I loaded 25 tons of fertilizer at Royster in Lynchburg, Va. in '80 or '81 and took it to Union, W.V. I took rt. 460 to rt. 219 and went north to Union, driving a '77 F model with a 300 ,5 speed. It was loaded on the floor, as most loads of fertilizer was then, and unloaded by hand.

No, she was over in the electronics section- but she could have been lost. I saw this girl in the Winfall Wal Mart a few weeks ago and I followed her around the whole time I was in there to see if she was going to buy some pants, and when those cops dragged me away she still hadn't even looked at any pants.

Today I found an old RT910 laying in the junk pile in the back yard, so I put it in the Dodge during the commercials when I was watching Ax Men.

I saw this girl when I was on the way home from Winfall- she looked a little cold, but I didn't have time to stop and check on her.

She didn't need them, everybody else did!

She's just got her headlights on for safety.

I'm so glad you mentioned that- after I fixed a broken wire so the goat's eyes would light up again- ...I went over to the Winfall Wal Mart, where I saw this nice lady doing some shopping.

no lederhosen either? well, I can't bring my beer assistant then.

This is why we had to turn around with the crane- http://fox59.com/2016/03/02/contractor-dies-at-construction-site-of-new-ipl-power-station-near-martinsville/

She wears those 4X reading glasses...

Absolutely!

How come these pictures are so big? Or is it just me and my interweb machine? Usually they're small and I have to click on them to biggerize them, but they're full size in the original post now.

Oh yeah, it's been like that for a while. I got a new computer last year and did the windows 10 update. Still got windows 8 or 8.1 on my laptop, but I haven't been on IE on it. Still got the big "e" icon on here, but it says Microsoft Edge. I was wondering where IE went and had to google it to find out what was going on.

What did I do?..Oh, I remember- I went to Lynchburg Monday and unloaded the skidded coils that were in the Conestoga, then I took a van load to Fuquay Varina, N.C. When I got back from down there Tuesday I had to get a drop-deck and be in Ashland, Va. Wednesday morning to load crane parts going to Martinsville, In. There was three loads and 2 were wide so we left the shop at 5am and got to Ashland at 7 so we could get loaded as early as possible and get as far as we could before dark. It didn't matter though. I loaded first and didn't pull out of the building until after noon. Didn't get the paperwork until 3pm. We were all loaded and left around 4, and only got as far as Lee-Hi Truckstop in Lexington. I saw a motor grader way over yonder when I was waiting to back in. Part of the crane- I had this load- the hoists, cable, touch-up paint, the hooks, and all kinds of miscellaneous parts and pieces. We left Lee-Hi at daylight yesterday morning. I got a call from headquarters when we were just west of Lewisburg, W.V. and they said to hold up- there was an issue at the job site and they might not want the loads until Monday. Found out that a man was killed at the job, and they shut it down. We turned around and took the loads back to Lee-Hi and dropped them and bob tailed back to the yard. Heading back into Va... I had cancelled an eye Dr. appointment for the third time to take this load, so I called to see if my appointment time for today was still open. It was, so I told them I would be there. As far as I know now, we're going back to Lee-Hi Monday morning and leave at daylight again.

They changed that too, when I click on the IE icon on the desktop, it says "Microsoft Edge" instead of Internet Explorer. I use Google Chrome all the time.

I started driving in 1979, and I remember enjoying it and even having some fun at first, but I enjoyed it less and less as time went on, now there's very little enjoyment and not much fun at all. Even in that time span normal traffic is now about like rush hour used to be, plus all the rules, regulations, HOS, DOT, GPS tracking,etc. that you have to worry about now didn't used to be much of an issue. Shoot, in '79 if they were checking log books at the scales in say, Tennessee, that's all you heard on the CB, and you might still be two states away, because it was a pretty big deal then. Now you hear nothing on the CB about anything, and you can be driving along most anywhere and a cop will pull you over just because he feels like it and check your log book, paperwork, or do an inspection. And not just the DOT, a lot of local county and township cops are doing that now. It has nothing to do with safety, it was because they found out they could make money doing it.

Now that's a good one!

I see a lot of dump trailers loading regular coils at Sharon Coatings in Sharon, Pa.

Well, ..uh...yeah, that's pretty much it.

No, they want van loads only at Chester, W.V. in the winter time, they'll unload flatbeds in the summer. And Kyanite Mining Corp. won't load a flatbed from the end, only from the side. They used to, but not any more.

I went over to the Winfall Saloon to have a drank today- ...but I didn't stay long, I came home to see if I could get my grill started after sitting idle all winter. It started right up, so I threw a half-rack of ribs and half a pork loin on it . I didn't have time to try 1958F.W.D.'s recipe, every thing was frozen solid, so there was no time to marinate anything. Every thing turned out very well though.

I had a van on the first trip, they can't unload the van at N.B.Handy in Lynchburg, so they have to unload them at the shop and put them on a flatbed so they can be side unloaded. The Conestoga was on the second trip to McKees Rocks to load.
