Popular Post other dog Posted December 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2015 The truck washer guy did an outstanding job on my truck Sunday morning- I took a load of steel from N.B.Handy in Lynchburg down to N.B.Handy in Greenville. Brought this load of steel back from All Metals in Spartanburg to N.B.Handy in Lynchburg. It was raining, so I had to untarp inside. I thought maybe that would be the only trip I made this week. They had a couple of loads at Handy, a Greensboro and another Greenville, but when I called headquarters Randy (that would be dispatcher Randy, not randyp, Randy Y, or Randy M) said to come to the shop, they had something going on. There was a couple of loads of pipes sitting there so I figured i'd probably get one of them. So I filled the DEF tank, then filled the fuel tank, then called up to the office. They said there was a Greensboro load at N.B.Handy I could get. I said "I know, I just left Handy, and Randy said to come down here!" "oh...you just left Handy" "I'll go to Handy and load the Greensboro then" "OK" So I went back to Lynchburg and loaded the Greensboro load. I had plenty of fuel to get to Greensboro at first, but the load didn't deliver until the next day anyway. Had two stops on, one coil went to one place and I had two stacks of sheets and two coils going to the other stop. It was pouring rain yesterday morning, and I had to pull the tarps off outside. They didn't have a door to back in and they said "it's gonna have to get wet." So the steel was wet and I was soaked by the time I got unloaded. Then I went to some little tiny place out on some little tiny road somewhere south of Winston Salem and picked up a load of those concrete parking lot curb things, the things on the ground that go in front of parking spaces. Had 10 pallets of them and one pallet of the concrete things you put under your gutter- felt like I was grossing 90,000. There were three of these Fords parked in the bushes where I loaded. I didn't go take a close look, because they were in the bushes, it was raining, and I had to be in Lynchburg by 3:00 to get unloaded, but they looked to be in pretty decent shape. Saw these old Glosson trailers there too. Then when I was almost to Boxley's in Lynchburg I got held up by a train for about 10 minutes, but I still made it in time to get unloaded. 7 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted December 25, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2015 On 12/25/2015 at 7:16 AM, hatcity said: ho3-gotta love it Yeah, but that "airbag" girl- holy mackle, she's hot!..and that hot1239 girl... anyhow, I went to Cumberland yesterday, we had a little family get together at Ma's house. Saw my brothers and sister, nieces, nephew's, even Uncle David and Aunt Helen were there. We took a lemon chess pie that I bought at Long Mountain Grocery. They're my favorite- some Amish or Mennonite women make the ones they sell at the store, and they are delicious! I bought two of them, so I could bring one home. I even marked it so I wouldn't mess up when I sliced it- this is a real pie chart. The little tiny piece at the bottom is Jo's...I don't want to be hoggish, so I'll make sure she gets some . Ma looked at me kind of funny when I brought the pie in, and said "why'd you bring that?" I said "well,..uh...just to be bringing it." Turns out she had made me a lemon chess pie because she knew I liked them. This is the one she made- what's left of it that is, somebody already ate most of it. She gave me this brown sugar pie too, which is a good one- a years supply of sugar in one pie. Haven't tasted one of these since I was a kid. And best of all was this book she had that she gave me. I've read it a couple of times, but not for years. It's all about Hurricane Camille and the Nelson County flood in 1969. I was only 13 years old, but I remember it well. We went to Nelson county a few weeks after the flood, and the damage and destruction was just unbelievable. It killed over 120 people in Nelson County,destroyed 193 homes and damaged 70 more, destroyed 135 miles of road and damaged 50 more, and destroyed 23 major bridges and 67 smaller ones, and damaged 36 more. The book means more now because i've traveled so many of those same roads and know people, or their kin people, that are mentioned in the book that I didn't know of in 1969. https://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_virginia/sets/72157631101613776/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_County,_Virginia We took the pie, oysters, black eyed peas, lots of june daisy cheese, and some hats that had "F.L.Moore and Sons Trucking Co." on them- I told them i'd spent a pile of money on them- jackets, and some hog jowl seasoning meat. Everybody liked everything. I gave my sister a choice of a bag of black eyed peas and a package of hog jowl seasoning meat, or a pint of oysters. She picked the black eye peas and seasoning meat. Uncle David took a pint of oysters. He likes them but doesn't buy them because they're too expensive, and everybody got a pack of the cheese. It was great, those are the best gifts, something you know people will like, use,and enjoy, and just being with the family. Gee, Merry Christmas everybody! OK, back to binness... 4 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 No hot sauce for everyone? No, i'm out of the home made stuff, but I threw a couple of bottles of "store bought" in my niece Ashley's bag because her boyfriend Spencer is the biggest fan of the home made sauce. He likes it even more than Bob- he pours it on a slice of bread and eats it. He asked about it though, and said to keep it coming. I told him I hadn't made any yet.

other dog Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Just finished the book- been reading it since Christmas! 429 pages! I learned a lot though- the story I remember hearing about a truck being washed away at Woods Mill is true. It was never seen again, never been found to this day to my knowledge. The book was written only a year after the flood, but I've heard "truck driver stories" that it was a Hennis, Hemingway, or one of the big companies out of North Carolina because they had a truck and driver that disappeared that night that has never been accounted for. It was seen going into the water and getting washed away, but it was unknown at the time who's truck it was.Woods Mill is just north of Lovingston, where rt. 6 turns off of rt.29, shown in the picture above. And also I learned that the rainfall in Nelson county that night was the highest recorded amount of rainfall in that time frame ever...anywhere...ever- somewhere between 27 and 41 inches in 6 hours!And I learned that Ma's lemon chess pie was way better than the store-bought lemon chess pie.
