  1. I agree about TWC...just a channel. I usually turn it on for background "noise" when I travel and the local weather. I was in Lancaster, PA (Akron) and BORED. No "Winfall wimmin in buggies"! I just wish TWC would broadcast ONLY WEATHER. Leave the "drama and reality" TV to some other channel. I did not want to start flipping channels so I "endured" the trucking crap. TWC always "sensationalizes" everything they show. Even the weather is now "sensationalized". As for the wimmin...not that same. Kelly Cass and Kim Cunningham are the only ones left from the "old days". Kelly is showing the mid-age spread. And Kim...a high class hooker. I wish I could see the video of Kelly's "nipple slip" many years ago. My favorites are long gone...and Jim Cantore...what a hot dog...I am hoping a 2x4 hits him in the head during a hurricane.
  2. Congrats on the G. The fuel tanks could be leaking between the straps and tank - something to check.
  3. Did anyone watch the new show on The Weather Channel about truck drivers? I was TOTALLY BORED and had TWC on and this show aired. Three (3) drivers (1-lady and 2-guys). One guy was from Canada and he drove with his seat to the floor and had a tall shifter. The other male driver looked like he was in a recliner. Sometimes you have to wonder what the H-e-double l.
  4. Nice pics...keep posting...thanks
  5. edited...
  6. Hmmm, maybe I need a pair for my MH.
  7. Saw the F in March when I was headed north on I-77 but didn't have time to stop and take a picture. Thanks for posting the pics OD. Seat cover season....bring it on!
  8. In the past I got my DOT physical and medical card from the company doctor (no charge). Now that I am retired I am going to ask my family doc if he does DOT physicals. If not I may be stopping by CVS. Keep me updated Larry.
  9. I think they use the MH as a "spotter". Driver's wiper in different position too. I may give them a call and ask if it is for sale.
  10. Has anyone called about this truck? I may have to give them a call. What is a "reasonable" price?
  11. Let me guess, you are married... I hear if you "swing" both ways you double your chances. (I want to be perfectly clear...this is what I HEAR)
  12. Best way to find out is to call the dealer and get the price and minimum quantity. Considering the cost and size of a windshield, I doubt you will need to by 2 of each.
  13. Exports tend to overinflate the true price/value of the vehicle. And make it hard for a local buyer to justify the purchase.
  14. Yes I heard Jennies is a great restaurant. I couldn't think of the name but I always see a lot of trucks sitting in the parking lot. Maybe slpwlker will go there instead of Friendly's.
  15. Does that mean the "gate" will be locked?
  16. I was hoping Navistar and Cat would develop a non-SCR engine. I think everyone "caved in" on SCR as an easy way to meet emissions regs and were tired of "spending $$". I saw a chart showing cost versus emissions reduction....the cost was ASTRONOMICAL compared to the VERY SMALL amount of emissions improvement. We can thank EPA for these regs and increased costs. I think the engine OEs will ultimately develop a non-SCR in the coming years. Prior to 2010, the OEs were VERY CLOSE to meeting emissions without SCR. I think the best engines (reliability, emissions, smokeless, and fuel economy) were the early 2000 engines.
  17. Stayed there a few times. There are a few restaurants to the east of you...Dienner's, Good 'N Plenty, and Hershey Farm. I never cared for Miller's. Good 'N Plenty is family style and has EXCELLENT shoofly pie. I am at the Rodeway Inn in Akron. I started staying here in 2011 when I attended Gerhart's show. The hotel is an old style but clean and quiet. No truck parking but the owner lets me park my MH here. FYI, I don't have my MH with me this trip. I may drive to Gerhart's on Friday and "snoop" around.
  18. I was guessing and as I stated, depends where you are in Lancaster. Where are you staying (on Route 30)?
  19. about 20 miles depending where you are. I am staying in Akron...on 222 just north of 772.
  20. If you are talking Breezewood....NO, just fast food. I was on my way to Lancaster to visit Outback Toys in Lititz. They are having their customer appreciation days (Friday and Saturday). I have never been to Outback and needed a "mental health break". I am going back to Altoona on Saturday morning. I ate lunch at Oregon Farm (north of Lancaster off 222) - lunch stuffit buffit. Anyone near Lititz want to meet for breakfast on Friday or Saturday morning? One (well actually several) place I like is the Litiitz Family Cupboard.
  21. Someone on BMT buy it?
  22. Went thru Breezewood today and drove back to the Post House. I took a coupe pics of the closed facility. BTW, it is behind Flying J truck stop (on top of the hill). On my drive I saw a MH612.
