other dog

and this week we have a lion in the yard in Zelienople,Pa.- you can stick your head in it's mouth and get a drink of water. a better picture of the big Mack wrecker in Broadway,Va. Mack dumps near Mt. Storm,W.V. GMC dump truck, Weirton,W.V. big truck on the side road somewhere-I forgot where or why I took this picture.It might be rt. 219 in Pa. or N.Y...or maybe not And an Autocar on a trailer on rt.77 in W.V, headed north between Ripley and Parkersburg. Other Dog on rabbit patrol

wow! that IS a fine looking unit!

yup,I always use common hand tools myself to undress 'em-handsaw,prybar,chisel,long handled punch,and a b.f.h. by the way,wonder why he didn't finish the job?

well,I dunno Bollweevil, but i'd guess that he probably could

even if I was on the machine?! I've never operated heavy equipment,but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.

yeah,Otherdog (the beagle,not me) is terrified of a storm too. That's the only time Jobyna lets him on the furniture (I let him do whatever he wants,gets us both in trouble!) uh...by the way-why would you be in bed during the day in the first place,unless-oh...never mind...that's really nunna my bidness.I must be off.

I've been to Brook Park,Oh. and back. Unloaded in Roanoke last night and came home because the phone has been out since Monday night. Had a thunderstorm Monday night and lightning struck a big chestnut oak tree about 20' from the end of the house-too close for comfort! there's still bark and leaves all over the ground. The lightning struck the very top and peeled a strip of bark all the way to the ground,going around the tree like a corkscrew. I'll get a picture this weekend. The truck ran fine-I turned the fan on manual when I started up Sandstone mtn. and it never got over 200 degrees,and Jimmy fixed the air conditioner so I have to wear my parka while i'm driving. Jimmy said it stayed at Cat most of last week,and they found the radiator was stopped up-wonder why they didn't check the radiator the first 3 times I took it over there because it was running hot,and they said 3 times nothing was wrong with it?!! ...not the weekend yet,but I took some pictures anyway-I'm still here waiting for a load of steel going to Saginaw,Alabama to get to the shop

All the barbecue you can eat,free for all BMT members

Yes,thank you very much indeed-man, that two story International looks awesome!

Last day of vacation is over,so back to the old grind. I was ready to go after a couple of days off, now it'll take a while to get motivated to get back at it. Hope they fixed the list of problems with the truck,instead of just putting somebody in it and sending them on their way. By the way,water,hot sauce,and soap does NOT deter rabbits- -as a matter of fact,they must think it's pretty tasty-3 of them were in the garden last night,one was standing on his hind legs holding onto a cabbage plant with his front feet while he ate. Think i'll move the owl back to the garden and let the squirrels have the peaches-if that doesn't work i'm gonna put a white flag in the garden. Once again-I must be off now.

so much for that experiment-I was going to go to Concord today to make another mixer video to post on youtube,but Jobyna pulled something out of the refrigerator this morning and said "what tha' h! is this?-it's leaked all over the place!". D@%&! It was a boston butt I took out of the freezer Monday or Tuesday and plum forgot about. Couldn't put it back in the freezer,back to work tomorrow,so-I had to cook it,no other options. Smoked it in the antifreeze cooker to see how it worked,and Cooked it with the Neeley (The Neeleys- new show on Food Network) rib cooking method-indirect heat on both sides for a couple of hours,then I put it in a cheap aluminum pan and covered it tightly with wreynolds wrap and cooked it 'til it probed 180 degrees in the center with my meat doneness detection device (a.k.a. meat thermometer). Came out perfect! I'll probably slice some of it,and just chop the rest for bbq sammiches-I'll take some with me tomorrow,and leave Jo a little tiny piece. If I won the lottery,that's what i'd do-open a barbecue joint!

...FUNNY?...everybody I know here is as serious as a train wreck

wow,I hope I never break a spring,I didn't know they were that expensive. Each spring leaf on the mixer looks about 3/4" of an inch thick though-rides like it has no springs! Bad part is if I were to break one,they'd probably be even more expensive...harder to find...harder to remove used ones if you can find them-wow,hope I don't break a spring!

You're busy as usual I see-i've been on vacation this week. didn't go anywhere,just hung around the house. By the way,my Norton 360 antivirus that came already downloaded on my pc was about to expire and cost $59.99 to renew for a year.I was talking to Old Bill,the diesel gypsy,on Skype the other day and he sent me a link for a free antivirus download called "Avast". He says it's better than Norton. He uses the pro versian himself,but said the free version was all I needed for my pc.I like that part-"free"

oh yeah,i'm still cooking-cooked the best ribs ever just yesterday,but I used the antifreeze drum cooker. The old electric range was burned out, but it was still setting behind the shed.I replaced it with a brand new gas stove I found by the dumpster a while back. I haven't tried cooking/smoking anything really big,like a boston butt or a ham or turkey in the antifreeze cooker,but if it works ok for that i'll probably get rid of the gas stove too-to redneck looking

I took an old dryer,electric range,and a hot water tank to the recycler yesterday-brought $22.40...not bad,but I guess I need to keep digging before I can afford a truck,huh?

uh-oh. that's what i'll be using from now on then.

yeah,that's armstrong steering. I drove many trucks with that type steering. My b-model has power steering though,I've always just put motor oil in the reservoir.

glad we could help brighten your day-Joe is very funny.

beats me-the other day I got out of high school,got a job,got married,raised a family,now all of a sudden that's history,children are grown,I'm on the back side of 50...wtf?!!

I knew a screamer once,every time she-ahh,never mind!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=y2aOccbfAqE&feature=related ...now THAT'S what i'm talkin' 'bout! if you want to check out Pink Floyd,all their albums are good except "The Final Cut"...sucks,big time. "Dark Side of the Moon" is the best,"Delicate Sound of Thunder" is their best live album,but if you're only gonna get one,"Pulse" is the one to get-it has all the (well,most-it doesn't have "Pigs" on it) best songs,plus the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" on it.That's the concert tour they were on when I saw them at Carter Finley stadium in Raleigh,N.C. in the early 90's. The awesomeness of it defies description,especially the part when the giant inflatable pigs pop out from over the speaker towers during "One of These Days"...So much for today's music review

yeah,if I could do that i'd just take a bottle of ketchup with me for lunch every day

never mind,call off the search party again!

do you have a separate category for people like me,don't have a clue ,as opposed to those who really do know what they're talking about?
