They used the same cab as the Astro, they did look a little odd.
-
The 345 and 392's were both good engines, a real truck engine that was built to last 200,000 miles or more. That's a good looking unit, not even a tear in the seat.

Cleaning out Trailer Spring Rummage Sale starts today
other dog replied to Superdog's topic in Odds and Ends
I remember way back when...a long, long, time ago when Vinny didn't want anything to do with girls at all- a year or so ago maybe? We all knew the day would come when all that changed! -
yeah, it was the cheap stuff, I didn't have any Gorilla tape at the time. I generally used it to put over any sharp pieces of steel that might cut my tarp. It wouldn't stand the pressure of that C-15 Cat. Gorilla tape is so strong i've used it to patch holes in my tarps. Got a roll of 4'' wide duct tape too that I bought in Hubbard.

Thank you.
-
yeah, I almost am.

Happy birthday blackdog2!

Those are great! Old Bill sent me a wooden Peterbilt that looks good, but it's flat, to hang on the wall. These models are the cat's ass, as Larry Wales would say. Look at the detail on the knuckleboom, and the side kit trailers, and the rock truck...holy hamburgers!
-
Lot of pressure on that sucker. I had a turbo hose split on that Peterbilt one time when I was climbing Powell Mountain. Sounded like a cannon. I pulled over and got the duct tape out...wrapped it until it was big as a stove pipe. Jumped in, took off, and everything was fine- for about 47 feet, when it blew out again. Another driver stopped and happened to have a spare one that he gave me. I always carried a spare hose and clamps after that.

I did the same thing some years ago when I had a broken spring on a trailer. Had a load of lumber on, and jacked it up in the truckstop parking lot in Harrisburg, Pa. Stuck a 4x4 between the axle and frame rail and drove on to the yard in Appomattox.

...and with all those acorns the squirrels still eat every single peach, pear, and apple off the trees. Don't even let them get ripe before they eat them.The deer in the picture is eating peaches off the ground, the squirrels eat them right off the tree.
-
I'm surrounded by oak trees, acorns everywhere. Got a big hickory tree in the front yard too, but there's probably not a squirrel, rabbit, or deer within 50 miles of here with Otherdog on the job.
-
...and yes Vinny, I already ate one indent but i'll send you the other one- It was the best part!
-
Thank you everyone, thank you very much indeed!

Breaking: Mack Breaks Free!

all the "girls in Winfall" pictures are real too. -
Ha-ha, dammit, that's a good one Jay- i'd use up all my likes on this one post if I could.

Sign at McDonald's in Winfall-

me too, I remember putting a caption on the picture with the kid running towards the truck. Think Rob might have posted it originally, or was interested in buying it.
-
yep, that's where it was- were you spying on me? They told Randy ( dispatcher Randy, not randyp ) to tell me to take 48 north to 130 west to get there, so that's what I did. I didn't know what the deal with the Westinghouse bridge was. We used to cross it when we loaded at Nextech in Keystone Commons years ago, this was the first time i'd been down in there for a long time. First time i'd been all the way across 30 from Pittsburgh to Bedford in a long time too. That first mountain you pull must be 40 or 50 miles to the top.
-
...and there was this girl in West Virginia that jumped on the truck and started cleaning the windshield- I told her to pound sand.
-
Thank you very much indeed- those coils weighed 19,000+ lbs. each, so I used 3 chains. The 5 coil load weighed 46,000+, I criss-crossed 2 chains in the front coil, then put a chain and a strap through the rest of them. Better to have a chain too many than not enough chains I always say. The strap is kind of redundant on the 5 coil load, you can't haul steel with straps, but it's an extra tie down and it only takes a minute to throw a strap through them.
-
Got a jar of it in the fridge now. what's left of it that is, it's almost empty. They sell it at Long Mountain Grocery in Rustburg.

I am a long time fan of ZZ Top, and hot sauce, so when I saw Billy Gibbons' hot sauce and barbecue sauce advertised on his website I ordered a few bottles. I read an article about ZZ Top in a magazine years ago and it said Billy Gibbons carried a bottle of Tabasco sauce with him all the time, put it on everything. It might seem odd for me to order hot sauce since I made my own, especially when the shipping cost more than the sauce, but this is really good- way better than that crap I almost as good as mine. Best "store bought" hot sauce I ever tasted anyway.

It was dark when I came through Winfall last night. However, I did go to the Winfall barber shop and got a haircut this morning.

I've seen those too, here's a drive-by I once took.
