They must have cropped you out of the picture!

all jokes aside, congratulations!

I was browsing the Motifakes site ( http://www.motifake.com/index.php?top=0 ) this morning and saw a "free" download to resize and edit pictures. I tried the free sample and liked it-you could resize any picture on your PC with a slide bar and it was really quick and easy. So I downloaded the program and it said "unactivated" version...huh? Oh yeah, to "activate" it cost $39.95. In other words to actually be able to use it just send $39.95. I guess they weren't really lying, the download WAS free.

It's just like the "free" scans you can get that finds all the errors on your computer-but to "fix" them you have to pay. And they always find about 3,000 errors. I get those a lot, then i'll run my registry cleaner (that I did pay for) and it'll say I have 27 errors and fix them. I don't know if it really does anything or not to be honest, but somebody's got to be lying when the unpaid for "free" scan says you have 1300 errors and the other says you have 17.

The ACLU lawyers nowadays would have a field day defending both cases! All the way to the Supreme Court!

These stories were actually in the Farmville Herald, Dec. 3rd, 1909.

One I saw in Rustburg a while back.

Cummins, Detroit, and Cat engines were all available in Mack trucks from the factory during that time frame, if the truck was spec'ed with that brand of engine.

.

Indeed- I drove a '79 F-model with a 350 Cummins and 10 speed Roadranger.

Is it THAT bad? Welcome aboard!

I was just thinking about the Roadway R-models with 318's in them running 35 and 23 to Columbus in the 80's and whenever they keyed the mike to say something all you'd hear was a 318 Detroit screaming...not that there's anything wrong with that. Seems kinda funny now.

I get the Farmville Herald newspaper, only printed twice a week on Wednesday and Friday. Every Friday they reprint the front page from 50 years ago. Very interesting to me because sometimes i'll see people that I remember or knew. They also reprint a page from 100 years ago. No pictures then, but it can be interesting at times too.

Ran across these stories this week, one fits right in the "work ethic" topic.

Can't ya tell I got too much time on my hands?

here's a game for 'ya-

Sure hope it quits raining, or snowing, or whatever it's doing today.

And don't forget the noise cancelling mike for your cb, and a good external speaker

But you got it done like I knew you would. You are much more advanced than I am as far as computers go.

I like the Mack. Nice addition.

Not really, I just like to play around with pictures when it's raining, or snowing, or there's no freight. The Mack is turned a little too much but it was the closest yellow one I could find.

But thank you very much indeed.

See what I mean-

As soon as Tom sees your post I bet we will see a Peterbilt school bus.

I didn't photoshop this picture. I've been saving it for a rainy day ever since I found it here:

This is much better than the crappy looking pictures I do.

Trying to figure this out.

If farts are invisible, how do youi explain skidmarks?

sorry, it's been rainin all day. Mind goes out there somewhere

raining here too. was snowing earlier but it stopped.

Got a nice drive-by picture of this GMC in Ohio yesterday on rt. 62 between Salem and Alliance.

Gambi it's a joke about short bus riders. Not necessary the mentally challenged, but anyone with a silly sense of humor.

I was so smart I rode this bus to school. later on I even drove it, as I was old enough to get my license by 6th. grade. I was very proud of that, being the only sixth grader with a mustache and a drivers license.

Thanks Barry, I'm slow and may be shipped out soon but will try to take advantage of the uprated posting limits before departure.

Hope ya'll think of me from time to time when I'm gone.

Rob

I must be even slower-I don't even know what it means...huh?

there's no need to worry-nobody gets out of here alive! Hope that makes you feel all better.

You're gonna be in trouble next season. Monsanto has developed a new "Roundup" to take care of that plant at the root level so no more of it's offspring cohabitate the earth. Incidently that plant was named after a planet discovery in the "Third Galactic Nebula" within outer space that NASA is taking aim at to test hi yield nuclear weaponry and deployment systems.

Unlike the Obama administration; We're working on erradicating the source, not treating the symptoms.

Rob

oops-we're not the brightest star in the galaxy- that's planet I mean-planet.

back to the drawing board Monsanto.

wait-you said NASA was gonna do what to where? The "Third Galactic Nebula" is exactly where gkfgmm is-I gotta go, later guys seeya, I must be off.

Try again later.

that's because you can't "fix my post" and add a photoshopped picture of me. I came from the plant gkfgmm, and we're immune to that nonsense.

WHO was that person that ran out of fuel in the driveway?.....and told everybody on this web-site about it?....do I need to tell about the other ones?

mike

don't fall for it Mike-that's not Nikki, Rob's baiting you to see if you're gonna make an inappropiate comment!

That's right. One must not only know how many gallons the truck will hold, they must also be familiar how to get such a mishap, (not mistake) repaired upon the side of the road. This is the most basic of operating knowlege of a motor vehicle and ranks right up there with knowing how to change a flat on your car. It is much easier to figger this out in your own driveway, instead of the side of the road someplace.

Now with a Peterbilt; All bets are off, "you're walkin".

Rob

running out of fuel? .. me? well, there was one time when I drove a '79 F-model. But the fuel gauge didn't work. I was full of fuel and loaded at the shop on a Friday and had plenty of fuel to run this trip, to Baltimore or somewhere. I left Sunday night and on the way in the next day I ran out about 12 miles from the shop and had to walk about a mile to a store to call headquarters. Turned out that Jeff or Todd has used the truck over the weekend to haul a load of chips to Covington- little over a hundred miles,one way- and didn't fill it back up.

Almost ran out in Warrenton with the same truck, but when it started sputtering I made a flip and went back to a Texaco station and got enough to make it home.

I was driving a '77 F-model one time, going to Covington with a load of chips. I was running with another truck and they ran out of fuel about half way up North Mountain on I-64. I had an empty oil jug and we siphoned fuel out of my truck one gallon at a time and poured it in until we figured we had enough to get to the Ponderosa Truckstop, at the bottom of the mountain on the other side. Very slow process. Finally I said "that oughta do it". So we got it started and took off-and ran out again, still a long ways from the top of the mountain, and had to repeat the process.

And I ran out in Lynchburg once, bringing a brand new cabover KW back to the shop from Truck Enterprises in Roanoke. The cheap b@$#@rds wouldn't even put enough fuel in it to get it to Appomattox. H.H. should have told them to come get it and took his binness elsewhere.

And there was that time I ran out in Florida in that International, when all the fuel drained into the right tank because I was parked leaning to the right. It would not equalize even after another truck pulled me up where it was sitting level, with the tops off the tank. Had to call the truckstop to bring me fuel, and once I got going it equalized like it was supposed to.

Enjoy!!

good one- way to go Santa!

It's white and wet.

cold too-you forgot cold
