He's testing out local barbeque and bought some bottles of sauce to bring home and conduct scientific testing with. He also promises lots of women-in-car I mean scenic landscape pictures. He did get a return load lined up already- Albequerque to Hagerstown Md. I've only seen a few wimmins in cars, they've all been going too fast to get a picture. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 I sampled this BBQ sauce and bought a couple of bottles. It was good, but nothing spectacular. Because there are so many different brands of barbecue sauce now- they're all pretty much the same, except for some slight differences. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 I took a lot of pictures, but unfortunately my camera says "battery exhausted". So, I won't be able to take any more. I used it up when I set it on "burst" when I was passing by the truck bone yard in Moriarty that Brocky was talking about. I just held the button down all the way by there. Here's a few crappy pictures that I took with my phone- it's a great phone, not so much as a camera. It's an old Motorola flip phone. Entering New Mexico- Sun coming up this morning- Something or other- I unloaded yesterday morning in Bernalillo and went about 20 miles south to pick up the load going to Hagerstown. I was in position to get loaded and they said the load was cancelled- Ain't this a bitch! So I pulled out in the street and sat there about 5 1/2 hours until they found another load- loading right there at the same place. This one is going to Columbus, so that will put me right over close to Sharon or Pittsburgh so I can get a load of coils Thursday or Friday and get back to Lynchburg. I'm someplace in Missouri now- I only got to Tucumcari last night, but I covered some ground today, about 740 miles. I'm in St. Robert,Missouri, that's where i'm is. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 740 miles?! That's 12 hours in my 63mph truck! That makes me want to cry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the speed limit is 75 in New Mexico and Texas, and on the turnpike in Oklahoma, so I set my cruise control on 77. I set in on 73 the rest of the way, so yeah, you can definitely cover some ground out here! 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

66dc75 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Always wanted to go to the Big Texan. My kid went for a roadtrip from Boston to Phoenix with his friend and texted me a photo of his steak at the Big Texan. Rotten kid.........

I've passed by before but never stopped, but this time I was gonna do it. I made it to the 66 mile marker in Tn. Friday night, and Amarillo looked doable on the map, but the seam in the atlas must have thrown off my eye-balling calculations. I ran 731 miles Saturday and was still an hour away. I could have gotten there Monday night, but it would have been about 9:30 pm and I was hot and tired and needed a shower so I just stopped in Tucumcari. Went to a Quality Inn there and there was no restaurant close by. I ended up calling Pizza Hut delivery, got a thin medium pizza and a bottle of water-$21 and some change! Ain't this a bitch again!.. way out here and instead of getting a nice steak for that kind of money, I get a Pizza Hut pizza like you can get anywhere.

When it comes to Pizza Hut I'd rather eat the box it came in than the pizza. Sorry to hear of your unfortunate dinner event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Looks like he's hungry for steak instead of the other. I guess for some it is easy to get the other but not steak. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A medium thin crust Pizza Hut pizza- you can get a nice steak for that kind of money, but they kind of had me in a tight spot. I didn't even ask how much it was when I ordered it, I was expecting it to be expensive- like about $10! 4 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

BillyT Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 OD,find a load yet? Eastbound flatbed freight outta' the southwest tends to be cheap! Sometimes better to load part way back and do it again!...or grab a partial to get you to the nearest major city, sitting costs money! Good luck!

BillyT Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 OD,you lucked out with the Columbus! I've been past the "Big Texan" a few times, never stopped, the Big steak as I recall used to cost about 40 bucks if you couldn't finish it in time the main problem is you have to eat the"fixens" potatoes salad etc! Do they still have billboards advertising "The Thing" was a tourist attraction in New Mexico, they had signs on every major highway heading toward it's location! Used to be 5 bucks to look at it!.A couple of drivers told me it was a monster looking fossil, obviously man made! Pretty good marketing scheme though! You see enough signs, your curiosity is aroused, I'm just too stubborn and cheap to pay 5bucks to look at some b.s. attraction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I loaded in Albuquerque going to Columbus, Oh, then out of Follansbee, W.V. right back to Madison Heights, Va. Madison Heights is right across the James River from Lynchburg, and it's also the crime capital of central Va.-It might be the crime capital of the world, I don't know. The load going out paid good, It was over $3600 to the truck, but the load to Columbus did not pay all that good- a little over $1600 to the truck, and it was 1500 miles.
