    Saturday

    Went to Altavista just now,and out here where 699 runs into 29 some people were having a yard sale in the restaurant parking lot straight across 29. So of course Jo wanted to stop and look around-I said "I don't want none of that crap", so we stopped to look around. Saw what could well have been a heckuva deal- a cobra 148gtl cb radio,chrome plated external speaker,and a 300 watt linear-all for $60! The radio or linear either one is worth way more than that-way,way more.I was tempted to buy it myself,but I just bought a new Connex 3300hp and I have a 100 watt modulator I don't even use. The guy said everything worked,and that he had it on his boat,but I had no way to test it of course. I feel like it probably was good,because his wife (I assume she was his wife) said it about killed him to bring it. If anybody else happens to want it let me know ASAP,I'll run back over and see if it's still there,and send it for $60 plus whatever it costs to ship it. Maybe the guy didn't realize what he had. Even went to Food Lion and got a replacement steak for the one I dumped on the ground yesterday.
  2. what about the sloped hood C-model? They should throw that in there somewhere for history's sake
  3. thank you
  4. ran across this rare animal while browsing Hank's Truck Pictures, a cl 350 Mack...geez,looks like I goofed again-never mind the second brochure picture,that's redundant...word of the day,redundant. The caption reads: "This is a Mack CL350 that Mack made in the late 1970's to compete with Pacific (Hayes had since gone). This was the first CL350 brought into the forest. It's stationed at the Menzies Bay camp north of Campbell River. The cab is not original, and I'm not sure if this is a rebuilt truck or another one the division bought. They did get the first one, as the shop guy there told me and showed it to me when I was up there in the summer after they got it. Mack tried this truck, but from what I was able to gather, they didn't sell very many of them and the CL350 series was eventually discontinued."
  5. I'm right there with you on that-pink in the middle is ok with me,but I don't want it raw!
  6. As Bulldog man would say "Amen brother!"
  7. what a day-went to the eye doctor this morning...she said everything was looking about the same,which is good. "Ramblin' Man" unloaded the load I brought in last night,which is good. Jobyna and I stopped by the Food Lion in Rustburg on the way home,where they had T-bone and top sirloin on sale.Which is good. We got a few groceries,I picked out a great looking top sirloin steak from the reduced rack,and told her to pick out any steak she wanted,and i'd cook it when we got home.She picked a nice T-bone,one I started to get for her myself. When you decide to do steak,which we don't too often,it's nice to pick the one you want,right? That's good. She likes hers a little more rare than I do,like so rare a good vet could get it back on it's feet,so I put my steak on the grill first.I was using the little small round grill with three legs because I was only doing two steaks,and when I attempted to adjust the draft on the bottom the whole grill tipped over,dumping the great looking top sirloin on the ground Very bad. She said "i'll take it inside and rinse it off,it'll be ok". But it had dirt in all the nooks and crannies,so I gave it to the dogs. I was mad as #*!! So I went rummaging through the freezer and found a pack of cube steaks,defrosted them in the microwave,and was going to grill them when the kids from next door came over,being about 3,4 ,and 5 years old. They wanted to play with Otherdog ( the beagle,not me),then they wanted to go inside,then they wanted something to eat,so we got a package of hotdogs out of the freezer and I cooked them ,along with the cubed steaks. Then Jobyna sprayed some "Off" on the little boy's legs and he commenced to squalling,saying "I'm gonna tell!",then ran home. The little girl was crying because she had to go. So I wrapped up 5 hotdogs ,kept 4, (I dropped one of them on the ground too!) and Jo took them next door,and all is well now...until I found out mom next door is a U.Va. fan,and i'm diehard Va. Tech. I told Jobyna I'd just leave her steak in the refrigerator,get another one tomorrow,and we'll still enjoy a nice steak dinner together...which is good. sorry,best picture I could come up with today...
  8. I thought they said on the local tv station this morning that they weren't going to make any Macks in Dublin anymore,and they were going to move it back to Pa
  9. crap! I was trying to put a link to Toga,Va. from google earth. I've done it before,but this ain't right... don't even have a delete button on this...it's over there off the screen somewhere-stupid computer! just disregard the previous entry.

  11. glad you cleared that "wogmar" thing up-could easily be changed to "wogmat" or even "wogmap". Pass that on to Kathy for Paul.
  12. sounds good,i'm gonna give that a try!
  13. I actually saw Pink Floyd before,in Raleigh,N.C. Did I mention that before? Oh,that many times huh? Roger Waters had left the band by then of course,but everybody else was still around. By far the best concert i'd ever been to. "The Very Best of Yes" is one of my favorite CDs too. Too bad if I can't make it to Watts open house-I was looking forward to buying you a hotdog and a pepsi Paul.
  14. yes,i'm sorta-kinda surprised anyone else even made the Jethro Tull connection! Well,now I have a problem-I just got a flyer in the mail today from the annual Toga benefit. They alway had it in August before,but this year they decided to have it later so it would be cooler,even though it's not usually much cooler around here until about the middle of October. The date they picked was September 13th. I'd hate to miss the benefit,the second annual one was for my wife and another woman who also had cancer. My wife had no life insurance,and it was a tremendous help. I said I wouldn't miss one from then on,and I haven't. Of course that's the same day as the Watts Mack open house and truck show,and I'd hate to miss that too,especially the chance to actually meet one of the greatest living Americans,a.k.a. Paul VanScott
  15. well don't forget your hard hat,safety glasses,and steel toed boots then. ...and better make sure nobody else does either,just in case...
  16. no wonder you're up way past your bedtime...sorry,but I think they've left you. Probly just forgot you in all the excitement ,and you've been standing there all day with your bags packed,waiting on a call
  17. yeah,I can tarp it,hadn't thought of that...no problem.
  18. huh? I put a straight pipe on the mixer too,mainly because I couldn't find a 4" muffler in the state!
  19. I'm gonna try,if I can get myself near the area and can find somewhere to park a Peterbilt,but I can't say for sure yet.
  20. Wow,Bernie Mac passed away-he was 2 years younger than me! Don't get to watch much TV,but I saw the Bernie Mac show a few times,and it was great! He always thought the kids were trying to get over on him,and he'd outsmart 'em,and the kids always thought he was tryin' to get over on them...sad to hear anyway. Took some pictures yesterday-I went down to the apple tree to pick some apples. They're not ripe yet,but Jo wanted to try cooking some.I managed to pick 4 or 5 before I had to run for my life-hornets everywhere! Eating all the apples! And this pear tree was loaded-it had so many pears on it they broke the top of the tree off,along with several limbs. Now you can hardly find a pear. But those hot peppers and tomatoes are doing well,eh? (that's Canadian)
  21. yes,better-but that doesn't mean you couldn't drive the Mack to the store or movies! How cool would that be? It'd be awesome,you'd be the envy of all your friends!
  22. yeah,I love that sound! A guy that lived down the road from me in Appomattox had a Ford pickup with a diesel in it,and I don't know what he did to the exhaust system but he changed something,maybe put the turbo kit on it,but the first time he drove by the house I was in the back yard and ran around to the front because it sounded like a V8 Mack was coming up the road. As i've said here before,Eddie Moore,who worked in the shop at H.H.Moore's but was not kin,had 2 F-models with V8 325s and nothing H.H. had would stay in the same county with them,not even a 400 cummins...especially the one his son Al drove,which was turned up to the max-he's the one that used to pull off on the ramp at the bottom of North Mountain on I-64 and wait for the rest of us to go by, then catch and pass every one of us before we got to the top,when we were hauling wood chips to Covington. He had a straight pipe on that truck,turned straight out,that wasn't much higher than the top of the cab. Of course we had the window down because AC hadn't been invented then. I've been a V8 Mack fan ever since.

  24. Bob the Builder-what I get for pickin' at Paul I guess
  25. There's nothing like a V8 Mack! straight pipes a must!
