Today's pictures of the week part 2-
Here's that black Superliner in Appomattox. Too bad it's a crappy blurry drive-by.
Saw this neat looking old unit in Ohio, near Fremont.
And I saw a 3 legged jogger in New York,
Saw a colorful KW in Fostoria, Oh. when I was picking up a load of fertilizer,
I gave this Autocar a pull at this fuel stop when it wouldn't start.
...and unlike last week when I got to the shop and saw a Superliner, this week I got to the shop and saw this sitting there...wtf?
-
yup, could be the best ever. way better than oscar mayer!

Hi Greg, yes there was a North American Aviation A5 Vigilante mounted on a stick in front of the mess hall. I was speaking of the blue jet on the stick that was across the street next to a yellow building that was next to the gas station complex. That was a Grumman F-11F "Tiger".
I lived on the base with my wife and kids, (trailer park) so never really got around the mess hall. NAS Millington is where I learned to eat from a garbage can, and earned my persona namesake, "Trailer Trash".
I was there from February of 1985, through August and into early September 1985, then going to Norfolk, VA.
Rob
I saw a crackerbox on a stick once.

Speaking of "the furniture hauler guy" I saw an article in "Moving Out", the free truck paper, about Clark Transfer this week.

my melon failed too. the hose on the wire didn't work. now i'm gonna get an inner tube and make a catapault.

Just switch to 11R22.5 tyres and make your life simpler and safer. You might have to change the spacer band but other then that 11R22.5's are DIRECT replacements for 10.00R20's, same dimensions, inflation pressures and weight rating. Only difference is the rim width, 10.00R20's take a 7.5 rim and 11R22.5's take a 8.25 rim so that is why you might need a new spacer band.
That's the route I took with the mixer. Bought used tubeless wheels for $40 each and put 11R22.5's on it and got away from the old tube type tires and split rims. The old spacers and wedges all worked fine for me.
Some tire shops won't even fool with the split rims anymore, they can be very dangerous if the lock ring blows off!

I bet the picture of that Marmon was taken in Marseilles, IL at Independence Tube...?
As a matter of fact it was.

these are ripe habenero peppers out of the garden. they're supposed to be the world's hottest peppers...sure don't look that intimidating,eh? I've got lots of them...think i'll try making habenero wine out of them.
-
This is the top-secret wine making lab (a.k.a. the kitchen). Strained it the first time this morning. Starting to look like wine anyway. Thought this was a gallon jug too, but it's 3 liters- almost ran over. Jo hasn't even complained about the mess yet.
-
I figured as much i still enjoy it every time I watch it though
ever checked out "Twin stick pappy"? That's a good one too.
-
Tom, did that Superliner have an E9 in it?
Regarding the winemaking, are you sure those were wild grapes and not Jimson weed berrys? You might really get a "kick" outta that stuff!!!!
Fully "erect"? Maybe you should put a condom on top of the jug instead of a balloon.
.
Don't know about the Superliner...they were grapes, I made Jo eat some first, waited 30 minutes, then I tasted them. They were very sweet and grapy.
Yeah, that would probably work better...bet it would be blown up big as the refrigerator this morning!

Larry's video has achieved epic status!!!
I'll bet that vid (and the others he made) have been copied & re posted more than just about anything else on YouTube!!!!!
That's a single overdrive triplex.
I thought that was Larry, was going to youtube to review to make sure.
-
I like this too-Jimmy ain't bad!
-
Guess it's just you and Herb, I gotta work tomorrow too.
Still better cook 2, Herb will probably be real hungry after his long ride. -
Nice pics there Tom. As Pretty as that Pete is I'D Still take that SuperDog
Anit seen a Marmon In years . I thought ya had ya an over sized BABY BOTTLE Cause the stopper On the Milk Jug looked like a NIPPLE On a bottle.
Gotta Say this Would'nt mind have'n me a Good Sweet Water Melon. By the way what kinda wine ya making in the Baby Bottle ERR I MEAN Homemade Winery Equipment?
Later yall
There were some wild grapes at the shop. The vines were growing up in a pine tree and I picked all I could reach when they got ripe-even climbed up the tree to pick some. Got the ballon over it so the little fruit flies can't get in it, and it lets the presssure off while the wine's working too. My Ma sent me a recipe last year to make wine in a gallon jug, the grape wine I made last year turned out pretty good.
Got another jug of plum wine working too. Bought the plums yeserday, mashed them up and got the seeds out, put them in the Miller Lite jug, covered them with water, added some sugar, and that's it. You don't even have to add yeast, yeast just makes it start to work faster. The ballon I put on that jug yeserday was already fully erect before I went to bed last night. I got 2 more gallon jugs, I want to try making some apple and pear wine in them.

Forgot this picture. I got it from an Australian Mack site, pretty cool there,eh? (that's Canadian)

I looked at a "1973" R685 and 20 ft dump trailer today I saw in a kinda local classified ad. Sadly there was no title/registration on the Mack, but the owner said it was a 1973. What year did Mack start using the cab with the 3" pushed out back?? My 79 has this, and more plastic in the interior too. The Mack I looked at today had the steel dash and smaller cab, wouldnt that make it 1972 and older?? Also, it had aluminum planetary top casings and round axle tubes, mine has cast iron housings and square tubes. Were these both 38000 rears or were the aluminum toppers lighter??
man, I miss those brain cells I abused now...used to know this. The '77 F-model I drove had the bigger sleeper and I used to remember when they changed from the flat rear on the cab...but I can't right now...probably same year on R-models. The instant Rob gets back from the buffet at the Petro he'll answer this, as he is an R-model expert. As in "air's nuttin' 'bout a r-moderl I don't know".
-
Absolutely, what Paul and Underdog said. Mack used to put a lot of thought into their setups, even the gear shift knobs,
and what Herb said...sorry, I got a call from Old Bill, my hero, the greatest truck driver ever, and quite possibly the greatest living human being.
-
I particularly like the homemade winemaking equipment!!
And I forgot to thank you for the Lincolntown photo disc - Thanks!
Paul VS
Well, thank you Paul- you're very welcome... I have become an ameteur(?) wine conner sewer, and I take back ALL the nasty things I said about you when I thought you were shunning us. You are still one of the greatest living Americans in my opinion.
By the way, it's almost hot sauce season! -
I don't know, but it sure is a neat looking truck!
-
cartoon boobage should be this big-
-
you made that?..that's funny! Haven't heard "chain drive wallet" or "pocket rockets" for a while.
You should have made the teacher's boobs bigger though.

Hey guys, it looks as if there is serious interest brewing to get this mess "straightened out". This very thread was the beginning of the path of progression bringing a few things to the forefront, and as we all know, "you can't fix what you don't know is broke". I appreciate the efforts expended to right the path that has been taken. I don't think anything was intentional and certainly not malicious but it appears to be found the membership has not been served as needed. I know I was quite surprised to learn others were having problems.
I've spoken with a couple officers of the club personally with ideas and solutions being actively engaged. My belief is everyone involved envisions the club prospering and growing with better involvement and interaction with the membership. This can, and will happen in the near future I'm quite certain.
If I proceed further down the path to forming a chapter in the midwest I will be solicting for membership of this new chapter. I have yet to receive the by-laws and such for development, but if you have an interest, pm me on this site for now. We will take it slow in the beginning stages.
As most of you know I have ample real estate available to hold meetings, shows etc., and there is room for growth.
Rob
I'll try to contact DoubleL immediately.

Wouldn't mind watching that Superliner sit in my driveway being switched over to my name while I was a eating on that watermelon. Always kinda liked them.
Rob
yeah, everybody likes watermelon.
Speaking of Superliners, there's a pretty solid black one sitting in Appomattox i'll try to get a picture of.
