I tie down 4 points, one at each corner, because my truck is not load rated for a steel wheeled farm tractor. :lol::lol:

Good point Larry! Any updates on John?

His white blood count was too low Thursday for chemo, he's pretty weak. But seems to be a little better today. He'll go back Thursday & they will give him a shot to increase wbc & try chemo then.

Good ‘ol truckin’ song and video- convoy. I believe there’s a 67/68 step in the video. Thankful for truckers

That movie cracks me up. How dare those bad police men should try to break up that 85 truck convoy.

I've always loved that song. I also like the movie even if it's a bit cheesy.

I got to my shop this morning in the pouring down rain. The head mechanic hollers at me and says "What are you fixin" to do?"

The quarry was shutting down and our people had talked them into letting us haul gravel to the school job next door 'till 10 AM.

I got to haul gravel. That's about my limit in a dump truck now a days, two hours.

This 71 Cheyenne Super has a GM crate engine and 700R4. It has been sitting for 5 or 6 years by my back door. I finally loaded it up to put in storage today.

We started watching a "Longmire" series marathon on Netflix from the beginning last night.

It's nice watching a show with no pc agenda and no advertisements.

My older son and his girlfriend are staying here through this. She got me all hooked up with Netflix and YouTube on my TV now. Been watching some good shows/series, no ads. Nice.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 
I wish I had a dog about now. Good time to train one.

This is Facetruck and I am here to report on yesterday. For breakfast I had...….…………… my left thumb is hurting in the second knuckle...………………….. neighbor's dog ran across the yard...
… I replaced the cedar shakes and rotted facia on the portico that hangs over the back door here.

So during this pandemic I have my older son and his girlfriend landed here. Late afternoon on the step ladder, all wrapped up in getting finished what I started before suppertime, I pause. My noise stops and I listen. I can hear my neighbor grinding on his '87 K20 out back, the sounds of my younger son hammering, working on his truck closer by in the driveway. And across the drive my son is running a sander, doing woodwork in his van. That was a great moment for me. Doesn't take much, and that did plenty. Just me and my boys being industrious. I got my little roof job done and a shower passed through before dawn, which I was not expecting. It's time to appreciate things we take for granted, in these times. That's for sure

Tim, My left thumb has been hurting in the first knuckle for over a month. I was trying to play guitar for my grandson yesterday and it hurt too bad too play well. At least that's my excuse.

I burned a brush pile yesterday.

It's looking real good. KB.

That dirt pile sends shivers up my spine. We leveled my front yard in San Dimas using only shovels. And that was a terrible idea. My back hurts just thinking about it.

Beautiful Shepherd. I always wanted a white one. They are great dogs and very good with kids.

Intruders...Not so much. :)

Yeah, and either thumb works, so you don't have to remember anything.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 
My thumb hurts so bad I can't play a single lick. Well, a single lick is all I can play. I can play a heap of one licks. Some might even be a chord. Random things do happen. My grandson doesn't play guitar but he's better than me

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 
Hey Other Larry, guess what? Your area has a lot in common with mine. I remember you making a comment about what you'd be told about Harrison if you looked it up. I just learned a lot about my county

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carroll_County,_Maryland

davischevy 04-12-2020 06:35 PM

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 
It's interesting what the authors of this stuff focus on Tim. BTW, Carroll County if the next county west of here.

special-K 04-13-2020 07:14 AM

Re: My Facetruck thread.
 
They really seem to focus on the racism. At least they give Harrison credit for change by telling about the award that one feller who was run out of town and came back. Can't dwell on this past if we want things to change. Got to focus on the positive at present. I never heard any of that stuff they told about my county. Or even my town! Around here they talk about an area north of here in Frederick County as KKK active. And some head cheese living in Rocky Ridge, in that county.

Lots of similarities. I'm looking at a place I'd like to buy in Boonesboro, MD. And Davis is one of the five original families of the Mt Airy area. Mt. Airy is a late bloomer in this area because it came about from the railroad coming about. The National Road passed over the ridge at what is now Mt. Airy, but when these five families settled it was called Parrs Ridge. A RR man came up with the Mt. Airy name because it gets so windy on the ridge.

I thought it was interesting to learn German was the prime language of this county until after the civil war.
