TO BE CONTINUED....

dammit!..I hate when that happens! Just when it was gettin' to the good part! What a cliffhanger!

We played a baseball game in Brownwood, TX one time in 1978. I called the home plate umpire an "idiot" on a strike call and had to sit the balance of the game on the bench. Then the Jeff-Moore Lions kicked their asses 13-1.

Rob

I know Jeff Moore.He owns the truck I drive.Never knew he owned a baseball team though. He was only 16 or 17 years old in '78.

Oh...I guess I don't remember that-the left lane was the Monfort lane. I did find these pictures, and the article was in this issue of "Old Time Trucks".

Sorry for the crappy pictures but my scanner doesn't work.

These are what most everyone remembers,big, FAST KW's......but towards the end monfort did run some WHITE "road commodes" (road commanders) that was pretty near the end of the company as it was once known..........Mark

They called them "The Left Lane Carrier" or "Left Lane Co." or left lane something,I do remember that.

With alot of grumpiness going around, cold weather, snow, SHOPPING.

I offer this to help get in the proper mood, raise your "spirits"

Merry Christmas y'all

Thank you very much indeed. And merry Christmas to you and yours!

Have'nt heard anything from randyp lately,was looking at some google earth satelite photos of daingerfield,TX came across this........may be the reason? i guess that "lagoon work" is as tough as he said it was!

I thought that satelite picture looked familiar. That incident happened about 2 months ago. In case you missed it, here's the story-

Randy and his dog Spot seem to be becoming very popular to goof on around here. (don't miss the new adventures of Spot!) Rob feels like Roadway Express when J.B.Hunt came along and pretty much ended "Big R" jokes. He just hasn't had much to going on to joke about lately,he must be working or something.

I found two Mack fire trucks one is an L model and the other I am not sure. They are both at Essington Av Auto Parts in Southwest Philly sitting outside. I called twice but the guy was very rude and said they are not for sale and hung up. They both say Curt Weldon fire brigade on them.

Sounds typical for Philly.Ran across lots of hateful people there.Must be something in the water- They love Michael Vick right now,but let him have one bad game and they'll be ready to hang him.

'nother warm thought for a cold day...

...reminds me of eating corn on the cob at a picnic on a hot summer day...

I do remember that article,i have a stack of old trucking magazines going back to the sixties,will see if i can find it when i get some time....growing up on the east coast when i did,it was quite unusual to see a conventional out here,one of the very first "fancy" largecars i ever remember seeing was a Monfort KW,long wheelbase (for the time) V8 cat with a 2 stick trans.( i looked in the window lol!)....they were quite the outfit in their day!..............Mark

There was an article in Wheels of Time a while back about Monfort. Or it could have been in Old Time Trucks,a really good antique truck magazine too.

... AAAHHH what fun wintertime truckin' is!......................Mark

Yeah...I don't mind cold,but snow sucks-to the highest level of sucktivity.

I remember that storm,I was afraid i'd get an Orchard Park load that Thursday but ended up going to Warren,Oh and reloading in Cleveland for Lawrenceville,Va.

Needed to see something that reminded me of warmer weather.....hows this?

Amen brother!(Bulldogman)

That's beautiful! Makes me want to get started on mine here-

Page 19, section C, paragraph 2 of the BMT manual "clearly" states "We want pics!" We must have pics, we like em, gotta see em! This is only a light reprimand this time, now go get pics! I wanna see your truck! have a nice day,,,randyp

If you need a picture that bad here's one you can gander in the meantime. I took this last summer, had a model posing beside the truck and some girl was looking in the cab. I let her hang around, she was drinking a Bud light. Another girl I did't know was doing a kegstand on the fender,with a keg of Heinekin. I ran her off. As expensive as it is, I just don't like Heineken.

You fail to get pictures one more time soldier, and your gonna be on the carpet!!! (maybe with Rob behind you,heh) Randyp

"Always have my camera to document the evidence too."

Rob

If I was good at banging grizzly bears, she would be asleep when I finished. and NOT from boredom.

Rob

Now that is some grade A Photo doctoring right there, makes me look kinda sophmoric.

You did good! Kept my sophmoronic story line going too,gave me new ideas. Think i've taken it about as far as I can go though...Clem in a tank, Spot in a fighter plane...yep, pretty much nowhere else to go.

Wish I was that good.

Rob

Forgive me in advance Lord,but this one I can not resist...

"Wish I was that good."- At what, banging a grizzly bear?

Old Bill sent those pictures in an e-mail-without Spot of course.

Spot recently traveled up north to Alberta,Canada.

I've been on there for over a year now.

My daughter Ashley told me I "needed" a Facebook page, and I remember saying "WTF do I need that for".

Then after I got into it, it's fun, found lots of people I knew from the past, & also made a lot of new friends.

same conversation I had with my daughter-in-law.

speaking of Barney Frank, he appears to enjoy working with the TSA.

I'm with you fellers-about had my fill of it last year.
