1958 F.W.D.

Welcome!!! I see your R-Model going up and down 611, 412 and 309 all the time. Nice stuff, do you bring them to Macungie?

At least 3 CVN's in that pic of Norfolk Naval Shipyard....Plus a whole lotta other stuff painted haze gray

You probably giggled your ass off though, didn't you?

This song is not copyrighted in 2018 by Folsom-Yardumian Records, Inc.

New song, recently released by Gorton Heavyfoot, called "The Ballad of the No-Time-Having Driver" sung to the tune of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." "The legend lives on from Gladys on down, of the big skateboard driver called Moon. The Moon it is said, never gives up any aid, when the skies of November turn gloomy.... The truck was the pride of the Jeff Moore rides, coming back from some mill in Pittsburgh... As the big trucks go, it was colder than most, with chains and binders well frozen. concluding some terms with a couple steel firms, when he left fully loaded for McKees Rocks....When later that night when the ELD beeped, could it be the last hour he'd be using? The wind in the binders made a tattle-tale sound when the ice broke over the tarps and chains And every man knew, as Moon did too, 'twas the Winfall Women come stealin' The Dawn came late and breakfast didn't waitbecause moon never misses a meal.When afternoon came it was freezing rain in the face of a northbound wind With a load of iron ore 26 tons more than the Kenworth and flatbed weighed empty. Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the ELD says your out of hours? The GPS said, he’d had time to get unloaded if he didn’t stop 15 times to take pictures.

Drugs will burn out your brain cells, son. Stop them now while you can.

RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN. THEY ARE NOT CALLED "ROBBERS INC" FOR NOTHING. Used to be North American Engines before they were bought out by the current pirates. Turned a reputable decent family operation into what it is now. If you can find your parts elsewhere, do so.

It was at Macungie 2016(?) and was here for about 4 -5 months and then returned to the owner on the West Coast. I don't know of any return plans.

No restrictions here against right-hand drive anything. Many folks own old mail jeeps and foreign vehicles.

^ Correct. Washington or Oregon. He drove it across the USA and it was on loan and displayed by the Mack Trucks Museum. Picture taken at Trucktoberfest 2015 I think.

The 1958 F.W.D. Firetruck next to the only Aussie Valueliner in North America and a 700hp Superliner.

Did you think that up all by yourself?

Damn, I felt fine at 4pm yesterday. By 7pm my head felt like it was filling up with concrete. Tremendous sinus pressure, my eyes hurt, nose running like a faucet. Took a nice long hot shower and went to bed. Up and down all night with running nose and painful sinus pressure and fevers/chills. We got 5" of snow overnight. Got up around 6am and took a 12hr decongestant and went back to bed. Woke up around 8 and felt like crap but somewhat dry. Ran the snowblower and cleaned off the pickup and the wifemobile and by that time I felt like crap again. Wife made me tap out of work and take some tylenol. Sitting here realizing how much daytime TV sucks. Have the shades pulled because the brightness of outside hurts with this sinus pressure.

Now we have to kill you

As stubborn as she is, she probably won't even call me and fix it herself.

Before Large, Medium, Small and Extra Small will be taken for their Driver's License Exam, they will demonstrate to me the following: Checking tire pressure and how to inflate Checking oil, ATF, power steering, coolant levels, belts Using the OEM jack, wrench and spare, change a tire in front of me while discussing the best locations to change a tire and that Dad wont be pissed if you damage the rim or tire to get to a safe spot That if you call Dad at 0300 to "come and change your tire" not to be offended when he laughs and hangs up on you. So far Large will do it in his sleep. Medium will probably be able to do it but will bitch the whole time. Small will probably be able to do it and Extra Small is still being determined.

No "Girls in Cars" pictures. WTF?

A group comes to Trucktoberfest with this stuff, its cool to watch. I used to build models when I was younger, wish I had the patience for this kind of work.

That was a hood suppression system, several hundred pounds of agent. No wonder they weren't amused. Between the several thousand bucks of cost to reset and recharge the system there was a LOT of lost money because when a system dumps, the health dept closes the restaurant indefinitely until a commercial cleaning service comes in to go over the kitchen with a fine-tooth comb. Modern systems are now a wet-agent that is much easier to clean up.

If it was older they probably had to do a hydrostatic test (pressure test) of the cylinder before they could refill it.

You would have to ask my slaves, named "Large" and "Medium", who are charged with keeping the litter box in acceptable condition.

You are now forbidden from doing this.

That is an Ansul cartridge-type extinguisher, it is actually a very good unit to have. I have a 20-pounder filled with Purple K in my garage.

Happy New Year! Not slamming the door on 2017's ass but I am not sad to see it go, either.
