other dog

that's pretty much his usual position except when he goes outside. He's storing up energy in case he has to attack intruders intruders or chase a rabbit. He's the best dog I ever had. He's getting pretty old but when I come home after i've been gone for several days he still zooms around like a young pup.

I came home today and kicked my boots off and put my slippers on. I had a load of lumber in Moneta but I got in too late to go load it. I unloaded some rail sections in Richmond today and didn't get unloaded until after lunch. Unloaded it with a knuckle boom, one piece at a time. I was gonna put these pictures up a while ago but it took me a long time to get to the top of the Odds and Ends page- had to read the new stuff first. Some laugh out loud funny stuff there, especially the IRS dog and ebonics replies. Oh, the pictures- if randyp had signs like this on his motor grader he could hear. if randyp had a reach this long he could stay on the bank and dig out a pond. You can go here in Jane Lew, W.V. and get a Mack or a KW,or one of each, at the same place. I saw this at Alta,W.V. Not a Mack but it brings back memories,eh? Old cabover White, chains on the lumber instead of straps...pretty cool. Not a Mack either- This is a Mack, looking good too! Old Bill sent me a really nice genuine Australian Mack hat, and the Toronto Police cap.

Amen brother! (bulldogman) ...And a sense of humor is a must-have these days, or you'll just go crazy worrying about things you have no control over.

That's ol' "Hump Hound"- he's uploading and installing-funniest thing I ever seen! It did remind me of Spot- I'd like to have one but I use turbo tax.

When I went to work for H.H.Moore in 1979 I was hauling chips to Covington from Dillwyn,Va. for Westvaco. There was an older fellow there called "hard rock" and he told me once that they sent some trucks up to Rupert,W.V. one winter to haul off of the Westvaco wood yard there. That's the yard Burns hauls from. He said one night it got so cold that every truck they had up there quit running during the night, even with them idled up, except for one- that was the one truck they had with a 318 Detroit in it, the rest were Cummins. Hard Rock said they got some fuel conditioner from Burns,he didn't know what it was, "some stuff they had in a barrell" and they didn't have any more trouble. None of Burns' trucks ever quit either and they were making fun of H.H.'s drivers for "bringing those Internationals up there to do a Mack's job".

I don't think Spot would do that, but Randy said sometimes the pool water has a yellowish tint after Spot dives in.

this picture may be offensive to some folks- I would advise everyone to not look at it.

that's what I usually do but I was thinking "the wal-mart sto" for some reason today.

you cain't get a haircut at NAPA!..or plants...sugar...or the 2 new bras Jo got.

uh-oh, party crasher!

yeah, I coulda loaded 15 or 20 more but I didn't have enough chains.

I put a nice beast roast with some potatoes,onion,carrots, and a can of mushroom soup in the crock pot this morning- no pink slime though. Then I went over to "the Wal-Mart Sto' ". That's what I wrote on the check, just to see if they'd notice. They didn't. Got a haircut, some onion sets, and some cabbage and broccoli plants. I was sitting on a bench in front of the haircut getting place while I waited, just watching the "people of Wal-Mart". Man, you sure see a lot of strange looking characters in that place. Should have taken my phone and taken pictures, but i'm not that bold. They probably thought I was a freak too. Then we came home and I changed oil in the pickup, ran the tiller through the garden,planted some onions, a few Yukon Gold potatoes, and the cabbage and broccoli. Now i'm goofing off, which is my usual Saturday routine. I'm headed for Latrobe with a load of lumber tomorrow.

I'm gonna google her to see if she shows any boobage. nobody's said boobage all day.

no, Spot is bad-ass! This is not really Spot though, it's an actor dog hired to be Spot's stunt double. This is the real Spot-

..."i'm a man of wealth and taste"...Rolling Stones, Sympathy For The Devil. I've seen some B-pickups at truck shows.

I used to watch this tv show about a moose when I was a young lad.

no, Randy had to put duals on it when he changed the engine so it would fly straight. Iffen he hadn't it would only go around in circles because of the uneven wind resistance caused by the stack and breather on the one side. Same thing happens when Spot sticks his head out the window.

I remember that- here's another picture rerun. I had to turn it around because Rob said I had the propellor rotating the wrong way in the first picture.

that's a rerun of an old picture posted a long time ago, so it doesn't count. I seldom delete pictures i've altered just in case they need re-running.

.

I got a usb cord with my phone but i've never tried putting pictures on the computer with it, I just do like justincase said and e-mail them to myself. Besides, I keep my camera laying in the passenger seat where I can grab it easily.

Naw, you're probably ok.

Found these when I was looking for the big musky bucket picture.

Great picture takin' job. I was looking for a picture of the "Big Musky" bucket I had, but I must have deleted it. It's in Ohio and the bucket is all that's left of what was once the world's largest dragline. I did find this one though...

I put the Pete in there just because you don't see many cabovers anymore, and the KW is kinda odd looking...OK, it's real odd looking. There's hundreds of trucks like these -maybe thousands even- all over Ohio, W.V. and Pa. now. Lots of Macks too. They're fracking around, looking for that fracking natural gas. I don't know if the KW belongs to a fracking outfit but it looks like it probably does, it was very heavy-duty. It was parked at the Go-Mart in Fairplain, near the fine looking red and black B-model..
