other dog

Haven't been blogging much lately...probably people don't read it much anyway, it's harder to find. I have trouble finding it myself, and I cain't put pictures on it. Last week I went to Orchard Park and unloaded in the wind and rain. I left there at 10:30 am and had to be in Warren, Oh. by 2 o'clock to load. Pulled in at exactly 2, with an average speed of 59.4 mph. When I got loaded in Warren I had to go outside and tarp the load of plates-in the pouring rain. I brought that load to Lynchburg, then took a 2 stop load of pipes to Nashville, went back to Knoxville and loaded re-bar to Greenville,S.C. then loaded lumber to Moneta in Newberry. This week I took a load of piling to McKeesport, Pa. and went to East Canton, Oh. to load firebrick to Petersburg. Then from Petersburg to Ambridge, Pa. I reloaded in Pulaski, Pa. to Chantilly, Va. Had a load of guardrail and posts, plus several pallets of buckets, blocks, crates, and other miscilaneous items. The woman at C.H.Robinson said the load required 4 chains and 4 straps-I ended up with 7 chains and 7 straps on it. Then I loaded a 55' load at the mill Friday after I left Chantilly. That delivers Wednesday in Broomfield, Co. I should have left today, but i'll leave in the morning. Last weekend I added the sugar to my wine. Today I strained it and bottled it-tastes pretty good!

indeed-we'd like to see the rest

That's what I always heard-in case of a collision the bumper wouldn't be pushed back against the tire causing steering loss.

thanks again,i've saved them all on my phone.

Gee thanks Greg, next time I have a kression 'bout how to spell sumpin' i'll feel free to ax you.Could I get your home number? Sometimes i'll be awake at 3 or 4 in the morning and think "damn...how do you you spell 'Tucumcari".

you're welcome, any more kressions,feel free to ax.

that is so true! makes absolutely no sense-people will move next door to a race track and complain about noise and start petitions to make all the racecars have mufflers on them when the racetrack was there first.seems like everybody has the "it's all about me" attitude,f#%@ everybody else!

now that i'm a real chemist, I've changed my mind-I would not use it, or bad things may happen.

helluva ideer!

There's a petition going around for those in favor of blowing up the moon- To: NASA The moon needs to be blown up. It sucks and it provides no help for the world. When there is an eclipse, people run the risk of going blind. I think we should send some morons into space to land on the moon and plant bombs to blow it up. The moon is gay.

well, it just so happens- i'm is a chimist...and it's ok by me. hmmmmm...gotta look up kemist real quick to see what it is.

Hey Larry, I had to pick up a load of firebrick in East Canton this week and ran rt. 30 across out of Pa. Saw a nice looking red and black B-model somewhere between Minerva and East Canton. Didn't get a picture because I wasn't prepared, but it was a red tandem with black fenders, just cab & chassis. Ever get out that way?

Last secret spy picture from Lititz, Ca. No doubt now, he was at the wrong show.

You might be on to something there-they stopped me once and fined me almost $4,000 for crossing a light weight bridge. Then they nailed me for over $100 that time for coming down Hopwood mountain too fast-I was doing 17 mph. in a 10 mph zone. With an empty trailer on a sunny day.The DOT man said "you're supposed to put that truck in the lowest gear you've got". I tried to argue that that would be an all day job and the "common sense" rule should apply, but they still fined me. And they put "Roadrunner" out of service for 8 hrs. one time on I-81 up around Mechanicsburg and he left about 15 minutes too early-fined him over $1,000. It's not about safety, it's all about the money. Same everywhere of course, not just Pa.

well, it IS a good possibility my secret spy got lost too.

The legend continues...getting more mysterious and legendary all the time.

Great looking H-model! and what did you say in your gallery, don't comment on the what?..I didn't see a Volvo anywhere. I drive a Pete myself, and catch hell from Rob for it all the time, but that's OK, I know it's all in fun.

Nothing to be embarrassed about there-that's a good looking truck. Sure, it might need a little work, but then most all of them do. Mine certainly does, but a lack of funds kind of has me at a stand-still. It's always good to see these trucks saved from the crusher, even if you never do anything to it-they ain't makin' 'em anymore!

duct tape just keeps coming up-

Wow, that's a shame. I feel your pain.

Reminds me of one of the "Cannonball Run" movies-Jerry Reed loads up the entire back seat of the car with beer, and Terry Bradshaw said "didn't you get us any food?" and Jerry says "yeah",and throws a bag of chips in the car.

I don't know if any of this helps, but i've noticed on the "Trucks With 2 Sticks" videos, from Dr. Bill Comcowich, that a lot of the trucks on the video have "antique vehicle-not for hire" on the doors.

he managed to send 2 more before they put the cuffs on him-

I was going to Lititz, but as usual I got lost. Fortunately I had a secret spy on the scene and he managed to get a few pictures before he was escorted away.
