most guys that have an effect on us, by just being themselves, never know just how much they did . 

l am making an effort to find and speak to those who made an impact on myself in the past. The few l have spoken to are surprise to be thanked for something that they did. Small or large doesn't matter so long as it was an important moment. A friend who towed my truck home from Hartford Conn, no charge. Repair shop owner that put other work on hold so l could get fixed and on my way. Terminal manager assuring my wife l would have a job after l recovered from back surgery. The one guy l can't find is the one that taught me to drive tractor trailer. Ed Armstrong last known to drive for Bemis Bag in Pepperell Mass. And there are several more to go yet.    ......Hippy

Still remember the deal on the OD models...go through the first 4 gears pretty quick, wind fourth to the rev limiter, pull it into neutral, eat a sandwich, and then put it into fifth.  It seemed like a week went by waiting for the revs to drop enough to hit fifth!

Always told people that didn't know Macks you had to be a smoker. 1-2 reach for the pack of cigs, into 2nd. 2-3 get the cig out of the pack into 3rd. 3-4 push the lighter in (on the dash) into 4th. 4-5 pull the lighter out, light the cig, take a drag, replace the lighter, then drop it in 5th. And then you are on your way!    .....Hippy
