  1. I was looking around for midget clown porn and found this site purely by accident. Lots of truck pictures and interesting stuff here- http://www.roadtransport.com/blogs/big-lorry-blog/
  2. Seems Rob was right,everybody's having a birthday this year. Have a good one Barry!
  3. I was driving-well,steering anyway- a Farmall C tractor before I even started school. All I had to do was drive between 2 rows of hay bales while Dad and my grandfather loaded the wagon,then Dad would jump on at the end of the field and get me pointed back up between the next 2 rows. So being around tractors and farm equipment all my life,I knew how dangerous it could be.But my last year of high school I only had 2 classes in the morning,then i'd go home and help daddy on the farm. I was picking corn one day,had a mounted cornpicker on a 5000 Ford tractor. There was a set of rollers that went up behind you and a fan-the rollers shucked the corn, most of it that is, and the fan would blow the shucks off to the side. A corn picker is very dangerous, there are many things that can grab you, and I knew to always turn it off before you do anything. So I knew better than to reach behind me and clear the shucks away that had packed up in the chute with it running but I did it anyway. Something caught the end of the sleeve of my jacket-and pulled the whole sleeve off. If it had been a better jacket that the sleeve didn't come off of it would have been disastrous. It scared the hell out of me. I took what was left of the jacket way down in the woods and threw it away and never told anyone.
  4. they keep getting better-slightly-but that's funny right there!
  5. Thank you very much indeed!
  6. I remember that song,I had a tape with that song,and one called "Damned DOT" I think. Seems to me it was Jake Brake and the All Trucker Band-might be on youtube or something.
  7. That's the "Boomer", a 50hp. tractor. I've seen a few sitting on dealer's lots.
  8. your best one so far!
  9. yep,that's them. Good lookin' Pete there too!
  10. Congratulations to you and your son,that's a fine truck you got him. Here's a few pictures of H-61s that I took at truck shows in N.C.
  11. I can see it now...
  12. "guess i'll have the biggun's then"...Karl Childers
  13. I have the same type filter and I didn't really know how to clean it. I took the bottom off and ran a stick up around edges as far as I could reach and drug out all sorts of crap-probably hadn't been cleaned for years.
  14. Wow!..Hope your birthday is a happy one whatever you decide to do. I've gotta renew my license this year too. I went to Altavista to the DMV this morning but they're almost as bad as the post office-the post office is only open from 8 to 10 on Saturday,found out the DMV is now closed on Saturday. Got 'til April to renew though. I do have to take the vision test,so Vision i'd appreciate it if you'd send me all your personal information,family history,photos,etc. so I can study up on you.
  15. This looks way better than my hot sauce.
  16. A clean and shiny mill roll-this is in Milton,W.V. I think Jo has some kinfolks in the area.
  17. good ideers,start with easy stuff. This picture has many possibilities...
  18. 'nuff said...
  19. I know that feeling very well-I used a "good" dish towel to wipe down my cast iron stew pot after I used it and re-seasoned it with crisco one time.
  20. Naw,that has nothing to do with it. They keep you around because they love you for your positive altitude, your smile, and the bright ray of sunshine and optimism you bring to work every day.
  21. Then paccar bought Hayes and shut it down shortly afterwards. They used Peterbilt cabs for a while. Old Bill (the Diesel Gypsy) said Hayes trucks were his favorite of all the trucks he drove. I like the ones with the big "H" made in the hood.
  22. All true Randy,all true.About George that is,not the creeces thing.
  23. Saw this this week- a big ass bike in a little truck. Reminded me of somebody...just can't place who. And a big ass dog in a car. A big ass single axle tank trailer. An old Consolidated Freightways trailer. Some icy roads in Arkansas,and a stuck truck.
  24. Hayes?
  25. Though sometimes I might engage in humor and nonsense,I do have a serious side. In fact,I was doing some serious research on Wabco. I learned that in the early 1800's a young fellow by the name of George Westinghouseairbrakecompany moved his family into a well-to-do neighborhood near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. George and his family loved it there as there was both a Wal-Mart and a Home Depot nearby, but the feeling was not mutual with his neighbors. They liked everything to be the same in the 'hood, with houses well kept and the lawns all mowed the same day with all the grass the same height. Young George complied with all this but the problem was that his mail box had to be extra long in order to get his extra long name on it. It just didn't fit in and his neighbors were irate about it. Things got to the point that his neighbors would stage nightly protests and riot in the street in front of his house. George just ignored them at first, but when the angry mob threw a 11/24.5 B.F.Goodrich truck tire that had been soaked in gasoline on his DirectV dish antenna and burned it one night, George knew he had to do something. The next morning he called in sick, then went to the courthouse and changed his name to Wabco. Then he went by the Home Depot and bought a new mailbox. He raced home and tore the old mailbox off the post and threw it in the dumpster in the alley. Then he put the new mailbox up and waited. That night when all his neighbors made their way down the street to his house they saw the brand new standard size mailbox on the post...they mumbled a bit, then threw their torches, pitchforks, and sandwiches down in the street and went home... and they all lived happily ever after. The End.
