Yes, I am a goofball...
other dog replied to leversole's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Gee, a few years ago I had a pretty regular run to Fremont, Ohio. Used to run up rt. 250 from Strasburg, Oh. to Norwalk, passed lots of Amish buggies. I could have been taking "a girl in a buggy" pictures, but I didn't know anybody was interested. -
Happy birthday to...uh...you fellas!

good looking sammich you got there too! -
You're absolutely right, I never thought of that.

I know there's a double standard- if it was an adult man and a 15 year old girl, that's just wrong. But a 15 year old boy is scarred for life? Really? I doubt she had to hold a gun to his head or a knife to his throat. Dad's probably jealous because it wasn't him, being angry because his wife told him to, while secretly thinking "way to go son!" http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2015/08/21/former-nfl-cheerleader-sentenced-for-raping-teenage-boy/

I went across rt.22 when I left Pittsburgh because 885 south was closed and to avoid the Friday backup at I-79 and I-70 at Washington, Pa. Probably a big mistake- construction, left lane closed, more construction, left lane closed, backups, more construction, accident on 81 at Staunton, more backups... Took this in the mirror of trucks blocking the left lane to keep all the 4 wheelers from running the left lane all the way to where it was closed and then forcing their way into the right lane- I did see some nice rides on 22 though- I was going to stop and see Barry, but I didn't have time I was afraid this big dog would bite me because I was driving a Kenworth. I've posted these garage doors before, but I got a really good picture yesterday because I was only going about 2 1/2 mph. I passed a beer store... At least my engine light didn't.......eh, never mind.

I saw a dog in a car. I saw the big star on Mill Mountain from Truck Enterprises in Roanoke. A little closer look- It was very warm that day- A dog on a bike- A girl in a car. I saw a ship that had run aground- A big old Brockway dump truck- A big old load of logs. A big old Autocar- A fan in a car. A girl in a car. A boat by the corn field.

good thing I went back to the shop, the bearings were shot in the wheel with the leaking seal. I'm sitting at the little Marathon fuel stop at exit 18 on I-90 in Pa. now. No engine lights, no issues on the way up here.

I went to Roanoke to pick the truck up yesterday. The nice lady service manager showed me 3 pages of stuff that they did when I asked, very little of which made any sense to me except they updated the ECM and did a re-gen. So it was all sensor/electrical issues. I got the keys and went to hook to the trailer and saw a puddle of oil on the ground under the trailer by the left front tires. So I went back in and said "I know this is a stupid question, but could you fix a grease seal on the trailer"? She said it would probably be a few hours before they could get it in, and they probably wouldn't have the right seal because they didn't carry many trailer parts. I figured if I went to Lee-Hi it would be the same "a few hours" story and it was already about 4:30, so I went to Concord. I started to get a bottle of hub oil and go on up the road with it, but if I went through a check and they saw it i'd have to have it fixed on the road, so I called headquarters and told them it would be sitting there this morning. So now i'm back where I was 2 days ago, about to start over again.

I deleted the pictures I took the last time they put a turbo on it, but in this interweb photo it looks like it's made of silver- a little cheaper than gold. Old turbos had 4 bolts, an oil line, and 2 pipes, while these are almost unrecognizable as a turbo because of all the lines, hoses, sensors, wires, pipes, valves, doo-dads, and thing-a-mabobs that make them so expensive.

I would have, but the shed's so cluttered I couldn't find it.

Just sittin' at home, looking at the interweb...I left Concord yesterday morning about 10:30 going to Fairview, Pa. with a load of lumber. A couple of miles from Iron Gate on rt. 220 my red engine light came on and it started pinging. I pulled over and the orange engine light with the little wrench in it came on too. I spun the wheel to see the faults and it said turbo actuator,delta pressure, Bus2,CAN,..that's all I remember. I tried to google CAN and Bus2 but I couldn't find any info, so I have no idea what they mean. I called Jeff yesterday because Dilley had told me when the red light comes on and it starts pinging you'd better be looking for somewhere to pull over, because it's going to shut down. Jeff said it would let you drive 30 miles, so I don't know. He told me to try to get it back to Roanoke. Redneck was with me and he said he would keep on to I-64 and run that back over to 81 and down to Roanoke so I could at least get on the shoulder if it conked out, because if I turned around and went back down 220, which was much shorter, it would quit on the 2 lane part for sure. The light went off when I was pulling North Mountain and stayed off until I got all the way to 581, but it was surging and would quit pulling periodically all the way down 81 and the turbo boost would drop. I parked it outside the gate at Truck Enterprises and Tom who works in the shop bob tailed up there in the new white T800 to pick me up. That was the only truck sitting there with fuel in it he said. He brought a truck in case I didn't make it to Roanoke he could at least bring the trailer in. I was just about to call headquarters a few minutes ago to see if they'd heard anything when Jeff called to ask where i'd put the keys, so apparently they're just now about to pull it in the shop. I guess I should have told them the keys were in the side box under the box of triangle reflectors. I don't know if it's a sensor issue, electrical problem, or the turbo's going bad. It's on the third turbo now, has a little over 400,000 miles on it. A new turbo's about $6,000- hope it's still under warranty.

Yeah, i'm on the right side of the road. You, on the other hand... These videos are at least 4 years old, been driving the KW 4 years in October. Stuck a little Kodak camera up on the dash and took them. That was the ol' Pete I used to drive with the 550 Cat and 18 speed.

Here's a little video I took over on Hawk's Nest several years ago. This one is heading east on rt. 60, coming off the mountain into Rainelle.

pretty sure it's ethanol

I ordered 2 Cannonball DVDs from https://www.robertsvideos.com/several years ago, with 2 episodes on each disc. I saw this when I just did the google search to copy the link- http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/ROBERTS-HARD-TO-FIND-VIDEOS/Saskatoon-Saskatchewan-S7H-3H7/ROBERTS-HARD-TO-FIND-VIDEOS-ripoff-fraud-business-Credit-card-fraud-does-not-send-videos-a-29919 I didn't have any problems when I ordered mine.

...of yellow jackets this morning. I did the usual walk-around this morning before I left and saw them flying around to-and-fro. Saw the hole they were going in and out of- it was only about 10 feet from where I abandoned the mower and took off running. I had practically been standing on top of it when I went back looking for a nest, and never saw a thing. So I went to the shed and prepared my weapons- the Yuengling can is full of Citgo unleaded gasoline. I poured the gas in the hole, then sprayed a trail of starting fluid back about 10 or 12 feet and flicked my Bic. I didn't see any sign of activity around the hole when I got home this evening.

I saw that truck on the restaurant on TV. That was the Pelletier's- probably spelled that wrong- of Pelletier Logging. They had a reality show for a season or two, but I can't remember the name of it now. They hauled wood from Maine to Canada on a private road, ran a bunch of Western Stars, got a new Mack Titan...anyhow, nice girls in cars too!
-
I never actually see anything like that in real life, like you do in sunny south Florida, so I had to go to the interweb.
-
hey thanks Bob, never heard of that, i'm gonna check it out now!
-
I like Rawhide, that comes on on Saturday morning here, just before The Rifleman! Wish I could get Combat, loved that show when I was a kid.
-
In fact, i'd better throw in a couple more from the inter-web.

I saw on Fox News this morning that Connecticut has done away with the death penalty. This story was one of the main points people were making as to why there should be a death penalty-http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/07/nyregion/07slay.html This is a case where I believe the death sentence would have been appropiate, but he got life instead-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Appomattox_shootings Ronald Scruggs was my wife Becky's sister's son. This case ,http://murderpedia.org/male.W/w/williams-michael-wayne.htm and all the above cases, make me think some people should just be dragged to the highest tree on the courthouse lawn and hanged- if it's open and shut, no doubt about guilt, there should be no b.s, no appeals, just hang 'em from the highest tree. Leave the bodies swinging, Josie Wales said buzzards gotta eat too, then maybe people would think twice before they did something stupid. Morris Keller's younger brother was my best friend all through elementary school.

Creepy indeed, that's just nasty looking! I'd better re-run an old girl in a car picture-
