Red Sky In The Morning, Great Britain!Sitting under rainclouds
Painted across my ceiling
Come look me in the eye
Tell me what I'm seeing

The floor is running to the ocean
But can't get through the door
I tried to talk some sense to it
But it only creaked and roared

My chest of drawers is sighing
As he reads the evening news
He also has a penchant
For vintage rhythm and blues

Here on my bed it's Autumn
As I wind 'midst dark avenues
Thro' forests tall and silent
Gazing at the views

Finally the lamp intones
With voice of baritone brass
To let him borrow a square
If I could spare a match

Alphonse the Persian Rug
Is playing the piano
Sultry notes swooning
A melody in legato

I he

Android LoveThey say it's bound to fail
Like I'm loving chainmail
But I surely affirm
That they are wrong

I want to kiss you like a song

Her perfume makes me smile
It's found in the mechanic aisle
Although I haven't known you long

I want to kiss you like a song

Some think it's rude
But Asimov would approve
She'll party dusk to dawn

I want to kiss you like a song

Western Star 4800TS (Twin-Steer) Tri-Drive

Now...I don't know the specs for this truck, but I'm certain it's as bad as they come.

Not only does it have twin steering axles, but it is also a "tri-drive," which means all three rear axles are powered. This is a rare set-up for a semi-truck. And the company that is transporting these, has been taking them up to Northern Canada.

I would LOVE to take this bad boy out in the woods on some logging road and raise some hell.

First, you hook it up to a heavy load, say about 200,000lbs. Then, you engage the cross-locks, which are devices that lock all 3 differentials together: side to side/front to back.
Finally, you find the biggest, baddest haul road, and put the throttle down. Oh yeah!

Here is another view of this truck: [link]

Here is a different tri-drive with a single front axle: [link]

That's so powerful looking. It's surely handsome, too. The all around most impressive looking semi-truck I've ever seen. I'd like to see a lady in a pink, or purple one.

My dad was a long-distance hauler all of his life. I think he might've transported everything at one time, or another.

Thanks again for sharing, Stan. Great stuff.
