  1. thank you, we do love pictures, especially old ones.
  2. I saw this one at Lowe's in Greensburg Tuesday.
  3. that's just ridiculous. by the way, here's a tractor picture I found.
  4. Rob started this as an experiment to see how many replies a post about absolutely nothing got and how many directions it would take. Just part of the modulating job. Too bad I can't post this other fish picture...
  5. I like the body that's standing on that tractor tire. But Hatcity's got the right idea- paint it like a state truck with a big yellow light on top and put a snow plow on it. Then when the DOT man stops you and says "who are you trying to fool? there's no snow on the road- we average a half inch of snow every 10 years around here!" Then you say "yeah, i'm doing a hell of a job ain't I ?" Then he'll say "have a nice day sir" and leave you alone.
  6. I was long gone by then. I was there between 11 and 11:30, got fuel and went over to Sharon Coatings to load.
  7. Here's a slightly bigger picture, i've already resized the original down to screen size on my computer.
  8. I saw this when I was looking for a "rotten fish" picture and had to check it out. And people actually eat it? And like it? They say "once you get past the smell... Surströmming From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Opened can of surströmming in brine. Surströmming (pronounced [sʉ̌ːʂtrœmːɪŋ], Swedish "soured (Baltic) herring") is a northern Swedish dish consisting of fermented Baltic herring. Surströmming is sold in cans, which often bulge during shipping and storage, due to the continued fermentation. When opened, the contents release a strong and sometimes overwhelming odor, which explains why the dish is often eaten outdoors. A Japanese study has shown that the smell of a newly opened can of surströmming is the most putrid smell of food in the world, beating similar fermented fish dishes such as the Korean Hongeohoe or Japanese Kusaya.[1]
  9. that's exactly right. Like the treated lumber we haul now- they want us to drop our rates to the same thing TMC gets. They haul it from Va. to Toledo, Oh. for $525 to the truck and that's ridiculous! That would only pay me $131.25 and I get $206 and change to go to the Akron/Canton area now. The thing is, they always have the weight on the bills as between 44 and 46,000lbs. but the last load I weighed, just last Monday or Tuesday, I had over 51,000lbs. on so they already get a good bit hauled for nothing. I've hauled loads that I know were heavier that I didn't weigh so about every 6 or 8 loads they basically getting a load hauled for free. I've weighed 3 loads of it lately, one was over 81,000 and the other 2 were almost 84,000. If they increase the weight limit they'll want to add a couple more packs of lumber to the loads for the same rate. Went up Sandstone in 6th. gear @18mph. with a heavy one I didn't weigh. Keeps on like that we'll need a push truck up there since I don't drive a big truck ( Peterbilt )anymore.
  10. I found it. It's these fish.
  11. that's why I hate advance auto parts. if it's not in their computer it does not exist to them. they have no clue how to measure a belt and find you one that fits your 1967 Schnortzendeigerville station wagon because it's not in their computer, even though the same belt fits a '98 Grand Riggerbeeter Supreme pickup and they have 10 of them on the shelf.
  12. yeah! thanks for you support...check's in the mail.
  13. they're special built boots aren't they- big enough at the top to put the sheep's hind legs in so they cain't get away? I've heard of them but never seen a pair around here. Sheep are kinda rare around these parts anyway.
  14. I said I'll be driving a red anteater, ok?
  15. I might be at Truckworld by then, can't say. I'll be driving a red anteater.
  16. I've heard the same thing about bulldogs. We had a cat once and I named it 400, Jeff Moore had already named their cat 380.
  17. .
  18. I suspect that he suspects that you suspect that he's a tool. you should just go give him a hug.
  19. Me too, it does look real! Thanks for joining. That's amazing- I have trouble putting a stamp on an envelope by myself.
  20. that's no way to be talkin' 'bout your new brother in law. you should go apoligize to him immediately for thinking he's a tool, even if he didn't know you think he's a tool.
  21. Auctions are fun to go to, even though I haven't been to one for years. I've been to estate auctions and watched people bid on a shovel- an ordinary plain old shovel, not one that was once owned by John Wayne or anything, just a shovel- and end up bidding twice what they could have went to Appomattox Hardware and bought a new one for. And on the other hand, my son-in-law once bought a nice 12 or 14 foot jon boat for a hundred dollars.
  22. Oh absolutely. I think I liked looking through the stuff as much as he did.
