  1. naw, but if i'd had any chains with me i'd have put them on when I got on rt. 60 yesterday!
  2. I made two trips to Pa. this week. First I went to Boyers, which is near the middle of nowhere...also near Slippery Rock-sort of. You turn off of rt. 8 onto some other road, go 5 or 6 miles, then turn into a dirt driveway and go back in the woods about 3/4 mile... Looks like you're going to nowhere, then finally you see something. That's the place- gotta pull down towards that dumpster, back around the front of the building, head back out, then back up in front of the door by the dumpster. It was quite chilly in Boyers too.I was not going that fast down their driveway by the way, I was on I-79 here. Now I gotta see if I can make it back up this hill empty. Yup...made it to the highway! Got to go to Greenville and pick up some roll off dumpsters going to Richmond. Heading to Richmond. Some big Mack trucks at S.B.Cox in Richmond. V8 Superliner. 39 baby Mack? Unloading the dumpsters. Then I went to the shop and got a load of crane mats going to Evans City, Pa. Took them right across the road from where I got the overweight ticket a while back. Then headed to McKees Rocks to get a load of steel going back to Lynchburg. It was snowing when I left McKees Rocks, but the road was pretty good down 79 and 19. I decided not to take 39 and 20 from Summersville to Charmco, thought maybe 60 would be better...huge mistake- 60 was horrible all the way to Rainelle. I was spinning trying to get up some hills but I got my pire divider locked in before I started up the mountain, and made it across...smoked 3 packs of cigarettes, and they had to put a new seat in the truck today, but I made it, and didn't throw any tracks off. Finally got to I-64, should be smooth sailing n...never mind. Maybe 220 will be better...not! Unloaded and reloaded in Lynchburg this morning, the mountains are pretty,eh? The two highest ones at the far left are the Peaks of Otter, near Bedford. Liberty University sign on Liberty Mountain. The snow report, and dog feet- Snow on the back porch. Passed through Winfall on the way home of course, but I didn't see anything unusual. Nothing out of the ordinary to be seen in Gladys either.
  3. Amen brother!..Bulldogman,1987.
  4. Amen brother!
  5. Maybe he'll change his mind and want to be a Virginia Tech Hokie!
  6. Kind of boring today, nothing going on. I even rode over to Winfall, but didn't see anything over there either.
  7. yessir, used to fuel there on the Boston runs- ain't been there for years.
  8. nice!
  9. However, in the "overall hotness" category the one one the right is off the chart!..just my opinion.
  10. mine too.
  11. I always grabbed brochures from Goodman Truck and Tractor in Amelia, Va. when I was a kid too. They were the local IH dealer...too bad I have no idea what happened to any of them. Still have a bunch of 60's baseball cards though.
  12. I remember when we used to put diesel fuel in a sprayer and spraying the inside of chip trailers so the chips wouldn't freeze to the sides and stick. Westvaco didn't approve of the practice though, and if they stuck i'd take them back to the woodyard. I wasn't going to get in there and dig with a shovel and grubbing hoe then get back in the back of the line, I got paid by the load anyway.
  13. just some roofies.
  14. .
  15. I didn't see anything in Winfall, but I did see a couple of poorly photo-chopped girls playing in the water in Norfolk.
  16. Professional logger, exavater, digger, hog hunter,...the list goes on and on.
  17. The p is for "professional".
  18. Not a Pitts girl, but she was at a forestry equipment show.
  19. actually, she's still in the back yard passed out on the picnic table- maybe I should go check on her...been there 6 days now. yeah, better check.
  20. Thank you Mike.
  21. Or "birds and boats of the week" is more like it. I went to Warren, Ohio first of the week, then took a load down to Powells Point, N.C, then went up to load in Norfolk, where I had to wait several hours while they loaded another truck. Got there around 10am and left a 4pm. Took lots of pictures of tug boats passing by while I was waiting. Saw a U model in "Auction Time." New River at Sandstone,W.V. I got out one more corner protector than I needed in McKees Rocks, and set it right there to put it back in the tool box, but I forgot. It was still right there when I got to Lynchburg. Cabover KW in Crewe,Va. Saw a monster truck where I unloaded in N.C. ...and a blurry one on the side of the road- And the home of the "Grave Digger" monster truck. A chrome diner. Some good looking old units. Now, a brief intermission... Saw lots of dump ducks-I mean gulls, on the ground in Norfolk. And gulls in the air. A mighty ship on the ocean. Lots of tugboats. Better raise the drawbridge for this one. No. 59 on the other side of the bridge. On the way to where I loaded- Load of scaffold equipment I picked up.
  22. Truck World in Hubbard, Ohio. Stopped there Tuesday.
  23. Pitts trailers had a slogan "you're ahead with a Pitts behind" and had girls wearing flannel shirts and cut off blue jean shorts in their ads. Couldn't find a picture. H.H.Moore had some Pitts log trailers, amongst other brands.
  24. especially the one coming with the snapper...or the one with the snapper coming
