  1. This is the only time men are truly happy
  2. The first time I heard of a vegan was on a date with a girl about 25 years ago and she told me she was a "Vegan". I thought she was into Star Trek
  3. As a student at Stanford University, Kesey volunteered to participate in a CIA-financed study of the effects of psychoactive drugs, an experience that inspired him to write the 1962 classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. In 1964, Kesey embarked on an LSD, amphetamine and marijuana-fueled trip from the West Coast to New York City with a group of men and women who called themselves “The Merry Band of Pranksters,” traveling together in a school bus covered in Day-Glo paint. On this road trip, Kesey intended to abandon writing and create a film using the footage they shot collectively. Returning to California, Kesey and the Pranksters continued to shoot film on Kesey's ranch in La Honda and at weekly parties known as “Acid Tests,” which involved live music by The Warlocks (later known as The Grateful Dead), strobe lights, fluorescent paint and LSD.
  4. I bought trailers in WV years ago. The DMV people were really nice and I got permeant registrations for the trailers for 46 bucks. They had a lot of forms there for all kinds of stuff, like homebuilt, missing title, etc.. I couldn't believe that they registered all those trailers for me and never checked my ID. And they took cash
  5. before 2020 that box was $4.64
  6. People were gathered around the egg section taking pictures, Last year the box said "SMALL". Same box, same eggs, but now they are large
  7. Maine used to be good, bill of sale and registration fee. I'm not sure now
  8. We had a party line at our summer home in the 60's and 70's. I can't remember what our ring was, but I do remember having to wait while a neighbor finished their call. And being on the phone and having them pick up and end up joining the conversation for a few minutes
  9. Funny I can remember exactly where that alternator sat on the shelf 40 years ago. Old shop didn't fare so well though. The part in the back had a manual overhead bridge crane in it. everything moved by pulling chains, it was handy
  10. I can't remember exactly what I saw those on back in the day, but it seemed like the really old crusty stuff way in the back of the yard with trees growing through the frame rails. And I had one in the parts room covered in dust complete with the selenium rectifier on a shelf in the back with a disk type Cummins pump next to it
  11. John Griffin the Brockway guy from Masher street in Philly ran heavy wreckers. He was doing towing for UPS back in the day (50's 60's) and he had to tarp every truck that was in a wreck so you couldn't identify it as a UPS truck
  12. Wow 91years old. I just looked it up
  13. An L cab and a V8. That's a combo I've never seen before. Nice truck
  14. I do that for when oil coolers go bad, seems to work the best. I never tried cascade though. The liquid dish soap will also turn diesel or gasoline into a thick jell. Good for homemade napalm. I've seen it used for sabotaging the competition too
  15. That damn Ginger gave me bad thoughts as a 6 year old. I had no idea what it made me want to do, but I knew I wanted to do something. I didn't tell anyone for fear of getting put in the crazy house in a straight jacket or something. Little did I know the grown ups were thinking the same thing lmao
  16. It really doesn't look that bad. Personally for a work truck, I'd just straighten it out as best as you can and use bondo. Nobody will notice it. unless they take a magnet to it or something
  17. Never used a torque wrench on one in my life. Be sure to us properly fitting body-bond bolts. And if you do decide to use a torque wrench, it's only going to be accurate if the torque wrench is on the nut.
  18. I had that problem here in Pa in the 80's. I had a rail trailer from some far away state I think it might have been Arkansas and the registration document was kind of unusual looking but it had PERMANANT stamped on it in big letters. Actually it was the first time I had seen a permanent trailer tag so I examined the documentation really closely. And go figure I got pulled into a DOT check. And they were insisting it was all wrong. It was a damn railroad owned brand new dry van. It seemed like they were reading it wrong. They were going to cite me, but then an older officer came over and looked at it and decided it was OK. I don't understand why they just didn't run it
  19. I'm never a fan of putting faster ratios in. It never seems to save the amount of fuel everyone thinks it's going to. What do you use the truck for? What engine and transmission? Tire size?
