Paul. Up in that area east of Lake Ontario they average 250+ inches per winter from Labor Day to Memorial Day.. Thus the comment of "9 months of winter and 3 months of damn poor skiing"!!!

DSNY keeps New York City clean with a fleet of Mack Trucks
Brocky replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
DD: Thank you.. Yes, that was his name, Charlie... It is amazing how this old truck hobby shows us how small the world is.. I live in SC and Last year at the Arden NC show I met a man now living in eastern Tenn, also from upstate NY, and we figured out that our fathers bowled on the same team in the early 50's!! -
DSNY keeps New York City clean with a fleet of Mack Trucks
Brocky replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
DD: That name Butler brings back memories.. In 1967-8 when I worked for Ithaca Delivery out of the old trolley barn on Wolf Street in Syracuse, the night dock man's last name was Butler and he had a refuse truck he ran days up near where he lived in the Fulton / Oswego area. Could the truck belong to his sons??? -

Mine was a Brockway of about the same vintage.. Actually rode Brockways most of my public school time. In the late 60's I worked for the town highway dept in Central Square NY and we started at 0300, plowed 6 to 12 inches of new snow off the road, sanded them,and the school buses ran on time!!

Call me old fashioned but I agree with RR on the old flip phone to talk ONLY, and no connection from my truck computer to the manufacturer..

Timmy I gave the last $50+ to the taxi driver who took us from the hotel to the Melbourne airport.. I sorta cleaned out my wallett instead of using the credit card!! Other than a plane change in Brisbane our next stop was Hawaii!! I have listened to Slim Dusty sing "The Man from Snowy River" many times.
