Yeah a creep, prick or a asshole 

He was a good actor, I dont think all his parts were that way, I  think most of us associate him with that type of character

I'd like to see those if you ever catch them. Mines in quarantine, LOL

 

Snow plow just went by again. This sucks. Finally got time off work and I can't even do any yard work.

I wouldn't complain 

Good to have a rest, even if its unplanned and unwanted 

Trying living in Australia were most of us go 7 days a week, week in week out, we generally don't mind a day off no matter the reason why

Yes it has the 425hp Cat 3406B in it with an 8LL and 50,000lb rears. 

In my unimportant opinion it is one of the best looking Superliners I have seen on here 

I remember when you got it and the tidy up you did 

Dunno were I would find that thread on here now 

It sure came up a treat 

Paul 

Federal looks 6x6 

Would make it pretty rare if it was

Paul 

Yep the world is sure in a mess over something we cant see taste smell or feel

Im fortunate or unfortunate enough to remember the last big crash in Australia in the late 80's early 90's so took very drastic and decisive measures early on 

I'm not sure what everyone else is doing in Australia but people are just starting to look at the longer term effect of Covid 19 in the weeks months and year ahead

I think only now are Mum and Dads getting concerned 

Hopefully for them it isnt all to late but I feel unfortunately really tough times are fairly likely ahead for a lot of us

Paul

Nope, have never seen drivers that cool in Australia, doesn't mean they aren't I just mix in the uncool circles 

Paul

I'll keep a eye on the mail box

Who ever is driving that blue one second from the bottom looks like they can barely see over the steering wheel 

Paul

Yep

It's official,  I'm jealous

Paul 

Yeah Vlad they are pretty special Aussie thing

They had banana backed ones as well with curves in the rear wall of the bunk for trailer swing

Paul

saw this for sale 

Genuine R model high rise Mack bunk

I think only Mack Australia had their own bunks

Just encase you are wondering the section missing out of the bottom is for the air start tank

Let me know if you want more details 

Paul

As usual Vlad, love your work 

Thanks for sharing

If you mean the Federal Reserve dropping interest rates to zero on Sunday, that scares the heck out of me because now the Fed is out of ammunition should things get worse down the road.

Scares the heck out of me as well

The clowns running Australia have changed the laws for not only bank bail puts but also for bank bail ins 

The banks can sieze any and  all assets that they have a interest in and borrow against your own equity in your own house or car or what ever

They can sieze your deposits 

They can do all of this to keep them selves afloat with out even telling us

And what about 8f the interest rates fall bellow zero we will be paying them to store our own money

Its a flipping mess and is gunna make the crappy times of GFC or 80's look like childs play if this goes pare shaped

 No one has a crystal ball and as far as I'm concerned it's all bullsh_ until proven otherwise.

Dunno about  the video, sitting at airport waiting to catch the kero kite to plant a mate and it would be rude to watch it in the airport

But that last line I feel is pretty much spot on

The future will only tell us how bad it was

The media are out of control here as no doubt they are in the rest of the world 

The sun will come up tomorrow no matter what we do 

And Coranavirus is the proper for the common cold apparently 

And there's a covid number of your choice for every year for decades

Covid 19 is 2019's version of man flu

People need to get a grip

Thats all

Paul

Looking really good Vlad

You'ved delved into a R model cab further than 

Great stuff, just hope you remember how it all goes back together 

Paul
