Popular Post other dog Posted January 19 Popular Post Share Posted January 19 Well, we sold our place over in Gladys, the closing was yesterday. A woman from Pa. bought it, and we took her son the keys yesterday. He was renting some place down near Martinsville, and he talked like his rent was high and the place was a dump, and he drove all the way to Gretna to work, an hour and a half each way. Now he can drive to Gretna in about a half hour, maybe less. I liked it there, I lived there from 2005 until last spring and I thought it would be the last place I lived, but things change. And I like it better here. I don't know Bob Spooner personally, but I've certainly heard of him for years, and seen articles about his truck. He drove the same Peterbilt since the 60s, when he bought it new. It's a 1961 and it's been through several engines and transmissions I think, but it's the same truck. He was in an accident in his pickup back around Christmas and is still in the hospital. They have a "go fund me" account set up, and it's been all over Facebook, but I can't believe they've only gotten a little over $12,000 so far. Times are tough I guess. https://www.gofundme.com/f/bob-ramona-spooners-medical-other-expenses?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer 5 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted January 28 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 28 This picture was on my Facebook memories today. I always liked that view of the Peaks of Otter from this spot in Bedford, Va, especially when there's snow on them. Even got Bob in the picture, heading east on 460. I always cropped the hood out of the road shot pictures, because of the safety man. He didn't want people posting any pictures that looked like it was taken while driving, because if anything happened a croo- I mean "shifty" lawyer would try to use it against you. Now I wish I hadn't, it takes something from the picture. And if I had seen it as dangerous I wouldn't have taken a picture of anything, but I didn't see it as any more dangerous than changing the radio station, or rolling the window down, or taking a bite of my scrapple, sardine, and salami sub that was in the passenger seat. 5 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post Mark T Posted January 28 Popular Post Share Posted January 28 Good thinking OD. You needed to be more safety minded like those guys with the fringy things hung around the windows all around the cab, and driving with your left leg on the dash proudly displaying your shorts and Crocks. Oh....and playing Candy Crush or something while all that's going on. (you sure that's Bob lol) 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73768-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-545728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
