Pictures of the Week

[other dog]

I didn't do much- no, wait, I did do much this week, just didn't take a lot of pictures of it. I went to Houston, a place in Texas, with a load of beams.

My unit sitting at the shop, all clean- I took this just moments before the biker gang rolled up on me.

 

I stopped in Niota, Tn. where I saw this girl go in the truckstop with her hair down, then she came out a few minutes later with her hair in a ponytail...not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

I saw a slurpee too.

 

Every time I go by Miller's in Chattanooga I think of "Highway Thru Hell"- good show, by the way- and the time Jamie Davis went there to pick up his new wrecker. They had put the body on wrong, with too much space between the cab and body, and when he left with it the step almost fell off and was dragging on the road before he was out of sight good. He pulled over and put some duct tape on it and went on with it instead of taking it back. He needed the truck badly and they were already way behind schedule getting it finished for him anyway.

 

 Later, I saw a girl in a car at a red light.

 

I saw a big bridge in Louisiana.

 

We're all stopped, it's raining and there was an accident ahead.

 

I saw a dog peeing on a trash can and a bird with a long tail at the Pilot in Houston.

I saw a girl in a car at a red light while I was on the way to Blytheville, Ar.

 

 

Saw lots of these log trucks in Texas, I didn't know they used these type of set ups anywhere except in the great northwest.

 

I saw these fine looking units in Arkansas.

 

Fitzgerald Gliders in Tennessee- pretty big place,eh?

 

 

Praying mantis on the trailer-

OD,good pictures as usual! I also enjoy "Highway thru he'll" That was quite a ride for Jamie from the "Choo choo" to B.C.! That k whopper looks good when it's shined up! Do they have a full size Pilot in Houston now? Only had that convenience store t.s. on I 610 the last time I was there,looks like a former Flying J.

That's where I was at, on 610. It was right beside a Loves Truckstop.

Tom, thank you for sharing.

The girl in the blue T-shirt seems to me as a one I would like more if I never go over it, seeing her back side only. Maybe it's just a question of the hair style, I don't know.

Nice shot with the plenty of trucks for sale in Tennessee. They trucks look good when put in a row of such a big number.

Wonder what actual size that Praying mantis was? Seems it was large enough to cook some soup of. Not too fatt soup though.

And I don't remember ever seeing anyone sunbathing in a truck stop
