  1. I don't think so, last time I was there was the White Bash. Y'all got a lot more stuff since then,i'm hoping to get back this summer. I think nocluejoe66 might come up this summer sometime, he wants to go too.
  2. Today is Jo's birthday and I wanted to take her somewhere really nice, so we rode over to the flea market at New London. Found these brand new Rocky steel toe work boots in my size. I didn't really need them but I got them at a good price, less than half new price, so I went ahead and bought them. I've never bought used boots before but the seller said the company he used to work for paid for them and he retired and never wore them. Got them for $65. I got this 9000 Ford NAPA truck too, but Jo had to pay for it because I spent all my money on boots...and a drill bit... and some duct tape...and a bottle of honey. It was $9. She got a 50lb. bag of cereal yesterday though, apparently she can't get enough of that super sugar crisp- it keeps her going strong.
  3. I saw a Brockway like that once.
  4. Me neither, seen red ones, and I can look out the window and see gray ones, but i'd never seen or heard of a black squirrel before.
  5. He had one good song, Born to Run. I've seen ZZ Top in concert 4 times, with Grand Funk, the Black Crowes, the Screaming Cheeta Wheelies- or something like that- and Lynard Skynard. But the one I missed and wish i'd gone to was when they had a concert in Roanoke with George Thorogood.
  6. Thanks Ed, I keep some of them, but never thought of doing that.
  7. I didn't even see any good ole boys drinking whiskey and rye. The levee was indeed dry.
  8. Don't know what's in it, but if it's at Art Reed's it's for sale. Except maybe the R model, that's what he retrieves equipment with.
  9. Early this week, because I had to abort my last mission and return to headquarters. I was on the way to New Castle, Pa. yesterday with a load of lumber when an air bag on the truck suffered catastrophic failure. I turned around at Charmco and dropped the trailer at Burns Motor Freight's yard at Sam Black Church and bobtailed back. Had a load of coils to pick up at Lane Steel in McKees Rocks coming back to Lynchburg too. Really nice people there at Burns. They even disconnected the air lines going to the bad air bag and put a coupling in it for me so the other three would still hold everything up. I took a couple of secret spy photos while I was there- Nice DM here. Had a Quadruplex in it, used to be a dump truck. I went to Brewster, Ohio to the Brewster levee with a load of beams too. I was on the look-out for Bighorns and U models but I didn't see any. I did see lots of wild aminals. I saw an elephant. A rabbit. A black prairie dawg. A black squirrel. A black bird. A red dog riding shotgun. A rhinoceros. Narrow road to the levee. End of the line. Got my doors blown clean off by a well lit bull wagon. Gauley Bridge, West Virginia. A waterfall. The Gauley River hydro station. The big green thing- looks like it's been painted recently. That's Rainelle down there- ...where this IH fire truck is for sale. Art Reed's R model, and a General mixer. Nice little load of logs. Bugs...they mess up a lot of pictures...stupid bugs.
  10. Welcome, Extra Small!
  11. I see the rpm range is marked too.
  12. ...or- "my check engine light is on- says it's low on water, what should I do?" " just put some water in the radiator, dumb ass!" "oh, ok-that sounds easy enough"
  13. Maybe your cattywompus needs adjusting too.
  14. I got nothing this week, except a blurry Bighorn...and this blurry Superliner dump truck i've posted several times before- The bridge in Steubenville, Ohio with blue lights on it, but the windshield is covered with bugs. Trucks at Tucker Equipment in Lisbon, Ohio. I'll just get some random pictures from the interweb machine- An early picture of the Beatles, when they were still a five man band. They decided the xylophone just didn't fit their style, so they fired the xylophone player and immediately became rich and famous. An early picture of the Rolling Stones. They decided they didn't need a xylophone player if the Beatles didn't, so they fired him and became rich and famous. The xylophone player was not discouraged however, he gave up his music career and moved to Hollywood where he appeared in many motion pictures, and became rich and famous. The end.
  15. Yep, that one was at Winchester in '06 or '7, but I haven't seen it since.
  16. More Dodges i've seen at ATHS shows in Troutman, N.C, Lincolnton, N.C, and Winchester, Va. These were just super sharp looking-
  17. I wasn't looking forward to riding that bicycle up there. I'd have to run Hawk's Nest because I don't think I could maintain the minimum speed pedaling up Sandstone Mountain.
  18. ha-ha, told you I saw Bighorn! Thanks for co-robber rating my story Larry, I thought you might know of it, I saw it between Canton and Newcomerstown.
  19. It is, it is!..now i'm gonna have to ride my bicycle back to Ohio and camp out on an overpass until I see it again and get a good picture of it. Saw a nice looking cabover KW at Fairplain, W.V. too. Got a decent picture of that except for the windshield being dirty.
  20. I saw a Superliner in Fairplain, West Virginia yesterday.
  21. The picture is terrible, but that's what it is. Saw it hauling logs on I-77 in Ohio yesterday. By the time I saw it and got my camera out it was too late to get a picture out of the windshield so I went for the side glass, and that's the hardest picture to get. It was going north at 70 mph, I was going south at 70 mph, and it was raining too. That's all my excuses, until I think of more. I've seen them before hauling those long logs, maybe i'll see it again and get a better picture. I think there's two of them, but i'm not sure.
  22. ...and of course there's no restrictions on how long they can drive either. They can leave northern Idaho after they get off work and drive straight to sunny south Florida without a break if they want to,
  23. I think it's a girl Vlad, but i'm not sure- thought it was a leopard crossing the street at first.
  24. That one in Harrisonburg looks like one i've met on rt. 259 north of Broadway several times, never been able to get a picture of it because it always caught me by surprise.
  25. Jeff and Todd Moore were there somewhere. Jeff was very impressed with a Rawhide he saw and sat in, now he's getting a price on one. He really liked the interior. I told him before what a good looking truck they were. I said "that 505 hp. with an 18 speed is a fine ride" and he said "the one I looked at had the M-drive". I'll compromise, maybe Barry can give him a better price than Roanoke on a 485hp. with a 13 speed- i'd drive that. Guess i'd drive an M- drive too if he got one, but I doubt if he'll buy anything now. The KW i'm driving now has less than 300,000 miles on it, and it's been a pretty good truck.
