Popular Post other dog Posted April 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2017 Some pictures I took going to New Mexico- i'll start off with this girl on her phone in that red car- Some old trucks on I-40 in Arkansas- they've been sitting there for a long time. Nice flame coming out of the stacks. More golden fields- I probably shouldn't have taken pictures of golden fields, to conserve battery power,eh? Neat looking old store and gas station. More old trucks. Now that's a beautiful place! 8 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted April 23, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2017 More old trucks. I was hoping to make Amarillo Saturday night, but I didn't quite make it. I was going to stop at the Big Texan. Several people have said that it wasn't that great anyway, but it would have been nice to experience it one time. 11 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted April 23, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2017 Train- Nice! You'd almost expect to see Wile E. Coyote up there somewhere- Old truck next door to the place where I delivered the beams- At the lava rock getting place- A load of lava rock- waiting on that last pallet. A hand full of lava rocks. I think they just use them for landscaping, but they seem to be real popular. 6 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Brocky Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yours are prolly for landscaping, But the ones I hauled were to Wrangler Laundry's for "stone washed" Blue Jeans.. Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted April 23, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2017 Got the rocks loaded, strapped, and tarped, headed north on I-25 back to I-40- Headed back east- More old units- More old units- it would have been nice to stop here too. The original load of rocks going to Hagerstown, Md. that I was supposed to load got canceled, and I sat out in the street for about 5 or 6 hours until they got another load there, going to Columbus, Ohio. So by the time I got loaded I had to get as far as I could in the time I had left. The last picture I took before the battery died- 9 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

HarryS Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Looks like a fun trip, so much to see you can't do it all. How does the weight of those lava rocks compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the weight of those lava rocks compare? The weight of the pallets vary some, they weigh each pallet and write the weight on the plastic with a sharpie. This load was 26 pallets and the total weight was not quite 47,000 lbs. This should have been a C.H.Robinson load, because it was definitely "cheap and heavy." The load going out paid good, about $3600 to the truck, the lava rock only paid a little over a dollar a mile. Should have left them out there and deadheaded to Blytheville and gotten a good load, would have paid about the same. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Brocky Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 FWD The fire truck man is Gerald Burns, shop address is Palatine Ark and he lives nearby. About 12-15 years ago I saw his garage door open and parked on the shoulder and climbed the fence, Spent about an hour visiting with him. I cannot remember his email address, as I lost it in a puter crash, but part of it is roundengineman@??? He also has a 41 Ford / Buffalo that was stationed at Stewart Field in Newburg NY during the war. and the day I was there he was restoring an 30's Ahrens Fox for someone. Do you have a member listing for the fire truck club? Am pretty sure he is a member.. Hope this helps Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Seems you can't buy a gas grill with lava rocks anymore. It certainly affects the quality of grilling, as the rocks tend to even out the Heat. I've given up and gone back to charcoal.Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
