This is how he found the D860. He did a little work on it, cleaned it up, and that's about it. I just like seeing stuff like this more than any gussied up Peterbilt.

Yes they are.

That's one of my favorites too, and the one with Freightrain.

I just saw a Facebook post on the fat cab GMC page, J.B.'s truck are already loaded up to go to Macungie. These two are true "barn finds" that you hear about. He's been bringing the Cannonball for a while, I think last year was the first time for the D860. They both have 6-71s.

I don't get it either, somebody posts a video of some asshat on Facebook with the same setup every once in a while. He's throwing 3 sticks around and people ooh and ahh about it. I say the title should read "how gay can you possibly look while driving a truck". I mean what you do on your own time is your own business, but that's how it looks to me.

These are 2 of my favorite trucks, right here. Old GMCs, an 860 Cannonball and a D860. Unrestored, looking like they did when they were still working. And the owner, J.B. Stoltzfus, encourages people to get in them and take a look.

I went to the ATHS National show in Harrisonburg the year before last... wasn't it?.. because Harrisonburg is 2 hours from here and it'll probably never be that close again. I didn't even go when it was in Baltimore, I'm not going to one of the top crime centers in the country unless I get paid to. Harrisonburg was nice though, it was at the fairgrounds and there was plenty of room. I've already heard that they're asking people to drop trailers somewhere else in Reno because of a lack of space at the show grounds. Sounds like they didn't really pick the best spot to have it, I'm sure there are plenty of wide open spaces there that would be better suited for a truck show. Macungie on the other hand runs like a well oiled machine, every time.

I don't know what happened to the JOT site, but this reminded me of another website that I miss a lot- Hank's Truck Pictures. I used to love to get on there and look at all the truck pictures, especially the old ones. Hank's was no surprise though, he said he was going to shut it down. So many people shared so many of the pictures on Facebook that he said there wasn't much point in it anymore.

I understand there's a pretty big truck show coming up in Macungie, Pa. very soon. In fact, it's been called "the greatest truck show on earth" (Doug Maney, 1986). Just wondering if anybody was planning to go ?

It can do all that and it's also impervious to dents and scratches!.. apparently.

Me too.

But probably not a bud light.

I thought it was taken in the parking lot at the Hellertown Truck Stop. The story I heard was that a driver had just picked up a brand new red Ford straight truck from the Ford dealership and stopped there for a cup of coffee on his way home. Last I heard he was still there waiting for his free refill.

Yes indeed! I was just reading a post on Facebook about Joe Biden tripping and falling- again- that Gregg Hoffman posted (underdog on BMT, but he's another one who's seldom on here anymore) and he referred to Biden as "hero of the stupid". 🤣

That looks great! I'd like just a slice or two to put on a bun to sample please. Oh, throw some of those baked beans in the envelope too before you put it in the mailbox. Thanks!

Yes indeed, y'all are right. Every night my hands just ache from arthritis, the more I've been toting and lifting during the day the worse it is, and I try to be very careful when I hold anything because I have dropped so many things. After dropping and breaking a couple of 4 or $500 cameras I said enough is enough. I had to get a bigger but not near as good camera to take with me on the road because I could grip it better. And whenever I pick up my my "good" camera the first thing I do is put the strap around my neck. I get up in the morning and both of my knees pop, then I moan and groan and complain about my back hurting for a while, then start the day- after the local news and Family Feud goes off.

I got the bulldog and stuck it to a piece of tape, I'll stick it back on there when I get some glue. One of the mirrors is broken too, and the piece of the mirror bracket is stuck in the hole. I've just got it dangling by the top bracket.

Huh? 🤣

Great, found 2 more boxes of stuff to try to fit in there somewhere. Found this ring that I got from H.H. Moore's for being there for 20 years. Me and my wife also got treated to a steak dinner at the best steakhouse in Lynchburg.

I cooked these ribs in the barrel Saturday. I cut them up and cooked them on the grate instead of hanging them from the rebar. Last time I cooked ribs I used the hinged grate and hung one rack and cooked the other one on the grate and everybody (everybody meaning Zina) liked the ones I cooked on the grate better.

Yep, they really do a great job as a smoker. The only disadvantages to them really is that the little fire box doesn't hold much, so you have to add more wood every few minutes, and probably the biggest thing is that most people don't want an old gas or electric range sitting in their back yard. But man do they cook great!

We're still moving of course, spending the weekend at the new place. It has a sleep sofa that had never been used before, still had the plastic on the mattress. It is extremely uncomfortable. Anyhow, we brought the corner cabinet over and my son helped unload it Saturday and I was putting my stuff back in it yesterday. I took everything out of it in Gladys and put it in a box. Some idiot had set the box down on the arm of the couch instead of putting it on the floor, then I- I mean he- bumped into and it fell to the floor. Broke the mirror off of everything in it. Broke the little tiny bulldog off the hood of the mixer too. Old Bill sent me a lot of that stuff, like the Akubra hat with the crocodile hat band, and the leather Trimac cap. I bought the DM model in Macungie a few years ago, but it's too intimidating for me to even attempt to put it together. I might get a tube of Super Glue and some tweezers and try to put the bulldog back on the mixer, that's about all the model making I'm gonna try.

I was talking about my smoker made from an old stove a while back, and I just happened to run across these pictures. That's a couple of Boston butts in it. This picture almost makes me want to find another one...but not quite.

I have a high-low range selector valve off a 10 speed in the pickup🛻 🤣
