  1. Don't feel bad people would give me he!! about that when I had my :mack1: . I think it's jealousy myself. My wife's uncle had a garage and wrecker service and would always say that to me. He didn't like it much when I told him I would pull his little low-pro international wrecker a new a$$-hole with my :mack1: . Was peaceful after that though. I like your title, are you an paul in a little friendly competition?
    Paul? Oh no,not at all. In fact I told him he was engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed man,so I'm not getting into anything like that. :D
  2. It's windy here to. Chicken sounds good right about now. Staying busy as usual I see. I know what you mean about big eyes :blink: . I bet your glad to atleast have sunday off, I would be with a work week like that anyway. See ya buddy.
    yeah,she's got some bigguns! she's in a family way too,so her eyes will be getting even more bigger i'm sure :rolleyes:

    :lol: That's freakin' hilarious

    yeah,that's enough being serious-nonsense is way more fun.I have to be serious and work my a$$ off all week."lookin' that dog in the a$$" as my brother-in-law used to say,even though I hadn't driven a Mack in years.

    ...too bad i'm old enough to be her daddy

  4. Cheez Joe,where did you come up with all this crap? You've got the story all wrong. Bernard (uncle Bernie) Rubble was my great uncle,twice removed. Barney Rubble was his great-great grandfather,who lived in the town of Bedrock,a page right out of history..At least that's what my grandfather told me in a bar once.You are at least partially correct though-after Fred Flintstone moved all his family to Flintstone,Maryland (this was after his alleged affair with Betty Rubble,and after Pebbles and Bam-Bam divorced,when tension between the two families was at it's peak. Pebbles did indeed have a small army of kids,but when Bam-Bam found out he was sterile and couldn't have children,that's when the fertilizer hit the windmill,so to speak-it was all downhill for both families from then on) Barney lived the rest of his days in Bedrock,lonely and bitter they say. It was indeed great-great uncle Bernard who finally said "s#@w you guys,i'm going home". That's when he did the finger on the map deal.He actually wanted to move to California,but the map was upside down and he had his eyes closed of course. The rest,as they say,is history.

  5. Don't worry man we care, just I believe your the only one that has a webcam. Are you feeling better since you've quit smoking?
    well...not really,that I can tell anyway,but I don't wake up in the middle of the night coughing,or in the morning with that horrible bad taste in my mouth,so that's certainly all good. So actually,yeah,I guess I do.
  6. I guess if you look at the picture with the 11% grade sign closest to you-over to the right is the side of the mountain it looked like you were gonna run off the side of. Remember I was coming the opposite direction from here-I would have been meeting myself in the picture-and had never been on this road before. I momentarily lost the road,until I looked out of the passenger side window.I was driving the orange and white Mack seen in my gallery. It had a 300 with a 5 speed,no power steering,and of course no engine brake,and loaded with steel coils. That's why I say the picture doesn't show how steeply the road climbed in that curve,I couldn't even see the curve until I was in it,wondering why there hadn't been a sign or something saying "road ends,right here right now...you're S.O.L."

    Sounds scary man. Is that whole road curvy like that? I'd be scared shi!le$$. That's me though. I see what your saying about the picture with the sign closest to you. I could probably imagine how steep that curve is maybe..

    naw,that was the worst curve,but yeah,it's all crooked like that and up and down all the way across.

  8. That does remind you of "thelma & louise". Good 'ol rt. 250. The road that reminds me not to take it if I ever start driving truck. Maybe in a car, but not in a truck. Was that coils you were hauling? I figured they would lay them down on the trailer. Anyway, good pictures and good luck on the oil change it's only 38 degrees here.
    yes,that's the only way they load them because that's the only way they can unload them.they load all three at once-that's actually 3 separate coils-but they unload them one at a time. you have to leave the chain over the front one until they get the other two off,so they don't accidently bump it and knock it over. one driver didn't and when they knocked it over he had to bring it from Roanoke to Concord,stand it back up with the fork lift,then take it back to Roanoke. Those are the coils they make truck frames out of.
  9. Hi Paul, haven't heard from you in a while,i've been out and about. About that Peterbilt, - ...oh...well..,never mind then. :D

    You're going to have to move quick if you want the big Peterbilt.

    Looks like it's going to a new home in Oklahoma. (hopefully!)

    It seems that we have finally met up with a real serious truck buyer.

    Thanks,

    Paul VS

    That's OK-i'm like the old saying "too broke to pay attention"

  10. Cool pictures. Sure wouldn't be a good place to stop and take a nap. Not sure if you ever look at the Natso Trucker News, but they had an article back in the december where the guy that owns the original Movin' On K.W., bought the last season b.j. K.W.. Crazy part was the B.J. truck had been stripped of the motor and trans. and was in very rough shape cool article.
    I picked up one of them little free papers you see all the time at truckstops,and the owners of the movin' on KW were taking it to Pittsburgh power for some work - it originally had a 903 cummins in it,but I think they were changing it to a 444 or something. I'd have kept the 903, I drove one in a '74 co4070A IH and it sounded great.They're probably just going to show it anyway,they wouldn't need 800 horsepower anyway,and for just being cool,a V8 Cummins would be awesome.

    What paper was that in? I'd like to read about that, and I'm with you about the v-8 cummins. I never heard one but always figured they sounded great.

    uhhh...gee,I just don't remember,but they're always at fuel stops and truck stops-oh,"Movin' Out" I believe it is.Like a little newspaper.Don't remember the date,but it was like last fall sometime i'd say. As in "sounds you miss"- a 903 cummins is right up there. Maybe you could get a 555 in a Terra Gator,but a 903 gets you a "huh?..what's that?"

  12. I'm off 'til tomorrow.Neal asked me Friday when I called in empty at Orville,when he gave me my pick-up number for IDS and told me I could unload in Roanoke whenever I got there, if I wanted to talk to Todd then about a load for Sunday.I told him no,i'll just call Monday-i'm not really into working 7 days a week.I've got lots of bills to pay like everybody else,but if all you do is work,what's the point? I mean you've got to be off once in a while. I left Saturday when I went to Wisconsin,got back Friday,and left again Sunday and didn't get in 'til Saturday. This right here is my biggest enjoyment of the week.

  13. oddly enough Joe I once googled "Cannonball"/tv series just to see what I could find on it,because i'd seen cannonball GMC's at Hank's and just barely remembered the tv show. I went through about 20 pages of websites before the tv series was ever mentioned,and when I finally did find it it said no episodes were known to exist today.I thought that was the end of that story,but it wasn't long after that when I saw the robert's hard to find videos "Cannonball" reference on BMT. I ordered 2 DVDs with 2 episodes on each of them,all that was available.

    p.s-what the heck does she know anyway?

  14. I've seen Porky's but it's been years,White Line Fever was on tv not too long ago ( well,within the last year i'd say ) and I remember Movin' On and BJ and the Bear,but I didn't see BJ and the Bear much.I watched 'ol Sonny and Will regularly though. I you like really old trucking, I remember "Cannonball", a series from about 58-60. Two guys in a Cannonball GMC . I saw a reference to a site called "robert's hard to find videos" right here on BMT that still had a couple of episodes of it available so I ordered them. It's pretty neat just seeing that Cannonball Jimmy still trucking.
