  1. Old Bill sent these jokes about the south in an e-mail-

    The owner of a golf course in Georgia was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, "Y'all graduated from the University of Georgia and I need some help. If I wuz to give yew $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?" The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, "Everthang but my earrings."

    A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet

    of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by, and was so curious he turned around

    and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was. The man replied, "I got a flat tahr." The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?" The man responded, "When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back. I never did understand it neither."

    A Tennessee State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-65. The trooper asked, "Got any ID?" The driver replied, "Bout whut?"

    A Texas Sheriff pulled up next to the guy unloading garbage out of his pick-up into the ditch. The Sheriff

    asked, "Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don't you see that sign right over your head."

    "Yep," he replied. "That's why I'm dumpin' it here, 'cause it says: 'Fine For Dumping Garbage.' "

  2. Don't know nobody that actually "drives" a Peterbilt. Point "A" to point "B" is just anticipation of the next breakdown.

    Rob

    I drove one to Hammond,In. and back twice this week with no breakdowns. In fact,i've had over 9 days of trouble free trucking now.

    I do have all the Pete shops in the U.S, Canada, and Mexico on speed dial, but that's just a precautionary measure.

  3. Got mine's in the mail this week, ordered it last fall. In fact, it arrived on my birthday and i'd about forgotten about it. Has a listing of all ATHS members and lots of pictures. Here's a few sample pages-

  4. Hey Tom,hope the roads treating you allright! could'nt be there in person,so i sent along a delicious cake! have a good one! and many more!..........Mark

    Thanks-looks delicious. My secret spy camera actually got a picture of this cake being made.

  5. A new series advertised on Discovery Chanel called "Hogs Gone Wild". Starts April 19 @ 10 pm.

    That must be what I saw, a commercial for that. They're trying to take over the world.

  6. Ok here it goes. I got a 98 Pete factory 4axle for Heavy haul. Running a 3406E 600 hp Cat. with an 18. Been tossing the idea around of when this trans goes out swapping in a 5x4. Will they handle this motor? I have 4.11 on the high side and 5.60 in the on the low side in the back. I grew up watching my dad shift his Mack and know they have a hell of a trans. Any other ideas? Also thinking about swapping in the 2 speeds for 4.56 singles with cross locks. What kind of road speed might I be looking at?

    You could get a 5 and 4 that will handle the power, but a quadruplex with probably disentegrate immediately if not sooner, as they were never meant to handle the power and torque you've got.

  7. heh heh,,all i can think of you left off "revamped" 4 wheeler Tom, is maybe one them crane arms to load all em stinking rascals up, and maybe a sink so me and spot can wash summa all at blood and guts offn us. We are loaded up with hogs round here, they are even going into some neighborhoods in town and city has hired a trapper. You can imagine what they can do to a golf course. I been thinking bout trying to train one to "plow" my garden for me, will wait till i find one with a good sharp rooter. I have had 4 dozer jobs this spring, just going into pastures repairing hog wallers so farmers wont turn their hay tractors over. They make a real mess out of a hay meadow! randyp

    I can believe that,saw pictures of torn up lawns when I did the image search. I never realized there was so many of them running roughshod, thought they were kinda rare, but apparently there's plenty of 'em.

    I found the 4 wheeler picture too, I didn't modify it myself-except for the Calvin sticker.

  8. After working on his 4 wheeler all morning, Randy and Spot are ready to go on the great pig hunt...

    The heavily modified 4 wheeler,now a 6-wheeler,is an awesome pig hunting machine!

    Spot quickly finds pigs and piles them up for Randy

    Looks like another pig roast in Daingerfield soon!

  9. I didn't notice it before, but in the Allis Chalmers ad it looks like the 3rd drawing has a Mack AC dump truck in it.

    I biggerized it to look closer. Don't know if there's an AC Mack, but one does appear to be Rob at an early job, long before he joined the Navy and went on to become a radar technicion.

  10. I found an old Farm Journal magazine about 20-25 years ago in an old house that was used to store hay and feed in. The magazine was dated either 1966 or '67. There was a sweepstakes in it sponsored by Ford Motor Co. and the grand prize was a new Ford tractor, a 3000 model I think but i'm not sure, a new Ford pickup, and a new Ford station wagon-not one, but all three! Or you could take $10,000 cash. Things have really gone up since then, now a good used truck, car,or tractor is that much for any one of the three. I gave the magazine to my brother, don't know if he's still got it.
