  1. Saw not one, but two nice looking Peterbilts for sale in Jane Lew,W.V.
  2. I'm not too good at going forward...much worse going backwards. They had to cut down a bank twice and still had to tow me so I could get around the curve at the bottom of this hill. Then I had to back all the way back down to turn around in the grass by the big oak tree, between the trailer and the brush pile.
  3. yes,there's one in Altavista. I'm pretty sure the red,yellow,and white cables are right but I think you're onto something with the antenna cables.I need to review them-new Ice Road Truckers starts Sunday. Got it!..ran another yellow and white cable from the directv box to the dvd/vcr and it works ok. that wasn't in the manual so it took a while for me to figger it out.
  4. good choice
  5. It was a mixture of stuff I found laying around- I mixed a bottle of Lawry's Southwest Marinade, a bottle of Texas Pete hot wing sauce, and enough of my home made vinegar based bbq sauce to cover it in 2 gallon size ziplock bags.
  6. Hi Mike!..the tv is older and only has one connector for the antenna. I had to buy a modulator to get everythingt hooked up and working. I had both a vcr and a dvd player on it before and everything worked-without the modulator!.. and you could watch ice road truckers while you were taping it.
  7. I keep telling them their pants are too short, but they say they're supposed to be like that. They're all 5' 1'' tall and get their clothes in the kids department or the local dumpster. They gots big feets though.
  8. just thoughts- I cooked some really good chicken on the grill yesterday, and had leftovers today. I had a ten pound bag of leg quarters in the freezer that had been in there a long time, so I cooked them all. As usual with the leg quarters I skinned them and trimmed off the excess fat and "yucky" stuff first, then marinated them for about 6 hours. After they were done I put them in an aluminum pan, smothered them with Open Pit BBQ sauce, and sealed the pan tight with aluminum foil and left it on the grill for about another hour. You couldn't pick one up by the bone without it just falling apart! The Charlotte race is on TV-nothing like being there though, when you can smell the rubber and racing gas, and see all the babes walking around. The guy that sang the National Anthem did a great job, unlike the girl that sang it before the all star race last weekend. There's only one way to sing it-like it's supposed to be sung! You can't "make it your own" like you're on American Idol. Just my opinion. I used to go to a lot of races at Charlotte, Richmond, Rockingham, and Martinsville but I don't anymore. Back to work tomorrow-it's a holiday for some people but not truck drivers. I'm going to Byesville, Oh. with a load of lumber. But otherwise i'd have had to leave today...and some of our soldiers never get a day off.
  9. This is better than comedy central
  10. Jo's one of 5 identicle quintuplets (???). None of them know anything either. But they think they know everything-one of them just told me I spelled identical wrong and I had a dangling participle
  11. Yeah, I asked my youngest son last time he was over, but he couldn't figger it out either. He's almost 25 though. I've only had this machine a few months.
  12. I got it at wal-mart but i've had it too long to take it back. I think I just don't have something set right. It doesn't bother me because it plays fine, but Jo likes to tape movies and stuff off the tv and she's been nagging-I mean,she's asked me several times to try to get it working right so she can see the movie she's trying to tape.
  13. I finally got around to getting a new VCR/DVD combination a while back because neither of the 2 old ones worked right anymore.The DVD player was a $29 unit from the dollar store, and the VCR was 62 years old-old enough to retire. The problem is I can not get a picture on the TV when the power is on to the DVD/VCR- just a blue screen. The old remote had a button for tv or vcr mode but this one doesn't. It works ok to play tapes and dvd's but if you try to record something off the tv you can't see the program you're recording-but it does record it, I checked it...just can't see it or hear it to cut commercials or whatever. I tried everything I know (not much) and pushed a lot of buttons, still can't get a tv picture- anyone got any ideas?
  14. He doesn't have time for that-now every vehicle,all the clothes,furniture,appliances,and the dog will have a bulldog patch embroidered on it.
  15. Great ideer, I know it'll be a show stopper when it's finished!..and yeah, it looks pretty good now.
  16. compromise- get a beagle!
  17. found it with more info-I was looking on the wrong road. It's on rt. 52,southeast of Minot.
  18. Great! What do you haul,new office furniture or general home furniture store type furniture? The first time I passed through Butte was at night and there were lights everywhere,all over the mountainsides and I thought "wow,this place is huge". Then when I saw it in the daytime it wasn't nearly as impressive-size wise that is-still beautiful country though.I wouldn't mind living out there.
  19. Wow,lots of good lookin' Macks and Brockways here! Looks like you did a fine job on the B-61 too. I took a load from Enterprise, Al. up to Lakehurst N.J. earlier this week.
  20. I couldn't find the b-model sign or the pit mine on google earth.But one of our drivers called me one day this week and told me he found a nest of old Macks on rt. 30 about 10 miles west of Gettysburg,Pa. He said they were in good condition,like they had come in from a trip and parked there and left. He said one was an LJ that was hooked to an old reefer trailer with the blower and ice compartment in the nose.I didn't see that but I did find these 2 B's,so I suspect this is the place he was talking about.I saw the red B-model here with the van trailer in a youtube video I just watched and downloaded on realplayer. It's called "Semi truck junkyard pictures".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M7rjzTUPlU I also found the Snow Train and Rob's new gantry crane on google earth.
  21. she never looked at me-just rode along and let me look at her.and all my teeth are original equipment-both of them.
  22. Montana is one of the prettiest places i've ever been to.
  23. I've always wanted to see Canada-and not just from across the river from Detroit or Buffalo,which i've done, but really see it. One of my best friends lives in Elliot Lake. I want to see Moose Jaw, and Red Deer, and Kamloops, and Labrador City. Soon as I win the lottery i'm outa here...
  24. She passed me and I said "that's a pretty good one too"...since I missed getting a picture of the one in a red,white,and blue bikini in the Mustang convertible. So I grabbed the camera and hammered down and rode alongside for a while-she didn't seem to mind...Geez, I meant to say "I was riding along, minding my own binness, as usual, and all of a sudden I wondered what the reflection of my truck would look like in a window of a passing vehicle. And this just happened to be the next passing vehicle-I never even noticed the driver." That's my story. I couldn't catch the Mustang.
