Popular Post other dog Posted January 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2020 Passed through Drakes Branch the other day, the rusty B-61 sleeper is still sitting there. I went to a museum in Fl. Two of them actually. I didn't bother to take my camera in because I wasn't expecting to see anything interesting. I was mistaken- I saw an R model in this Coca Cola display- But the neatest thing was this scale model of an actual sugar mill in Cuba. I saw an R model dump truck on a trailer on 95 too. We went to Daytona, this gives you an idea of just how steep the banking is on the track- I saw a huge reptile at the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive- And a small reptile at a park in Orlando. I saw a prairie dog. This Montgomery truck was burning on I-81 in Tn.a couple of weeks ago. You could see the smoke for miles before you got there. The driver had dropped the trailer and gotten out from under it before he had to bail out, it was loaded with plywood. This Ford was sitting where I delivered a load of pipe in Pa. Had to take the stacks off to get through a 12' 3" underpass to get there. I didn't put them back on, I strapped them on the trailer and let them do it at the shop. I saw this truck pull in to the N.B. Handy Co. in Lynchburg with a load of coils. I was astonished when he pulled his tarp off, even though it was a CRST truck. The front coil was well secured, the rest pretty much not at all. Looks like they're on the floor too, your coils should not be touching the floor. ...and here's the usual girl in a car, from the interweb- for no good reason. 7 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

I thought you would, and birds everywhere do too, knowing that they're equally represented along with the reptiles and mammals. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Rob Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) What about vertebrates, (Republicans) and invertebrates, (Democrats)? Where do they fit in amongst the world's fairness?

h67st Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 That sugar mill is fantastic! I rode around Indianapolis Motor Speedway in a tour van when I was a kid, it felt like the thing was going to tip over because of the steep banks.

Brocky Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Paul There is a sugar mill along the A1 in the Mackay / Sarnia QLD area which has a mini mill in front of it, open to the public, which shows the whole operation, plus some antique harvesting equipment in the yard. There are some pictures of it here: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip?PageIndex=7 scroll down towards the bottom of the page Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 If you go to Daytona to the race, or bike week, or just to visit, the Museum of arts and Sciences is not far from the speedway, and very easy to find, because I painted a red stripe in the street for you when I was there. Just follow the red line from the speedway down to S. Nova, turn right, the museum is down a little ways on the right. They have a planetarium, we didn't see that, but they have a lot of Coca Cola stuff, train stuff, the sugar mill and cigar stuff from Cuba, and much more. There might be birds near there too. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 was that Nagy dump heading north, or south? did you happen to notice who was hauling it? Ken normally buys, not sells old Macks.

Ken normally buys, not sells old Macks. It was headed south. I took the picture in S.C. when traffic was backed up because of an accident. Couldn't get a very good picture, but it was behind a white 9400 International, didn't notice the name. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Fish, I saw fish too- catfish. The menu at a little food place at the Daytona Speedway. The prices look like they can be changed easily, they probably jack these already sky-high prices up through the roof during race week. The concession stands in the grandstands are probably even more expensiver. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Tom, Thanks for all the pictures of your Florida trip.. The picture of the ice handling equipment reminds me that if any of you are able to get to the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mtn Lake NY, they have a big display of the ice harvesting from frozen lakes to ice down the milk trains coming out of the St Lawrence River valley en route to NYC. They also have a Linn truck with log bunkers in the forestry section. You and the redhead need to come up to Cortland NY for the Brockway weekend and visit all the beautiful upstate. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to haul lumber from Drakes Branch, Va. up to Cortland, N.Y. It was a good run, I liked it but haven't been there for years. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
