Brocky

Our Ingalls Market, a southern regional grocery chain, has a cooler of dry ice in our local store.

Paul, I sure would like to be able to come Down Under for the Mack Muster, BUT many circumstances will not allow it.. If any of you other BMT member think you can make it plan on spending at least two weeks in Australia. There are many private collections and several "just tourist" things to do. If you PM me I can send you the email address of the lady who designed our ATHS Down Under Tour.

Randy, You did a great job on the Prime Rib!!!! Looks done, but still pink enough in the center to be tender.

Vlad brings up a good point.. Differences in the hood.. I am NOT familiar enough with the differences between butterfly and tilt hoods on Macks to give you an answer.. BUT I know that the R model Mack style Sheller Globe cab that Brockway used had a different cowl for their butterfly hood and are NOT totally interchangeable with the Mack cab with a tilt nose..

I sure doubt if it is the air conditioner!!!! I see a cable hooked to the tow eye,, Is there another truck pulling????

Sound like Zina is related to my wife!! A one way "Pack Rat", everything comes in and nothing go our or gets used!!!!!!! Thankfully her leg problems have slowed her down..

Larry, I believe that you have, or are getting, a PhD in "Yankee Ingenuity" engineering!!!! Excellent Work!!! Thanks for all the pictures..

That much would last this household longer than I have days to live!!

Tanks Dean.. I did not know him. Our chapter president, Brad Osteen, told me about his death and Brad went to his memorial service instead of coming to the chapter Christmas party.

Dean, Was Jamison Gibson killed by a tow motor falling on him???

I have never seen a pre cooked Turkey breast??? Maybe I have to look closer in the grocery store?? But my wife and son love baked sweet potatoes, so I do them at the same time.

Ditto!!!!!! Be safe and enjoy your family..

Tom, Can I get on your Christmas list????? Let me know how your ham turns out in the smoker... I am just going to coat mine with brown sugar and heat in the oven per the directions..

Joey, CALM DOWN!!!!!!!! Remember your wife is looking over your shoulder.... and she is nothing to complain about!!!

These pictures were taken in 2015, 10 years ago, on the new truck line at Tony Champion's Mack dealership in Rockhampton, QLD, Australia. So it is possible that the Aussies are up to 770 now?????

Thank you Hippy and the same back to you and yours. As well to all the BMT members!!! We are staying home and behaving ourselves.. Except we will be gluten free as my son has Chrons disease.

Yes, fried spam sammichs are an old standby here.. On Sourdough bread with Swiss cheese!!! My son dices up the fried spam and mixes it into Mac & Cheese??

As Mech said it is best to ask around, Here, truck and car clubs, and other owners using antique/historical/classic plates which DMV offices are user friendly and which are a PIA.

I feel Outback is about the same as Longhorn, But you are paying for the name.. As far as I am concerned Olive Garden is nothing to brag about.. You are better off looking for a family Italian place..

Fonda NY, on the Mohawk river was like that.. The shut down was over the bank between 3rd and 4th turns.. If you did NOT get it stopped you went swimming!!! Went there several times in the early 60's..

$29 for prime rib sounds cheaper than a ribeye steak at Outback!!!

My 1976 Brockway with a 290 Cummins (13 speed) that had a 335 pump installed with a "Touch of Dutch" you had to watch the pyrometer very close.. Granted it would pull, but lots of the time on a hill you had to drop a 1/2 a gear to keep it cool.

Matt, Thank You for getting this topis back on track!!!!!! The state vehicle inspection laws vary from state to state, so a person has to do some research, online where you can bring the laws up in print, into their home state's laws. The majority of the time you can get good advise, either in print or where to get it printed, from an ATHS or ATCA chapter president. Always take these print outs with you to a DMV office as you probably will have to educate the idiots behind the counter. When I went from a Vermont registration to a South Carolina title I had to make an appointment with the DMV for one of their officers to come out to my garage to verify the serial number. Luckily she only wanted to see the plate on the cowl, not crawl behind the front wheel to see it on the frame! Obviously the vehicle must be able to pass a roadside inspection whenever you are operating on a public highway. As Matt says always pull across the scales at weigh stations so the officers can SEE your antique/historical plate. If you get pulled around back it is more than likely the officer just wants to BS about your truck after he checks your lights... AND will be in a LOT better mood than if he chases you down along the road!!!!

That is one of the reasons I buy London Broil or Round roasts!!!

I continue to be a member of ATHS mainly because I am the chapter newsletter editor/Jack of all Trades and my wife is the secty/tres, and YES I have to do her work also!! Every January the chapter has to send a financial report to KCHQ which includes a roster of chapter members. Yes, I keep Larry's dual logbooks, only I got it labeled as "Donating Friends"!!!
