Finally!..about time, but i've been busier than a 3 legged cat covering up doo-doo. Busier than a 1 legged man in an ass kicking contest. Busier than- well, you get the idea.

 

Y'all know the deal- just click on the picture for more exciting photos.

Tommy and Zina::  Thanks for the pictures.. That Brockway Pick up on the drop deck with the military 4X4 chassis is one I have NOT seen before.. The Dalrymple on the door was a large sand, stone, and concrete company from Elmira NY which is the 50's and 60' had a large fleet of all Brockways.

Yessir, there were several trucks there this year that I hadn't seen before. Quite a few actually, but overall I think it was the fewest trucks i've seen there. I think I said the same thing last year, but this year I'll blame the weather. There was a 90% chance of rain on Saturday and it did. A lot of trucks were leaving Friday afternoon. We went Saturday morning for just a few minutes and probably half the trucks were already gone.

Need more new pics!  The things you spot on the road are WAY more interesting than the things I see around here.

[mowerman]

Yeah, same here hardly see anything interesting around here

I have mentioned before I have been out here 42 years I’ve only seen two brockways entire time. One was working in LA. The other one was at a truck show also in LA Ontario raceway and that was 20 years ago… bob

We were planning to go to the Dying Breed Diesels Family Reunion in Columbiana, Oh. this weekend but we called and cancelled our motel reservation. The show was only for Saturday afternoon, but we thought it would be a nice drive across the mountains in the fall. But, again, they're saying there's a 100% chance of rain Saturday so we called it off.

[mowerman]

Wise choice it’s raining here now.. bob

That sucks we have a big antique car show here every year hot August nights you probably heard of it a lot of years it rains and it’s in the middle of August which is usually unusual because it’s mainly 150° here at that time feel sorry for these guys that get their cars all cleaned up and polished and then it rains all over them. That’s sucks.

Yep, like Charlie Tackaberry. He drove that International hauling a Dodge Bighorn down from Canada. Got there Friday, unloaded, then everything was pretty much over with. Long ways to come to get rained out.

Thanks the great for the pics!

Looks like the day was really nice before it started raining. The line up of Big Horns is impressive. Aside of them there were plenty of pleasure to see trucks.

Just in case anybody was wondering, this truck won the slow truck race this year. Wasn't even close!

I've been to Gladys twice this week, we need to get a move on over there so we can sell it. I like to take the back roads all the way. These 2 old stores are at a crossroads along the way. Every time I see an old store like this I wish I could go inside just to look around, and I always wonder what it was like when it was open.

Saw these halloween decorations in a field too.

I pass by this old mill too, i'd also like to take a closer look at this but i've never stopped.

Meanwhile, on the home front i've been processing peppers, making hot sauce and drying a lot for seasoning use.

My old dehydrator quit, so I had to get another one.

When I don't have enough sauce left to fill a fancy new bottle I just pour it in the old grenade bottle, I keep this for myself.

I think i've come a long ways making hot sauce. I've been making it for years, just for a hobby. It gets better all the time, I think anyway. I used to just grind up raw peppers in the blender with enough vinegar to liquify it, then put it in a pot and bring it to a boil, then pour it into bottles- pulp, seeds, and all. I used recycled hot sauce, worcestershire sauce, and little wine bottles to put it in. Now I order new bottles to put it in. I cook the peppers down almost to a mush in the crock pot with vinegar, sea salt, and garlic, then we stick the hand blender thing in there and liquify it, adding more vinegar if needed. Then we strain it before we bottle it, makes a much better sauce I think. I've done about 3 dozen bottles so far, i'm going to make more as soon as more cayennes turn red.

 I also filled in about 6 holes in the back yard yesterday. The two underneath the back porch were the biggest ones.

I have an idea how they got there, but I have no proof.

those two abandoned "stores" look more like old gas stations to me.

I like your "pineapple grenade" bottle!

Wow! Impressive fact! Sure adds "colorfulness" to the event

[Vladislav]

I would suggest so detailed description of the way the hot sause to be performed may sky rocket chances of possible competitors to produce  ̷c̷h̷e̷a̷p̷ ̷C̷h̷i̷n̷e̷s̷e̷  alternative products. So seems better to not share the know-how. 

Love the look of that old mill. With this type of season and the weather it brings memories of my fall cruising of neighbourhoods in PA, NJ and CT in 2018.

They probably sold gas too, most country stores did, a long with whatever else you might need. Groceries, clothes, hardware. I remember a lot of old country stores when they were open, and as small as they were they seemed to have a little of everything.

I think Vicki from Florida got that for us when we were in Florida. It had hot sauce in it originally, I don't know what kind it was but it was orange. I liked the bottle too and kept it and when I was looking for something to put leftover hot sauce in I saw it and the old light bulb came on!
