tjc transport

so true Bob. the general consensus was it went over to the sandbox as that was rite around the time everything was getting developed over there and they were buying everything they could for top dollar even if they were just parts trucks.

$225 per hour here in jersey. and if the computer can not tell them what is wrong, they can not fix it. 

an old timer many many many years ago(around 45) retired and needed something ot do to keep from killing his wife. 

so he bought an autocar tandem dump.....with a 903 in it backed by a 13 speed trans. 

dark brown with gold flake paint, and an aluminum body that looked like a mirror. 

it was garage kept. never went out in the rain, and was washed each night before being backed into the garage.

Mr Lang had most of the engine chrome plated too. 

that truck was a head turned where ever it went. 

no one ever knew what happened to it after he passed away, and it was never seen again.

best part was they were claiming outrageous prices for "lost belongings" it was all secondhand junk from the goodwill store. they are "professional renters" (scam artists) that know how to play the game...

Ted took video of everything in the house before the excavator crunched it up and loaded it into the bump trailers. 

regular went up 55 cents between monday and friday

looks like he no longer has pictures on the site.

for ;points elimination, you really can not beat the pertronix ignitor. uses the factory distributor, cap, and rotor. all you need to do is remove the points, put the pickup in their place, slip the magnet over the distributor shaft under the rotor, and run the two wires out to the coil.

after install i usually open the plug gap up a little, and advance timing around 4-5 degrees. 

agreed. the few i have changed did not have removable heater elements.

since we can not buy pure gas here in New Jersey, i use a double dose of stabil, and a double dose of marine stabil.

the 4 doses the two compounds lets me store gas for 18-24 months and it is still good. i do not keep it for longer than 24 months though. if there is any left after 2 years it gets poured into the car and fresh is put in storage cans in the garage.

his driving probably explains why there is no hood on the truck either

looks that way.

Get this one going again. Joey how is the motor coming along? And the friendly smoker competition?    .....Hippy

Would not matter, as that ship was going to india

i use phosphoric acid to neutralize rust. 

clean as good as possible and get all flakes off. than coat all areas with a good coating of phosphoric acid.( i like ospho brand) 

let it dry completely. when properly treated the rust turns from red/brown to flat black. that means the iron oxide (rust) is now turned to iron phosphate. 

i did a test section on an old 4ftX4ft 1/4 steel diamond plate scrap around 15 years ago when i was doing a truck frame to see how it would last unpainted.  treated half the plate. it is just now starting to show spot rust on the treated area.  

current report is over 20 aftershocks so far.

i WAS here when dinosaurs roamed the earth. as a matter of fact, i rode my pet brontosaur to school.....uphill both ways...........in the snow. 
and those scientists are full of dung. it was not a "big bang" dust cloud that killed them off, it was our taste of dino meat. 

we simply ate them all. 

after looking at a us geological chart last night i saw New Jersey has had over 30 earthquakes in the past 15 years. over 300 in the past 60 years. lucky for us almost all have been small, in the 1 or 2 ratings. 

so apparently earthquakes are not as rare here as everyone says they are. 

just had an aftershock less than 1 minute ago.

just saw on news it was not an aftershock, but a 4.0 centered about 4 miles from the one this am.

today makes #6 that i have felt. 

and i have to say the one back in 79, and the one in 08 were a lot worse, because i was only 15 miles away from the epicenter.

I think a good many of these squatters are the same people that stroll across the border freely.

no, they are not. have you not been listening to the liberal demonrat talking heads? 

all those people strolling across the southern border are fine upstanding law abiding people.  🤪

who knows??? 

there are news reports saying the captain is ukranian. than there are all the other sources saying he is no longer on the ship and an indian is captain. 

with all the BS being thrown out by media and politicians the only ones that know for sure what is true are the people on the ship

first day there were conspiracy nutjobs posting photos of "the bridge" full of cars being blown up, and you can see the charges going off taking the bridge down............the only problem was the bridge in the video was in kerch, between crimea and russia, and that video was two or three years old.

Two interesting things that have been reported on and verified are the captain driving this boat when it collided with the bridge is Ukranian. Also there is footage of the Dali colliding with docks at the port in Antwerp Belgium in 2016. Not sure if it was the same crew or not. I'm guessing not.

 

not true. the captain is Indian. and the ship was under the control of TWO port of Baltimore harbor pilots, not the captain.
