other dog

Thanks Bob, I had to do away with the Pete picture due to negative public opinion!

I like 'em! Nice background, where were those taken?

Talk Jeff into buying a Mack and i'll be glad to drive it. Send him a brochure- put the pressure on him!

Not Johnny, but not bad- Married couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the baby's father. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it. The doctor set the pain transfer to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. However, as the labor progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and kick it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% transfer. The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this point, they decided to try for 50%. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since the pain transfer was obviously helping out the wife considerably, the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic. When they got home, the mailman was dead on the porch...

ha-ha, i'm special, you're not.

I have these old, rusty, or working trucks in larger sizes.

oh...a Swishy calendar!

I used to carry a trash bag with arm and neck holes cut out, works good, looks a little strange.

made a national publication I see. He's prolly all over drag racing magazines, but I saw his truck in the "Wheels of Time" extra magazine "Show Time" featuring all the trucks at the ATHS National Convention. Haven't finished looking at it yet, maybe i'll see other members. Maybe i'll take a better picture tomorrow too.

no I won't ...i'm outa' here!

flat beddin'...sometimes you gotta load in the rain, get soaking wet strapping a load of lumber down. So, why don't you get a rain suit, dumbass? Well, actually I have a rain suit- I put the coat on, but i'm too lazy to put the pants on because they're a pain in the ass. So all the water runs down and soaks my jeans worse than if I hadn't put the coat on in the first place. More train wheels- the return load in Sharon won't be ready until Tuesday, so they're sitting. Maybe i'll take them after I take the lumber to Alliance, Ohio. I went to Middlefield, Ohio with a load of lumber Wednesday, and all I saw was this Laidlaw truck.

I signed in to AOL, Yahoo, G-mail, hot mail, checked all my e-mails- nothing. That tells me i'm being shunned, so as i've said many times before, this is the last you'll hear of ol' other dog. So long everybody...bye...snifff....

We haven't even heard from Paul Van Scott for a long time.

if you're going with a 300 or 300 plus you could try to find a 6 speed- you'd still have 2 sticks and it would probably survive the torque load.

They do look great, I like that B-model heavy hauler- how about a Swishy calendar?

I do indeed have all the above. I delivered the train wheels today, and the dock was broken so they unloaded them from the rear of the trailer outside, one at a time. I had to roll all those axles to the back of the trailer, uphill. Then they reloaded me the same way- set one axle on the rear and I had to roll it to the front, uphill.

Lot of good pictures there, Swishy's second one is really good, so is ajt's, and 220 cummins, and bobo's, and...

I have a b.s. degree too ,but i'm self taught in b.s.-ing.

The only Chrysler product I ever had was a '76 3/4 ton pickup. It had a 360 engine with a bigger cam, Edelbrock intake, Holley carb. Got about 9 mpg, but I paid only $500 for it. Used to go to the woodyard and cut a load of firewood and load that old Dodge up even with the top of the cab and it didn't know it was loaded. I sold it and bought a '71 Ford pickup with a 351, 2 bbl. carb, 3 speed. Turned out it got about 9 mpg. too, and throw 3 sticks of firewood in the back and the bumper was dragging the ground.

A kindergarten class was assigned to find out about something exciting & tell the class the next day. Little Johnny made a small white dot on the blackboard & sat back down. Puzzled, the teacher asked him just what it was. "It's a period,'' he said. "Well, I can see that,'' she said ''but what is so exciting about a period?'' ''Damned if I know,'' said little Johnny, ''but this morning my sister was missing one, Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy fainted, and the man next door shot himself"

All the Morbark chippers at the Westvaco woodyards used to have 12V-71's on them, then they started using 600hp. Cummins engines. They'd sit there and grind up sticks of pulpwood all day every day.

no, that stuff is supposed to be there- it protects the axle. actually, we're not even allowed to wash trucks at the shop. we have to go to a truck wash to get them washed, and they only hit the outside.

Well...actually that subject is too controversial...and I can't delete it...everybody expects something...oh, I know what i'll do- I went to the shop today to leave on a routine mission delivering a load of train wheels to Sharon, Pa. This load that's back behind the other trailer! Noticed a puddle of unknow fluid under the truck, which I later determined to be coolant. Further investigation turned up a line from the air compressor that was leaking, which caused the puddle to form on the ground. So I called Jeff, and he said he'd get Jimmy to fix it in the morning and to just leave tomorrow with the train wheels. That's OK with me, we left there peeling rubber in the Ford Ranger headed home- Jo was driving of course. Stopped at the store in Rustburg on the way home and I took a picture of a Western Star with a load of pulp wood that was parked there. I cooked a boston butt yesterday in the smoker, figured i'd have some good ol' pulled pork barbecue sammiches this week. Put some on a plate for Jo too, I took all the rest of it.

reminds me of the first time I went to the dragstrip in Suffolk, Va. in the '70's. I saw 2 '66 or '67 ChevyII's running in the 11 second range- with 6 cylinder engines. Probably not a big deal now, i've heard rumors of 9 second rice burners on the street now, but I was impressed at the time. I remember a solid black Corvette too, about the same year as the Novas, that had a big old 6 cylinder GMC truck engine in it running about a 10 flat.
