other dog

I've always wanted to visit Canadia If I got that close I could keep on going to Elliot Lake and see Old Bill He always told me if I ever got a load going to Sault Ste. Marie he'd come over and get me...but I never have yet.

I put the owl back in the garden last week,haven't seen the rabbits in it, (of course there's no beans for them to eat,they all died after they ate all the leaves off!) but the peach tree is bare.Lots of them rotted on the tree though.Now some type of creature is eating the pears-don't know if it's rabbits or squirrels because some are very close to the ground. It's got so many pears on it the top is bent over and one limb already broke from the weight. Last year it had about 3 pears on the whole tree. Hope I get some of the pears for myself,they're better'n peaches. They're the big 'ol yellow pears,very sweet. Got some apples on the tree too (the apple tree,not on the pear tree)-at least for now.Something will probably get them too before they get ripe

the red metal flake would look really good in the mixer,but they're a little out of my price range now-they do look good though!

sounds great! I like a thick steak too. I cooked a beast brisket yesterday. Tried one once before and I coated it with my rub and smoked it in the smoker oven.It was so salty you couldn't eat it-came swimming in brine,and I put more salt on it.Yesterday I followed the cooking directions on the package and boiled it first,let it simmer for a couple of hours,then smoked it in the antifreeze smoker for a couple more hours,and it came out very good.

looks good to me,I sure wouldn't hesitate to use them. And probably 99% of people would never notice they're not original equipment.

sorta-kinda-simpler,if 5th is overdrive in the main,it's a 13 speed tri-plex,if 5th is direct in the main you can use all 15 speeds.

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.
