That's gonna be my next cooking project,deep fried porpoise.Spotted owls are getting harder and harder to find in the grocery store.It takes a lot of oil to deep fry a porpoise,but that's not a problem,I know just where to get enough on 3 pieces of chicken.

Sorry buddy but when I heard that voicemail you left me it cracked me up about the chicken. Funny road stuff..lol

So I gather you got the job operating the dozer Joe?

How is your family doing?

Paul VS

No I got royally screwed over on that deal. Can't trust family, not that It was for a family member, butMy brother in law works for the guy and I'm assuming changed his mind for him. My brother in law's an a$$ anyway. We are all doing good though, really spending quality time together though.

Yeah I got your message today. I got a new cell phone and didn't get the voicemail setup until today. True story no doubt.

I found it, not sure how I looked over it. Have you thought of a name for your bar and grill?

Hey there it is. Not sure how I missed this, but i sure did. Maybe that was some kind of new cab heater this guy was trying...lol. Or it was his lunchbreak and he was wanting a hotdog? Thanks for the pic buddy.

You could make it into your own truckstop. I would run the counter, Bollweevil could run the 24hr truck garage, You could be out back on the smoker, Paul could be the assistant chef. Hire some hooters girls pay them a little better and business it is. Of course have the occassional truck shows and you could park the mixer out front. Just let me know when you win the lottery, cause you might have to spot me a few bucks..lol. Would be nice to do something like that though.

uOK Joe,I can't take it anymore-how come you had no comment on the burning bulldozer picture? When I saw that picture I thought about you,just because you said you might be running a dozer in the woods-I wasn't trying to imply that you might catch it on fire your first day on the job and cook an oscar meyer weiner for lunch. You know a hot dog wouldn't taste good cooked over diesel fuel,plastic lines,rubber hoses,and foam seats.

Uh....I'm sorry, but I don't see a picture. Probably from dial up inernet. Did you post it on this blog? Sorry I would have commented on it. I don't think that would be a good hot dog over a nice warm dozer fire..lol. Maybe repost the picture or e-mail it to me.

I knew I could count on you!

Thanks,

Pul VS

you're welcome-let us know how they turn out. I posted a picture of that muddy jobsite in Point Marion,Pa. too. I should have gotten back further to show the hole and the fence and to better show how steep that bank was,but that's water under the bridge.

Sounds like you had a fun rest of the trip to florida from when I talked to you. You was talking about a/c I fixed ours in the suburban yesterday and today it's in the 50's. If you ever get tired of truckin' you could always open you own restaurant or bar & grill. I can cook some on the grill, but suck in the kitchen. Reading this is making me hungry...

Have a safe trip buddy

I would mail you one of the pork chops I cooked on the grill yesterday,but it would be 3 days old by the time it got there.

I always use a big hammer and a chisel to cut the top out of a barrel-power tools are too dangerous. Besides,I don't have a grinder anyway.

My poor ol grinder has been through he!! and back. I have plenty of chisels from my Pull-a-part trip, but no hammer big enough. I got about halfway through cutting it when she smoked, but can't complain it's about 5 years old with constant using. Reheated pork chops don't sound bad right know, I believe the pizza wore off about 4 this morning.

Here in east tenn. we had a few 65 degree days earlier this week thenrain yesterday that turned to snow this morning. Hardly any accumulation though. Those 379's are nice trucks, hope the deal goes through alright. When do you think the b-model will be done? If your like I am with the suburban you'll keep it off the road when there's alot of salt....lol. Good luck Paul and try to stay warm!!

We had all kinds of pictures of my mack and pictures from the car show in pigeon forge. Our computer crashed and lost all our pictures not sure where they go, but like you saod gone. Bad thing was those was the only pictures i had of that truck. We took back a scanner, printer combo back to wal-mart, because of the scanner not working. Hate to hear about your pictures.

Glad to see you made it through the rest of the week alright. There calling for snow here and it is, but it's only a couple of inches. ne thing that sucked about me working at the chipmill ws if you worked during the daytime you was stuck there on a beautiful day, or if you orked nights you slept most of the pretty days away. Dad always hated having to leave on sunday evenings, but like you said that's what a truck drivers life is...lways on the move seems like. See ya buddy

happy birthday to you,happy birthday to you

Thanks buddy, 23 and feel like i'm 63 in my knees.

Sound's like you had a fun day. I broke down a few miles from home once and had to walk, but was about 6 miles from home. 2 drunks picked me up and gave me a ride the rest of the way home. Come to find out they had both lost their license due to dui's. I told amber I would have rather walked. Last time I called your house it just rung constantly, maybe the same thing happened then. Try to have a better week buddy.

You learn something new every day-i'd have thought a baby consignment sale was where you bought babies!

And the nerve of that b...! It's still yours and she hit it,what it looks like doesn't matter.You should have rolled out the door onto the parking lot complaining about the pain in your neck and your back-I bet she wouldn't have thought that was so funny! I can't drive a big truck either. Jeff told me to drive his pickup-a Ford F-250- to the bank one day and I told him I couldn't drive a 102 wide,it was too big for the drive-thru window. It's not really,but I was afraid i'd knock the mirrors off of it.

I like driving a bigger vehicle, but you have to watch like you said in the bank, etc. We had to fold the mrrors in at the automatic car wash the other day, and the suburban was about to high for it. It was real fun going across hwy 92 in kentucky from willamsburg to pineville. That's a tight road just fo cars, but coal ruck run through there pretty heavy.

That's not a bad looking truck at all. I like that idea Paul would be nice with setups like that.

sounds like some major surgery. Maybe he thought you wanted the factory a/c option?? Sounds like she's coming along nicely though. Good luch, JOE

Great,thanks for the warning

No problem, Always glad to give someone a heads up that I'll be out on the road. Maybe that's why the police officer that worked my last wreck told me to keep in touch....

I talked to you when you was pulling off to take your nap.

Hey Joe & Amber,and Parker,and Paxton (I didn't know who came first,so I just put'em in alphabetical order )-I'm glad you finally checked in,saved me a trip to Tennesee to see what had happened to you. Hope something turns up for you soon. I've never run a bulldozer,but if it's like riding a bicycle they say you never forget!...bulldozer-bicycle.....well,they both start with a "b" anyway. Only thing is,if the bulldozer breaks down you probably won't be able to push it home.

I about forgot how to type..lol. It would suck having to push a bulldozer. It's like I told Amber about the ford, if I wanted to go on a long trip I would have to leave 4 days early take naps occasionally just from the slow ride. A dozer is slower, bouncier, but you can't get to bored though. I talked to a driver recruiting place also so I might see you out on the road soon.

Good to see you back on line. I called this week, just got voice mail. Hang in there, James

Sorry I haven't got back to you yet. Otherdog called me also. I accidentally left the cell phone in the suburban for 2 days so it was deader than 4 o'clock. Parker had an eye doctor's appointment today so it was our first day out since monday evening. It's great to be back online, but I'll probably be late saturday, cause I'm going back to harlan county to help my buddy grease his cabover and take his winterfront to him. I like having some time off, but this not working is about to kill me. I'll get in touch with ya James and Otherdog also. See ya guys, Joe...

That's something I was gonna do today, but the barber shop was closed...looks good though.

P.S. My mother in law is setting right beside me and says your a good lookin' man!!!!

Home time at last huh' buddy. I never thought those 475/550 cat motors was worth a crap. Are they gonna replace just the one turbo or both? Have fun this week, Joe.

He told me it took about a month to finally get everything back together because of the rain. He'll have to get on here and tell the full story it's good.
