A friend sent me this information... Hello 2015 taxpayers here are more new punishments for working and investing in this country As a brief reminder for those who forgot or for many that didn't know. Here is what happened, quietly, on January 1, 2015: Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35% Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6% PUNISH THE WORKERS....TO REWARD THE NON WORKERS Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2% MORE PUNISHMENT FOR WORKING HARD! Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28% MORE TAX UPON INCOME THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN TAXED! Dividend tax went from 15% to 39.6% MORE PUNISHMENT FOR INVESTING WISELY AND MAKING GOOD DECISIONS! Estate tax went from 0% to 55% PUNISHMENT FOR SAVING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION! ONLY TO HAVE IT GO TO THE GOVERNMENT! A 3.5% Real Estate transaction tax was added. MORE PUNISHMENT FOR INVESTING IN A HOME OR RENTAL PROPERTY! Remember this fact: These taxes were all passed solely with Democrat votes, Not a single Republican voted for these new taxes. These taxes were all passed in the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. If you think that it is important that everyone in the U.S. should know this, the many millions who don't yet, then pass it on.

MH parts book calls them a "plug". The MH plugs are plain without the word MACK.

Happy Birthday JT and others. Enjoy your day.

I guess no one "likes" the same picture posted previously (with most of the people identified) in the Macungie Show thread. I am done...

Barry, Thanks for the reminder. Yes only one (1) month until the show in Martinsburg, PA (~18 miles south and east of Altoona). Last year was the first year it was held at the MCMP and was a great success. Looking for a repeat this year. Hope to see you there.

Sorry you got "left" out!

If the Lord is willing and the creeks don't rise, I will be there...mud or no mud.

Most (if not all) the stacked trucks I see are Dodge Cummins. Cummins 6cyl is the "fart in a can" of pickups. Perhaps Ford Powerstroke and GM Duramax owners have more brains and common sense? Nothing beats the sound of a V8 Diesel.

Since no one posted a BMT nooner pic, here is one that Tom's wife Debbie took. Thanks Tom!

Someone said "the downfall of a nation is when the younger generation is less educated then the previous generation." Need I say more?

You guys are "dismissed" this time but remember, miss a few more and you will be assigned cleanup duty in the BMT VIP Lounge. The "BMT Nooner" and functions like DCR's and MADDOG93's "dessert bar" are an excellent place/time to meet friends and make new friends. A great opportunity to put a face to a BMT member. BTW, I wore a "prototype" BMT nametag designed by Barry. I am sure you will hear/see more about this nametag at a later date.

Backing a four wheel wagon is opposite of a two wheel trailer. It does take some practice.

In addition to Brocky, MIA were Doug, Dave Igou, and likely a few others. We been doing the "BMT nooner" for several years so everyone should know.....Saturday 12N at Watt's tent. And if you have problems telling time, both the big and little hands are on 12.

You are close to Freightrain. He lives off Cleveland Ave. just north of Mt. Pleasant.

So that was you that asked about the pole. Pole was stored for transportation. If I knew you were going to stop by I would have left it up and NIT Emily could have given you a quickie.

I see the tour guide has "ink" on her arms. Yuck! But I do like the Mack.

Howdy neighbor. I live in Jackson Township and Freightrain Larry lives in North Canton.

Doug, Hind sight is 20/20. I figure I saved $35 - ~$100 for the hotel room but will cost me $65 to have the mud wash off. Mud on my truck, bent deck plate (corner of trailer bent it backing down off the knoll), and the frustration....mmm priceless! NOT a good evening for the farmer! BTW, I moved the MH and trailer this morning and are parked in their usual spot beside the barn. Also, rolled the yard weed patch to flatten most of the ruts. P.S. Attend the Keystone Chapter show in July (25&26) and visit with Dad, cousin Chris, and the rest of the gang. There is no Nunnery in the area and Hooters is closed (now a mattress store).

Made it home safely from Macungie on Saturday evening. Enjoyed the show and talking with other BMT members and friends. I was able to avoid the "mud" at Macungie but not at the farm. It started raining about two (2) hours before home and was still raining when I arrived. Below are some pics (taken this morning) of how far I made it (after second try). Needless to say I am NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!! Looks like another trip to Blue Beacon. P.S. A BIG thanks to those who stopped by and purchased parts! Only a few small things left and they will be added to a friend's "Mack parts collection/warehouse".

Welcome...what part of OH?

Lordy lordy look who is 60! You are now officially an "old fart." Welcome to the club. Happy Birthday Ron and many more! Enjoy your day. P.S. Don't forget to start taking Geritol.
