I might have seen you around somewhere, I run the same general area-lot of Ohio and western Pa, but I might turn up most anywhere.

I put the Bulldog mirrors on the mixer and I didn't know which way they were supposed to be facing either.I have mine facing out. Everything was fine until Jeff told me they were backwards,but I never did change them. I've seen pictures of lots of mirrors turned the same way as mine,but most are facing each other. I don't think you'll get in trouble either way they're facing,the main thing is that they're not upside down. I watched an ATHS video a while ago and noticed that the late Dr. Bill Comcowich's were facing out on his W-71 too,so i'm gonna leave mine facing out unless the mirror police make me change 'em.

they should have sued George Bush too-I'm sure it was his fault,everything else is! Reminds me of what the insurance man told us at the last safety meeting. A truck driver was involved in an accident on 285 in Atlanta that was entirely not his fault in any way,shape or form but he was running over his 11 hours driving time,so they ended up pinning it all on the truck driver because they said he wasn't supposed to be there in the first place-that's B.S. too. And I'd vote for Clarence Thomas, J.C.Watts, Colin Powell, or Condaleesa Rice for president with no second thoughts...but since they're not running I guess i'll have to go with Sarah Barracuda.

,and ...and last week it was a sore throat,then Wednesday night coming back from Ga. I had one of the worst headaches i've ever had, now the gum situation...ain't been sick in years,hope i'm making up for that,instead of signs of things to come.

naw,i'm still waiting on tires myself-we got plenty of tires,but I need to accumalate 4 more wheels. I can check on used tires for you though,and put them on the next load going to Orchard Park.

well,..I certainly don't blame you for that...

Great looking truck-looks like a truck oughta!

just a little side note,but I thought it was funny- I was looking at the local TV station's web site today,and they had a list of the top stories over to the side. One headline in particular caught my attention-"McCain taps Palin to be his VP". You had to join up,sign in,provide a name and e-mail address to comment on the stories,but I absolutely could not resist...I had to do it...sorry-they might throw me in the slammer for it, but I joined,got my confirmation e-mail,logged in and replied-"I'd tap it too if I thought I stood half a chance-if I were John McCain i'd give Cindy 50 bucks and tell her to go to Wal-Mart and have at it,while I tapped Sarah".

that's what I do- don't go far,but I make about 2 parades and 2 shows a year.

looks like you figured out the picture posting thing all right. Not a bad looking F-model there-worth way more than that for parts,or...it hurts me...I can't say it... j.j.j.-scr...aaargh,I can't say junk or scrap,that's a good looking truck,at a good price-just needs a good home.

Geez,what did I do this week,if anything?..oh,I remember-left Sunday (4th Sunday in a row I had to go out,and I hate having to go on Sunday!) for Chester,W.V. After I unloaded in Chester Monday morning I went to Macedonia,Oh. and loaded coils going to Roanoke. First time i'd been to Macedonia to load for a long time.Good place to load,nice people, Rachel ( )in the office looked good as always . Unloaded in Roanoke Tuesday morning,then went to the shop and fueled and dropped my trailer and pulled a drop-deck to Duluth,Ga. with a load of steel-2 stacks of sheets,2 coils,and some other long thin strips of something or other.Had to take a drop deck to reload some small trailers at Monticello,Ga. and brought them back to New London,Va. Then I went to the shop and fueled,got my regular trailer,and went back to Lynchburg and loaded another load to Duluth,Ga. Had to go to Birmingham,Al. to load Friday and picked up a load of rebar at Nucor in Birmingham,formerly Birmingham Steel. Made it up as far as Niota,Tn. Friday evening and stopped at Crazy Ed's truckstop and got some fuel and a bite to eat. Then I took a nap to let the traffic die down some,and left there about 12:30 am and got in about 7:00 am Saturday morning.I had a tooth hurting some when I left Thursday,and by now it was throbbing -not really a tooth,but my gum.Had a big knot on it and hurt like h#!!, but that Motrin ib is some good stuff-i'd take 2 and the pain was gone for about 6 hours,then BAM!-take two more,good for another 6 hours. I know there's some infection up in there,and little or no chance to see the dentist and get a prescription for antibiotics before Tuesday,but I got plenty of Motrin...jaw's all swollen now,looks like I got a chaw in,or I saw Mike Tyson in a bar and called him a punk...or saw Paul at a chef's convention and called him a cook. Anyway,it's nice to be home on Sunday,and know I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow. I smoked a pork loin on the grill today-looks delicious,smells delicious-owh,my gum! Anyway,they're repeating last years Ice Road Truckers on TV today,so I thought I'd watch that . Jobyna wants to watch tennis,but I let her know right quick who's king of this castle! By the way, Andy Roddick's leading some dude named Seppi 3-1.

it worked!

bet they'd fill a stadium quicker'n Obama did!

This could potentially be our new vice president...way prettier than Dick Cheney-i'd certainly ...uh,vote for her!

don't pay any attention to this message,it's only here to confuse you

you pretty much hit the nail on the head when you said most people don't seem to care. And those sloppy joes are pretty tasty.

yep, I knew that. And the national debt is in the trillions of dollars already. That's trillions,with a "T". Everybody wants something for nothing,wants the gummint to provide everything for them,not even thinking,or not caring that SOMEBODY's got to pay for all the gov't. handouts-namely US,the taxpayers. I get fuel at Kwik-Fill in Northeast,Pa. every time I go to Orchard Park. Sometimes I get two sloppy joes too. J.F.K. was a democrat and he said "ask not what your country can do for you,but what you can do for your country..." Somewhere along the line things took a 180 degree turn-now the democrat party nominee just promises everybody the moon at government expense,and i'm sure the biggest tax increase in the history of the world will soon follow.

My hair is leaving faster on the top, or as the guys at work say it's runnin away from my face, but it is fun looking back at the older days.. I know that feeling-I can roll my eyes back in my head and see way more daylight than I used to.

Glad you got your tire problem worked out...lol. I woulda sent it to the tire shop if I seen that it was like that. Yeah she was laughing at some things i said.If she thinks i'm funny, she would really get a kick outa some of these other mountain folks. I say window to their winder, I say tire to their tar. I'm no better than them mind ya, but I pronounce some of my words different..anyway Tell her I'll send her some french fried taters.....um-hmmm...Or some biscuits and mustard......Can you tell like what models those tractors are? I figured the 2 Fords are 8n's? The massey and 2 john deere's I don't know..Have a good one buddy one Ford looks like an 8n,the other a 600 or an 801,I don't know if the Farmall is an H or an M,and I have no idea what the John Deeres are.

I know-maybe that's why the place that did those wheels doesn't do it anymore,or they're out of business. The place I called in Lynchburg gave me the number to the place in Dublin and I was going to ask about exactly what they did and what they charged,but they were closed Saturday.

one of the John Deere's did have a flat tire,but I fixed it. The bead wasn't even seated to the wheel,so I jacked it up,reseated the bead,pumped it back up and it's still holding air now. Jobyna liked your Tennesee accent-" I like the way he talks...um-hmm". I said "he probably likes the way you talk too...um-hmmm."

you may be right-i'm gonna delete it before I get in trouble!..nice picture though I deleted it,then I told her I was going to post it,and she said "why?,so I took that to mean it was ok since she didn't just say "no!"and I put it back.

you may be right-i'm gonna delete it before I get in trouble!..nice picture though

I heard Timmy,who works in the shop,mention the other day that he had 4 wheels chrome plated for his car or pickup and it only cost $150. I don't know when this was,but he said some place in Lynchburg did it. I know somebody was asking about getting some things rechromed on here a while back,so I checked into it. Called Industrial Plating, the first of two platers in the yellow pages,and the man I talked to there was very nice but he said nobody around Lynchburg did any chrome. He did say there was a place in Dublin,Va. that did though,and from what he knew it might take them a while but they did small orders and they did good work. Tried to call them for more info,but got a recording saying their hours were 8:00 to 5:00,Monday thru Friday. So I figured i'd pass along what I knew in case somebody wanted to call them-the place is called Electro-plate,or something close to that,and their no. is 540-674-6156
