my two number 4's arrived today. figured by now taking all 4 side by side it would be easy to say " I like this one better than that one "NOT HAPPENING . 1's as good as 2 -2 as good as 1/3/4 . excellent start of hope to be large collection. #5 ???? THANKS

not good to have a dried out roll between the sheets!!!🤣🤣

count my vote as a yes to Susanna also . '60's/70's weren't to shy about having some beautiful women. not sure is this still on topic ???LOL

why of course you do ; that's one of the signs of a well kept. professional mechanics shop.

not only was gasket paper common back then : it came in different thickness. had the hole punch set and good sharp knife .

didn't think gasket paper was even available anymore ! thought new generation only had gaskets from a silicone tube, 😀nice job on the new ones.

You have my "vote" for the kielbasa and eggs -I missed that food intake !! My hats off to You Sir for Your accomplishments. wife number 2 doesn't understand how a foul marriage entices the urge to alcohol intake.

working slow indicates a great desire to be accurate in ALL aspects of the quality job being done. ;;Sir,

question for me !!! how far did the lawn run 🤣. couldn't help it.

issue with the beer for me is the weight gain. last week or so for me attempting to meet a weight number before this up coming appointment ; NO beer/ eating healthy stuff. DR will kick my ass if I'm over weight. last saw him I was 200lbs (6ft) . today scaled in at 183.4

when draining the oil/ use a kitchen strainer under plug .strainer usually will catch lifter particles. when Mack went to oversized pans ; what a pain -in =ass . helps to make sure pan HAS to be removed. and we all know oil warm when draining helps.

Don't ever loose the appreciation of a loving wife which supports You and stands by you ;Sir . You are among a shrinking group. hopefully You and co= worker (wife) enjoyed Your "stay-cation.😀

fortunately I found one of the cardboard stoppers my Grandfather used on his milk bottles having His name on it,, tried in '78 after I bought the Grandparents farm(what was left of it) to keep it going.

My grandfather delivered milk from his farm by horse and wagon to local towns for years. remember walking into barn (as a youngster ) and being shot in the face by milk straight from the cow He was milking. days todays generation will never understand OR could appreciate. IF we could only go back to such a simpler /positive/ Family environment.

My hats off to you Sir;; that's courage at it's maximum. alcohol unfortunately has become a big part of my life. between bodily pain and other issues. this is from someone who NEVER drank till after 30.. have been doing a shot of jagermeister regularly. was told yrs ago "a shot a day helps internal stomach issues."

it's that small word "IF small word means so much. WE ALL HAVE IF IN OUR LIVES ;; DON'T WE !!

that I remember'' the oil filter radio can't say same.

anyone check to see if engine had oil i it. engine seized ?? a diesel will not just shut down without cause, thanks JoJo , checking for air leaks with engine running ?? normally a mechanic will put shop air to system so as to listen for leaks . hope this shop is reputable / not looking for a customer screwing.

now we ALL have to be open minded . ask yourself __ what did the generation before think of rock/roll == I KNOW not what we today think of this trash. just trying to be open mined or being influenced by Yukon Jack after a long work Sunday...

lucky for you being out west where there isn't the winter of east coast. the pounds don't seem to accumulate faster after retirement. Easter Sunday for 50 plus years was the ONLY day I never worked . I worked another 8 hrs plus today at the farm to get caught up for tomorrow . 1 service and packing wheel bearing on trailer plus misc. helped to eliminate the temptation of over eating before thurs appointment.

can see now you don't have the shutterstat system BUT the lower tank self contained (NO AIR) system. disconnect linkage as prescribed and carefully work shutters.

but that's what I say to my "wife" -- we're not going to make it ". she thinks (not really capable ) we are ==== heck no.

hopefully count me in also. Brockway's were always a bold looking work horse. we'll know soon .

feedline to the shutterstat should have a 1/4 turn brass valve in line . close the air supply ; shutters are suppose to stay open . will allow for running the unit plus give time to diagnose system.

it's like a cold ;;feel good now then next minute !!! the age factor same == why do I feel so old and projects take soooo long. I was racing around last week!! NO it wasn't last week but 2 yrs ago. spent afternoon today with back pack leave blower " back then the blower ran out of gas before me == NOT any more. only reason for pushing the limit was trying to drop a few pounds before cardio appointment this thurs. came down to loose the pounds or "pack it in " ALL living things -- be it man ; grass/animals; the ONLY common factor is we ALL have a start/ finish date. tell the wife we are all listed in "the book" .turn page and our names show up; can't change it.
