Pictures of the Week

[other dog]

I've been working on cleaning up where my shed used to be, so I can start on getting a replacement shed-

I borrowed this magnet on wheels from work, it's got a super-strong magnet on it, i've been rolling it to and fro trying to pick up as many screws, nails, wrenches, sockets, etc. as possible.

 

So, I get to the shop last Sunday and some jackass had dropped a trailer right in front of my truck, in the middle of everywhere.

No problems though, plenty of room to get out-

Saw this mud bogger in S.C. somewhere.

Saw this BJ and the Bear looking truck in Charlotte, N.C.

I took a load of steel to Columbia, S.C. then went to Earhardt,S.C. and got a load of posts going to Schaefferstown, Pa.

...After I unloaded in Schaefferstown and went to Wellsville and got the load of aluminum logs that I unloaded in Prince George, Va. I saw this nice looking Ford truck in Crewe, Va. I didn't even see the voting booth there until I put the pictures on the computer.

Then I took a van load to Chester, W.V.  Had to go all the way to Columbus to get a return load, coming right back to Lynchburg. I-70 was shut down around the 2-hunnert mile marker because of an accident, so I got off on rt.40 to go around. I knew 40 was all good, because i'd delivered some wooden crane mats over there a couple of years ago...except that now the ramp was closed where you got back on I-70 because of construction. The guys at the construction site said to "turn left, go down to a crossroad where you can turn left, right, or keep straight, and turn left and it'll take you back to rt. 40."  So I did, and found myself behind two other trucks. And when we made that left at the crossroads we were on a dirt road.

There was a Deka truck, a Keen truck with the loader, and me- with a 53' 13-6 van- on a snow covered dirt road, trying to get back to the big road.

We finally got back to rt.40, then went back to I-70, and got in line about an hour or so behind where we were to begin with, and sat there for another hour. The only good part about it was that Dolly Parton happened to be right beside me.

These folks were behind me-

...and since seat cover season is pretty much over unless you're in sunny south Florida, here's a girl in a car picture from the interweb-

and here's another girl in a car picture from the interweb-

And here's a big Mack truck I used to drive, I scanned the picture from a photo album- digital cameras and the interweb hadn't been invented then.

another big Mack truck I used to drive-

And a bike I used to have, A 750 Kawasaki. Pretty bike,eh? I traded it in on an LTD1000 Kawasaki, which was just an awesome machine.

O.D. your tolerance level is much greater than mine .......your co driver wouldn't have liked where I would have parked his trailer   You could have brought that load of posts to me, I'm sure I could find a use for them, ..........I'm rethinking my letter to Santa ........ I think I want the contents of a gt r  thanks for the road trip. I would have posted mine but it was a gray, snowy, foggy type of day.

The BJ & Bear truck participated in the Special Olympics Convoy in Columbia SC last September.

Sounds like you had a less than hassle free week. Some of the sights sure made up for it though. Thanks for the pix and ride along.

Hard to read, but I just noticed the fine print at the bottom-

Keystone fence supply?    I use to deliver to a grocery store on the other side of 501 from them.

Yes, that's a good store too- I was thinking of what I was going to get to eat from the deli all the way up there, the food is great. When I got to Keystone I slogged across the wet alfalfa field in the pouring rain over to the store. My feet were soaking wet, even in my "waterproof" boots, and I was just soaked from the waist down. And the store was closed. They had a sign on the door saying they closed at 5 that day so they could have their Christmas banquet. So, I slogged back across the field in the pouring rain and had beany-weenys.

They have that stores big brother just up the road in Myerstown.    They have a nice restaurant / buffet there.        That sucks about the hike through the wet alfalfa.
