Notice they ALL are wearing pantyhose. Those ladies know how to dress for the "boss". Nothing better than a pair of female legs covered in pantyhose. Just sayin'...

Yes, Shittz is on the corner west of Brunnerville Road.

North of Lititz, PA on Brunnerville Road, about one (1) mile north of Newport Road (on the left as you are driving north). Roger's house and shop sit back off the road about 100 years. Do Google...910 Brunnerville Road; Lititz, PA.

Larry, How much "power" do you need? If you talk to Roger he will likely let you run a power cord from the shop for hookup. Roger is a very nice and accommodating person! However I can't speak for Roger. An issue is if more than a few do the same thing, the circuits get overloaded. Leversole did it one year and mike69mackman has a "favorite pole" he used. Are you brining your race car? If so, perhaps you and Black in Black can have dueling burnouts on Saturday afternoon. See everyone there and travel safe.

You need to park it on "hotel row" next to Tackaberry's coach.

Jim said he has a "button to push" to add more horsepower. Pittsburgh set up the engine and is pushing somewhere around 800. N14 IIRC.

Mike, Sorry about your accident but at least you are okay. Saw an article in Overdrive. Best of luck in whatever you choose.

Planning to be there on Thursday afternoon - 2 1/2 hours from the PA farm. Lots of "stuffit buffits" in the area - so much food and so little time. Advanced forecast is nice for Friday and Saturday. Hope it holds. The last two (2) years it was rainy and attendance was down. If you never been to Gerhart's you need to attend. Friday night is the "Mack Clam Bake". And if you go away hungry it is your own fault. I am staying at my usual spot...Rodeway Inn in Akron, PA. Several food vendors will be on the grounds Saturday. And the Brunnersville Fire Dept ladies bake the BEST pies. Not sure if I will return to the farm on Saturday evening or spend the night (to eat more food) and drive on Sunday morning.

OD - I thought you crossed over to the "other" side and started taking pics of guy butts.

Carl - Truck shows sure are hard on trailer tires! Glad you are safe.

Les, Happy Birthday and many more. Enjoy your day!

Randy - thanks for the heads up. I saw it listed a few weeks ago in the Lancaster Farming paper. I stand by my original offer of $5K. Currently I have my eye on something else.

You guys have it all wrong...there were only two people in the race...bob and the guy in the lime green shirt. And Bob did not post the time between first and second. All kidding aside...congrats on finishing the race.

Thanks Barry!! One down and a few more to go...just sayin'. I still say any personal attacks, political, or religious posts/posters should be banned. This is a "truck forum"!!! Lucky I am not a moderator or my "ban" button would be worn out! Again, just sayin'. Barry - thanks for all you do for this forum!!

Did you drive for Martin's Pastry Shoppe?

At the local PA 4th of July parade, it is suggested NOT to throw candy but to have someone walk along and pass it out. However, the majority (if not all) just pitch the candy out the windows. I have seen kids look at the candy and if it does not meet with their liking, will leave it lay on the street. After the parade there is about a ton of candy squished on the pavement. I personally do not pass out candy (imagine how much you would need to buy) and no one seems to be upset. I do get a lot of "requests" to blow the air horn.

Larry, Us "common folks" would not be allowed to be in the Saturday parade. It is for new and past enshrines, businesses, floats, queens, high school bands, and a few god forsaken rap "noise maker" dance/drill groups. There are usually several restored fire trucks and antique cars in the parade too. I never seen anyone at the Saturday parade with candy or other handouts. I bet if one tried, they would be arrested and ushered out of the parade. And I do not know how the Jeep club is able to get into the formal Saturday parade. I look forward to several "climbing" another Jeep's tires...so exciting...yawn!!! This year included the Dallas cheerleaders since Jim Jones was inducted. The cheerleaders were the highlight of the parade. Didn't get any pics but did shoot a video (too large to post here). However the Sunday before is a "pre-festival" or "kickoff" parade that almost anyone can get in. I never been to that one.

Saw this on Saturday in the ProFootball Hall of Fame parade.

YouTube has some informational videos

Mike, Happy Birthday and many more. Enjoy your day!

Bringing this to the top. It is not too late to attend this show. On site registration is only $12 for one or more vehicles (includes one dash plaque). Drive or haul it, looking for trucks, pickups, fire apparatus, construction, and farm tractors. All brands are welcome! The MVFD will be providing entertainment Friday and Saturday evenings (6p-9p).

Mike, I don't know the final prices or if they were bought by an on-site or internet bidder. However, if the trucks were in similar condition as most of the vehicles auctioned on Saturday, in my opinion nothing was a bargain. Nothing in the listing about condition, running, rust, drivetrain, completeness, etc. But as they say "one man's junk is another man's treasure."

Was at Norwalk auction today. Lots of interesting vehicles but nothing to "write home" about. The trucks will be auctioned on Sunday. Lot 492R - B61T is currently at $1100 Lot 493R - B61LT is currently at $2100

MH looks great!
