indeed...I think we'd be much better off if McCain had won, but I wish Obama well. Nice avatar by the way!

It's been an exciting weekend around here -i've raked leaves, flattened some cans and bagged them-not all Anheuser-Busch products by the way, I think I saw a Pepsi can in there-and cut some grass, piled leaves in the garden and ran the tiller through it, and made a squirrel feeder. The apples, pears, and peaches are gone and I wouldn't want them to go hungry. Besides, if work doesn't pick up I might eat the squirrels. I went to Fremont last Sunday and after I got unloaded Monday morning I went to Brookfield and picked up a Roanoke load and unloaded in Roanoke Monday night. Then I was off Tuesday, no loads . Went to Richmond Wednesday morning and loaded some structural steel going to Columbia, S.C. Unloaded there Thursday morning, then went over to Nucor steel in Darlington and picked up some flatbar and channel going to Madison Heights, Va. After I got that off Friday morning, I went to the shop...then I went home-no loads. My computer still only works half a$$ too -hey, kinda like me! Everything that worked off a usb port seemed to be malfunctioning, first the webcam, then the scanner/printer. I was afraid to try my digital camera because I figured it would fail to operate properly too, but it did work, and I took a few new pictures to illustrate the exciting events described in this blog entry I had the truck here last week, and told otherdog to keep an eye on it...the second picture is 9 hours later and he hadn't moved-still keeping an eye on it! He's a good dog. There's an armadillo by the bush, but he paid no attention to it because I just told him to watch the truck. I cooked a "chicken on a can" Friday. I usually use the old wood/charcoal powered gas stove behind the shed, but I decided to try the anti-freeze grill this time. The oven is much better, and faster, probably because of the insulation around the oven. It makes a delicious chicken though, just coat a whole chicken with "the rub", drink part of a can of of beer, put more rub in the beer left in the can, stick the chicken on the can and put it on the grill, or the smoker oven 'til it's done. Too bad the leaves don't just blow next door! They have none, I have many. This is my squirrel feeder, loaded with corn. Stolen from the cornfield by the road at that bridge job in N.C. I posted pictures of a while back by the way. The spot where there's no leaves is where the pickup was parked. Otherdog-the beagle that is.

gee,thank you Rob, you're always there to help! However, i have a big hammer and would appreciate it much more if you'd come over and install the new glass for me. I'll watch and try to learn from the master.

I had to test it...it worked!

pretty neat! I didn't know you could do that, I just copied and pasted the whole thing.

hey,that's one of my favorite past times,along with watching grass grow!..could you post some video of it?

I have several more exciting (yawn) videos on youtube

gee- I hope the ociffer was out of his patroleum car, or made himself small.

...and you were asking ME about cooking ribs? I could take a few lessons from you! But I usually only do one rack at a time, since there's just the two of us.

Hey Barry, what's the price on 2 windshields and the back glass? my windshields are scratched, probably from years of concrete dust, and have that "fog" around the edges, and the back glass is cracked.

"there's nuthin' like a V8 Mack"-other dog,2008

The only experience with the air steering I have is an R-model that H.H.Moore had. It was only used as a "switch truck", AKA "yard dog", used to spot trailers at the chipper, and drop them on the yard, then put another empty at the chipper. As far as I know it worked very well, but i've never driven a truck with air steering over the road.

Hey James, whenever I post a picture from my digital camera I save it to my desktop, then i'll open it with "paint", or probably any photo program is the same, then I click on "image", and it'll give you the option to resize, and when you get it whatever size you want just click "save" and that's the size it'll be onscreen.

what?!!I just talked to your Ma, and she said they had to lock you in the closet regularly because they couldn't do anything with you, but then you got to liking it too much, so they had to come up with a new plan...and they're still working on it.

...huh?..

wow, a V8 Mack!..oh, what about a steering box?..I wasn't paying attention

hey, it does work!

I do all my cooking with charcoal and wood-tastes great, more flavor. Just ask Peggy or Bobby Hill-they had to sneak off to cook with charcoal, because they couldn't bear to tell Hank charcoal's better than gas!

well, sorry, but not really-nobody ever bothered me there, but I never got out to share a can of pork and beans.

...stupid computer...(Freighttrain,2007). I couldn't agree more-mine's driving me crazy,and that's a fairly short trip for me.

years ago we used to deliver steel to a place in Richmond,Va. just off of Hull st. on Dock st. I'm not saying it was a bad neighborhood, but folks would always be across the street under the train tracks with fires burning in barrels any time of night you got there. I was driving a '77 f-model Mack,and the passenger side door wouldn't lock, so i'd always park on Hull street and get the passenger door right up against a light pole so it couldn't be opened more than a couple of inches.

Do you know Sara?..I like Sara

i've seen picures of that Johnsonville grill

"hello" " hello,Rob?" "yeah" "uh...you know the R-model you loaned me-the one you just finished-" "yeah, what about it?" "well,I was getting off the express way, minding my own bidness, and I took the ramp just a tad too fast-now I can't see anything outa the left mirror and the left turn signal fails to operate properly" "#$%@ it, don't tell me you done turnt that *&%# over!!! I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna-" "oh no,nothing like that-you forgot to tighten the mirror bracket, and the turn signal must have a dead short, keeps blowing fuses" "hello...hello...Rob, you there?...hello-Rob?...hmmmm-must 've fainted...uh...bye"
