other dog

exactly!

What a jackass, abusing equipment like that!

The problem is northern Va. and the Tidewater area. That's where the majority of the population is and those areas pretty much control the whole state.

Happy birthday!

First truck I drove was a 4070A Transtar too, 1974. 290 Cummins with a 13 speed.

We used to haul lumber from Drakes Branch, Va. up to Cortland, N.Y. It was a good run, I liked it but haven't been there for years.

Fish, I saw fish too- catfish. The menu at a little food place at the Daytona Speedway. The prices look like they can be changed easily, they probably jack these already sky-high prices up through the roof during race week. The concession stands in the grandstands are probably even more expensiver.

It was headed south. I took the picture in S.C. when traffic was backed up because of an accident. Couldn't get a very good picture, but it was behind a white 9400 International, didn't notice the name.

If you go to Daytona to the race, or bike week, or just to visit, the Museum of arts and Sciences is not far from the speedway, and very easy to find, because I painted a red stripe in the street for you when I was there. Just follow the red line from the speedway down to S. Nova, turn right, the museum is down a little ways on the right. They have a planetarium, we didn't see that, but they have a lot of Coca Cola stuff, train stuff, the sugar mill and cigar stuff from Cuba, and much more. There might be birds near there too.

I thought you would, and birds everywhere do too, knowing that they're equally represented along with the reptiles and mammals.

I should have posted a bird- here's a bird.

It really was, I took the pictures with my phone, but it was very detailed.

Passed through Drakes Branch the other day, the rusty B-61 sleeper is still sitting there. I went to a museum in Fl. Two of them actually. I didn't bother to take my camera in because I wasn't expecting to see anything interesting. I was mistaken- I saw an R model in this Coca Cola display- But the neatest thing was this scale model of an actual sugar mill in Cuba. I saw an R model dump truck on a trailer on 95 too. We went to Daytona, this gives you an idea of just how steep the banking is on the track- I saw a huge reptile at the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive- And a small reptile at a park in Orlando. I saw a prairie dog. This Montgomery truck was burning on I-81 in Tn.a couple of weeks ago. You could see the smoke for miles before you got there. The driver had dropped the trailer and gotten out from under it before he had to bail out, it was loaded with plywood. This Ford was sitting where I delivered a load of pipe in Pa. Had to take the stacks off to get through a 12' 3" underpass to get there. I didn't put them back on, I strapped them on the trailer and let them do it at the shop. I saw this truck pull in to the N.B. Handy Co. in Lynchburg with a load of coils. I was astonished when he pulled his tarp off, even though it was a CRST truck. The front coil was well secured, the rest pretty much not at all. Looks like they're on the floor too, your coils should not be touching the floor. ...and here's the usual girl in a car, from the interweb- for no good reason.

Sorry for your difficulties Rowdy, but it'll get better. And I've wished over and over that i'd kept my 4 cyl. 5 spd. Ranger, one of- if not THE- best vehicles i've ever had. I let it go and kept the POS Dodge just because the Dodge was 4wd.

I was in Florida on Christmas and some folks went all out decorating there too.
