Yes it is, they referred to "Mt. Pilot" often, and Mt. Airy, N.C. is Andy Griffith's home town, which is what they based Mayberry on.

Great to hear from you Rob, merry Christmas to you and yours! And how about this Christmas classic, I'm a little late with it this year.

Thank you, thank you very much!

I know what you're saying, here's a picture I took several years ago-

I like the box on that Mac trailer, looks way sturdier that the box that's on the Fontaine trailer I pull now. The box on the Fontaine is the second one that's been on it, and both doors are already cracked on it, because they're so flimsy to start with.

I loaded some zinc in Cincinnati, going to the galvanizer in Petersburg, Va. Had to be tarped. I was away last weekend, in N.C. I drove up Pilot Mountain, a place i'd never been, just seen it from rt. 52. I t was nice, you could see Winston Salem from up there. You could see Pilot Mountain from Winston Salem too. I even saw a girl in a car. Somewhere in N.C. Got a new trailer, but I haven't pulled it yet. I guess i'm ready for Christmas-

I saw a big yellow thing in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. And more big yellow things hidden under that white plastic. A big Mack truck. A cat getting a beer. I saw snow in Gladys too. Another big Mack truck. Nice view on rt. 220, between Eagle Rock and Iron Gate. This is just north of Iron Gate- The Peaks of Otter, from Bedford. Big crane in Cincinnati. Big boat too.

I saw that video on some trucking page on facebook, and they said the driver was having a stroke when he was trying to back into the spot. I don't know if that's true or not, but it sure looked like he was having some kind of issue!

Yep, he's kept me awake all night many a night too. Some of the things he talked about were downright scary. I don't even know if he's still on satellite radio, or if he is what channel he's on.

Happy birthday.

Sorry, a little late, but happy birthday!

I just didn't like it though, I had to go back to "carbon".

Well thanks Jim, I didn't know that either.

Not any more, I- I mean they- put a reconditioned diesel particulate filter on the smoker. No sheds have been burned down in over a year- wait, this just in- oh...never mind, short stroke's shed burned down a few weeks ago, he only lives a few miles from here. He had a welder in his shed though, that's what started the fire, he was not smoking a turkey.

Well said!

Well dang, I'm sure sorry to hear that Larry.

Montana is a beautiful place, no question about that!

better hope a tail light bulb doesn't burn out 3 years from now!..just sayin'...

Guess i'm a little late, but happy birthday!

I've seen his pictures on facebook. And just like Ben Jumper, he's always surrounded by a bevy of wimmens. Nothing wrong with that though, not a thing.

Well that's just neat right there, I think it was 6 loads instead of three in the video though, since you appeared to be hauling 2 loads at once!

Who?

That's exactly right. I have read biography's of Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, and Robert E. Lee was a good and honorable man by anyone's standards.

I'm driving a T800 now, and I like it. I like the small cab myself, but i'm just used to it I guess. The previous trucks I drove were a T660, 379 Peterbilt, and a KW W900L, and they all have small cabs. The KW cabs are the same on the T800 and W9. The only thing I would recommend staying away from is the Paccar engine. The T660 I drove had one, and it was the sorriest piece of crap engine i've ever driven. The company had a lot of them, and they stayed in the shop for one thing or another all the time. The one I drove had 400 and something thousand miles on it when Jeff traded it, and it was on it's third turbo. The T800 i'm driving now has an ISX Cummins, over 200,000 miles now, and no issues so far.
