other dog

very interesting, thanks!

Thanks Bob, i'm gonna make some shish kabobs today, soon's it warms up some. The blue truck might be, i'm sure randyp would know for sure.

97 here now, supposed to get to 104, the weather network says with the humidity it'll feel like 117. Shouldn't have mentioned my good looking garden, it's just gone, burned up. Had a good onion crop, still got hot peppers.Maybe I should only plant peppers. update- the thermometer on the back porch says it's 104 now, and it's in the shade. That weather network is out of Canada and it's usually more accurate than the paper or tv,and it's a free download.

yeah, if there's one thing that's obvious in the picture it's that these men are highly trained buffessionals.

a bow saw was the cat's ass for cutting pulpwood, they wouldn't get pinched as easy as a straight bar, and you could set them prongs on the ground and cut with one hand while peeing with the other. I don't think you can get them anymore for safety reasons, they were bad for kickback.

they're all wearing protective head gear 'cept that one in the middle- he must be the boss/truckdriver, just holding the saw for this publicity photo.

it's been hot all right. Had to get in the truck and cool off a while while I was chaining down and tarping today in McKees Rocks. I was thinking about going to the tractor pull in Gladys tomorrow, but it's supposed to be even hotter so I probably won't go.

I heard International and Mack were going to merge. They're gonna call the trucks "Corndogs". Don't know if it's true or not.

Pretty pathetic compared to Heavygunner's- not many kodiakatronomical opportunities this week. All I saw was another smoking Mack- coulda been a U-model...but it was prolly a DM. A home in West Virginia destroyed by a tree. This was not from last Friday's storm, I first saw this a couple of weeks ago. The switch trucks at the Westvaco woodyard in Rupert. The Autocar looks like the same one they had at the Buckingham yard that I used to haul from, except it was red then. empty Burns' log trailers Some pulpwood cutters

...and I hope their binness increases 10 fold.

I've driven about everything but a Brockway, Autocar, and Volvo. But just going by looks, the highbinder IH just looks bad-ass! That's nocluejoe looking at this one. I like these 860 GMC's too. This is the favorite of trucks i've driven.

I cut up a tree that the storm blew down in my son's back yard in Pamplin. Back to work today.

oh.

M.F.E.D. hmmmmmm....wonder what that means?..i'd better google it, might be sumptin' impotent.

Thanks Vlad!

you are the MAN!

yeah Mark, i've cashed your check and bought ribs and beer with the money. Sorry about the no refund policy I explained at the auction, but- again, due to circumstances beyond my control, you might encounter some "difficulty" retrieving the items you purchased- that's why I encouraged everyone to pick up any items purchased ASAP, and between 1 and 4 am.

well, ha-ha, my thumbs are...damn!.. only an inch and a quarter long...ruler must be defective...catch you later...

I've probably mentioned my gas stove smoker before...anyway, you can use an old discarded gas or electric range as a smoker too, and they work great. you need an electric range with a drawer in the bottom, and you have to get all the insulation out of the bottom that's between the drawer and the bottom of the oven. then drill some holes around the edges all the way through, and some in the center part too, but not straight through from top to bottom, so no flames get into the oven and burn your meat. just get something to hold charcoal and wood to put in the drawer, put your meat in the oven, and smoke away. An old gas stove is much easier- it's ready to go "as is", you don't have any insulation to remove or holes to drill. The only disadvantage of the gas model is that it only has a small tray in the bottom for the charcoal, I have to add a little wood about every 30 minutes. And, an old stove sitting on cinder blocks in the back yard might not fit in with the decor, especially to the wife, but they do make excellent smokers. I've even smoked whole turkeys in mine, for myself and other people.

low and slow,it's the way to go when it comes to barbecuing. the oven does work just as well after you smoke them that long. after you wrap them in foil on the grill they've smoked all they're gonna smoke by then anyway.
