Pictures of the Week

I saw this unit at the truck stop in Grayson, Ky. Looked like that rear lift axle on the boom truck had caught fire, I don't know if it was from hot brakes and leaking seals, or maybe a bearing issue. Anyway, it did a lot of damage to the cab of the crane. Most of it was on the far side that you can't see in the picture.

Saw these cars there too. I had a '71 Mercury about like this one time. Same color even. I bought it for the 429 engine that was in it, thinking i'd eventually put it in the '69 F100 I had.

 A guy that lived in the neighborhood in Appomattox needed a Ford engine and stopped by to see if i'd sell it, so I sold it to him for more than i'd paid for the whole car. I really should have put the car on the road, it was in really good condition and only had just over 100,000 miles on it.

I saw the gateway arch too...not in Grayson, Ky, it was in St. Louis.

Then I saw the place where the Kansas City Royals play.

I saw a big truck in a field- why?..I don't know.

I think they should have moved the barricade back a little bit here- by the time you got to it the water was already 9 feets deep.

I passed several of these big tractors, pulling these big wagons on 460 east of Blackstone one day. Looked kind of like silage wagons. The black SUV was on a tow bar behind the front one. I don't know what they were or where they were going either.

I saw this Dodge polluting the atmosphere like this all the way across rt. 58 from South Hill to Emporia, except when it was going down hill.

Then when I was on the way home I saw these two girls hitchhiking, but I was going the wrong way.

So I turned around, and they decided that they would go the other way-

I like that '59 Ford hardtop and the  '59 Edsel station wagon. I went to the top of the Arch in St. Louis back  in 1998. Quite a claustrophobic ride up there but the view is terrific.

Around here there is a group that has a few tractors and wagons like that.         They have a high speed silage chopper thing they use and are harvest for higher people.   I've seen them on 501 in the shaefferstown area before.

What if you don't have the blue and white heart on the screen?

I got nil, zippo, squat, nada............

Same here. No blue and white buttons or any other buttons

The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.

The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.
