other dog

Caught this Superliner blowing smoke in N.C. this morning.

And a nice looking Peterbilt in Ohio Monday.

A better view of the B-models in Auburn,Al.

And the change bucket's almost full again-and I'm gonna send it north again.

I've always named my trucks. "Fred" is my IH R-190 crane truck. "Oscar" was my IH S-160. "Hannibal" was my first rollback truck. "Mutt" was my first Mack carrier. "Herbie" was the M43 tank retriever, (used for righting rollovers). "The 51" is Momma's A-40H, "Snuff", (short nosed ugly fucker) is the B-67ST, "Puss" is the 78 RL755LST, (Cat engine). "Riff Raff" is the 74 RL797LST, and "Tugger" is the R612ST. The yellow B61 is just "Yella Dog" and the other B61 is "Agitation". Finally, the 1977 R795. This truck I plan to call "Instigator", or "Half Breed" due to the Detroit engine and Fuller transmission. My mowing tractor's name is "Hercules", the Allis-Chalmers mower is "Alice", the 57 B61 is "Snoopy" as it

is white with black fenders. My "trusty, yet crusty" Dodge even has a name, simply, "The Black".

I really don't have any problems remembering the names. Seems I have to justify my existence around here often and the trucks are spoken of/about regularly in one form or another.

Rob

you should name one "Big Mama". Sags on the right?..hmmmmm...could have been Laurel and Hardy's old truck. This should go away when you get in it. And lastly, a 6 cylinder Mack isn't really that loud with a straight pipe-not the turbocharged ones anyway.

I put Jo's number in just to check it out...looks like she's got some splainin to do.

I assume you prefer Tuna that originally lived in the water and not made famous by journalism? I never liked the smell myself.

Rob

oh, absolutely-like Charlie the tuna.

Don't lick the swatch after comparing the reading.

Rob

Tuna is my favorite sammich at Subway.

There's something very fishy about this story.

yep,appears so.

sorry to hear you have to quit the road.

I hope things work out for you and family

Amen to that.

Jo seems to think she should get some kind of medal or something because she has to live with me all the time...I, on the other hand,think it's great entertainment,eh?

Thas right, and it wouldnt have been possible without "spot" and his best friend,the bunny "Mr. Floppy", keeping guard for wild rhinos while I mechaniched, hes da meanest, scrappiest, most do-anything, attack anything dog that has ever been,,,,he kilt a good sized rhino yesterday,it's in the freezer now. I woulda had this lion he kilt in tha' freezer too,but he'd already eaten this much of it when I found it,,,randy

He better NOT be laying on the couch!!!

what Dozer has to do on his day off...

Damn, I forgot about that engine and I'm sure it's in the way where it is stored. I need to work this weekend to finish up with contractors on the radar facility, but need to start buring off vacation time before the end of the year and maybe I can get over that way.

Call me with your working hours so we can plan. I'll have a lot of time due me within the next couple of weeks. We are not going on vacation this year and I'm over 150 "use or lose" vacation hours already that need expended or donated to someone sick/deserving of them.

Rob

I'll take 'em!..when do I start?

Thanks Rhasler, Spot has a lil jack russell, buncha something else, mostly badass, speaks english, barks spanish, likes beer and tater chips and can chew the bark off a hickory tree, and no kidding, the whole time I worked on tractor, just kept circling daring something to sneak up,,(absolutely hates hogs),,randy

So how come Buddy only gets the tip of his tail pictured while Spot gets a full face picture?

By the way, here's what Rowdy's dog Dozer does when Rowdy gives him a day off.

You're a lucky man Mr. P.

That's one cool ass dog, kinda reminds me of "Nipper" the RCA dog. Take care of him, we don't want any Old Yeller/Where the Red Fern Grows type of stories!

Where the Red Fern Grows?...geez...why'd you have to bring up the saddest movie ever? I've been tryin' to forget it for years. Great movie though,eh?

I'm gonna order the "natural" model instead of the ported,polished,and waxed version.

Maybe the one, but the grenades...I don't know. The flatbed load of grenades was some of OD's finest work and I'd hate to offend someone of his stature.

No offense would be taken-I'll fix any picture any way you want,to the best of my ability. I'd do the same for anybody,but especially a fellow Peterbilt driver.

Tuna?????

"Only two things smell like fish-and one of them's mackerel"...Redd Foxx

The rest of the story...

Then Melissa Lou made the call...

Nice unit!

OK, i'll break it all down to it's simplest form for you "slower" guys-

push brake button in,let out clutch,hammer down.

.

I too had noticed,but just assumed you were shunning everyone,like Paul Van Scott.You should never assume anything they say.

That reminds me,almost forgot about this-

The "Trucks With 2 Sticks" video here is great, lots of neat old trucks in it. And they break down the shifting part to it's simplest form.

.

I can say this cause I'm a few hundred miles away.

HEY JO, wake up. I'm hungry. Come and make me brefix. I want biscuits and gravy woman

Jo made me scrambled eggs with peppers,onions,and mushrooms, sausage, fried potatoes, and toast this morning

Up so early? sounds like a good time to make a big 'ol pot of chili. WITH BEANS

I got some beef stew in the crock pot now. Gonna make an apple pie later. Also made coffee cake already

Damn, i hate this time change crap

I made beast stew last week too.
