'nother warm thought for a cold day...

...reminds me of eating corn on the cob at a picnic on a hot summer day...

I do remember that article,i have a stack of old trucking magazines going back to the sixties,will see if i can find it when i get some time....growing up on the east coast when i did,it was quite unusual to see a conventional out here,one of the very first "fancy" largecars i ever remember seeing was a Monfort KW,long wheelbase (for the time) V8 cat with a 2 stick trans.( i looked in the window lol!)....they were quite the outfit in their day!..............Mark

There was an article in Wheels of Time a while back about Monfort. Or it could have been in Old Time Trucks,a really good antique truck magazine too.

... AAAHHH what fun wintertime truckin' is!......................Mark

Yeah...I don't mind cold,but snow sucks-to the highest level of sucktivity.

I remember that storm,I was afraid i'd get an Orchard Park load that Thursday but ended up going to Warren,Oh and reloading in Cleveland for Lawrenceville,Va.

Needed to see something that reminded me of warmer weather.....hows this?

Amen brother!(Bulldogman)

That's beautiful! Makes me want to get started on mine here-

Page 19, section C, paragraph 2 of the BMT manual "clearly" states "We want pics!" We must have pics, we like em, gotta see em! This is only a light reprimand this time, now go get pics! I wanna see your truck! have a nice day,,,randyp

If you need a picture that bad here's one you can gander in the meantime. I took this last summer, had a model posing beside the truck and some girl was looking in the cab. I let her hang around, she was drinking a Bud light. Another girl I did't know was doing a kegstand on the fender,with a keg of Heinekin. I ran her off. As expensive as it is, I just don't like Heineken.

You fail to get pictures one more time soldier, and your gonna be on the carpet!!! (maybe with Rob behind you,heh) Randyp

If I was good at banging grizzly bears, she would be asleep when I finished. and NOT from boredom.

Rob

Now that is some grade A Photo doctoring right there, makes me look kinda sophmoric.

You did good! Kept my sophmoronic story line going too,gave me new ideas. Think i've taken it about as far as I can go though...Clem in a tank, Spot in a fighter plane...yep, pretty much nowhere else to go.

Wish I was that good.

Rob

Forgive me in advance Lord,but this one I can not resist...

"Wish I was that good."- At what, banging a grizzly bear?

Old Bill sent those pictures in an e-mail-without Spot of course.

Spot recently traveled up north to Alberta,Canada.

I've been on there for over a year now.

My daughter Ashley told me I "needed" a Facebook page, and I remember saying "WTF do I need that for".

Then after I got into it, it's fun, found lots of people I knew from the past, & also made a lot of new friends.

same conversation I had with my daughter-in-law.

speaking of Barney Frank, he appears to enjoy working with the TSA.

I'm with you fellers-about had my fill of it last year.

The Maxidynes... are very close to bulletproof, and could withstand the most ham-handed of operators.

Nice F model in your avatar!

That's exactly why they gave me one to drive!

Three stage progressive "Roots" type blower with static pressure limitation set to 43psi ambient, denatured alcohol direct injection, fired by indirect hot surface ignition.

Amazing how fast things cook at 675 degrees but can't be left alone too long which is the case in point.

Rob

well...it was my fault,but running a V8 Mack powered leaf blower is way more fun than watching a turkey cook.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN TOLD, IF YOU CAN'T SAY NOTHIN' GOOD! DON'T SAY NOTHIN' YOU GUYS HAVE GOT IT COVERED. ANYHOW I'M OFF TO SEE THE EAGLES IN SYDNEY AUSTRALIA THIS WEEK!

I saw 2 bald eagles in a tree near Toledo, Ohio a few weeks ago. First time I recall ever seeing one. Saw lots of these in sunny south Florida though-

I found one baby picture of myself,but I had to censor it and i'm not around a truck.I'll post it anyway-think I was about 4 months old when this was taken.

Check out this old Ford stub nose grain truck I am selling on ebay - I wish someone would buy it to restore, it is really a straight old truck.

I always did like the looks of those cabs.

Guess i'll leave for Tampa this evening,get a start anyway so it won't be such a long drive tomorrow-gotta find that beach Hatcity posted a picture of.

I burned the turkey up and this morning the wind is putting most of the leaves I raked and blew with the "modified ENDT866 V8 Mack engine with adapted air to air charge air cooling" powered leaf blower back where they were to start with.

I did pick all the hot peppers that were left this morning, before frost finished them off. Got this many now-

Should be lots of hot sauce this year! That's 3 gallon bags stuffed full,plus the smaller bags. Don't know what to do with that much hot sauce,I still have a bottle of last years left.

When I bought the mixer I had no earthly need for it (I really wanted a single axle B-61), couldn't afford it, didn't need it, but I just always wanted an old truck so I bought it.Same price as the 2 MHs actually. I'd never spent that kind of money before for something I didn't need, but it's great-and paid for.

As some guy named Miller Highlife used to say "you only go 'round once in life so ya' oughta' git yerself an MH Mack, preferably powered by a modified ENDT866 V8 Mack engine with adapted air to air charge air cooling-but a 300 would be OK".

That's what he said.
