other dog

Another Pete trying to keep up with a Mack!

Actually, I was waiting at the red light when I took the picture. He was on the ramp getting on 64. By the time the light changed he had a 13 mile head start, but I caught him and passed him on that hill like he was tied to a stump, and I had on 50,040 lbs,grossing a little over 81,000. I didn't want to say anything about it, it was pretty neat seeing that bulldog getting it done, but now I must take up for myself.

I've seen this before but can't remember if I've posted it.

Someone sent that to me in an e-mail a while back and I reposted it here. Good to repost it, it all makes sense to me!

...or you could take the dump body off in winter, put the 5th. wheel on, and hook to the reefer and go to Florida and get a load of turnips to help meet the turnip demand in central Illinois. The possibilities are endless...

Stopped at Casey's in town the other day for a pack of smokes before work and stumbled upon this. I didn't stick around for the 'Wrecked' tv show style 2 rotator trucks pick 'em outta the ditch scene...but it happens every couple months there. Story goes it was a husband/wife team, husband was asleep in the bunk while she tried to get 80' of truck through 20' of driveway... Wonder if they teach that in truck driver skool...???

Sure doesn't take much to scotch a van trailer- they get on the tires and you're done. I got stuck in a mud puddle like that once in Butler, Pa. pulling into a dirt lot at a store to get a cold drink. Another truck had to give me a little tug, I couldn't move.

I could pull a flatbed in there and tear up the grass and cut some ruts for 'em without getting hung up, if I could get over that big ass curb!

saw some interesting stuff today-a Mack dealership in a round building. It's on rt. 50, west of Aurora Indiana.

And a big Mack truck with a huge load of pulpwood in Grayson, Ky.

Didn't break down? That is a surprise.

Now iff'n it did, THEN you can be like OD.

Had to get a window motor yesterday. Put one in not too long ago. Driver's side window wouldn't go up or down and as soon as I left the shop Wednesday to go unload in Louisa,Va. I ran into a roadcheck in Goochland. Told the officer that got up on the step that it had just quit-"it was working a minute ago!".

here's one you haven't seen. Taken when I met Rob in Illinois.

i think iv seen that pic

I think I have too- and didn't Mark say he drove that KW to Canada one time?..or is my clutch slipping a little?

just do like I do-

Something a little different came to mind.

I have a friend who's a mechanic at a shop in jersey,he HATES to see a waste management or BFI truck come in,he says its the leaking "gravy" that gets him everytime! gotta' love the garbage trucks!...................Mark

reminds me of working in a garage in the '70's. We had to service the Holly Farms equipment. BIG poultry outfit in the south, bought by Tyson Foods in 1989. They kept 2 busses in Cumberland, with seats in the front half, and ramps on the back to haul a forklift. The chicken catchers rode the busses to the chicken houses where they caught the chickens and put them in crates and they used the fork lifts to load the crates onto flatbed trailers. Rainy days were the worst...chicken poop, feathers, all sorts of chicken house filth dripping on you...

The truck is nice but I meant the gal in the blue jeans, wooohooo!!!!

I'm with you on that one!

...way better'n the woodpile...

I've been getting "Double Clutch" regularly, but I could ask the same question of "Shifting Gears" magazine. I subscribed to that a couple of years ago and only got a couple of magazines. That's the one the Bighorn Dodge was on the cover of.

Still get "Wheels of Time" and "Old Time Trucks", which is the best antique truck magazine. They will talk to you on the phone like regular folks. I've sent truck show pictures to the ATHS site and they put them online at their site but they don't give the sender any credit for the pictures. No big deal, I guess they're too big for that.

It consisted of farm animals of all varieties and humans, pretty nasty, and raunchy.

Rob

oh...must not be the 1917 movie then...but it could involve bluegrass music.

Sick, twisted, demented, and obscure bunch of individuals on this board. Guess that's why I fit in so well.

Think that's sick? Look up "Barnyard Frolics" on the internet. It was banned on the ship when I was in the Navy with an automatic "Captain's Mast" hearing if caught with it.

Rob

Just some 1917 movie about bluegrass music is all I saw

Yea I kinda caught that spelling also. He needs to use his spell chick or check. You be the first to try it and let us know how good it smells or tastes.

Hope ya come out smiling!

yeah, it'd be a good idea to give it the sniff test before you eat there i'd say.

Yep...used to be called "Jack's Place". Now it's called "Kuntry Kitchen". If I were trying to be cute and spell "country" with a "k" i'd probably have just left the "o" in there, but that's just me.

Paul is shunning us again.

I made the mistake of looking up '2 girls, one cup' when someone told me about it a couple years ago, don't get much better (or worse) than that...

Hmmmm...I must investigate all these things...

Mark, Which man are you talking about........Milk Man or Post man?

mike

hope it ain't the UPS man-

milk man jr.

I must be off now, so i'll leave you with this-

It would certainly seem so however the main for the main batteries to be large was further distance effectiveness. If I remember correctly the 18" guns of the "Yamato" class of Japanese battleships had an effective range of over 33,000 yards where the 15", and 16" guns of the British, and American battleships were 25,-27,000 yards.

Size really doesn't matter if you don't hit what you're aiming at.

Rob

that's what I like to think- size doesn't matter.

I have a 1999 CH with 470 Etec engine. I was on this site a little while ago and had some suggestions to help with my problem but no luck yet.The problem is every time I use the accelorator the fan engauges and when I take my foot off the accelorator most times the fan will disengauge.If I use the cruise control to increase revs the fan stays disengauged .This problem happens weather you are moving or stationary .The dealer has replaced the vechile ECU and all senders that supply ECU. There readouts give no listed faults and the copilot is not showing any faults.Every thing else works perfect. have had auto elecs look and they say every thing tests okay. Some times it will have a good day and the problem is not so bad.This happens weather the engine is hot or cold. thanks for any suggestions....

Mine got to where it would not disengage after it came on (C15 Cat). At first it would stop if you cut the engine off and restart it, then you had to cut it off and let it sit a few minutes, then finally it just ran constantly.

Not only noisy, but i've heard the fan running robs you of 50 horsepower! They replaced the switches but that didn't change anything, had to get a new fan hub-works fine now.

Also looks like you got your exhaust system back on the truck.

yeah, had a time finding 3 1/2" pipe and getting it bent, but got it all together. "Next" time, think i'll go with flex pipe!

I even found a recipe for you that you might want to try-
