other dog

Yes, he's got loads of old trucks there, lots of B models, and pretty much whatever else you can think of. I don't know what they're going to do with them. P.L. passed away a few years ago and his sons still run the trucking company, and as far as I know all the old trucks are still there.

I think I have a bunch more pictures from the Iowa 80 museum on the Flickr account. Just click on "albums" at the top, should be an Iowa 80 album in there.

I saw that on Facebook yesterday. There and right here were the only places I knew him from. I never met him in person, but he's been here forever it seems like. That was enough to tell me what a genuine good person he was.

I didn't look REAL close, but that's a nice looking body on it.

Here's some more pictures I took. I just got these off the camera, the others were on the phone. Some fine looking Internationals. A few Fords- An Autocar- and last but not least, a big Mack truck-

just click on the picture for more exciting pictures.

Sorry you're sick, I hope you're both feeling better soon.

Yes indeed, that is a nice family friendly place. As a matter of fact, a couple with 2 boys who looked to be around 8 or 10 years old were sitting 2 booths down from us. You won't see anything there that you won't typically see every time you turn the TV on anyway.

Gregg Hoffman was out there last week too, under dog on BMT. I stopped there and checked out the museum when I was still driving, and you're right, it's well worth the stop. Me and Zina have been talking about maybe driving out there to see it again sometime, she's never been. It's almost as good as the Keystone Museum, just not nearly as big.

Probably, but I couldn't say for sure. I've been wanting to get back down there to look around. I haven't been since P.L. passed away. I know one thing, when I first posted a picture of that Conco the Tackaberrys from Canada contacted me right away, wanting to know who's it was, where it was, if it was for sale, the usual stuff, so I know they were highly interested in it.

I went to Hooters once, it's almost as good as Twin Peaks.

We're leaving tomorrow, headed back north. Zina had to come down and get her taxes done.

Wow, that bull nose brought top dollar! I like that blue and white cabover, that went pretty reasonable.

I took that picture myself, it's down at P.L. Duncan's in Cumberland county Va. That's a D860 GMC on the other side of it. The truck looked to be in roadworthy condition when I saw it, had a 290 Cummins and a 10 speed.

It was her idea to stop, just because 1958FWD egged her on. I tagged myself there on Facebook as we were driving by. Of course he had to come back with the "pics or it didn't happen" post, so Zina said "we'll just show him!" I didn't even want to stop, I said "we don't have time, I've got to cut Vicki's grass". The grass never did get cut. I've got other things going on now- like chicken and ribs.

I must say, That one in the middle was quite stunning.

That's all I've got so far...yeah, we're in sunny Florida.

What's that, the Brockway show?

Yeah, no more than I drive the pickup I probably wouldn't even put tires on it. My Ranger pickup wouldn't pass inspection one time because of dry rot cracks that weren't near this bad. I just took it to another inspection station, and they passed it. But, we're thinking of moving back over to the Appomattox area to be nearer to family, and civilization in general. Heck, it's nearer to everywhere. Zina said we're not thinking, it's a done deal. So we're going to move to Appomattox. Anyhow, I wouldn't want to be driving up 501 with a mattress, coffee table, and TV on the back and suffer catastrophic tire failure, so I might just go get some tires on it. It's old enough that I could get antique tags for it, then you don't even have to have it inspected in Va. but I'm not going to go that route unless I have to.

Back in my younger days people would have a party or cookout and order a keg sometimes. You had to order them in advance from the beer distributor and rent the tap too. Many folks have spent all evening and half the night trying to "float the keg", only to end up passed out on somebody's lawn. It seemed like the thing to do at the time, but they didn't realize just how much 15 1/2 gallons of beer really is. I've been called the day after such events before and heard "hey, Joe's got half a keg of beer left and he's got to have the keg back by tomorrow, come on over!". I tried to do my part to help out. I knew a guy who had a refrigerator in his basement and kept a pony keg in it. He had the tap mounted on the side and could just grab a red Solo cup and have a cold draft beer whenever he wanted, that was pretty neat.

If you're going to do all that, I'm coming down there too. Winston-Salem's not far from here.

This one that I used to drive was in it- There was several there that I recognized, Underdog's 2 F models were in there too.

A year ago today I planted some potatoes and onions, then had a big red beer. This year I haven't planted anything. I might have a big red beer later though.
