  1. I saw this picture on Hank's Truck Pictures, no details, the caption just said it was a B-model on a 4x4 chassis.
  2. good answer, good answer! ...and the survey said- sorry, been watching WAY too much TV
  3. I went to Midland City, Alabama Sunday...sorta-kinda. I made it all the way to Cowpens, S.C. before I took a nap. The after Christmas traffic was bumper to bumper so I stopped about 5:30 at Cowpens and got a bite to eat and laid down until about midnight. Then I got a super-size Red Bull and hammered down. Came all the way back to Atlanta and picked up a load going to Scherr, West Virginia Monday- a whopping 6,000 lbs. I unloaded at Scherr Tuesday morning-good little ride from Midland City. Scherr is near Mount Storm, at the junction of rt. 42 and 93. It's right at the bottom of the big mountain with all the windmills at the top. The Mount Storm power plant is at the top of the mountain too. That would be the 5 or 6 mile 10% grade mountain. Tons of fun in winter. These pictures are of where I unloaded in Midland City-you can see this same spot on street view on Google Earth,on rt. 134 just west of Midland City. And the view from the top of the mountain on rt. 55 before you get to Moorefield-you can see the smoke from the Mt. Storm power plant way off in the distance, and just barely the windmills. An old bridge on rt. 220 in W.V. View from the top of Afton mtn. on rt. 64 in Va. Alf ...and lots of trucks at the yard.
  4. yeah, mega millions would be better, but still-not bad, congratulations!
  5. hey, pretty neat- that's the exact same question. i'd never heard it before except that night on the cb many years ago. still, 9x3 is 27,plus the 2...looks like it should...i mean...it...i understand the logic...but they're saying the 2 dollars was actually paid as a tip to make the price $27 instead of $25-what if they tore up the $2 and flushed it-the actual bill was $25 then, 9x3 is still 27, plus the 2 in the toilet makes 29...it still don't make no sense! just depends on how ya look at it.
  6. I didn't make this up, i'm not that smart. I first heard this on the CB radio one night years ago, and it got a discussion going pretty much like this one. The driver that first told it said there was no answer and not even a computer could figure it out-I think he was right.
  7. but-what if they took back a dollar each,and gave the clerk the other 2 back so they didn't have to divide it,and he could get a coke and a pack of snack crackers out of the vending machine on the way back to the lobby? that's 9x3 again,plus the 2
  8. yeah, but-they paid ten each but a dollar refund each means they actually paid nine each, regardless of what happened to the two dollars. and 9x3 is 27,plus those other 2 dollars is 29 total,so...so...I just don't know
  9. exactly-that's the facts! "...that don't make no sense!"- Pete ( Oh Brother Where Art Thow )

    no,not on medication.all i'd eaten all day was about 4 cups of coffee,but I don't know if that would affect it. It's never been that high before.Or maybe all the young nurses running around had me excited,I don't know.
  11. really! I'm going back to the beginning-there is no answer

    thank you,I do too, and hope all is well with your wife.
  13. you may be right-i'm going back to work
  14. agreed-but still, a dollar back each- $9 paid 3 times is $27 plus the $2 the clerk kept- it should come out to the same, but it doesn't
  15. I think she's slow so even a dumbass like me can follow, but I still haven't quite gotten it yet. I've watched this girl fold a shirt many times, but I can't do it-I just ball 'em up and throw 'em in the bag! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Xb7PTj1EQ

    my bp was 152 over 85-highest it's ever been, but the doctor didn't seem to be concerned. the cutoff is 160 over 90.
  17. I think he needs to stay at a Holiday Inn Express to figure this out.
  18. sign spotted on lightpole last spring near Farmington,Il.
  19. but still-if they paid 10 each,then got a dollar each back they paid 9 instead of 10...and 5 dollars back from the original 30 is 25-it just does not compute (the robot-lost in space)
  20. I first heard this question years ago, and no one knows the answer- 3 men are traveling in a blizzard and stop at a motel in a small town somewhere near Peoria,Il. There's only one room left so they share it. The clerk tells them the room is $30 so they each pay $10. When the manager comes in later he tells the clerk he overcharged the men, the room was only $25. He gives the clerk $5 and tells him to take it back to them. The clerk figures you can't divide $5 three ways, so he puts $2 in his pocket and gives the men back a dollar each. Now, if they each got a dollar back that means they paid $9 each instead of $10. And 9x3 is 27, the $2 the clerk kept makes 29...so what happened to the other dollar?
  21. close enough, it was actually 8:02 because the bus driver had to stop briefly for a cow standing in the road.
  22. sounds like a great adventure! reminds me of when I was at Sierra Sid's truckstop in Reno in 1979. I hadn't been driving long and it was in April or May, warm enough that I was wearing a T-shirt. A driver parked next to me and we were talking and he told me you couldn't cross Donner Pass without chains. I was like ''what the heck are you talking about? what's Donner Pass? wtf are chains?''. I knew what chains were of course, but around here any snow is long gone by that late in the year, and it was so warm there in Reno it made no sense to me. That was my first experience with the high elevation.
  23. I've got to leave Sunday for Midland City, Al. It's near Dothan. My DOT physical also expires Sunday, so I went to renew it today. Somehow I managed to pass it again, so i'm good for 2 more years. The young girl who took my blood pressure said "now we have to wait 'til we get a room". Meaning an examination room for the doctor of course. So I said ''get a room?!! but we just met, shouldn't we at least go to dinner first?''...yeah, I know-that's the same thing she thought. That's about as funny as a screen door in a submarine. I must be off.
  24. yeah,yeah,that's the same thing I said,only different. Now, if one train leaves St. Louis headed west at 4:15, and another train leaves Denver at 4:30 headed east, what time does the 8 o'clock bus get to the station?
