The picture was hanging in Allentown. Not sure where the picture was taken. I was thinking WHQ but there are no windows in the building. Perhaps the picture was taken in Hayward. Either way, nice looking dogs!

Make that another cranky old fart....I agree, not a fan of big bumpers (big natural hooters are okay), big visors, bull stacks, extra lights, extra horns, and fancy chrome. But I do like the banana yellow color.

David, What do you mean "parallel"? And how does one tie down various sized vehicles/items?

Don't you just love it. Someone has something to sell but no details, pics, price, contact info, etc. What a waste of time on everyone's part. Hmmm, make offer....$1?

I am not a fan of WIN8.1. It came on my newest computer. As for the cloud....bunch of horse $hit. If I want something to do with clouds I will buy an airplane. Most software is going to cloud based. Another "control" issue that I am avoiding along with electronic checking/banking and other "online" crap. I am thinking of just stuffing my money under the (secret). The computer at the farm uses WIN 7PRO and IE9 but having issues with them lately. I think MS is trying to obsolete any old versions of WIN and IE and control your computer. I am not a fan of Chrome or others but maybe it is time to switch. On a side note...if anyone remembers the anti-Christ...I think the computer is the anti-Christ. Back to the computer issue...did you get a virus? Did you try connecting your camera/card to another computer? I just plug in my card reader and copy/paste the files into a folder. Never use any "viewing" software. Perhaps you need to do a "clean wipe" of your hard drive and reload the software. Or just buy a cheap computer (what I am going to do next time). I started keeping all my files on portable hard drives and keep only the software on the computer. That way I can move from computer to computer and still have all my files. And if all else fails....did you reboot your computer? Good luck!

Always nice to meet up with other BMT members. Hope you enjoyed your visit to PA and come back again. Next time, bring heat and take snow with you. BTW, as for Macungie...."we will leave the light on"

Is it a SD or Compact Flash card? Either way, I connect my card to the computer and copy the files directly to a folder on the computer. I use Windows Photo Viewer to view the files and Photo POS Pro to modify the images.

Just a reminder....Macungie is the same weekend as Ashland.

Not disagreeing but lighten up. I only posted this to show the wages in 1960.

Nice truck but Hank is going to be cranked.

You guys are poets and don't know it.

What type of memory card does your camera use?

Que the video clip.... Picture taken in front of WHQ? Nice looking color scheme. Anyone know the fleet?

Yes E.F.Smith is still in business today. It is a small trucking company (less than 25 power units). Not to be confused with Smith Transport. http://www.truckdriver.com/trucking-company-directory/ShowDOTCo.cfm?CENSUS_NUM=84839

This was in the local newpaper recently. Note the driver's pay.

Great minds think alike. I am leaning toward the e-track but the L-track looks interesting too. http://www.uscargocontrol.com/Ratchet-Straps-Tie-Downs/Black-Painted-L-Track/Anchor-Point-Tie-Down-Kit-8pc-w-2-Track

Welcome to BMT

I tried to post an update to an old topic but was unable to do so. Here is the original link starting with page 8. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/31022-great-dane-pup-trailer/page-8 I am getting ready to "pull the trigger" on a tie down system for my Great Dane trailer. Since I am getting a goof cart I need to strap it down somehow or just let it bounce around in the trailer. I reread all the suggestions and thanks to everyone for your comments. I am shying away from vertical e-tracks for the simple reason I want to anchor low. With that said, i am thinking to mount horizontal e-tracks (or maybe L-tracks) at the bottom of the side boards rather than the floor. Also mount an 8' track across the front at the drop. I am not ruling out vertical tracks for miscellaneous securement. Comments and/or suggestions? Thanks! Mark - US Cargo Control appears to have the best selection and prices. However I am going to wait until MATS and see if anyone has any deals.

A good friend of mine once told me "we only have so many heartbeats, the problem is we don't know how many." We can't get out alive but dang, at least wait till we are 100 or so. Again, condolences to his family!

High idle also produces some boost to provide positive pressure in the combustion chamber. This prevents excess fuel buildup in the crankcase (rings not sealing), not sucking oil down the intake valve stems, and also not blowing fuel/oil out the exhaust (slobber).

I need applogize and make a correction...Bea was the original voice of Betty Rubble...not Wilma Flintstone.

No $hit!

Dang! ONLY 36!!!

Easy to say when it sits in a garage during the winter.

Hmmm....bunches of snow or -10 deg F? Decisions, decisions..... The mistake on the lake (Cleveland) set a record low -12. Wifey and I are going to Tucson next Thursday...can't wait.
