awesome!

I'm sorry for your loss, like cruiseliner64 said they are indeed family.

Since we didn't have any pictures taken at our wedding, my wife wanted to have some buffessional type pictures taken of us. We went to this farm just a couple of miles from here and had some taken Sunday afternoon. The pictures came out good, but I'm a bit peed off- I don't understand why she cropped me out of the pictures and put this old fat guy in them- all of them! I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind when it's time to pay her for them! That doesn't make any sense, i'm just gonna- oh,..wait a second...I figured it out...never mind.

Oh well...We always said that some day we were going to drive down to Bill's Truck Stop and meet up with Joey Mack for lunch. But now I'm not so sure, might have to do Burger King or something. We were talking with the guys with that F model Mack in Colfax a few weeks ago and somehow the subject of Bill's came up. I think I was telling them how I lost my Bill's cap. And they said that since the original owner passed away it's under new ownership now and it's altogether different. I don't think they went the way of most truck stops and just have a fast food restaurant or roller grill items, but they said it's just not the same, and not nearly as good. I was reading some reviews and some said it was great, some said it was horrible. And I'm not sure, but I feel like a lot of the good reviews came from close family members, because they had names like Rahejakimanistasiholko Stucvijanirackostopolus. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I don't think I'll be making a three hour drive to see for myself. I think I'd go for some good North Carolina barbecue instead.

Happy birthday 🎂

Same old story in Va.- Northern Va, the tidewater area, and Richmond, Roanoke and a few other cities control the entire state. Especially northern VA, and most of them came here from somewhere else and work in D.C.

Looks like big Mike's doing a package check 🤣

Pretty much the same thing 🤣

I just got around to opening the letter. I was a bit disappointed to discover that it was actually a form letter instead of a letter to me personally. He's trying to raise money for the mid term elections next year, because he said there's too many pigs at the trough in Washington. He does have a way with words! 🤣

Hey neat, I got a letter from John Kennedy. I'm happy that he doesn't think I'm stupid, if he did he wouldn't have sent me this nice letter 🤣

You can use any of my pictures you want Brocky. All those pictures are still on my camera, full size, uncropped. Let me know if you want me to send them to you via e-mail, any or all. These are all the pictures I took, and they're all on the computer just like the Flickr pictures, cropped and resized, but won't have the Flickr watermark on them. I usually just smallerize them down so they fit my computer monitor.

I was drinking this, but then one day I just decided that I should switch to Jim Beam. No particular reason.

Here's the rest of the pictures that I took at the Colfax show. Nice turnout, and beautiful weather too.

That's the truth!

Wow, a V12 Detroit powered R model!

Oh, and speaking of YouTube, I watched a really good one again yesterday, it was on the related videos of another one I watched. The "steepest road in Canada" part caught my attention. It was about the "Bella Coola Hill", rt. 20 out of Bella Coola, in British Columbia. I love this stuff, the road- well, the hill- is 12 miles and a 15% grade, with parts of it at 18%. And it's a dirt road! I was wondering if trucks were even allowed on it, and yes they are. Another video of it showed a couple of tankers coming down and they were spraying a water and calcium chloride mixture to keep dust down. The guy on the motorcycle that was making the video said he preferred the dust, because it was very slick after they sprayed it. This is not the one with the trucks...I don't think. It might be, but there's other shorter videos of it so it's not too hard to find.

Jim Beam is my usual too. A lot of real bourbon drinkers don't like the flavored stuff, but I really like the Jim Beam Red Stag, because it's such a good mixer. When Zina goes to Lynchburg to Sam's, Kohl's, Ross, Target, Western Auto, Sears, Piggly Wiggly and JC Penney I sit in the car with the dogs and a huge "Vicki drink" with Red Stag.

Funny thing, not funny "ha-ha" but funny weird, as popular as Jack Daniels is I've never tasted it. Makes me want to go get a bottle of it now. That's why I don't get Crown Royal too often, it's way too smooth and goes down way too easy, then the next thing you know you don't know nuthin'.

OK, we'll all be there.

Whatever, what about the prime rib?

Oh

Hmmm, Black Bush- interesting 🤔
