other dog

If i'd seen yours in the bunch I would have express mailed it to you. Only famous person's I saw was David Strickland's.

I don't remember for sure, but I think it was up on 29 somewhere.

I had 11 issues of Double Clutch in the mail box Thursday, tied up in a bundle. I kept mine and Jo took the rest back to the post office. Mine was on the bottom with the address showing so they all came here. One went to Brookneal, with is near here, but most of the others were going to southwest Va. I remember seeing Pearisburg, Dublin, Independence, Cana, so I don't know why they ended up at the Gladys post office anyway.

I didn't see much this week, so once again I only took a few pictures. I didn't even do much this week- went to Chantilly Monday, came back to Lynchburg to get a load of pipes going to Pittsburgh Tuesday but they didn't have the pipes, so I took a load of sheet steel and one coil to Charlotte. Picked up another load of steel in Charlotte and took it to Richmond, then brought a load of pallets back to Lynchburg- the only load all week that I didn't have to tarp, and the heat and humidity has been awful...brutal! I didn't even have to refuel all week, but I was getting nervous about making it back to the shop from Moneta this morning- both low fuel lights were on. Put in 226 gallons at the shop- it only holds 270, and I was afraid it would conk out coming up Oxford Furnace hill. I saw some new units at the shop- Saw lots of traffic headed towards D.C. on 66 Tuesday morning. I saw a girl in a car on 29. I saw a big Mack wrecker, but I missed most of it. I saw a little wrecker in Richmond too. Saw a B.J.and the Bear looking truck in Charlotte. I saw another girl in another car in Charlotte too. And I saw a couple of NASCAR haulers heading up 85 to Richmond. This is Kevin Harvick's hauler- nice Pete!

Yes, I just clicked on the link and the site says "Now we can protect your Mac too".

I'd offer to drive it over, but it doesn't have a steering wheel.

Unfortunately I have to take off to northern Va. sometime today. I've got a load of coils going to Chantilly, up near Dulles Airport. I don't like going to that part of the world any time, I suppose the traffic will be more horrible than usual today.

well if you're going to do all that, I shall put forth more effort to make it next year myself.

Just some computer info that might be helpful to some- When I had a guy in Appomattox work on my old computer he installed a program called malwarebytes. It scans for malware and potentially unwanted programs. I installed it on this computer too, and they have a free version- https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/ I also heard about this on the radio a couple of weeks ago- https://getadblock.com/ It's free too, or payment optional, and it works. It blocks the youtube and facebook ads that annoy the crap out of me!

I'm gonna look for a used Chrysler New Yorker so I can get me some of that!

Well, much like HeavyGunner said- there's an old saying "love the sinner, hate the sin". I don't know if that's in the Bible or not, but I do know the Bible says "There is none who is without sin, no, not one, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

ribs and loins smoking- loin, ribs, chicken, burgers... cold drinks... dog...

I went to American Waterworks?..it was something like that. I took 422 to 286, went towards town, they were on the right across from a Wendy's. Couldn't make the right, so I turned around in a shopping center and turned left into their driveway- it was still a tight turn.

Got some ribs, some chicken, pork loin, hamburgers, hot dogs- the usual!

I didn't see much this week, therefore I didn't take pictures of much. I went to the shop Monday morning to get a load of pipes going to somewhere on Campbell's Run Road, just off of 376 just west of 79 just west of Pittsburgh, but I traded that load for a load of lumber going to Conneaut Lake. I saw this dove there- and this chipmunk that ran out from under a stack of lumber. Quick little fellow, he rarely stopped moving long enough for me to get a picture. Saw this big Mack truck in Hubbard when I was going to Truck World. Saw two well dressed scantily clad wimmins going into the Sheetz in Madison Heights. Later I saw them coming out of the Sheetz in Madison Heights. They were in a blue car. I took a load of pipes to Indiana, Pa. Wednesday. There was an accident on 81 in Harrisonburg, so I went up rt.11. I saw a pedestrian and a 25mph. speed limit sign at James Madison University. Saw a big-ass wrecker in Troutville.

True that.

I'm glad you asked. The man there that unloaded the containers said that building was built in 1936 by the Ford Motor Company. It might have been a Ford dealership, I don't know. He knew a lot of the history of the area- there was a huge building across the road, that's where he unloaded me. That was an old cold storage facility, he said for apples- they still grow a lot of apples in the area. He also said the road through there used to be the main highway before they built U.S.29 in the 30's. It was a pretty neat place, the road going in was barely big enough for a truck, then there's this huge building in front of you, and it's in the middle of nowhere. I saved some images from google earth, I didn't take any pictures of the big building myself. I loaded in Portsmouth that morning and unloaded in Arrington late that evening. They picked the containers up with a forklift on each side then I pulled ahead and they set it down. When they lifted the front one I was in the highway when I pulled up, so I had to go. I wish I could have looked around some more. This is an aerial view- the building to the left is the one in the picture, the larger one to the right is the old cold storage facility. I came in on Arrington Rd, turned left in between the buildings on rt.758, then blindsided back in the driveway. This is looking at the cold storage building- the other building would be directly on the left. ...all in the middle of nowhere!

Good thing Noah was there to steer while you pushed it that last mile to the house.

I like running in the woods myself better than being on 79 or 81, but people pass anywhere, doesn't matter if it's on a double line or in a curve, they just pass wherever they catch you, especially in West Virginia.

that's why you should wear a hard hat and a reflective safety vest, to prevent these type of accidents!..stupid staple guns...

It's all about the money in my opinion, they couldn't care less about safety, that's just their excuse to stop you. If it had anything to do with safety couldn't they let you fix an issue without giving you a ticket? Case in point, one time the DOT man pulled Big Jim over on 460 between Bedford and Lynchburg- probably the same a-hole that pulled me over for no reason one night- anyway, he didn't really find any violations, but Big Jim had his chain binders stuck down in the stake pockets of his trailer. The DOT man said that was "an unsecured load- I know, and you know, they aren't going anywhere but you need to put them in the headache rack." Big Jim said "can I just move them?" and the cop said "yeah, put them in the headache rack." So he did, but the cop wrote him up for it anyway. If the cop told him they weren't going anywhere, and he hung them in the headache rack so they were "secured", why did he have to write him up for having an unsecured load? We used to carry binders in the stake pockets all the time, never had one come out- it's all about the money.

I went to Moneta to get a load of lumber Thursday afternoon. Oddly enough, I didn't see any protesters, buildings burning, or people looting any stores.

I saw a colorful bug. A girl in a car- Wide open spaces- Another girl in another car- Headed up towards Mt. Storm, W.V. You can see the road i'd just came up over the guardrail. Another girl in another car. A truck parked at the scenic overlook. A dog in a car staring at a girl's ass. Wind turbines on top of the mountain. A girl chasing a dog in a car because he was staring at her ass. A big truck. A Volkswagon. Lots of traffic on 270 after I left Gaithersburg, Md. Thursday morning. Lots of apples on the trees this year- I wonder if that means it's going to be another bad winter or it's just a good year for apples? Another girl in another car. Big crane! Norfolk Naval Shipyard entrance- I didn't go there, I made a right turn here and went to Portsmouth and picked up 2 twenty foot containers going to Arrington, Va. Arrington, Va. A big Mack truck with a big load of pulpwood.

I saw a giant inflatable bulldog in Australia on facebook, but it doesn't look as good as your giant inflatable bulldog!
