  2. Those pictures are great, some good screen saver pictures there!
  3. Nice girl in a car- nice Macks too! A lot of rules make no sense nowadays, but they're the rules. We had to get new hard hats a few years ago because Gerdau-Ameristeel required them to be blue. What difference does it make what color they are? You can't get up on your trailer there for any reason either. Have to have long sleeves at Sharon Coatings now, just like at AK Steel, even if it's 95 in the shade. And at Lane Steel you don't need a hardhat at all...or sleeves for that matter.
  4. I hardly have any pictures this week, and I just got home from a failed attempt to investigate the radar installation on Apple Orchard Mountain. It was cloudy when we left, but I knew it would clear off... You could hardly see 50 yards on the mountain, we never even saw it at all. But hey, George Mallory failed on his first attempt to climb Everest. However, on his second attempt...well, never mind George Mallory. It is a frightening experience riding with Jo too, even on a good day- today was horrifying. Anyhow, I saw an Averett flatbed delivering lumber in Moneta. Never saw them with a flatbed before. I saw a Ford truck in McKees Rocks. A girl in a car. A Brockway truck in Rupert, W.V. A girl in a car. A ship. A girl in a car- no great "girl in a car" pictures this week, just mediocre ones compared to last week's. They'd be pretty good in January though. Nettie, W.V. Road shots, W.V. I took this picture of this picture because my Dad and Grandfather had a mounted one row corn picker on a Farmall C. I remember that "nose cone" thing, and that it was an all day job to put it on the tractor. I was just a little tyke when we had it though. I do know my Dad liked a mounted corn picker, and wanted no parts of a pull type. That was one reason he bought a 5000 Ford tractor, because you could get a mounted corn picker for it. But looking at this picture, I don't think that's a C, it looks like an H to me.
  5. Didn't Don Garlits race a jet on an aircraft carrier one time? By the way, I once saw on TV before a NASCAR race what 200mph. really looked like. You don't get the sense of speed that 200mph. really is watching a race on TV because the cars are going close to the same speed, and that's what they wanted to show. Ned Jarrett drove around Talledega at 55mph. with an in car camera, and Terry Labonte blew by him running over 200mph. It was wild!
  6. I haven't seen them since the 80's myself...or maybe it was the 70's, I don't remember. But the quickest time I remember was in the low 6's and I said to my friend "wow, someday they'll be down in the 5's." And he said "no,I don't think so, they've gone about as far as they can go with horsepower, tires, and everything else."...and look at them now- I was way off thinking 5 seconds.
  7. they sell clothes at the gift shop too...lots of clothes...and shoes, they're loaded with shoes.
  8. She would like it too, they have something for everybody. They not only have tractors, but cars, trucks, and tons of antiques and displays around the perimeter of the building. And a gift shop too, with lots of diecast models, books, T shirts, etc. If she goes and passes a lie detector test saying she didn't enjoy it, i'll give her her money back myself. Or, she could always go to the pet store across the street and talk to the cockatoos.
  9. When you go to the Carolinas on your family vacation you should cut the trip short and take the crew to the Keystone Tractor Museum, then take rt. 460 west to Appomattox, so medium can take in the surrender grounds and Museum there. Then drop by over here and i'll make you some barbecue!
  10. This is true, I don't know if it put a lot steel companies out of business, but it had to have helped. All those scrubbers and filters you see at steel mills must have cost millions of dollars to install and it still wasn't enough. The inside of the stacks on the trucks at the shop look like new because they're so clean, with DPFs and DEF, and it's still not enough- can't find my Heavy Duty Trucking magazine at the moment- but I was just reading where they've come out with even stricter emissions and fuel mileage regulations that have to be met by- what was it, 2018 maybe? And I see it myself all the time, or maybe I should say I don't see it, all the coal trucks in West Virginia- disappeared...gone. Because everybody knows coal fired power plants are bad, right? That's why West Virginians love Obama...yeah, right!
  11. a lot of people who got on the Clinton's bad side seem to have passed away unexpectedly too...under mysterious circumstances...just saying. I like Donald Trump- he's catching it now for speaking the truth, I like Ben Carson, Rand Paul. Chances of any of them being elected are slim and none though. I think it'll be Jeb Bush against Hillary, with Bush being the lesser of two evils. Any candidate that tells it like it is and speaks the truth about what we really need instead of speaking what they think people want to hear stands little chance of ever being elected, it offends illegal aliens and the "I wants my free shit!" people.
  12. I heard a woman telling George Noory one night last week that there is now talk of everyone having to have a chip implanted with their ID number on it, that could be scanned like a bar code to be able to buy and sell anything, because there's so much identity theft now I guess. No cash, no credit card, no writing a check, they would just scan your number. I don't remember the exact reason, but it sure sounds like the "mark of the beast" as it says in the Bible to me.
  13. That would be my dream job, to have a "barbecue joint"- nothing fancy, just a "BBQ Shack". A pool table or two would be fine. Couple of half nekkid girls hanging around taking orders and serving Yuengling to the customers would be fine too.
  14. I used to have a mud bogger, it was a lot of fun. It was a 71 IH Scout that I bought from Galloway's 4 Wheel Drive Center in New London, N.C. Darrell Galloway was the NMRO Pro Stock national champion and used to come to "Bodatious" all the time, where I raced. I bought the Scout from his daddy for $600, with no engine or tires. I put a warmed up 355 chevy small block in it and had 2 sets of Super Swamper tires, 36" and 38''. Won a lot of trophies with it. These videos of it are pretty bad, I copied them off of an old VHS tape from the TV.
  15. Me too....I mean me neither...I mean "I agree!" I was watching "Alaska Bush People" the other day, and the Brown's new boat has an 8V-71 in it.
  16. The black and blue B model looks great!
  17. I went to over to Winfall to get some Winfall Wimmin to give me a hand pulling it, but as soon as I saw them with a gas grill I just left and came back home to pull my own meat.
  18. Thank you Vlad. Here's the rest of the boston butts story-
  19. Sorry to hear of your back problems, glad your move worked out well for you though. Rob deleted all his posts and left, don't know what happened to Morgan, Paul pops in about once a year, don't know about Garth.
  20. I bought a 2001 Focus for my wife, when she passed away in 2005 I traded it for a 2002 Ranger pickup. Has over 150,000 miles on it now, still runs like a new one.
  21. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Boston butt or pork butt is the American name for a cut of pork that comes from the upper part of the shoulder from the front leg and may contain the blade bone.[1] Boston butt is the most common cut used for pulled pork, a staple of barbecue in the southernUnited States. In the United Kingdom, Boston butt is known as pork shoulder on the bone, since regular pork shoulder normally has the bone removed and then rolled and tied back into a joint. This is three of them, on the smoker.
  22. That's a mighty big boat in that little creek. I like that GMC wrecker though, looks good.
