago. That was before they invented the AA Highway. The truck stop at Pliny had the best chef's salad, the Pliny Burgers weren't bad either, and we also stopped at the Schoolhouse or the Highway Diner in Chillicothe a lot. Now I usually take the AA Highway up to Cincinnati and 74 to Indianapolis. I didn't go that way Tuesday because I needed a permit for a 60' load in Ky. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post Gmerrill0516 Posted July 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2015 The silver bridge piece is interesting. That is why (I believe) we build in redundancy for structures like that. It's so no single point of failure causes the entire structure to collapse...The resultant load is managed by the remaining members in the truss...Good stuff. I'm too young to remember that (was about 6 months old at the time) but I've seen some of the old studies on that and other bridge collapses. Interesting stuff.Greg 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40972-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-297076 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I love dogs and elephants.Enjoyed the pictures. I was in that area about four years ago the locals were still talking about the bridge.I used to deliver to the Do-It-Best store in Point Pleasant and once commented on the view of the bridge from yard. I got the whole story in detail as if it had just happened.
