^^^^^This. I can't believe that the Republican primary selected Dr. Oz as their candidate. If Dave McCormick would have won the primary this wouldn't even be a contest at this point. To many people don't believe Oz is genuine for many reasons. Its sad the guy was born and raised in Cleveland OH, lived summers in Turkey, lived and worked in New York City until his TV career started in 2009. Then lived in Southern California until now he all of a sudden is the best person they could come up with to represent PA in the US Senate. To be fair he did live in Philadelphia for a time in the mid 1980s while as a student attending the University of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately he is just a big of a quack as Fetterman. He is just wearing different rags. The governor's race is just as bad. Can't believe the Republicans came up with this guy. I will bet my lunch and this week's pay the Governor will remain a democrat because their candidate is very moderate and appeals to lots of people on the right. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm sure I'll piss some people off with this, but I voted  for Trump twice as the lesser of two evils. And for sure he would have done a better job than sleepy Joe.  But it should not be a choice of the lesser of two evils. (listen to Tobey Keith's.."Happy Birtrhday America")

Time for Trump to move on.  I will bet that more of his candidates that he endorsed and won the party nomination will lose than will win.  Here in my state you can vote for anyone in primary elections regardless if you are a registered in either party or you are an independent. This year in the race for governor,  Republicans had a choice between a very successful businessman who has never held office and a guy who served one term in the state legislature and ran unsuccessfully for senator-but was endorsed by Trump.  Guess who won- the Trump guy by a narrow margin.  After that election I wrote a letter  to the Boston Globe and said..."Either Republicans are stupid  or a lot  of Democrats voted for the winner".

Trumps ego will always get in the way of good  judgement IMO.

PA same situation- I wish you guys in PA luck!

all good!!

I'll have you know that that's not a rental, I actually own that fine clothing! 

And thank you.

Hah! I should have known better..just judging by  the good Fit😎  Tells you about the crowd I hang around with..no one owns a tux!

Congratulations.....was surprised though that a practical guy like you would spring for a tux rental..must have been the Brides influence😎

Hopefully many good years  ahead for you!

On Sunday Bronco Owners Northeast held our Fall Cruise.  Started at High Octane Classics in Auburn MA and ended at  Northeast Broncos in Walpole. High Octane  Classics is an unreal operation.  Owner basically buys decent vehicles-no rust buckets- most of which are decent vehicles that an owner started to work on and either lost interest-or ran out  of funds--got divorced😎?- so this operation would finish job.  to give  you an idea they shipped 6 vehicles to Barrett Jackson-Houston this week.  Probably 50 vehicles on property from Ferraris to an International Scout including all sorts of Mustangs  and a lot of big block Bowties.   Check  out website. 

Probably 50  first gen Broncos showed  up and at least 50 NEW Broncos.  Cop blocks  Rt 20 eastbound and we left as a group headed to Walpole via Rt 20, RT 140, Rt 1A.

Northeast Broncos is a Bronco restoration shop. They had probably 25 Broncos on property they were working on...most  interesting, a 79?? that looked like the body had been soda blasted and it was awaiting  a new  7.3 Godzilla!

I just read a news story about our King..   He was at a conference on Hunger, and asked for Jackie Walorski...   I guess he wanted to hear from her... However, she and 3 others were killed in a car accident on Aug. 3 2022..   In the state of Indiana...  We have 2 more years of this crap..  and if he ends up removed from the throne, then we will either be controlled by Dr.Jill,  or Kamala...   God help us...  

His press "lady" tried to cover this with some bullshit.  How could you possibly make such a mistake.  He had to make a public statement  when the gal was killed a month ago.  Then again he probably never even read the press release attributed to  him.

That sucks,   Look's like the trailer is rusted pretty bad..  Maybe,  thats where the problem started...  Still suck's,,

Maybe????😎

How about this quote today that showed up on an AOL post...

"The [governor] from Florida wants to follow in the footsteps of the one here," Guzman said. "They're trying to make life miserable for Venezuelans."

Can you imagine this coming from one of the gate crashers. Others commented on the "danger" that these "poor souls" faced when they were sent to Martha's Vineyard.

These people actually think they have some right to do this.  In the meantime, the "tent city" in Boston.."Mass and Cass" is building again after the city kicked their asses out once.  We have enough problems of our own without adding thousands more every day.

That is a very SHARP car!! Larry Freight train will prolly wet his pants!!

For sure! But no  "flags"....so a sleeper or a  289? 352 2.bbl?

Great Matt..have to think your experience as a pilot had to influence everything you did..no room for "good enough" or "i'll deal with it when I have to"

Surprised they would even mess with a lift axle with a mine truck.   good looking truck too!   terry

T,

Agree on that! and my first thought was given the beef of the rest of the tires, that lift looks like it has rubber that might last a week! As a percentage of weight tandems must scale out at, why bother with ....? 11-24.5's??--un less of course the law says..."4 axles gives you X pounds"-regardless of specific weight rating of individual axles/tires

But an impressive beast for sure.

Thx HS.  Just curious why they would go with 19.5 wheels?

Not sure I know what these are.  My best guess? These are two  boxes on a tri axle trailer with tri axle  dollies??

That's the way the Euclid dump trucks I used to drive worked!

Most of these newer automatics use combinations of clutches and brakes to get different ratios through the planetary sets.  Lots of weird goings-on in there.

Planetary sets I'm told is how Ford gets 4 more speeds out of what looks like the same case.  Google "Ravigneaux" That is what concept is.

The Quadruplex weighs 815 pounds.

Thx- reason I'm asking  not Mack related but Ford is going to start offering the 10 speed auto used in F-550-and I think F-600, in the 650/750 Power Strokes.  You can get a 750 with a 37,000 GVW.  In questioning the durability of the 10 speed as it doesn't weigh much more than the  6 speed currently used, I'm thinking 4 more speeds, how does it NOT weigh substantially more -as in Mack  Duplex/Triplex/Quad.

Answer I'm told is the Ford 10speed makes use of planetary gear sets- the Ravigneaux concept, which I never heard of.

The Mack two sticks?? Just a lot more iron i'm sure.

Any clue on weights of  Duplex, Tiriplex and Quad?   Big ones that would have been used with 675/6.

I bought 4 new Summitomos  11R 24 a year ago.  guy that I deal with had no trouble getting them.  I'm in Mass.

Solid lifter 390s ?  2 door Galaxies ?   That's quite a rocket , love to have one of those now (like when it was new)

I think they were 330 horse.  the hyd lifter 390 was 300.  I remember the local paper did a feature on the new "State Police Interceptors".   Can you imagine a newspaper publishing such a story today?

NJ State Police had at least 2 66 galaxie 500 2 door hardtop "interceptors" with 428 4close ratio 4 speed and 3.25 geared 9 3/8 rear ends. 

basically 7 litre cars with the 7 litre package delete. a friend has two of them in a secure garage in Newark NJ. he bought both when they were retired, and restored them with everything but working two way radios. they have CB's in them instead.

Nice See if you can grab some pix.

Helped move six vintage cruisers this morning over to the Farmington Polo Grounds. THere's a group coming from Australia, too! Mostly a car event, giving rides to the special olympians and their families. Lots of smiles will be had and a lot of funds, too.

Nice Matt and sounds like a worthwhile charity!  I remember 1961-I was a senior in high school-ugh.   CSP had I do believe  plain jane two door Galaxies with solid lifter 390's-black of course.
