Damn lucky you were at home!! Glad all worked out and you and yours are o.k. It's good to see both sides, it's rare to have that view. Paul

ya,,,,and dont forget this is the same orginization,thats running the post office,thats 8 billion dollars in the hole every year.and the same orginization,that wants to run your healthcare,now.hahahaha,,,ya that otta work out slick.bob

The post office has asked Congress to drop the requirement that it make a $5.5 billion annual payment into a general government fund to cover future retirement disability benefits. No other government agency is required to make such a payment.

This is one reason the P.O. is in the red. The Feds see the P.O. as a cash cow like our S.S. Paul

The LIE is basicly the only way to go out and back on Long Island, probbly more than 1/2 of all the truck trailer traffic is on it, and mostly "easy" marks.... sand trailers and flat beds Still nothing but a money grab.. Paul

Probbly no idea. of its history and could care less. The post office was refaced a few years ago where I grew up. They stuccoed right over the plaque the was dedicated personally by Ike. Paul

She was on her bus run to Peconic on the north fork of L.I. and found a "pretty" Mack at a closing down farm for me to look at. Here are the photos she took .Says its only $3550.00 neg. Got to go look this weekend I guess. Paul

We got a set up like that here on the Long Island Expressway. At the NYC line you have NYC DOT, at the Nassau county /Suffolk county line you have Nassau Pd "safety" checks and at exit 64 in Suffolk you have the Suffolk Sheriffs motor carrier unit doing full checks and the New York State Police doing random stops and weight checks. I got stopped 3 weeks ago by the State police because "your truck is old and its got to have violations" None found. All it in a 65 mile stretch of road. Paul

And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land

Called America , having lost their morals, their initiative, and their

Will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that

Person known as "The One."

He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning; but He

Hypnotized the people telling them, "I am sent to save you." My lack

Of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my

Association with evil doers are of no consequence. I shall save you

With Hope and Change. Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the

Land that he who proceeded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation,

And that all he has built must be destroyed. And the people rejoiced,

For even though they knew not what "The One" would do, he had promised

That it was good; and they believed. And "The One" said " We live in

The greatest country in the world. Help me change everything about it!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah! Change is good!"

Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats." And the

People said "Sock it to them!" "And redistribute their wealth." And

The people said, "Show us the money!" And the he said, "

Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody.."

And Joe the plumber asked, " Are you kidding me? You're going to

Steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??" And "The One"

Ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were hacked and publicized.

One lone reporter asked, "Isn't that Marxist policy?" And she was

Banished from the Kingdom's press corps ".

Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and

Having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with

Radical terrorists?" And "The One" said, "Simple. I shall sit with

Them and talk with them and show them how nice we really are; and they

Will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!" And the people

Said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons

Into free cars for the people!"

Then "The One" said "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes." And one,

lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes." So "The One"

said, "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah! Show us the money!"

Then "The One" said, "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell

your homes!" And the people yawned and the slumping housing market

collapsed. And He said. "I shall mandate employer-funded health care

for every worker and raise the minimum wage. And I shall give every

person unlimited healthcare and medicine and transportation to the

clinics." And the people said, "Give me some of that!"

Then he said, "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."

And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"

Then "The One" said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry and

electricity rates will skyrocket!" And the people said, "Coal is

dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part

about higher electric rates." So "The One" said, Not to worry. If

your rebate isn't enough to cover your expenses, we shall bail you out.

Just sign up with the ACORN and you troubles are over!"

Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let's

grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches,

free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing..." And

the people said, "Hallelujah!" and they made him king!

And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and

ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers. Others

simply gave up and went out of business and the economy sank like

a rock dropped from a cliff.

The banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a

crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support.

Then "The One" said, "I am the "the Chosen One"- The Messiah - and I'm here

to save you! We shall just print more money so everyone will have

enough!" But our foreign trading partners said unto Him. "Wait a

minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have

to pay more... And "The One" said, "Wait a minute. That is

not fair!!"

And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic

programs you have embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist state and

a second-rate power. Now you shall play by our rules!"

And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?" But yea

verily, it was too late. The people set upon The One and spat upon

him and stoned him, and his name was dung. And the once mighty nation

was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or

shelter or hope. And the Change "The One" had given them was as like

unto a poison that had destroyed them and like a whirlwind that

consumed all that they had built.

And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish,

"give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!" But it was too

late, and their homeland was no more.

You may think this a fairy tale, but it's not.

It's happening RIGHT NOW

The day we lose our will to fight is the day we lose our freedom.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Like Rob said LOL. The only other dedicated sites are for International Harvester, Marmon and CF/Freighliner. Paul

Those people are nuts. My thoughts with the drum is after I have it lifted off is to quarter it, empty it and re weld it. It will never be functional just look the part. Paul

ah,,,gotcha,,are you concidering it for yourself?bob

It's a runner, I'm interested. My AC chassis is a project I hope to live long enought to finish and my mixer has a full drum of concrete ,so thats a project too.

My AC and B were both built in N.J. I don't have a scanner but in John Montvilles book "BULLDOG" there are a few photos of the early part of the Plainfield plant with AB and AC chassis coming out if this door. Paul

geeeeeees!!!,,aint that a b----h,,,thats what u get for your efforts,of coarse the party mighta been off for the weekend,,,but then again,no cell phone???lol.bob

We got a live person only taking messages while her boss was out working. I still got a week left of forced vacation, so I'll try a few more times and send over my cousin. Paul

Apparently not very interested in selling it. I called friday afternoon and evening, saturday a couple of times and sunday before we left Hunter to come home. We were only 40 miles or so from it and just kept getting told to call back in a few hours. Paul

Its been on Ebay a few times, I forget what he was asking for it but im sure it was Alot.

$11,500 was in an older ad, really not to bad for the condition it's in. IMO Paul

We've flushed the gear bxes by removing the PTO covers and drain plug(s) and liberal internal spray down with Brakeklean, it won't attack the seals. Others may have an easier or better method than this. You can also get a synthetic and petrolium based oil too. Paul

Yes it is touching, but I just hope your government don't allow a Mexican resturant to be put their or a Mosk. mike

My uncle was killed on the USS OKLAHOMA at Pearl Harbor, The Missouri is berthed at that spot, across from the entrance is/ was a souviner kyosk ......most of them were made in Japan. The USS Oklahoma family association protested that a were asked what the problem was,so a taco bell or goat head sandwich stand would not surprise me at all at any Veterens Cemetary or Memorial. Most people have no idea of our history or respect for it. Sadly a different world than I grew up in,luckly my kids and grand kids have that respect in them. Paul

AMEN!

Just be sure to drain ALL the old stuff out. Mixing synthetic with fossil is not good to bearings and such

Yep forgot to mention give it a GOOD FLUSH.

I agree leave it whole, it looks too nice to part out. FYI in N.Y. any pre title (I think 1973 and older) yo need a bill of sale and a tracing off the VIN. The DMV will than issue a 1 year non transferable registration. After the year if nothing bad shows up in the system they'll issue a standard tranferable registation. I did this with my B and my AC even though they were non runners just to get it over with. Paul

Ive used synthetic in older rears and trannies. The main different I was told by Dutchman Diesel who does our rears and trannies, that synthetic does not break down or degrade over time and the lubrication qualities are more consistant. What I have found is easier shifting and quieter. IMO. Paul

Wow! That truck is in amazing shape. That is an excellent restoration piece right there.

Did you see the link on the e bay add for the U tube video of it? I sure wish I had more room for it! Paul

Tried to cut and paste but new forum would not let me do it, so here is the item number ebay # 270790306424

1939 Mack BM. Looks good!!

I just wonder if this radar spotted any UFO's during it's day. Truman was big in UFO crap.

mike

Some legends with Camp Hero are: active HAARP units, our involvement in time travel ,the "Philadelphia" experiment, Reptile men and a UFO base. People sure have wild imaginations.

Everything of value was removed in the 1980's including the array motors and such. Some vandals hit the housing area in the 90's but it is at the end of the island (less than 500 yds from the Atlantic ocean) and only 1 road in for 25 miles

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/08/04/16-countries-including-mexico-file-briefs-against-new-alabama-immigration-law/#content

Since when do other countries have this much say in our laws? If Mexico is so interested in " protecting" its citizens, they should start dealing with their domestic internal mess! And, of course, they conveniently leave out the fact that Mexico has much tougher laws against illegals in their own country than Alabama does! How about the fact that Mexican immigration law stipulates that" Mexico can DEPORT FOREIGNERS who are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” violate Mexican law, are not “physically or mentally healthy” or lack the “necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents ( Washington Times)". Always pointing fingers at the United States, but people need to wake up and realize that illegals have no rights in this country; we are a country that governs and functions by the rule of law and order; there is no place for ILLEGAL immigration.

I noticed it appears the floor tiles being removed. Back in the days of this facility's operation, they were asbestos containing materials most likely manufactured by Johns-Manville corp. They are being removed everywhere right now.

Rob

The pipe and duct insulation, ceiling tiles, floor tiles and the concrete /asbestos shingles on the base buildings. Media blasting all the concrete and sealing it to encapsulate the asbestos fibers added to increase the strength. Surprised no ones mentioned the lead based solder in the remaining equipment or plumbing We worry about that and then fill up on smokes and micky dees.........go figure.
