I'm testing the waters in a whole new line of work- a hotdog stand.

A red Mack, Butler,Pa.

There's over 49,000 lbs. of steel plates under that tarp.

Nice cabover in Petersburg.

Saw an O'hare Towing truck in Pa.

Automobile for sale in Ambridge,Pa. Looks like a '55 Chevrolet.

A huge digging machine way over yonder,New Castle,Pa.

Hello!

My name is Pawel and I live in Poland. While I don't have a truck, I was always fascinated by heavy machines. When I was a little boy I bought and built a plastic model of an american truck. It looked a little like a Superliner. Years have passed and my model deteriorated a little, so now I wanted to rebuild it. I started reading a little and I discovered THE MACK LEGEND! So now I'm building a scale model of an early Mack Superliner and I would like to ask you for your assistance. I'll start a separate thread on my build, hope to see you there. For now, thanks a lot for reading, I'd like to wish you a nice day

Pawel

Thanks Pawel, and welcome.

Just ran across a pic of the 2005 Nov/Dec Wheels of Time issue. It's got an H61 on the cover and articles about H models in it. Does anybody have that old issue lying around or know where I could pick one up? May help me in the furure on some details during my restoration, thanks.. Tony

You could probably order back issues from them, you might check the ATHS website.

The TRUTH about Bin Laden's burial at sea

Bin Laden Given Religious Funeral Prior to Sea Burial

Published May 02, 2011

Osama bin Laden was given a religious funeral prior to his burial at sea, senior

military officials told Fox News.

Religious rites were conducted on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft

carrier at about 1:10 a.m. Monday in the Persian Gulf.

In accordance with Islamic practice, bin Laden was washed and wrapped in a

white sheet before buried at sea at 2 a.m. local time, senior U.S. military

and intelligence officials said.

Then, "In accordance with common US Navy SEAL practice, the Team pissed on him, stuck a pulled pork sandwich in his mouth and a kosher hot dog up his ass, and pushed the Mother Fucker overboard with the other garbage," a senior SEAL officer said.

potentate-puddin head, whats the difference

beats me-I have no idea what it means.

A top secret secret spy camera captured this image recently. It's so top secret it even prints the dialogue and reads peoples' minds.

FOR SHAME! article 8 ,paragraph 4, section 398.9 of the bigmacktrucks charter cleary indicates all members shall be so equipped with camera,when old/interesting items are spotted. failure to do so can result in un-nesessary ridicule,a stern warning,or a beating!

This ruling made possible by the honorable elustrious potentate Otherdog (esquire)............Mark

Yeah!..what he said.

Picked up a new Truck Paper at the Go-Mart in Fairplain yesterday and saw a whole nest of Superliners on the back cover. They're auctioning them off and the opening bid was $1,000. I didn't go to the website and check them out yet, but they look good in the pictures.

Saw this other one inside the paper, also a good looking unit.

We go to the Chinese buffet in Altavista once in a while-their cat is delicious, they sure know how to cook 'em,seasoned just right. Tastes like chicken.

I've gotten behind on posting pictures i've taken of things. Here's some I took, and some I found when I was browsing midget porn and typed in truck pictures by accident.

These military trucks were huge,looked as big as locomotives!

Nice looking Mack at Gerdau-Ameristeel in Petersburg.

A trainload of military trucks on the horseshoe curve near Altoona,Pa.

A blue Mack, Columbiana,Oh.

Female type person fueling up at the Go-Mart. I didn't take this because I saw boobage,I was cleaning my camera and it went off accidently

F-model ad,1977

Saw 2 huge rabbits in the back yard this morning.

Ran across this picture a while back and saved it. Almost forgot about it since my pc was out of commission for a while.

I think it's BS. They are going to destroy over 130,000 acres of prime farmland and wipe out homes all across that area just to "relieve pressure from the other levees". In 1937 when they blew it up it reduced the river level a few inches...but in a couple hours it was right back up where it had been. Personally, I don't see the point. If the land behind the levee was worth building the levee to protect, then the levee should not be intentionally breeched. If the land behind the levee was deemed to be an acceptable loss when the river levels rise, then the levee never should have been built. Yeah, occasional seasonal flooding can be good for the soil and makes for some productive land...but that's when the water comes in and goes out gradually. When that levee is blown, water is going to rush through the area scrubbing the fertile topsoil from the surface and carrying it downstream.

Probably a good thing I don't live in a soon-to-be-flooded area behind that levee. I would have been positioned with my M1 Garand taking shots at the guys trying to set the explosives. Wonder what would have happened if the MO governor had called up the MO Nat'l Guard to protect the levees from the Army Corps of Engineers...

Anyway, KFVS is the local news channel...supposedly they are going to have live coverage on the TV. Not sure if they stream online or not...might click around and see. Supposed to be happening around 9 pm or so.

I'm just hoping this rain lets up soon. Damn near 2 feet of rain in the last week and a half....and 5 of the next 10 days has more rain in the forecast. Running out of places to put all of it.

Ran WAY more miles than I normally do trying to get around flooded/closed roads.

Saw this picture today. It's somewhere in Arkansas,forgot exactly where.

That's right Tom, I'm just jealous. I've been pooting around the whole month of April just getting the dandelions, crabgrass, clover, etc. etc. killed out of my yard. Have spent over thousand dollars putting new Thuja Green Giants in the yard at differant places.

I know that i'm crazy, cause I killed the dandelions, may have to start eating them if the economy gets worse.

Yeah, I don't plant nuthin' I cain't eat!

Mackmann thinks the wheels are redneck, the guy that lived 2 houses over from me when I lived in Appomattox used to plant tomatoes in an old bathtub in his yard-now that's redneck, but hey,whatever works,eh?

Diesel .58 per gal plus FREE DINNER AT OUR ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET With any fill up over 50 Gallons!!!....What A Time It WAS!

Today $4.58 per gal an pump your own.. An free nothin..Need air?? bring a roll of Quarters What A Time It IS!!!

At least the staple in your fuel receipt is still free at most places but they'll probably start charging for that soon.

I've taken a few drive-by pictures of this truck before, but today I stopped in Appomattox while on the way to Cumberland to see my parents and took a close look at it and took some pictures. Pretty nice looking truck, to be almost as old as I am. Don't know what engine it has, it was hard to see. Thought maybe a 220 Cummins, but it has a turbo on it.

I don't know anything about it, who owns it, or what they want for it, just that i'd love to have it. I could drive the mixer in the parade, and Jo could drive the White. If she hit anything she'd certainly be the first one to get there,eh?

I know there are a lot of members that have had problems logging in with some of the upgrades within the past several weeks. Although I've not experienced anything like this the one of the last upgrades that linked the facebook site has really choked my computer down a lot. It now takes over twice to load up the BMT home page as it used to. This is consistent with three computers that I use.

Wondering if the same has taken place with others?

Rob

Mine's been working pretty good,no problems since I sent Barry my something-or-other number. When my unit was down I only had a signal strength of 15, the hughesnet tech guy,Apu in Indier,said I needed at least 37. Now that i've had a new cable installed it was 71,highest it's ever been,even when it was first installed. Of course I have no idea what any of that really means,but it's working fine as of now.

You might be a redneck if..................

...you don't take the tires off the wheels. The steer tires were here and I didn't have tire tools to demount them,so I have truck tires laying in the back yard equipped with anti rabbit protectors. I even hit the ones I took off with green spray paint so they match the grass, just so it wouldn't be redneck lookin'. Heck,I might even get rid of that engine i've had swinging from the tree in the front yard since 1997, and the upside down '93 Taurus too, to unredneckify things around here.

I'm gonna go cut some delicious broccoli right now, and have a delicious tomater sammich with lots of mayo in a couple of months...then you'll be wishin' you'd planted some tomatoes in a truck wheel-hah!

And now...the rest of the story!

I had these two old steer tires laying around doing nothing, so I decided to put them to use. I filled them with miracle grow potting soil and planted 2 broccoli plants in each one. They're really growing too, got some ready to cut.

All the other wheels and tires are at the shop and i've been demounting them when I have time. Did 2 last week and 2 more yesterday while I was waiting for Jo to get there. The first 2 were a bear to get off, it took me, Jeffrey, Tom, the forklift, everything else we could find, and half a day. Yesterday was pretty easy, knocked out 2 by myself, with a little tire hammer help from Terry and lots of PB Blaster.

Got tomaters in these two, cucumbers and squash are planned for the next 2.

Thanks for posting that Tom,thats the one i was looking for,figures its in about the only Mack book i DON'T have LOL!.......Mark

You're welcome, it's available at www.motorbooks.com, and probably available and cheaper at amazon.com.

Isn't that what POS means?!? Peterbilt On Shoulder.

Gregg

Gotta give credit where credit's due,that's a good one!

I went through Kenly on the 16th on our way to Disney. Some wicked bad storms with tornados that day, I-95 was closed for 2 hrs for debris and wrecks. I hope they have better weather today.

Also thoughts and prayers to anyone affected by the recent rash of storms across the country. Seems like we can't get a break from the weatherman this year.

Gregg

Amen brother! I was just north of Wooster, Ohio on rt. 250 Thursday morning, sound asleep in a closed restaurant's parking lot and I woke up around 4:15am because the truck was rocking because of the wind like 2 gorillas were on each side of the cab shaking it violently. Kinda scary, I can only imagine what it must have been like at the Petro in Glade Spring.

Think I've posted this before:

Here's another picture I found in this Mack book-
