Great, I went to one once when they had it at the Keystone Antique Truck and Tractor Museum.
-
We always try to drive a couple hours south to the truck show in Colfax every fall.
-
wow, how'd I miss that?..but happy birthday miss Stone. That must make you the oldest person in the world, congratulations on reaching that milestone.
-
Oh, I hadn't thought of that. I'll just put a can of stop-leak in it. Black pepper might work too, works good in a leaking radiator.

I had a 71 F100 that I painted at home in the driveway with a brush and red implement paint from the hardware store when I lived in Appomattox. Didn't look bad at all, at least not compared to what it looked like at first 🤣

I haven't posted any updates on the old rustbucket lately, so here's the latest- my emblems that I ordered came today so I slapped them on the side. I wish they were about twice as big, then they would have covered up the other two holes from the original emblems. I should have closed the hood for the picture. Anyhow, here's a girl in a car, for no good reason. Zina from Gladys said the truck needed some stripes or something, so I said "no problem". A can of Rust-oleum later, we have stripes. I painted the grill, put some red reflector tape over the former blue oval, so now it looks like a Peterbilt oval, and painted that brush guard thing too, all with spray paint. I have a new brake booster in the shed that i'm going to put on it when I get motivated enough to do it, the old one has a constant vacuum leak so I ordered one from Rock Auto. And i'm going to look into why the rear gas tank leaks too, when I get around to it, it's too hot now. So here's a girl making lemonade. If lemonade doesn't interest you, I saw this hawk in a tree across the road one day, so I grabbed a quick picture.

I had several Scouts, I used to do some mud bogging in this one. It had a Chevrolet engine and transmission and I won some trophies with it. But I probably had as much or more fun with this old '64. It had the 152 4 cylinder, which was half of a 304. It was bored .060 over and had a little head work done by the previous owner, who used to race it. Still wasn't any kind of powerhouse, but after he moved on to something bigger (faster) I bought it- after it had been parked in the weeds for about 10 years. About all I did was get the carb. rebuilt and fixed the brakes and I was riding. I used to ride all the Westvaco logging trails between rt.24 and rt.60 when I lived in Appomattox.

Happy 4th.of July back Bob.
-
Yep, that's Joe Ditchkus. I yelled and flagged him down one morning not realizing that he was in the middle of a Facebook live thing.
-
He's into snowmobiles, wimmens, cars, girls, trucks, girls, working, and wimmens now. He said it was his first trip to Macungie in 5 years.
-
you're very welcome.
-
All the pictures have a number. They look like this on my computer. I also see the numbers on flickr, but that might just be because I posted them, I don't know. But here's Vinny, U model nut, with his fuel tank.
-
That's right, and it's here on this thread too, a few posts back.
-
That picture no. 5025 is U model nut by the way. Everybody remembers U model nut. He bought a fuel tank at the flea market and he was riding on a golf cart holding the tank. His girlfriend was riding, I guess a friend was the wheel man, or it might have been the seller just hauling the tank for him. He was just a youngster when he was a regular on here, now he's a grown ass man. I talked to him for a few minutes.

You're welcome Vlad, we enjoy going and I enjoy taking pictures. I even enjoy that editing part. I read a review a while back about a "magic bullet" lens for a Nikon camera, an 18-300mm. lens. I would love to have one of those, but when I looked on Amazon it was a thousand dollar lens. But it would take the place of all the lenses I have now, which is only three. Then I could take everything from wide angle to super zoomed shots with that same lens. I just keep the smallest one I've got on the camera, but it doesn't have much zoom capability. If I used the next bigger one I have to be 50 yards away to get more than just a door in the frame, so I make do with what I've got. I should get a new memory card for Zina's camera and try that sometime. Her's doesn't have interchangeable lenses but it has awesome zoom, it's one of those super-powered P900's. It has 83x zoom, equivalent to a 24-2000 lens. And it takes great pictures. I have a Panasonic with 60x zoom that's my "everyday" camera. That's the one I used to carry in the truck, but the picture quality is not even close to the Nikon.
-
Oh...wow, that's a great idea, how come I never thought of that?
-
Almost forgot this one- it was in the motel parking lot. and here's a random girl working in the kitchen, from the internet.
-
By the way, all these pictures are still on my camera, full size and uncut if anybody wants me to send them any of them. I'm going to delete them, but I haven't yet. I delete mine every time I put them on the computer, Zina on the other hand has never deleted any off her camera since I gave it to her for Christmas several years ago. Which is like 2,200 pictures, I just looked. Good thing I got her a big memory card for it too.
-
Wow, I'm sorry to hear this too Dave, hadn't seen this thread in a while. But here's another link to the Macungie pictures in case anybody missed it on "Odds and Ends''.
-
thanks, I will check this out. I do mine one at a time, and usually crop people, golf carts, poles, or something out of every single one, that's what's so time consuming.
-
I was hoping to too, there were plenty of photo-worthy specimens there Friday, as it was close to 90 degrees. I just never...it would have been too obvious is I guess what i'm trying to say.😁
-
You are welcome 😁.
-
Well, I finally got my Macungie pictures posted to Flickr. Just click on the picture...and remember, I have over 10,000 pictures there for your viewing pleasure.
