Yep, it's got a 300. Runs great!
-
I'll put a case of Hamm's in the back and drive it on down to Colfax for you if you want it.
-
We were actually thinking about a small utility trailer. I googled them yesterday as a matter of fact, and just like everything else they cost about twice as much as I expected.
-
I just got back from Gladys in it. It runs like a top, just smooth as a sewing machine, and starts immediately too. But we just don't need it.
-
It's not a ratty old rust bucket anymore, since it's for sale it's a "fine classic Ford".
-
I cooked some Friday ribs. Thursday I cooked some fish and fried green tomatoes. They were most delicious.
-
I know the feeling.
-
It's from the land of sky blue water- says so right on the can.
-
Yeah, they sold it in 16 oz. cans over at the store in Gladys- cheapest beer in the store. If you're going to Colfax this fall I'll bring you some.

The photo cutting program that I used to use has expired, I'll renew it again whenever we get good internet here. Firefly is supposed to be coming, "this summer" is what they told us. My son said "when you see a big black cable rolled up and hanging from a power pole, it won't be long then". There's been a big roll of cable hanging from a power pole since we've been here, but no high speed internet yet. We have something from T Mobile now I think 🤔, or maybe it's US Cellular, so Zina can work, but we only get so much data, so I'm afraid to get on my PC much.

Overnite was never a union company either, they always voted against unionizing. And two good friends of mine that I've known since my teens worked for Overnite. One is the one who drove the B model to Roanoke, the other is his first cousin. I've seen where people called them a scab company on Facebook pages before, not for crossing anybody's picket line but because they were never a union company to start with. And I've never heard anybody that ever worked for Overnite have anything but good to say about them because Mr. Cochrane took care of his people, they didn't need to go union.
-
Yeah, that museum has been on my bucket list for a while now.
-
Is that the one that's in the Transportation Museum in Roanoke? A friend of mine drove it up there from Richmond if it is. He worked for Overnite for a long time, mostly in the shop. He was the only one that could even drive the B model, so he took it to Roanoke.
-
Yep, that's a good picture, if there was an Overnite truck in there with them it would be a great picture!
-
JT formula, he's the car guy on here, had the GMC General, said the average retail was $12,250. My car guy here who was going to sell it for me said he was going to put $10,900 on it, and JT said that would be a good price. We were going to put the money towards the Nissan, but we still put 20 down and they gave her 24 for the CR-V, so we did ok. I know I'll take a beating on the F150 but there's no reason to keep it and keep paying for insurance and taxes on it.
-
All gone. That's not my picture, I saw it on Facebook.
-
Thanks Bob. I decided to keep my car. I washed it and blackened the tires and said "that's a damn good looking car. I really like that car. I should keep that car". And it makes way more sense than keeping the Ford, when we got finished moving we won't need it anymore because we have a new truck. But it'll be good to have a nice car too, for just running around town. Like I've said, I'd get in it right now and take off to anywhere with confidence. I know I'll never get near as much for the Ford as I've put in it, but there's no sense in keeping it really. That 300 runs really good too, smooth as a clock.
-
...and throw in this girl on a boat in Lake Winfall for good measure.
-
I might not get to drive it myself anymore, I'll just have to drive the old F150 with the new starter. I drove it for a test drive, Zina didn't want to because it's so big. The hood did look longer than a Kenworth hood, even to me. Way bigger looking than her Honda CR-V. So I left the lot driving it home, but I pulled over on 460 at Moore's Country Store and asked her if she wanted to drive the rest of the way, 460 is 4 lane, open highway, and she said yes. Then we found a $3,000 mistake they had made and we went right back to Lynchburg to get that straight, $3,000 is $3,000, and she drove it up there and back.
-
Apparently it doesn't work here anymore either, it was the dealership page with that particular truck on it, had lots of pictures. They probably took it down because they sold it. Anyway, it looks like this- I left that plastic bowl in the yard, Zina threw it off the front porch at a squirrel 🤣
-
Yeah, I don't even know what it's got or how to work anything. I'll read the manual a bit and see what I can learn. The owners manual has never even been opened, still wrapped in plastic. The one that came with Zina's Honda was over 600 pages! I asked the salesman why it was even traded in the first place with so few miles, and he said the guy got a new one every year.

I must post this girl on a bike that I saw in front of Costco in Winfall today, just to counteract that. Maybe I should even add this girl I saw testing mattresses in the Winfall furniture store.
-
Well, we drove this truck home. Neither of us had ever spent that much for a vehicle before, but it has a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty plus the lifetime engine and transmission warranty. And it's a really nice truck too, might as well say new, a 2022 with only 14,000 miles on it.
-
Looked at this one, I drove it around. Used, but only 14,000 miles. I really liked it.
