These were in the photos, the only tomahawk steak I ever cooked. I'd always wanted to, but they were so expensive I just couldn't see it. Then Zina ran across this one on sale at Sam's. Looked "not too bad". Probably didn't taste too bad either, I really don't remember.

Another picture that I had saved. Me, Bob, and Jumper and Son eating dinner in Delmont, Pa.

Well, well, well- I was deleting some pictures off my phone again, and ran across this Christmas classic. It features our good friends Rob and Vision386.

I drove 2, the first truck I drove was a 74 Transtar with a 290 Cummins and 13 speed. Then I drove a 78 Astro with a 290, 9 speed. When I started driving for H.H. Moore Jr. my first truck there was a 74 Transtar with a VT903 with a 13 direct. Here I am at the old Ponderosa Truck Stop at the bottom of North Mountain with a load of wood chips, going to the Westvaco paper mill in Covington, VA. That's the last Transtar I drove, drove a couple of F models after this truck, then 3 K100's, then H.H. went to conventionals.

Yeah, I'm probably in the minority here but I've had prime rib a couple of times and I just wasn't a big fan of it. I'd much rather have a medium cooked ribeye steak. I like it pink in the middle, but that's it- just a little pink. If it's cold and red it's gotta go back in the fire!

Yessir, that's how I like it. Never tried that blue cheese thing at the end though.

Yeah, I'm talking about Randy, he usually smokes a prime rib roast for Christmas, but apparently he's shunning us.

Still waitin' on the prime rib smoker expert to get back to me...

Happy birthday

Next year? Maybe Macungie in June?

Yeah, what Bob said- we usually get more snow and cold around here in January, February and March I'd say than any other months. Of course, I'm not a meaty urologist and don't keep records. But we've already had 2 significant snow storms this year, before Christmas. The high today was 36 but it's supposed to be 49 tomorrow. We could have went to another Christmas Parade, the one we took the big green International that runs now to in Cumberland last year, but I didn't register because the forecast last week said it was going to barely get above freezing. Last year's parade picture-

Took this through the window with the phone just now.

We didn't get as much this time. We had about 4 or 5 inches last week but the next day it was in the 40's so a lot of it melted. This time it snowed all day yesterday but we only got about 3". But it was about 15 degrees this morning, calling for a high today of 32, so it'll be around a while. Miss the old F150 now, haven't seen a snow plow yet. I just don't have a lot of confidence in that Nissan, I knew that Ford would go. The Nissan might be fine, but it's got straight tread tires on it, and the last time we had it in 4wd we had a hard time getting it back out of 4wd. Roads are fine when you get to 460 anyway, the problem part would be getting from here up to the stop sign at Snapps Mill rd, it's uphill all the way. And all the way back. Oh...I just saw on TV that we had 6" in Appomattox. I was just going by what was on the back porch railing, but a lot of it blew off I'm sure because it was the light, powdery type snow.

He's got the right idea-

Here we go again.

...did somebody mention big Mike?
