That each model looks like a toy compared to kens truck

Yes it does! I tightened them up in the same picture to show a better  comparison of the size difference. this is the same picture, I didn't change the size of anything, just cut one truck and slid it over closer to the other.

Hey Tom!!  are you guy's OK??  there is a weather warning right now about a tornado...  

yes, we are fine, thank you for asking. they had tornado warnings here the day before we went to Winchester, and while we were there our neighbor told Zina they were under another tornado warning here, but we had no damage here except for the tree that I cut out of the road, the tree that I should have left in the road. But no, i'm glad I cut it, I was the idiot for not wearing long sleeves, long pants, gloves, and sensible shoes. 😂

I thought somewhere around 3 million. I don’t know. I never really thought about it. I really never had an accident except the collided with a girl that ran a red light about 35 years ago and a few yard scrapes bob

wonder how many times you've chained up?

Farmer52's MH and an H-63.

I thought I posted this picture yesterday, but maybe I dreamed it. I couldn't find it.

...and that poison oak, or poison ivy still ain't looking much better!

Congratulations Bob, I hope you enjoy your retirement - I know I enjoy mine! 😊

who is the young lady trying to smuggle the two cantaloupes??  

Just some random antique truck enthusiast who happened to be passing by.

I just looked at the weather forecast for Winchester and it ain't lookin' good.

No, but it does look slightly better now than it did. No rain tomorrow, just cloudy, but there's a chance all day on Friday. Then nothing Saturday between 10am and 5pm.

Miller Lite will help that from the inside out.. 

No Good Deed Goes Un-punished   

that's exactly what my son said!..the "no good deed'' part, not the Miller Lite part. 

I was sitting here minding my own binness drinking coffee one morning a week ago. Heard the school bus go by about 7:15, as usual. I let the dogs out for their post meal poops and when I went out on the back porch I heard a backup beeper just down the road. I watched until I could see, and it was the bus backing up the road. It turned around in our biggerized driveway and went back the way it came. So I got in the pickup and rode down the road to see if there was a particular reason that the bus had backed up and turned around. And I saw this- I had already started cutting on it when I remembered that I should take pictures for evidence.

I thought sure the school bus driver had radioed the situation in to headquarters, and a crew was rushing to the scene at that moment. But when I was outside around 10 o'clock I saw a car backing up. So I rode down to investigate again, it was only about a quarter of a mile or so down the road. This time I put gas and oil in the chainsaw and took it with me, thinking surely somebody had removed that tree by then, but just in case...

and sure enough, the tree was still there, hadn't been touched. So I proceded to cut it up enough to get it out of the road.

Unfortunately, it had a big poison oak vine growing up it. All the greenery on the tree you see there is poison oak. And it doesn't even usually bother me unless I pretty much just rub it on myself, but I had to get right up in it to cut the tree. With short pants on, no gloves, like an idiot.

So yeah, I broke out in several places.

So now it's itching like crazy. I told my sister I was putting calamine lotion on it and said "oh that crap ain't no good, you need some of that $18 a tube stuff called tecnu". So Zina got me a tube of that Tecnu, for $18. It might work if you used it first thing, but I didn't even know the poison oak had gotten me for a couple of days. Anyway, it didn't seem to help much, so I went back to putting calamine lotion on it. But I think that was extra powerful poison oak on that tree too, that vine was as big as your wrist down near the bottom of the tree.

That tropical storm that is supposed to hit us Thursday Night will probably be up your way by Friday Night???? Unless it swings West???

Were you going to take the big green truck up the back roads????

 

If I drove it i'd go up 15 to Culpeper, 29 to Warrenton, 17 to 50 to Winchester. We used to run that way all the time, back when the speed limit was 55 everywhere, not too much traffic, 17 wasn't restricted, and 29 didn't have a stoplight every mile. But even if we do decide to go i'm not gonna drive the International up there. The only windshield wipers i've got is Rain-X.

That's what we have, the antenna works pretty good.
