other dog

Whatever kind this is...

Well, I was heading back to Milton with 2 more mill rolls today when I got a call from headquarters. They said the roll coming back wouldn't be ready until late tonight or in the morning. Last time they said that it was lunch time the next day before it was ready, so I got on 29 at Charlottesville and went to the shop and came home. Took a couple of pictures on the first round- saw a big load of pulpwood heading up 220 to Covington. Got it stacked up pretty high there. Nice job loading it though. Got behind this truck heading into Charleston. And, I saw a bag of dog food in a car in Charleston.

well, it was just that one time.

I did.

Just went through my saved pictures and deleted about 257 of them. Here's some oldies but goodies-

I like that blue Chevrolet truck, looks like a nice job, and it still looks like an old Chevy truck...and the Painless display- nice!

Thanks Al.

I prefer Bud Light, but being's i'm not 19 any more I stick with the light beer because there's only half the calories of regular beer, and i'm big enough now.

Here you go Mike, it's in the mail- already has an emergency kit in the trunk!

here's my recipe- you go to Wal Mart and get some PBR glasses, no matter what kind of beer you drink, they just look good,eh? Get a bottle of Clamato juice... Pour beer into PBR glass, top it off with Clamato- it'll look like this- When PBR glass is empty, repeat step two. When PBR glass is empty, repeat step two. When PBR glass is empty, repeat step two. Repeat step two, until you just cain't repeat no more...

hmmmmm...Yogi's an expert in his field, he might have stolen the camera and they were all watching the video at his place.

Gee...now you got me started- there's all the bears, sitting around in the bear cave watching the film- "hey look, there's uncle Bobby Bear, flipping off the camera! Oh look- I see Gentle Ben over there by the edge of the woods too- he's taking a dump...and there's cousin Fozzy, haven't seen him in a while...what's he doing?..oh, he's mooning the camera!"

Bonus pic of the day... I asked Morgan the other day if Graham ever played with the Cat loader and dump truck we got him for Christmas. He said yes, but he wanted to get on everything and ride it now- he'll be two Tuesday. Since the Cat toys will break easily, when we saw a little ride-on Tonka toy today at a sidewalk sale in Altavista, we circled back and bought it- for $2. It's got batteries in it, and it's got turn signals, a horn, beepers, and all kinds of sounds that work. Now I need to find another one for Graham to play with. I did get him another Cat toy to go with his collection too. It lights up too, and makes engine sounds, shakes, rattles- I don't know if the blade moves because it's still in the box, but he likes anything that lights up and makes noise.

I thought it was a EHU, but i'm not sure. It's a super cool looking outfit though, that's for sure!

Geez, i've been running my ass off this week, like these two women here- I went to Canton and back, Milton and back, Ambridge and back, then went from Roanoke to Petersburg yesterday and brought a load back to the yard. Saw this wrecker at Alta, W.V. Wild turkeys in the field just down the road from here. Mill roll I picked up Tuesday. It was quite a job chaining this unit down- I did it all standing on the ground. They won't let you get on the trailer at Gerdau-Ameristeel for any reason. They don't care if you fall off the trailer, just do it somewhere else and not on their property. Usually the rolls are in a rack like this- and i'll just strap it and leave and go across rt.1 to the big dirt parking lot by the store and chain them, but this one wouldn't fit in a rack because of the big block on the end of it and I was afraid to go without chains on it. Had to set it on 4x4s in coil racks. The bearing was bad in that block and it wouldn't turn and they couldn't get it off, that's why it had to go to Milton. I saw a dog at Lee-Hi. A burned up truck on the W.V. Turnpike. Nice looking IH at the mill. A girl in a car. Later, that same day, I saw another girl in another car. Nice looking 3000 White in Canton. Freightrain might know this truck. Nice looking car hauler and drag car in Canton, but it was blurry. Big Mack at Newcomerstown Truckstop. Units in Roanoke- Big ape in Dover.

Probably have better luck with the 9- my brother set up a game camera to watch bears that would come out into a field at my grandfather's old place. You had to go about a mile off the highway to get back to the fields. He raised some crops there, the house was long gone, and there was nothing else there except a little hunting cabin they built. Some a-hole stole the camera.

I called Bill Tuesday to thank him, and sent him an e-mail. He said he only had a few copies printed to send to people around the world. It's not really a book written as a continuous story of his life, just the stories from his website put into book form in chronological order- still a nice book. I will let him know there is some interest if he did decide to have more copies printed. And sorry Ed, there's only a few pictures in it. I can go to his website and print the pictures for you and staple them into a book for you for a small fee- staple- $6 paper- $14 ink- $43 shipping and handling- $39

Holy mackerel, when is someone gonna finally go by the common sense rule? If a situation like this backs up traffic for miles, just imagine how much worse it's gonna be when everybody is running at the same speed. What a fuster cluck that's gonna be!

I got a package in the mail from Old Bill today- I always told him he should write a book! It's got all the stories that's on his website, plus some new ones, and a lot about what he's got going on now. I don't know if it's available for sale or how many copies he had printed, but i'll pass the info. on if copies are for sale, it's a nice book full of great stories.

oh yes, that's totally acceptable.

I used to get those little cans of tomato juice and a quart of beer when I had a hangover. I'd drink enough of the beer to pour the can of tomato juice in it, then drink it down...not bad! I used to buy Clamato juice to drink by itself, it's just delicious. I bought a bottle at Dodd's Store one time on the way to Covington and the woman in the store said only one other person bought it regularly, and he put it in his beer. So I tried it when I got home- drank a couple swallows of beer, then topped it off with the Clamato juice. I've been drinking it ever since. I tried that Budweiser/Clamato premixed concoction too because i'd been doing it for years, but there's no comparison. That stuff sucks. Get the Clamato and mix your own and give it a try. The only drawback is that it's so good I tend to drink more than I should sometimes.
