Dave, Are you aware Perkins sold out? Century Aggregates from Albany bought all the Perkins facilities. Century is Clemente. Clemente came to US from Italy in 1903 -his grandkids run it now. He also started Bonded ready mix in Albany . Check out their website. PS This is my Mack on the scales at Sterling a couple of years ago. this was my post in the ATHS 45th anniversary book. My caption was..."as I pull off the scales at the quarry I wonder if the gGranite in back of me will be on the road 60 years from now."

I don't think anybody has any problems at all with people coming here legally, obeying the law, being good citizens in general. But when all the illegals have been just walking across the border freely for the last several years that should be everybody's problem. I'm sure some are good people and I'm just as sure some are absolutely no good, the drug dealers, rapists, robbers, and murderers. And they are only here to take advantage of the system, be it by criminal activity, collecting welfare by false pretenses, or voting for democrats. And you mean that even though these thugs and criminals walked into this country illegally they can't be rounded up and shipped back to wherever they came from legally? Common sense should apply here, but it obviously does not. It's a good thing I'm not king for a day, when I hauled their asses back I wouldn't land the plane, I'd just open the door and say "get out", in my Arnold Schwarzenegger voice.🤣

US? Is this the same "us" as the "we" who were recently "doomed"? Again, I ask, who is us? Don't speak for me, I am neither owned nor doomed. My life is good and I am happy and content with the way things are going.

Geoff....no offence (please) some of these bad actors that are here amungst us now are so beyond false credentials and in bed with those who should be enforcing our laws it's sickening. There's huge money being made off so much of these things and in the digital age so much can be covered up at the speed of light. It's crazy what goes on and the number of people willing to "sell out" our country for their own gain or to save their own neck ??? Anyone really believe van halen or whatever his name is really cares about the MD dad ? and don't even try tell'n me if you were broke down alongside the road you wouldn't be uncomfortable if ol MD dad was the only guy to stop if you were alone. MY rights to life , liberty and pursuit of happiness have been trampled on for decades by the same ilk who preach all this nonsense about rights of law breakers.

I seem to need to make some adjustments as my front tires don't seem to be wearing out like they used to..... Muncie Dragway this past weekend.

Looks like a major pain in the ass

I was saving this project for retirement but I’m getting a jump on it

Running unregistered vehicles on the street reminds me of the ATHS National Show in Colorado Springs CO...The host hotel, and meetings, was about 2 blocks from the Arena where the show was held and some of the restaurants were in a strip mall across the street from the hotel.. Golf Carts EVERYWHERE!!!!! I guess the the Police Dept decided it was not worth trying to corral 1000 retired truck drivers on rental golf carts!!!

To be clear, so-called "constitutional protections" do not apply to non-citizens within the United States illegally.

That's cause you guys down under are typically engaged in extreme truck'n. Maybe it's not totally dust dust dust. But I but your trucks spend way more time at full power , which equates into way way more air moving through 🤔 everything

No affiliation. Saw on FB Marketplace but thought it was a pretty interesting truck so I figured I would post it here and see what everyone thinks. Obviously its a ton of money. I'm not sure who the market would be for a truck like this. Collectors or Guys looking for a reliable old school workhorse. I would think a super heavy spec day cab that is 5-10 years old would be around the same money. Question I have is do you think there are guys that are willing to spend $75k on something like this and use it daily? 1984 RD686 Mack tractor with 25k org miles.300 6 sp 58,000 rears 11x22 tires wet system fenders 18 F - Commercial Vehicles - Boston, Massachusetts | Facebook Marketplace | Facebook

New addition at the shop looks great I think it’s ligit

I think if I ever got in trouble in Reno I'd just tell 'em I know Bob. "Oh, you know Bob? Well, that changes everything, you're free to go sir, sorry for any inconvenience".

2023 picture: she is still very attractive at 66 years young.

I'm not talking about overturning the law. I'm talking about enforcing the law as it is law to be enforced. Not the law to be enforced because of political belief. There's been a lot of picking and choosing as of the past several years based on emotion and not what law reads. THAT is scarier than actually overturning the law. There's over ten million examples of broken laws in the country over the last four years. One or two questionable deportations is all of a sudden a reason to start redefining the writen law ? I have more belief in what I see in front of a Home Depot than in the thoughts of a ranking official who can't explain what a woman is.

Its sad for me Bob... I dont want to be this way, but these criminals are forcing me to hate them.. they brake the law to get here, then they want the law to protect them... NOPE !! Maybe the ones who support these criminals should open their homes and let them stay there during the legal process.. It should only take a year or more...

Geoff, I think(??) I understand that the Constitution was written to protect the rights of people who are American Citizens.. BUT< BUT how does someone who ILLEGALLY entered this country have any rights??????? It seems that there are a group of politicians in our Congress that DO NOT believe in the Constitution and at the very least be voted out of office. I guess that the voting Americans and the courts will eventually decide.. I HOPE!!!!!

So after 5 years I'm going to get back at this (can't rush these things). Started to cut off the ugliness on the back. Not a lot of frame beyond the rear spring hanger and the pintle hitch is pretty awful. I've been thinking of getting an air ride cutoff and upgrading to hub pilot although then I'll have to do something with the front to match.. it would be nice to get the gearing to around 3.70 to get more highway friendly. Got a couple of toolboxes on the shelf that will fit behind the cab nice. Also time to ditch the air assist and put on the power steering that's been sitting in the toolbox since I bought it 7 years ago.

I liked the oil baths, cheaper to service, so they got serviced more. Not to mention I never opened one up and found flaking rust on the engine side of the element

In Australia and NewZealand we run a second aircleaner for the tip turbine air only Paul

I think you all are missing the big issue here, the motor is sucking unfiltered air back thru the intercooler There's nothing to stop air entering the intercooler outlet and through the intercooler backwards and straight through to the motor I'm thinking the air will take the path of the least resistance Maybe the turbine is so loud because when it is been driven it is driving against air that's already going the wrong way Paul

I have found that "following our hearts" and later the "regrets "came when the sentence ended with I DO.

Will have to see if I can find this to watch it While I'm dicking about looking for it, have a ganda at this Or maybe this Or some other brand of who ha Paul

That's how I look at it, we were watching some show on TV last night, Zina calls it "the jailbirds" but that's not the name of it. And it showed these 2 gay guys, one had just gotten out of jail, and his boyfriend was in the hot tub at the motel waiting for him to get there, and it showed them hugging and kissing. And what they do on their own time is their own business, that's between them and God, but I don't want to see that crap.

Yes yes.....after reading a different thread here I'd strongly recomend avoiding the free horse.

Yeah, well she will wear my ass out with mood swings.. so,,, it is not all Peaches and Cream.. remember,,,, you can't 'F' with a creature that can bleed for 5 days and not die... Just sayin'.

and don't forget :: being a little on the "trashy side "means they are content with a good burger and fries :::don't need a full four course meal with cloth napkins and fine china, so I've heard LOL

I called this one a hussy 2 days ago and she hasn't talked to me since It's kind of peaceful and quiet now

she could probably give beyonce"some pointers,,,,i dont bleach my skin,,,and i can sing,,,lol.bob

That post earlier ??? You may wanna consider a Clint Eastwood voice then instead of Arnold

Everything's always on topic here...I don't even remember what the topic was, I have to go back and look. Meanwhile, here's Susanna in the 80's.

my two number 4's arrived today. figured by now taking all 4 side by side it would be easy to say " I like this one better than that one "NOT HAPPENING . 1's as good as 2 -2 as good as 1/3/4 . excellent start of hope to be large collection. #5 ???? THANKS

Yes yes.....and what was it 40 some years later The Supreme Court decided to overturn R v W ? The Supreme Court has become too political and often interprets what they want of The Constitution as opposed to enforcing The Constitution. Point is... they're not absolute as far as being correct on everything.

It's true. If due process wasn't given to the illegals how could all the lawyers and social workers ever get paid ? Personally, I find it odd someone can enter the country , break the law in doing so and due process takes years. I overload a truck by one or two thousand pounds ??? due process comes right to my mailbox in about a week or two. I dobt I'd have much problem at all showing proof of citizenship if someone was trying to deport me. Maybe that's just me , or maybe it's because I AM without a doubt a citizen. This nonsense of catering to illegals has to stop, along with the conflating citizen's rights with The Bill of Rights. These big buzz word things don't do much for citizens or anyone else besides who proffits from all this insanity. Let's see someone sneak into China or India..... or any other country for that matter and see how it goes for them.

My friend, it does not apply to non-citizens who are illegally in the United States. In other words, people who should not be standing on US soil, and are only doing so because they criminally entered the country. An Illegal alien inherently enjoys no rights within the US, as they should not be within US borders to begin with.

Even more disgusting is the US Citizens who allowed this to happen (AKA the left, liberals, democrats) are the ones fighting the hardest to keep them here!

. . .

I do understand.. i bought a truck i wanted, and paid just a measly $2000.00 more then its worth.. Glad I bought it !!

Happy Birthday Joey! 29 and holding???? 🍦 🎂 🍻 .....Hippy

She with her Daddys truck, so proud..

You mean like when barry ( not our guy here from BMT ) had his crack at a third term ?

I know this guy. Last I talked to him, he wasn't insane (lol) ya can always come down on the price
