No problem...just wanted clarification to make sure no problem with my system.

I will not be at the nooner picture. Of course most of you have seen my ugly mug before. I am likely going to bail between 11 and 1130 so I can "be at the wedding on time" (Mrs. Farmer said so). Should be a great show (like always). The weather forecast looks good and trucks were arriving on Thursday afternoon (to Dave's dismay). Had dinner with Roger Gerhart, Roger's wife, DCR (Denny and his wife Ruthann), and others. Enjoyed talking with Roger...a wealth of information. BTW, Roger said of all the Macks he liked the MH the best. More trucks will likely show today (Friday) and looking forward to the clambake tonight. Safe travels everyone!

Saw these articles posted in Fleet Owner. Does anyone know of this yard or has anyone visited this place? I think this is the place on the east side of I-78 just south of Allentown. A few pics of MH, R doors, and Superliner hood. Looks like an interesting place. http://fleetowner.com/equipment/visit-truck-boneyard?NL=FO-01&Issue=FO-01_20131003_FO-01_650&YM_RID=kclaar@neo.rr.com&YM_MID=1425549&sfvc4enews=42#slide-4-field_images-102962 There is also a sub-article about an old Mack barn find. The "old Mack" is an International with a bulldog on the hood. There is a picture of the IH hooked to a Superliner. http://fleetowner.com/equipment/classic-plucked-barn#slide-5-field_images-102982 Another article http://fleetowner.com/blog/where-trucks-go-die-or-be-reborn?NL=FO-01&Issue=FO-01_20131003_FO-01_650&YM_RID=kclaar@neo.rr.com&YM_MID=1425549&sfvc4enews=42

Is it the infamous mike69mackman? I never saw him without a cap. Will he be signing autographs at Gerhart's?

I made it to Lititz and dropped the trailer at Gerhart's. Dave is busier than a cat covering crap on a tin roof. Wanted to get the Mack/trailer washed at Lancaster Truck Wash but they were too busy (didn't see much happening when I drove by). The girl on the phone said "today is not a good day". Well heck, when would be a good day? End of rant! I will try to get most of the bugs off the windshield and bumper but it will be far from clean.

But the unemployed, too lazy to work crowd is all in favor of Obummercare. Hmmm! If you want health insurance, go get a job and get your hands out of my pockets!

My MH does not have ABS but the trailer does. The amber light does not illuminate.

X2! BTW, nice R!!

Here is your answer... Betty Boop made the scene in 1930 and is based off of Clara Bow, the "it' girl. Bettie Page did not become famous until the mid 50s and was only 7 when Betty Boop was around.

Yep....15 minutes in the corner and then you have to dust the erasers, wash the blackboard, put out the cat, empty the trash, turn off the lights......

Nice pics but Hank is going to be "cranky".

Air leaking from the trailer lines could be a bad tractor protection valve. But a leaking TPV should not cause slow brake release. Just a thought.

I kinda' liked the aardvark.

I am ready to head east (wasn't that a group?) on Turdsday morning. Don't forget the Clambake at Gerhart's on Friday evening - excellent!! I am planning to eat breakfast at Lititz Family Cupboard on Saturday morning. They open at 6a (O'dark 30). The stuffit buffit is great! You all are welcome to join me. It is just a few miles from Gerhart's. http://lititzfamilycupboard.com/

I just read that government employess will not be paid.....but our elected officials still get paid. What is wrong with this picture?

Thanks for the link. I was already registered and am ready to go. Great time last year! I posted it in the Calender section.

Give it another try. I repasted the link and it works for me.

At least you will know where it is located for next year. Did you get a chance to walk around and look at all the "toys"?

Forgot about this post. Here is the serial number of the MH613 at Winchester.

Did you check with Barry at Watt's?

Thanks Mike...you too!

Yum Yum!!

Finally downloaded my pics from the show. OD already posted many of these but always nice to see them again. Also included is a few vids - one of a SCREAMING Detroit (which Ben should enjoy). http://s1305.photobucket.com/user/pafarmer52/library/#/user/pafarmer52/library/2013%2009%2027%20ATHS%20Winchester%20Show?sort=2&page=0&_suid=138063218459609241878617321542 BTW, I think a few of us are in the running for "dunlaps disease - dun lapped over the belt".

Here is a pic of Carl's (fxfymn) IH fire truck.

I bought stuff from this place years ago for my H67. I could not remember the name but knew it was located close to Altoona. Thanks for the link!!
