probly nobody- I mean, nothing.

"Amen brother!"..Bulldogman, 1922

hmmm...how many exclamation points did you use?..i'm gonna say happy birthday again and use one more...

reminds me of a long forgotten story- many years ago, another driver at H.H.Moore's ordered one of those above ground swimming pools from Sears and Roebuck. Top of the line unit, for a Sears above ground pool- 4 feet deep, and pretty big. When it came in, him and I went to the Sears place in Appomattox in a company pickup to get it and take it to his house. I was gonna take the pool and him to his house and bring the pickup back to the shop. We loaded it up at Sears, the whole thing was in a giant cardboard box, and I took off and the box landed in the middle of the road- slid right out the back. I don't know who forgot to close the tailgate...backed up to it, reloaded it, and took off again. He didn't have much to say the rest of the trip, but it didn't hurt the pool at all. He was highly pissed off anyway. It took about 10 billion screws to put it all together and I was supposed to help him screw screws the next day, but I didn't.

Like the bird flu, swine flu,and jackass flu. I think they just try to come up with stuff to cause people to panic, so they'll need the gummint to protect them. I've never gotten a flu vaccine, and don't intend to- I just don't trust it. When I die, it'll be because that was God's plan. And as far as the Newtown shootings go, that was exactly what they wanted- something like that to happen, so Joe Biden could say "America has changed on this issue...There is a moral price to be paid for inaction". Inaction meaning not having more gun control laws of course.

Holy mackle!.. you mean we can be up to all sorts of shenanigans here and you won't even notice for weeks?.. Who knew?..

me neither.

me too.

You're absolutely right about that.

Breaking news- Hank's Truck Pictures photo used on facebook, poster busted by Hank himself! Hank Suderman commented on a photo. Options Allen Bumgarner Unlike · · Share · Wednesday at 7:22pm · You and 3 others like this. Allen Bumgarner Cliff would you drive for this outfit lol!!!!Wednesday at 7:25pm · Like Hank Suderman Is there a reason why you covered up the photographer's name on the picture. It was there for a purpose.20 minutes ago ·He should have at least given the photographer credit instead of blurring it out, Hank probably wouldn't have minded. I have used Hank's pictures here before, thought it was OK, but all his pictures say "Do not post on Facebook"...I won't even post them here anymore without written permission...like that's gonna happen.

naw, this picture was taken in '79, it's original paint. Seen a lot of IH's striped like this,very popular style back then.

silicone spray works good instead of ether too, as I learned from randyp.

Too bad it was all a dream... oh well, it's time to go snowmobiling anyway!

.

I like it- never seen an F model striped like that, it's just like a '74 Transtar I drove.

This is the second week in a row that I didn't get a load on Thursday. Hope I load something today to leave Sunday with. It's sleeting here now. Last week I didn't get out until Monday, when I went to Petersburg and got another load of beams going to Neville Island. I did see a big red Mack in McKees Rocks backing into door number 2 though. And a blue Mack was across the street. Saw a yellow truck too, working at the 70/79 interchange in Washington, Pa. The red wrecker at Fairmont's still sitting there. Took 5 coils from Handy in Lynchburg down to Greensboro and unloaded at this place yesterday morning. I've to get out of that gate...kind of a tight spot, especially since that white SUV over there had to park 2 feet from the door...probably the boss's car. I went inside and got them to move the Freightliner box truck, and made it out with inches to spare, without knocking the fence down or hitting anything important. Looks like an old cigarette factory here... Went from there to Lexington and picked up a load of 10x12 16' lumber and unloaded them at the mat making place in Long Island yesterday evening. They had several of these Barko 275A knuckle booms in Lexington, these are the same as Westvaco used at the Buckingham woodyard to load pulpwood. Those are self propelled units, where this one here needs a truck to move it around- They had lots of lumber there too. Pretty good looking IH car hauler at the junkyard between here and Long Island. I parked beside a Peterbilt when I got in. ...and of course I had to go through Winfall on the way to the shop Monday. Saw all this destruction in the downtown area- apparently this pedestrian brushed against the Winfall sign and knocked it over! He should be walking closer to the road with his girlfriend in the ditch anyway, like a gentleman! Winfall may never be the same after this. oh...never mind, everything looked fine again yesterday.

I'll look to see how many Crayolas I can find now...I ate right many of them.

I am on the road,in Greensboro,N.C. playing with a laptop,courtesy of Lowes' free wifi. I'll have to wait until I get home for a Winfall birthday greeting but by then it'll be old news,Vinny will be older and wiser,and moved on to other things.

so,uhhh....you sure you don't want me to try to come up with something...be glad to.

Happy birthday Vinny!

I'm with you on that! You couldn't have said it any better!

there, happy now? Geez, you movie star types can be difficult to work with! Now nocluejoe66 will be mad because his part was cut. He can be Enos I guess.

I'm going over to the Winfall Savings Loan Feed and Truckstop and fuel up today. .

ditto to all the above.
