  1. A proper gas to fire ratio must be carefully maintained and monitored at all times,or the impending explosion could be quite devastating! chillidogs/beer/tacos= nitro-methanol,plus methane X2,divided by open flame,looking at old trucks instead of watching gauges in the X-14 (pride of the U.S.A thong balloon) daingerfield and many neighboring areas could be levelled!.........Mark

    Ain't that a shame...the fine citizens of Daingerfield would not have to worry about being blown off the map if Randy had only taken his camera...can't believe he'd leave home without it!

  2. Nice pictures Tom! i like that cutlass,a good looking car,i always liked that color. I have been by that Diamond Reo dealer once or twice at night,so i was never able to take any pictures.I use those Alcoa "hug a lug" caps on my truck,they kinda thread on the lugnuts,seem to work good,and the ones on back cover the whole hub,bout' the only thing i dont like is there made out of plastic.Been on the truck almost 10 years now,and still look new,i have only replaced one,cause it got scratched..........Mark

    That Olds is sitting on rt. 122 between Bedford and Moneta with a "for sale" sign on the windshield. There's also a black '67 or '68 Camaro for sale in Moneta. It has $20,000 on the windshield, don't know the price on the Olds.

  3. reminds me of the time the air wipers quit on the F-model I was driving. I hit on the windshield with my fist, thinking they were just stuck- sometimes i'd have to stop and get out and start them moving by hand before they'd start working. So, nothing happened when I hit the windshield, it was pouring rain, so I hit it again a little harder and broke the windshield. Found out the arm had come loose from the motor, so I stopped at the truckstop and bought a bottle of rain-x.

  4. Saw this twin steer Mack parked along rt. 20 in Leivasy, West Virginia.

    Of course that's not all I saw this week, I saw all this stuff-

    a gray R-model in Mt. Crawford, Va.

    a red R-model in Montvale, Va.

    An Oshkosk snow plow in Mt. Storm, W.V.

    This is the old Diamond Reo place in Uniontown, Pa. There's even 2 Diamond Reo's out back, one conventional cab, one cabover.

    Here's a nice firetruck for sale in Petersburg, W.V- a one ton International 4 wheel drive. The pole blocked the first picture, the second one was taken in the mirror!

    I like this Oldsmobile too. I had a '70 Cutlass Supreme, probably the best car I ever had.

    And last but not least, I saw this good looking Peterbilt! It's missing a front hubcap so I fixed it so no one would notice.

  5. Artificial lubricants can plug and foul the bore. Natural lubricant inherent to the species, (ask randyp on that one) has no negative detractors other than smells a bit funny if not washed up shortly after it's use is completed.

    Rob

    And if it doesn't quite smell funny enough, there's always this-

  6. Be careful when installing the shaft. I think the kit comes with a special silicone based lube. I always apply a light coat to the shaft.

    I sometimes apply a light coat of lube to the shaft too, but not always. :rolleyes:

  7. heh heh,,,Trey, In this mess we having here now, "used" unit would be very welcome! According to weather channel, texas is bout to get in a even bigger bind for rain, there is nothing in sight,,,its getting tough,,,thanks, randyp

    Yep, it's bad. Picked the tomatoes when I got home today, but the whole garden is just about dried up and blown away.

    Did you trade 'ol blackie, or will Spot be seen cruisin' Daingerfield in it on Saturday nights now?

  8. Nice looking "unit" there Thad! really nice! Contrary to where Other Dogs mind stays, by "unit", I mean the truck. You will enjoy that. I have a 61 that I use 2 or 3 times a week, moving excavator, dozer, motor grader. I bought it restored from oldmacks couple of years ago and been a really good reliable truck. I like Dennis, easy to deal with, and will do what he says. congratulations!! randyp

    Yes, congratulations on your new unit! By the way Randy, that's a nice big picture you got there-thank you.

  9. Yup, them Craftsman things are the Peterbilt of hand tools.

    Suppose you got lucky this time to not be let down.

    Rob

    But that Craftsman 1/4" drive ratchet is about 37 years old, wrench about the same age best I can recollect.

  10. They are really good well built grills, kinda like craftsman tools,,,heh heh, heres pic with fancy cover and next pic is where I go nekkid when its 109 degrees, wont include nekkid pic today,,,randyp

    thank you...thank you very much.

  11. Heres what I grill on Tom, Chargriller, cooks whatever Spot drags up, one side propane, one side charcoal, propane bean cooker on left and firebox on right. Even have a fancy dandy cover for it. Dont be being blashpemous and mixing good craftsman tools in with other tools. Randyp

    They had these "units" right beside the one I bought at Tractor Supply. They're nice, I just didn't need the gas grill.

  12. Speaking of ridicule, my new unit is now complete- all I need to do is smoke some meat.

    here's my left arm- i'm tightening bolts with a Craftsman 1/4 inch drive ratchet and a Snap-On 7/16" open end wrench.

    here's my right arm, tightening bolts- same specs as above :rolleyes:

    Got the grates seasoned and in place

    Even oiled the outside!

  13. If it is not a hole what the heck is it? Actually it is about the right size to hold a bottle of Tom's world famous red pepper grilling sauce.

    You're exactly right, that's why I didn't glue it back in, I thought it would be useful! :rolleyes: These guys, their minds stay in the gutter :pat:

  14. I'll post photos when I find my extra camera cord. My primary cord is at work.

    Rob

    Rob, I feel like i'm being picked on about my new unit, so now I realize how you feel. Therefore, I will not be picking on you any more...

    OK, enough of that- so, where does your primary cord work? :lol:

  15. "Momma" didnt want to cook...she offered to buy Burger King (her tastes and requirements are very simple, probably why she keeps me around) ...who am I to argue! That was Friday! For our 23rd anniversary, I took her to a nice restaurant (got home in time to watch the race), she rewarded me this morning!

    You should go to Tractor Supply and git you a grill and cook something for her, it's very rewarding.
