Where is everyone #5

Slow week too. Got 5 inches into Sunday night/Mon morning and another 5-8 expected tomorrow. One load booked for Thursday. This broker is always good about having the loads a week plus in advance but it's 50/50 chance in the winter if you get stuck with a loser Lol.

Don't know the weather for next week but have 2 of them already
And pa always shutting the roads down the last few years since they were caught with their pants down a few times

 

Less preservatives in the bread back in the day so it would spoil quicker?

 

True…

You do know what’s used in bread for flour and has been for many years right…?


When driving on I64 here in WV rolling east, when you cross the nitro bridge at the 45 yard line, just off to the right about 3/8 mile use to be International Filler of WV.


While drilling 3 sand wells there to supply water to cool the ball mills, Donavon the supervisor explained what they do there.


The 1 thing that got my attention was the filler they make for bread companies. They used huge rolls of paper and ground it up in to a dust and sold it to make filler for bread. Never felt so much like a termite in my life lol.


But yes bread has a short shelf life….

 

That sounds tasty.

With the stroehamnn white bread and the local Italian bread made in Binghamton, the Italian bread goes bad if you don't finish it within ~5 or so days

 

Hmmm, that explains why people get fat from eating bread.

 

Guess it was the better choice. Just noticed that it seems popular. Think I did eat at one once.

 

What was the problem? I used to stop in there all the time on the way to Houston, when they were just Gateway. Nice large lot concrete, had barbecue diner, big bathrooms marble, all kinds of eats and drinks. Used to get some interesing stuff there. So, I take it since it's TA now, all the "special" stuff that made it unique is gone now or something like that? Worse comes to worse, at least it's got some decent parking on good concrete.

 

Yep, i do that too. Feet against the frame pushing out. Works the whole body. Here's the homemade, redneck AF contraption I came up with. Functional, free, and just enough thought into how to do it for free to make my depression era grandpa proud.

Even used the support stands from his old John Deere for the uprights.

It's OK if you laugh, I don't mind.

 

Thanks Jim!
