  1. Mine has an alternator and it's positive ground. I had to put an alternator on it a few years ago and got a rebuilt positive ground one from a place in Roanoke for about $120.
  2. Looks like it should be, it has the lights, wipers,everything you need. I think it has tags on it now, but i'm not sure.
  3. I bought a couple dozen ears in Newcomerstown, Ohio last year and froze it in the shucks. My ma said that was the best way to do it, instead of shucking and blanching it first. I just cut the ends off, stick it in a freezer bag, and throw it in the freezer. We had the last of it just a couple of weeks ago and it tasted like it just came out of the garden.
  4. I got a few photographs this week. Got to go home last night- I unloaded some roll-off bodies in Richmond yesterday morning, then picked up a load of pallets in Ashland and took them to Lynchburg. The poison 'shroom has opened up! A girl in a car. I like this little truck in Quinwood,W.V. Lots of apples in Quinwood too. 3 girls, one bike. I'm still trying to get a good picture of the engine in this car, but not having much luck with it. Gee, leaves are already turning. Last winter dragged on and on, but summer just flies by. Another girl in another car. Saw the Ford with a load of wood again. Saw the big Mack truck with a load of wood again. Then I saw another Ford with another load of wood. And another girl in another car. Followed a big green machine for a while. Saw a girl beside a car, getting gas in the pouring rain. Saw this cabover Freightliner truck. uhhhh...nice stacks. Bought some corn in Pa. to put in the deep freeze. ...along with these peppers I picked when I got home. I was wrong about the peppers before. I did find the little plastic tag under the plants and apparently the little red ones that I thought were Tabascos are Dragon Cayennes, and the little green ones that I didn't know about are actually the Tabascos. Glad that's all cleared up,eh?
  5. My brain is starting to hurt too. I'm gonna go post pictures of the week that require no thinking. With brief descriptions, because everybody has seen a girl in a car before.
  6. You are correct- it's all about the money.
  7. These are some I had saved on the computer, came from somewhere on the interweb. This one is from Australia. These colorful units are apparently from Marietta. I know nothing...
  8. A few B models i've seen. This one was in S.C. I believe. This was for sale in Fairmont,W.V.for a long time. This one is still sitting on rt.422 just east of New Castle,Pa.
  9. I only drove a dump truck with an 8LL, hauling dirt at the shop when we had to biggerize the driveway. That was for about half a day, and about a 300 yard haul. I never drove a 15 speed deep reduction.
  10. It's like a science fiction movie around here- mushrooms all over. Check out this huge specimen- These are pretty big too. ...and this one is pretty, but EM6285 said "red screams poison". Then I saw 18,335,863 little baby spiders on the side of the house...they're history now. Then I saw the two biggest, nastiest looking slugs i've ever seen. But, for binness as usual around here, I cut the grass this morning, then helped my next door neighbor move this evening. I saw these peppers growing- these are some I planted when I pulled the cabbage up that the cabbage worms destroyed. Don't remember what kind they are, but there's lots of them on the plant, lots of buds, and it's still blooming, so I should get a lot of peppers off it. . These are the Tabascos, I pick them as they turn red. Bananner and tabasco peppers i'm about to put in the freezer. I bet that little tabasco is the hottest one ever. Cantaloupe that came up volunteer in the garden. The wise old owl.
  11. That's me, i've only heard of "cheater gear" in 9 and 13 speeds,only tried it a time or two.
  12. Mushrooms everywhere!

  13. Dammit! I've been under surveillance by aliens all this time and was too stupid to realize it! I'm gonna get the ax and chop it down tomorrow...first i'll throw a piece of tin foil over it tonight, so I can sneak up on it.
  14. Here's another old store. It's facing rt. 60 in Mount Rush, Va. Never open that I remember, but I remember my wife saying she had been in it when she was little. I saw this odd shaped mushroom in the yard last weekend. By the time I got home today it had turned from a mushroom head to a saucerhead. Just who comes up with these road names anyway? Trucks in the field. Truck by the road. Pretty neat looking little unit. I tried to get another picture of the car for sale in Canvas, W.V. but I accidently hit the button before I was close enough. There's Wooly Booger in front of me with another load of lumber. A girl in a car. Saw a big Mack truck with a load of pulpwood. Saw another big Mack truck with another load of pulpwood. But this Ford had them both beat- now that's a load of wood! Saw some big bad machines. And some big yellow machines way over there. And a Marmon, I saw a Marmon.
  15. Todd and Jeff Moore drove all the way to Evans City to go to court, I parked the truck at a rest area on 79 and rode with them. Long story short, after the main defense argument failed, Todd told them he was looking for any leniency he could get, and they reduced the fine from $6,357.00 to $1,800 and something. So it was well worth a 400 mile drive in the Navigator to save $4,000.
  16. Neat pictures, i've never seen the inside of a livestock trailer before. I've been taking some pictures of old stores myself whenever I see them. They're just old buildings to most, but you can tell it used to be a store. I wonder about how it used to be- maybe like French's store, with a big round wheel of cheese in a wooden box on the counter. They would guess at a pound then cut a slab off with a knife. Boloney came in a whole big roll, not in a plastic container and already sliced like now. They'd slice that with a knife for you too, then wrap it in white paper. That's what we did for lunch when I was growing up, if we didn't get home we'd go to the store and get a pound of baloney and a loaf of bread. And the old stores all had penny candy, which probably costs a quarter now. F.LM. got more Prostars, but after the first two Maxxforce engines stayed in the shop more than they did on the road they went back to the Cummins ISX engines.
  17. It was a local township cop that wrote me that $6,000 overweight ticket in Pa. Just sitting there on that short section of road that had a ten ton weight limit. Had the portables with him too. It's all about the money. Had a state DOT ociffer pull me over in Bedford,Va. last week. He checked my paperwork and didn't find any violations, but he had that a-hole attitude like "I know you're a criminal,because you're driving this truck- I just don't know what you're guilty of yet". It's all about the money- they see a truck, they see dollar signs.
  18. Maybe that's what they were thinking to come up with this mirror design...
  19. ...and no duct tape was involved in this fix-it project. But- "Besides the new pipe will just rub a hole in it any way." If you put a new pipe on it you could wrap some duct tape around it where it was rubbing.
  20. Yes, I just took that picture Friday but I couldn't see around back because some trucks were parked in front.
  21. If you get back by there, see if they have a sister model to that one, if it's in my price range Jo's out the door. owh!...dammit!..owh!..uh, never mind...ouch...damn, that hurt!
  22. Country stores have about everything you need. Didn't know you could get a wife there though...probably just a Vermont thing. I like the girl in the car...i'm still thinking about it.
  23. This Conestoga was parked beside me at the shop when I left Sunday. I thought maybe somebody backed into it, but I heard later he was making a turn and a telephone pole got in the way. Then before I got to Bedford I saw this fellow in some trouble. Looks like he just didn't swing wide enough to make the turn. It looks like he could have gotten farther to the left and pulled farther into 460 before starting his turn, but once that knuckleboom was in the ditch it was all over until the wrecker gets there. . Speaking of trouble, I saw a state trooper with this truck pulled over in Concord Thursday. Might be some height issues here.
  24. The Barnyard BBQ in West Virginia with smoke rolling out of all the stacks. The football fields mystery might be solved- I saw a sign down there that said "Saints Personnel Only", so perhaps it's the Saints new practice facility. Car for sale. I didn't see the groundhog, so I walked over and looked in the hole... There it is! Good looking tires. I saw a big Mack truck in the mirror. And a girl in a car- no leg showing, but nice boobage. Later,that same day...I saw another girl in another car. She had some nice boobage too. Some pickups in Crewe, Va. Good looking tanker out of Iowa with all LED's, pulled by a sharp looking Peterbilt. Endless Caverns, near New Market, Va. Metals USA in Ambridge, Pa. A big Mack truck. Brand new gloves- strapped and tarped one load of Kyanite, and they're coming apart. A girl in a car with nice legs and little boobage.
  25. Yeah, I went that way. It's a little tight making the left turn onto Navarre, but I had the whole road. It's a whole lot easier going the new way instead of turning around the old way.
