Pic of the Day

[Deaf Bob]

Bridge beams, gym rafter beams, power poles with and without the car trailer..windows (he, being the smart ass called it "cooked sand")
Chips, lumber hog fuel, veneer, and plywood... Just off the top of my head.
15-20 mph steep curvy roads on the coast range, town is no longer there. 2 stick shifter Pete, one hand thru the steering wheel, other shifting normally, double clutching, bouncing cab, slowly it torques and next gear, starts all over..
His last truck, just flick a button, shift, button, shift, button.. Almost no skill, big power. 707 cockpit it seems. Old Pete had just oil, water pyro, air and tach.. Speed by tach..
Trucking sure changes.. I drove a Kenworth drop box auler, V-8 Cat, twin stick shifters.. Got in the new ones.. Oh lordy!

Normally I'm not superstitious, but when Dad asked if I wanted to go up for a spin with him....



I had cause for a pause....

A couple of daily drivers.

A pipe dream, but one has to have hope...

[Barry Donovan]

finnegans show is helping that thought along tardis.




found this in the paper.. city police are much smarter.

the amount of challenged here is incredible. It is so overwhelming, even well respected stay on their toes.
The older I get, the more I know the battle zone called maine has to be left behind..
I can't stand it anymore.

there is some comedy however.
my own brother has a special learn curve, left behind all the time..
that gets anger.

I am somehow related to UFC...
uhhhmmm. Yeah.
ok.
reminds me of my military tour as an aircraft mechanic gone special forces in the dark in england.


my own life, it is as if to be bait. The physical impression of me, and what I really am.. very contrasted.
adds to comedy.

I was just rolling my truck around finding a squeak..on my back, hands spanning the 32 inch tread. It occurs to some that is 5000 pounds sitting there with my bacon veiny arms and barely a breath to narrow it down.

crooks, they do not know bullshit has two directions.

[Barry Donovan]

little house living.



this one is a 1946... not a single year is abandoned since then.
the sale history must have started in 4 digits.
422 sq feet.
imagine surviving it all..as a midget.

I wonder how many millionares moved on from it, giggling.
Right now it is at 156 bucks a square foot...

[malc]

Hey malc, whereīs yer trans ?

[Deaf Bob]

Lil foot heavy there, Malc?

[malc]

Itīs a B/M trans bought in 1996, it seemed to be high revving the engine in fourth, higher than I am used too.
Even though the trans man said he found nothing untoward itīs getting new internals.
The shop owner is well past retiring age but he does know transmissions, the shop has been there since 1952 and
heīs worked there all his working life.
He doesnīt understand the hotrodder mentality though.
Itīs getting a Level 3, 700 Raptor Super Master Rebuild Kit.

[Gerrit]
