  1. I have had many guys ask me about my wife and taking her to the Nunnery. She doesn't care one iota, she likes the wings and as far as the scenery she says "Who am I to look around at guys and tell you that you can't look at women?" If she sees my neck snapping around whenever a particularly nice one walks by, she may even whisper into my ear "I would bring her home for you and me.......If I went that way" and then blows into my ear. She always follows up with her standard speech- "You can look at the menu all you want but the minute you order......you are done!" I keep her around for a while!
  2. I APPROVE!
  3. What engine? And the combo looks great, the refurb came out nice!
  4. What the hell are they made from? Rubber from another galaxy?
  5. Is that going to the Udvar-Hazy Annex of the Air & Space Museum?
  6. That fish is saying "Something smells fishy...."
  7. Welcome Home, Soldier. Thank You.
  8. Trump could cure cancer tomorrow and the Dems would blast him for putting millions in the healthcare industry out of work
  9. There were several companies out there who would do refurbs using factory doors. Murphy as mentioned. JC Moore in Allentown was another one and also ITE did a few back in the day. Oreland, Pennsylvania had twins who's doors sheet metal came all the way down to the bottom of the cab.
  10. What did you have to research?
  11. No, that is about an average price for any similar, standard canopy-cab pumper in the 1000-1500gpm range that is in poor to average condition. They just do not command large resale values.
  12. Many have been calling/texting asking about the status of Trucktoberfest 2019 with the current events. The Grand Poobah advises folks to please monitor the Mack Trucks Historical Museum's Facebook page as well as the website. As of this morning, Tues 10/15, the show is a GO.
  13. I am sorry that this had to happen to a good person, who has good intentions, to help good people. Really turns my stomach.
  14. Parking is at a premium at the show, and the museum usually wants for you to pre-register so that they have an idea of how many to expect. That being said, if you just showed up, I wouldn't think anyone would turn you away, but I cannot speak for the museum with absolute certainty.
  15. This is cool. NASCAR or any kind of road racing does absolutely nothing for me at all. But to make a car go from zero to XXXmph in one quarter of a mile really appeals to me. All of it. The science of aerodynamics, the mechanics of making fuel and air go through to the cylinders faster, getting the exhaust out faster, the science of tires, everything. I love being in the pits at NHRA events and watching an entire engine being torn down and rebuilt in between runs. All of it. Go fast, turn left. Go fast, turn left. Go fast, turn left. Go fast, turn left. Go fast, turn left.........YAWN
  16. Otherdog was there and burned up several rolls of film.........errrrrr ahhhhh I mean bytes of storage on his memory card. He will probably post a link to his flickr account here at some point for everyone.
  17. Any Hayward R-Models Daddy? LOL!!!!
  18. Do you have any Hayward F-Models and if so, will you adopt me?
  19. Paul, any news outlets following this? And do they publish minutes of their meetings online? I need some comic reading. And did you get the private message about Ray and Gregg?
  20. CARL!!! Haven't seen you on here in quite a while!! Hope all is well! The boys and I ended up camping in Gettysburg again, and went to four different battlefield walks. We had a great time, too. Maybe next summer we can branch out to a different battlefield!
  21. I just saw this for the first time last night. This is really cool. A modern-Day "Dunkirk."
  22. Sounds interesting. I will order one myself. The book, not the coloring book. Unless you want me to get you a coloring book, other dog. Or maybe that Pitt-Ohio driver wants one?
  23. Not sacreligious if it is done in the name of safety. ease of preventive maintenance and does not greatly alter the overall appearance of the vehicle.
  24. For those of you who cannot find a local source of corn-free: www.pure-gas.org
