OK photo 10 will do me . It is a nice truck. I hope the Canadians will

OK, now that you know what it looks like, go back to all the other photos
where we told you it was and see if you can see it in the photos... It
really *is* there, ok?

no, but it is a nice truck smaller than ones I have driven in WA but a nice

It's a standard sized 18-wheeler... You get much larger than that and you

yep hit lots of roo's and cattle. Of course the reason there are called
"bullbatr" on the truck is because bulls/cows/camels are a bugger to hit( so
we give the name to the most often hit, well they could be steers)  not as
bad as a buffalo though.  :-(.  What I did hate to hit were the Wedge Tail
eagles ( or in fact any eagle) problem is that they are eating the roadkill
and pigged out are slow to take off.

Driving in NW WA I was also diving in NW WA when the NW reefs were not
popular. Shark Bay was still a hard to get to dive site and dolphin feeding
at Monkey Mia  was a crap and bizarre idea but still not PR

by saying the photos you took of the truck shows a nice truck? Or by saying
that it is smaller than the trucks I used to drive ( btw I have also driven
ore trucks). Are you feeling inadequate that someone drove a bigger truck or
just feeling inadequate?

 At this point, you've lied so much, so many times, that no one believes a
word you say.

 There's nothing on this planet even remotely connected to your resistance
that could ever make me feel inadequate.

 I'm willing to bet big money on my honor.

 You're too chickenshit to bet a dime.

 When I put up $1000 against nothing from you, you still couldn't swing it.

 That decides who the windbag is.

 Not only did you completely, despicably, drop the ball, you ran and slid
and cowered from the bet call around the NG like the biggest pussy in the
world (after your girlfriends' that is).

 Me paranoid?

 I'm not the one making all the accusations about a picture that several
people handed me the URL to.

 Now, -that's- an -actual example- of someone being paranoid, like you
constantly fail to provide.

 Maybe you need to keep off your blue pills you always go on about.

 Then you wouldn't "fixate', as you say, about me and Scott's sex lives
like you constantly do, and you could give Fat Cathy a pump once in a while
instead.

So, what if he doesn't conceal them?  Is it ok then?  You know, hide them
in plain sight, just like the other photos of his truck that you can't
seem to recognize...

 Probably depends on medication errors.

 Wow.

 You responses get more and more cowardly with every post.

 What a yellow-striped scumslug.

 Futile John would be proud, though.

 Yeah, it's the same truck that you can see elsewhere for about a year now,
if you didn't have a room-temperature I.Q., Stupid Dave.

 But you're too stupid to find it, or too cowardly and spineless to admit
you did.

 Either way, you're a yellow piece of sh.t.

 And I never said I drove this vehicle into Canada with a concealed weapon.

 That's just another one of your delusions.

 Ooouchhh. :-)

 Nuther tough truck driver day for me today, wondering what kinda breakfast
will match my state of hangover, and getting ready for the 12:45 (Alaskan
zone) Summit excursion.

 I was going to leave in the morning, but they opened the line to Carcross,
YT, so I'll stay another day or two. :-)

Hmm, International System of Units (SI) which is known by you as a
metric system uses Kelvin scale for measuring temperatures. Room
temperature is about 293K, what for IQ would not be bad. Of course
Doug as the rest of Metoos went cryogenic. BTW AFAIK only 3 (three)
countries didn't adopt metrics, what makes them backward ....<nice
innocent grin>

Depending upon what you are doing, you use either Celcius or Kelvin with
the metric system... In everyday use with regards to room temperatures,
they use Celcius, not Kelvin... If you want to start talking about
absolute zero based temperature measuring scales, we can go with ours --
Rankine which would mean that our room temperature IQ person (527R) would
be smarter than your room temperature IQ person (293K)... Damn, 80%
smarter no less...

I'm sorry, but Kelvin is SI base unit
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/units.html
and Celsius is only one of derived units. Of course it is widely used,
but still not SI base unit

I'm sorry, but it doesn't change anything. Everybody with IQ above 145
is considered as a genius and there is not any method of testing
anybody with IQ higher than 210.

BTW why do you consider Rankine as yours. IIRC he was Scottish ;-)

Nice scenery! How do they keep the roads that clean
