Since apparently I had nothing better to do while waiting for headquarters to call me back, I surfed the interweb today- I saw these on a site called Old Photos of Carolina's Dragstrips. Pretty neat pictures here...and they had hundreds thousands more. Pulling truck- Car hauler- Stone, Woods, and Cook mobile.

I wouldn't have sirius xm if I weren't driving most of the time, but it's worth it for the entertainment on the road. I should cancel the one in the pickup, don't use it enough to justify having it, just haven't done it.

Yeah, or one of those giant anaconda's that Florida is full of!

You're right about the feet Vlad- If your feets are warm it's not too bad being outside, whether you're working, hunting, or playing- but if they're cold you're cold all over and it's just miserable.

I remember the last time it was out in the snow...didn't work out too good!

I sent you a bottle of hot sauce a couple years ago, I was worried that that was what put you out of service.

Well, .

I remember you, sorry about the divorce situation, and welcome back!

You better run out and get you one of these, quick, while they're still available- ...and don't forget the insulated boots!

You folks in sunny south Florida have a rough time, I feel for ya'.

They're at P.L.Duncan's in Cumberland, Va.

Meanwhile, in Winfall... ...click to play...

I used to have XM because they carried NASCAR, then I switched to Sirius when NASCAR moved to Sirius. Now it's all SiriusXM, but when I cancelled XM they sent me a new radio for free, to get me to stay. I put it in my pickup because the KW already had Sirius built in. I used to have Dish Network in Appomattox and was going to keep it when I moved over here, but I ran into all kinds of hassles with them, one of which was that nobody I tried to talk to could speak english- at least not that I could understand. I called Directv and talked to a guy named Chris, whom I could understand fine, and had Directv in a day or two.

I'm out of likes...

Not sure, but I think all those trucks are for sale.

I'm out of likes, but i'm with you on that one!

We use the plastic junk coils on everything. I carry an extra set of plastic junk hoses in the side box because they do get very brittle when it's cold and if you accidently step on them or kick them when you're getting on the trailer they just snap. I used to braid the old rubber hoses with the light cord on the cabovers I drove, never remember replacing a hose.

Topping Sandstone Mountain in West Virginia, on the way to Louisville, Ky. There's Kentucky, just over this hill. I took a load of beams to Roanoke and had to drop another driver off at Va. Truck Center so he could pick his truck up. They were doing some body work on his Freightliner because somebody backed into him at a truck stop. I saw some new big Mack trucks there, they're the Mack and Freightliner dealer...and maybe Western Star too. I want this one- Saw some nice older units at jettertruck's- I even saw an excavator excavating. Nice load of wood at Art Reed's in Montvale. Good knuckle boom operator loaded this load! He might have stopped to shop, or he might have been waiting out the weight watchers, the DOT was everywhere that day. They even pulled this pickup with a load of hay. ...and this little box truck- They were even checking trucks in Winfall, I'd never seen that before!

Happy birthday.
