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.

Oh wow what a small world. I actually live off applegrove close to middle branch so I'm pretty much in North Canton

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

I saw Ken and Mike and asked where the pole was? It had been taken done for safety during transportation.

Probably has mud on it now.....

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.

Thanks, Canton

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

Ken, you should have stayed longer at the show, you could have driven back today and kept everything nice and clean. It never did rain at the park until after 11pm. I am glad you had a good time. I'll see you at the next one.

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).

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.

I must say that under Doug's expert tutelege, I may be able to assist with the ass-ets...and, as I am all about authenticity, I WILL NOT have anything on under my Kilt!

TMI!!!!

Helping Mike bring trucks up tomorrow, then heading back down.

Linda and I are bringing "Big Blue" up on Friday morning.

Would've loved to be there but just can't do it all.

Ron

Big Blue? You have another truck? Or did it finally "grow up"?

I am headed out the door within 30 minutes. Everyone have a safe trip and be careful out there!!

Doug,

This sounds serious. I think you need alot of help so I will volunteer to assist with the review of the assets.

P.S. Is this meeting approved by Captain Barry?

Bring her along! The more the merrier. I have reservations under "Doug" at 7:00. Maybe she will take a liking to one of our BMT crew.

Randy wants to keep his "clean law abiding nephew" image.

Everything is looking good. The field is lined, the ground is solid and the trucks are lined up. It is looking to be a great show.

Famous last words...

GENTLEMEN, AND DOUG MANEY: I will not be able to make it to ogle at the boobs support the nuns in training on Thursday night. My Aunt, who I have not seen in 2+ years will be in town, and I will more than likely not see her again for another 2 years, unfortunately Thursday night is the only night I could make it happen. Please squeeze a butt say hello to the ladies for me. Tell them "Uncle Yardo" sends his love.

Randy, sorry to hear you will not make the annual pilgramage to the Nunnery. It will be a tough job butt we can "handle" them it.

Did you check/replace the fuel filter? Check for restriction or plugged fuel supply line?

OH regs state the vehicle cannot be used for general transportation. Use only to attend shows, parades, and similar functions. Does PA have this stipulation?

Good deal but you know the rule...pics or it didn't happen.

I like the AC...looks like an early D17.

SUCCESS!! This morning I purchased a new Remy 24SI from Watt and installed it this afternoon. I also installed a new A/C belt but not alternator belts. The new belts were not long enough (although correct belts per parts book P642). So I reintalled the old belts (P652). I crossed my fingers and eyes and started the MH. Then with baited breath I turned on the A/C and NO SQUEALING!!! Did some snap accelerations and WONDEROUS!!

Only issure, I could not get the A/C compressor jack bolts installed so I used a pry bar and "snugged" the belt and tightened the anchor bolts. The new belt may stretch after some running.

FYI, the 24SI has dual internal cooling fans versus one external fan on the 22SI.

So if the Lord is willing and the creeks don't rise, I will be on my way to Mudcungie Thursday morning.

Right now I am happier than a pig in shit mud.

P.S. Barry - kudos to Terry for recommending the 24SI (and it was cheaper than a 22SI which was not in stock). Also, shop installed the pulley!

I requested a spot on the asphalt. Otherwise I may be sitting at the Hawthorne Suites with my own show.

Likely less expensive to buy a rebuilt one from TSC, Valu-Bilt, or All States Tractor Parts.

Bob?

I sent you an email (2 times) via Yahooy several weeks ago with prints for the seat brackets and seat information. I never heard from you.
