other dog

I delivered there, actually at Neville Island, but the address is Pittsburgh. Oddly enough, we used to load plastic pipe- uhhh, pipes- in Binghamton, N.Y. and take it to Colfax, N.C. I have also loaded those coiled plastic pipes in Knoxville, it was yellow, i'd guarantee it was at the same place!

I got there Friday to surprise everybody, and the surprise was on me- I couldn't find anybody to surprise!

(...any similarity to any real people is entirely coincidental and unintended, this picture is strictly for entertainment purposes only and not intended to be taken as real in any way...)

Naw, those dinosaurs have been there as long as I can remember. I'm with you with the GMCs, I told Vinny when we were talking that the big tall sleeper on that red cannonball kind of ruined it for me because it wasn't original, but to each his own. I liked the blue Tackaberry one better, it looked like it would look new on a dealer's lot, and the old green one- that one looked like it would look when it was still working.

I tried to burn him a disc of the Macungie pictures, but every time I tried it said "Windows can not read this disc, please insert a readable disc into the disc tray". And they're the DVD+R discs that i've always used for pictures, and now all of a sudden the computer doesn't recognize them?..stupid computers (Freightrain,2006). I e-mailed him a link to the flickr pictures anyway.

I saw 1958FWD and Large. And I saw saw this...I have no explanation. I saw several big Mack trucks at Metals USA in Ambridge, Pa. Bulldog on a Dodge. Another girl in another car at another red light. A boat- it used to float around in this little pond, but it hit an iceberg and sank. All the passengers and crew escaped without harm. And check this monster out- it was in the road on 699 just a little ways from here. We were almost home from Macungie when we saw it in the road. I don't know what's going on with turtles, but i've seen lots of them in the road this year- not the usual terrapins, I mean big snapping turtles. I saw three in one day that had been hit in the road a few weeks ago. After the photo shoot I picked this one up by the tail and put it in the field where it was headed to in the first place...hope the old fella made it, he was a big one.

And now...the rest of the story! The real pictures of the week- I hired a painter to paint my picnic table. She put a whole gallon of paint on one picnic table, but she did a great job. I just wish she had waited for it to dry before she sat down. I saw another load of onions. Nice looking onions! Of course I saw a girl in a car- at a red light. I saw a girl by a car in a parking lot. I saw dinosaurs too- Another girl in another car- A moth.

This was the big attraction in both of those GMCs-

I was walking over there to take some pictures of this Cannonball GMC when I spotted Vinny walking towards me! Nice to meet him, him and Pop were both real nice. And there's Jumper and son standing there- I took this picture on Friday and we never saw each other. I only realized they were there when I was looking at the pictures after I got home.

First time for me, and I think Doug Maney was right when he called it "the greatest antique truck show on earth!"

I liked this!

I'm not doing too good with pictures lately. I'm seeing more wimmens, but not as much truck related activities to photograph. Like this wimmens coming to work in Pittsburgh the other day- That's where I saw this bird- I saw this beauty walking the dog at the service plaza- That's where I saw this load of onions, which also looked pretty good to me! But I also saw a girl in a car. Looks like they're stripping the paint off the giant peach - I saw this load of steel- ....and I saw another girl in another car. And here's a girl in a car from the interweb-

Only took me 45 minutes to get around this one...'course she was over on the service road running parallel to the interstate.

I got behind these biker gals the other day, took me almost 2 hours to get past them.

Yep, I didn't remember that many, but it was a lot- friends, family, work- some I still remember from when I was a kid, and now I have to think a second to remember my own.

I like Chrome.

Yes they do! I had a peddle farm tractor myself.

Well, here's that brisket I bought. I wanted to trim the fat cap down to about a quarter of an inch, and by the time I did there was hardly anything left. I was intending to cook it whole, but after all the trimming I went ahead and separated the two pieces. I wasn't expecting much from it... I put some worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper on it and let in marinate over night though- ...and hung it in that new barrel smoker the next morning- ...and it turned out to be the best brisket i've ever cooked, that smoker worked great- I was afraid the bottom of the ribs would burn, but they didn't and they turned out great too! I saw a girl in a car too. A load of rusty plate that they wanted me to tarp- the broker did that is, but I didn't. It was stored outside where I loaded, and they put it outside where I delivered. And here is A different girl in a different car- I delivered lumber to this place in Huddleston, Va. Got behind this woman on a bicycle on rt. 24 when I left- I saw another girl in another car somewhere along the line- Ad from the 70's- I'm not going to be greedy at all- i'm gonna get in the time machine and go get me a Duster, Roadrunner, and the GTX. Then i'll retire. Even though you could retire on the Superbird alone if you had one of those.

Saw this one in a Truck Roundup magazine.
