Popular Post other dog Posted December 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2018 I picked up a new hat at the Walmart store I saw some wimmens in Winfall. An unsecured- as far as i'm concerned anyway- load of coils in Lynchburg. And a big Mack truck parked just up the road from here. 7 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

eddeere Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Enjoyed the pictures . I agree I do not think the coils meet the required standards for hauling coils . Maybe they are light weight.

It might be legal, I don't know, but common sense tells me to use chains and corner protectors on mine. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Today, we mourn the passing of an old friend by the name of Common Sense. Common Sense lived a long life, but died from heart failure early on election day 2016.. No one really knows how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He selflessly devoted his life to service in schools; hospitals, homes, factories and offices, helping folks get jobs done without fanfare and foolishness. For decades, petty rules, silly laws and frivolous lawsuits held no power over Common Sense. He was credited with cultivating such valued lessons as to know when to come in from rain, the early bird gets the worm and life isn't always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn), reliable parenting strategies (the adults are in charge, not the kids), and it's okay to come in second. A veteran of the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, and the Technological Revolution, Common Sense survived cultural and educational trends including feminism, body piercing, whole language and new math. But his health declined when he became infected with the "if-it-only-helps-one-person-it's-worth-it" virus. In recent decades, his waning strength proved no match for the ravages of overbearing federal legislation. He watched in pain as good people became ruled by self-seeking lawyers and enlightened auditors. His health rapidly deteriorated when schools endlessly implemented zero tolerance policies; when reports were heard of six year old boys charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; when a teen was suspended for taking a swig of mouthwash after lunch; when a teacher was fired for reprimanding an unruly student. It declined even further when schools had to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student but couldn't inform the parent when a female student is pregnant or wants an abortion. Finally, Common Sense lost his will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, criminals received better treatment than victims, and federal judges stuck their noses in everything from Boy Scouts to professional sports. As the end neared, Common Sense drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed of developments, regarding questionable regulations for asbestos, low-flow toilets, smart guns, the nurturing of Prohibition Laws and mandatory air bags. Finally, when told that the homeowners association restricted flags to those who supported non patriotic views, he breathed his last. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son Reason. His three stepbrothers survive him: Rights, Tolerance and Whiner. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. 10 2 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55110-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-411797 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 So many times I've seen guys come into our local steel mill and load coils without even having coil bunks on the deck. And I'm talking bigger coils than those. Luckily there is always a steel mill employee that catches them and makes them off load. Always enjoy your pics of the week Other Dog. Always entertaining, LOL. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55110-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-411818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Let me avoid participation in the common sence discussion with simple apologizes to R-model trailer and Winfall sitizens instead. Oh, and the hat for sure. Thanks for the pictures Tom.

Popular Post other dog Posted December 25, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2018 I rode down to Cumberland today to see my mother and other family members. I took a picture of a picture she has- it's an aerial view of the house, and it's where I grew up.My grandfather lived across the field you can see in the right side of this picture, and I was born in the house there- But the best thing is that you can see my Dad sitting in a chair in the building behind the house in the aerial photo. It had a shed over the front part, the rest was closed in, it had a loft too- and he built that building himself. When the state replaced the wooden flooring in the bridge over the Appomattox river near there, they gave him the old flooring and he used it to build a good part of that building.I can also remember when him and my grandfather built the two red buildings across the field. I wore these boots today- they're Texas brand boots that I bought at the old 76 Truckstop in Elkton, Md. in the early 80's. Pretty sure they were $39.95. Same boots i'm wearing in this picture, at the same house that's in the aerial photo- the little girl behind me is now married and has three kids! Oh, I also saw a big Mack truck on the way there. . 7 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
