  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. back to the old grind

  4. 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!".
  5. here's one you haven't seen. Taken when I met Rob in Illinois.
  6. 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?
  7. just do like I do-
  8. Something a little different came to mind.
  9. 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...
  10. I'm with you on that one! ...way better'n the woodpile...
  11. 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. http://www.oldtimetrucks.org/ott_magazine.htm
  12. oh...must not be the 1917 movie then...but it could involve bluegrass music.
  13. Just some 1917 movie about bluegrass music is all I saw
  14. yeah, it'd be a good idea to give it the sniff test before you eat there i'd say.
  15. 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.
  16. Paul is shunning us again.
  17. Hmmmm...I must investigate all these things...
  18. hope it ain't the UPS man- milk man jr.
  19. I must be off now, so i'll leave you with this-
  20. that's what I like to think- size doesn't matter.
  21. 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.
  22. Gotta take off to Illinois...tired already
