No, it doesn't, but those coils weighed about 20,000 lbs. each. I had 41,000 lbs. total I think. Not a real heavy load, but a decent load.

I didn't have many pictures last week, so I figured if I took a day off nobody would notice...wrong! I saw a pedestrian 8 miles from Hancock. I've posted pictures of this before, but it's just cool looking to me. Part of the old Weirton Steel plant, Weirton, W.V. The leaves on the maple tree are turning. I took this in the mirror, so the girl wouldn't think I was taking a picture of her fine looking ass instead of the leaves. Chester, W.V. It was a little chilly in Chester last Tuesday morning, a lot of people were blowing smoke out of their stacks. Chester is also home of the big tea pot. I went to Sharon Coatings- that's in Sharon- and I was the only truck there. That's never happened before! Got 2 coils going to Lynchburg, Va.

I don't know if this will work, I saw this on facebook. You can turn the sound off, you won't miss anything, I just like the video. " So let me get this straight.. these ladies are going to a Donald J. Trumprally to protest Trump for saying he treats women as sexual objects ...by taking off their clothes and walking around half naked there? I am honestly asking how this makes sense ?

Yes it was like that for a long time, now it's really getting congested, they got the Lowes and Walmart, the Walmart distribution center, a slew of new apartment buildings or something, and all in the last few years. I can still remember the traffic circle at rt.15 and 250, and that was it. The Crescent restaurant was there, a motel, and a gas station or two, that's all- and no stop lights!

Yeah, that's about the stupidest thing i've ever seen....well, that might be a stretch, but it's definitely strange!

Yeah, I only remember the scales on 60 being open like one time. They had a similar weigh station on 522 just south of Berkley Springs too, never saw those open either. The ones at Mineral Wells were easy to get around then, now they've put a weight or length restriction on the road that goes around them. But even now they seem to be closed most of the time. I took a load to Mullens one time and ran rt. 10 out of Princeton. It was terrible, turns so tight I had to take the whole road to get around them, and I was wishing there was more road there to take. When I finally got to my destination in Mullens they said "you idiot, nobody goes that way- you should have taken the turnpike to Beckley, then rt. 16 south down to here- it's a little farther but it's way quicker and a lot better road." So when I left I took rt. 16 back up to the turnpkie at Beckley. It was a little farther but way quicker and a whole lot better road.

No, I haven't been to Modine for a long time- don't remember exactly, but it's been years.

Fitzgerald Gliders- this is a small part of the units they have sitting there. Load of lumber I picked up in Mt. Pleasant, N.C. I saw this blurry Superliner when I unloaded that lumber in Troy, Va. A big Mack truck at Zion Crossroads. Some units at Zion Crossroads. Blowed the leaves away today- i'm glad that's done with!

That old freezer belonged to my Grand Mother. I got it when she passed away, had it outside in the shed at the old house and on the back porch since i've been here. I have no idea how long she had it, but I've had it about 20 years I guess. It started making a funny- not "ha-ha" funny, but funny weird- noise, so I figured i'd best go get another one. It was just a small one- the replacement I got was a 7.1 cubic feet Frigidaire, the smallest they had, but it's still a good bit bigger than the old GE. It was about full, but when I put all the stuff out of the old one in the new one it still looked empty, so I took the stuff back out and put the frozen gallon jugs of water in the bottom, then put the food back in. They say you should keep a freezer full for best results- I'm not sure who "they" are- but I keep frozen water jugs in mine all the time, when I need the space I just take some out. Anyway, enough about the freezer,eh? I saw a white car at the gas station, near Norcross, Ga. Then I think I might have seen Dolly Parton at a red light. Looks like something's on fire over there-i'll call 1958FWD to see what it is.

I'll be back, got to go to Lowes ASAP and get a freezer. Oh, but this is a left handed dog wearing boots and a leather jacket playing a guitar on the side of a truck...near Norcross, Ga.

I paid $28,500 for this place, its a single wide modular home on about 3/4 acre, but it's a nice place- all I need anyway. Every time I get my tax bill it's appraised at over twice that much, so I don't know whether to be happy that I got a helluva deal, or to be pissed off that i'm getting screwed by the tax man!

Nice trucks, for sure- but it just doesn't seem right that you can buy a house and a few acres of land cheaper than you can buy a pickup truck, and in a lot of places you can do just that.

I've got a lot of pictures from rt. 60, the old weigh station, truck stops, even the VW at the "Mystery Hole" but I can't find them now. Here's some I took over there in a snow storm a couple of years ago- before I got started good I was wishing i'd stayed at Mt. Nemo!

That was before I-64 was finished of course. There'd always be a big line of trucks, because like I said, you could be empty but you'd run up behind a loaded truck, but you could be heavy and dragging and holding everybody else up- until you ran up behind an even slower truck, which you always did. There used to be a big flashing yellow light on top of Armstrong Mountain, it's long gone now though. And they say Smith's Transfer used to keep a push truck up there in winter, so they could push Smith's trucks up the mountain. They would push anybody else that needed it too, I guess so they wouldn't block the road and hold up the Smith's trucks. I knew one driver that got a push up the mountain, he said "I appreciated that, but I really didn't need that shove he gave me starting off the other side!"- True story. There were several truck stops across there, we used to stop at Cedar Grove right much, and Ansted sometimes. There was a weigh station just east of Ansted too, and even a "working girl" who drove a van that worked between Ansted and rt.19- so I heard, so I heard, I don't know that everything I know is factual. And those scars in the road coming out of the last curve coming into Rainelle- I told a driver that was running across there with me one time that they were all from trucks turning over in that curve , but they didn't believe me- but they were. No telling how many trucks turned over in that curve, and in dead man's curve.

I used to run across there a lot, still do sometimes. We could go to Ohio and trip lease loads of steel out of Armco at Middletown coming back to Modine in Buena Vista or Walker Muffler in Harrisonburg because the owner operators around Cincinnati and Middletown didn't want to run the extra miles to Princeton and back north, or run Hawk's Nest on 60. I used to love it, it was a great adventure every time- you just had to put yourself in the right frame of mind before you started across there, realizing you weren't going to make any time, you were going to hold people up, before you got across somebody would be holding you up. Every single time somebody would be saying "why did my dispatcher send me this way?" and "i'm never going this way again!"

apples- just west of Winchester, Va. on rt. 522. There's lots of orchards up around Winchester.

true that!

I like this one- a Mower Man tattoo!

Did you say Mower Man?

Here's where I delivered one piece of pipe in Unionville, Va. Tight spot- I had to turn left out there at the stop sign when I came in, now i'm gonna turn right. That's how they told me to get there, but I looked at it on Google Earth when I got home, and the road straight across goes straight out to rt. 522. Random picture from the interweb of some girl cutting grass. Clean mower, must be a new one.

in a nutshell, and easily explained so anyone can understand- from today's Sunday comics-

pictures- some girl in tight fitting jeans- all of the gripping descriptions are gone...

Yes Underdog, that's where I was at- I didn't try the chicken though.

damn!..
