other dog

I think they're towing him behind the plane in a glider, attached by a rope. The plan is to cut him loose just before they land and he'll descend by parachute.

Gee...I sure do miss what-ya-macallim. Things just ain't the same 'round here. Cain't pick at Herb- I feel like he'd whip my ass. Morgan's out, he's too nice. Speed's not around enough...Larry's nowhere to be found, nor is Joe...Paul's off galavanting somewhere- AHA! Bollweevil- he's tha' man! Or perhaps Mike... or maybe - someone else...

Took a trip to Colfax, North Carolina today to the antique truck show. It was great, lots of trucks, good turnout, and excellent weather! I'll put the pictures on Flickr or Webshots and post a link as soon as I get them posted. I even bought a 1952 GMC McLean truck-looks like the same scale as my B-61 mixer. Here's the picture link- i'll try to get the rest on tomorrow. http://community.webshots.com/album/575440478tcZoIL?start=0 OK, all the pictures are on Webshots, plus a little video I took of a really nice looking B-61 as it was leaving the show.

I've decided not to go to Wal-Mart anymore. I'm gonna order lettuce and tomatoes online and have it delivered by UPS.

When I renewed my NRA membership a while back they sent me an NRA cap. I was surprised to see the "made in China" tag in it.

Hi Speed-yep, definately a lot of folks jumping off the Obama bandwagon now.

I bet there's some partying going on in Farmington tonight!!!

And more...

It occurred to me after I got home that she should have thanked me for saving her life, since she apparently would have turned in front of the oncoming traffic and gotten nailed in the passenger side door by a full size pickup if I hadn't been there.

I don't know if this is the biggest ever, but it's a right good sized one!

Didn't have a load today- same as yesterday- so we went over to Wal-Mart in Altavista to pick up a few things. Then after we got home we went back to Wal-Mart to get the head of lettuce and 2 tomatoes that we paid for and left on the counter. I went around by the sawmill to the back entrance and was sitting in the road waitng to make a left into Wal-Mart. Three pickup trucks were approaching from the opposite direction and there was a truck waiting to come out of Wal-Mart. So this woman in a Jeep wagon stops behind me and starts blowing her horn. I just set the emergency brake and put my truck in neutral and went back to see what her problem was. She rolled her window down and said "you can go, you have the right-of-way!!". I said "didn't you see the traffic coming the other way?..no, I guess you didn't because you're on the phone". I walked back to the truck and turned in-Jo said the guy waiting to leave was giving us a thumbs up when I got out-I let Jo out, then parked, then unparked and picked her back up, and this b!#@h was still sitting in that Jeep talking on her phone.

ditto. Tom B.

NO, NO...that's OK. Thanks though.

Yeah, they were. I talked to the previous owner and he said he folded holding 4 kings and told Rob just to take the truck, just so there wouldn't be any chance of seeing Rob in his birthday suit.

Some of our Conestogas have the sliding fasteners and we've had no problems. I've seen the "big time" steel haulers in Ohio and Pa. use them with ratchet binders in covered wagons and Conestogas to tie down huge single coils, so they apparently trust them all right. And they're just the flat aluminum pieces that hook under the lip inside the tracks, the ones on that Revolution look stronger actually because the sliding piece is attached on both sides with the chain in the middle.

I colored it on the screen with my crayolas just to see- I like it! That's not original Mack green of course, that crayon was broken. And I went over the lines on the hood, so I just made it longer. Never could get the hang of that "stay inside the lines" coloring thing.

I found a few i'll send via e-mail so I can send them bigger than i'd post here. They're taken at truck shows, just an overall view, so I don't know if they'll help you. There is another ATHS show in Colfax, N.C. next weekend that I hope to get to, and if they have any H-models there I can take pictures of any area and any angle you want. Tom

looks like there's more to the story-

if she can't maybe she can shingle the roof, that'd be good too.

right you are Mike! the truck's fixed (for another trip or two hopefully) but it's too late for me to leave now. Larry's probably already there with a pinstriping brush for her anyway, so maybe they'll take more pictures for us.

Hi there yourself. I'll give it a shot- i'm not there anymore, I just picked up a calendar and left. ...or perhaps he's talking about Tom somebody else, that knows something.

I don't get it, it's the same problem it stayed in the shop over a week for when I was on vacation in July, same problem as week before last- intake valve actuator fault. At least it's Friday.

Yeah, it's sitting at Carter Cat right now but this is the first time i've had problems with it for almost a week.

definately

I'm on the way. You need somebody to be one the other side of the ladder to help hold it too- just to be really safe you know. She'll probably be wanting to change all the light bulbs too. And one coat of paint just ain't gonna do it...needs at least 4, maybe 5. If she needs more paint, let me know- i'll pick up about 50 gallons on the way. And I know a lot about painting, especially her ceiling- she should not use a brush wider than 2'', a 1'' would be all the better.
