Jobyna said "I've got a taste for some ham-cook me a ham on the grill!". I said "effff you,I got a picnic shoulder,but it's frozen solid-won't thaw 'til Tuesday or Wednesday...besides,I gotta go to Sandusky tomorrow so I ain't doing s**t today". So, after I picked the green beans,pulled some beets,onions, and carrots,cut a head of cabbage,chopped some grass out of the garden,and mowed the grass we went to Wal-Mart and I bought a half ham.

Cooked it on the grill.

Yeah, uh huh, put some ice on that eye and it will take the swelling down,,heh heh,,senator randy

Hi All,

I just bought a '64 b model mack that has(4) six volt batteries on it wired positive ground. Can I replace the (4) six volt with (2) 12 volt batteries wired positive ground? My second question is what does it take to transform the truck from positive ground to negative ground?

Thank you in advanced for your help

Trenton

Hi Trenton, I dont know bout all involved in changing ground polarity, there are some on here who when they read this will clue u in, but I asked the question one time bout 4 batteries verses 2, and was advised I may have less cranking amps with just the 2, so I stayed with 4 on a 86 R688ST, 2 on each side. I hope you get a more expert opinion on it, I do know, stay on top of batteries and keep terminals clean and tight and will have less trouble with them. Prof. Rob gave an excellent dissertation on this subject a while back, so check the archives. Every now and then, Rob seems to be of some use on here. space cadet randy

mine turns green when I put the little pointy thing on it.

Hee Hee other dog,,,if i overwork my lil pointy thing, it gets real red and kinda sore,,,Bro. Randy

I've seen a lot of guys do this with a truck,cut a hole in the back of the bunk,put a window unit in,but NEVER seen anything like this! thats some real "artful" engineering right there!........Mark

Thats right Mark, now some you gurus correct me ifn im offbase here, but isnt there something about a window unit ac that must always be level or the compressor will labor or burn up? I have run lots of different equipment in mines that had roof air, course the compressor was mounted on engine, RVs have roof air, the compressor is mounted inside roof air unit, but I think it has to be level to be efficient. The direction im headed here, LOL, is it seems like I am always bout to slide out the front window or fall through back glass, or standing on my head on excavator, shit, never get to work anywhere flat! One durn way or another, am a gonna have me some cool air in that hot SOB real soon one way or another. Heh,,I even saw an ad online for a box that you fill with ice, (says it takes 20 pounds of ice a day), it has a circulating pump and fan, but good grief it cost over $700.00!!! I get paid to move dirt anyway, not haul ice,,LOL,,,Spec4 Randy

There is this approach.

I think Rowdy Rebel may have tried it in the past so check with him to see how it worked out.

I shouldnt reveal this rhasler, but i did remotely consider the generator, window unit deal. When I worked in the coal mines, we actually had one shovel equipped that way,,,Corp. Randy

Rowdy Rebel said to put your little pointy arrow thing at the end of what part you want to copy. The little pointy arrow thing will change to a straight line.Then left click and hold the button down and slide the little pointy arrow thing over what you're copying. It will turn blue.Release the left button on your mouse and right click on it,then when the little window appears left click on "copy".If it doesn't come up in the search box,just left click the search box,then right click on it,then left click "paste" in the little window that appears.

LOL,,,it sounds more like Rowdy may have directed a few "porn" movies in his time. I kinda particular where I put my lil pointy doodad,,,,Sir Randy

Randy, try this link:

That'll get you to the site, then there's lots of stuff you can click on.

heh heh heh,,thanks HK, unlike Marks links, it even turns red when I put my lil mousy doodad over it. LOL, have never in my life seen so many innovative (if thats the word) opportunities for cool air! thanks all,,,Lt. Randy (I cant help it, just love giving myself official titles)

Prof.randy ? i'm right there with you! computer retarded! if it was'nt for my wife i don't know what i'd do! if you want to see this truck go to craigslist,click on north carolina, type in mack B-73 classic complete $5000 and you should be able to see it i musta messed somthin' up ! Mark

Thats quite alright Mark, in the future though, plesse curtail your messing up. This may sound unbelievable but, well, I booboo on occasion. Dr. Randy

Well, I am bout at my limit. I am going to check on putting a roof air unit on excavator this week, just cant take the heat anymore and excavator has glass all around. I slide front window up so I can get good and dirty, lock side door open, open right side window so I can get a good fresh breeze of hot hydraulic hose heat, am at my limit! Gonna bite the bullet and check into one, if it works out right, think I may put one on "Killer B". Dozer doesnt bother me so much, its open ROPS, I can handle that better, I seem to be spending all my time on excavator and truck at this, the hottest months of year here, so you all know of any after market companies or got any ideas, please to be of advisement to me. Oh yeah and also, if you put a link here for me, please make it where it will light up so I can transfer to it, then show Mark how to properly do that, heh,,heh,,hang in there Mark,,LOL,,Randy

Found this one last night,this looks to be a pretty good solid truck, i always liked the "L" cab on a B-model ................MarkB-73[/url

I put my lil mousy pointer arrow thingy over that craigs list link, but the lil writing dilly bobber didnt light up or change colors, now you have really messed my day up, I wanted to look at that truck, your probably gonna mention something silly like, "Well, just paste it", so dont say that cuz, yes, thas right, I DONT KNOW HOW! Its bout all I can do just to turn this dilly on, please in future dont get me all urgy to look at a truck and then mess the lil doodle up,,,yours truly,,,Prof. Randy

Happy belated birthday! so what does 70 feel like?????? LOL!........Mark

LOL,,if i ever get there, turn your hearing aid up and will tell you,,,randyp

Hey randy,right there with you! i always was interested in vintage aircraft (WWII era) i had an opportunity to take a ride in a B-17 when i was a younger man,it was quite an adventure! my maternal grandfather was a right waist gunner on a B-17, flew 26 missions, was shot down twice! tough old bastard! don't know if you know the name, but paul tibbetts has always been one of my heroes (enola gay/ B-29) when i think, or read something about what these flight crews went through,makes me proud to be an american!...........Mark

yeah mark, I have great respect for all our veterans, but those guys who crawled in those bombers and flew over germany and france, now that took some real cojones. Mind you, I mean to take nothing away from our beachlanding veterans, or any of them, they have a special place in my heart. I buy vintage aircraft mags, just always had a big interest in them. You actually got to ride in one! Now that would have to be the thrill of a lifetime! Randy

Anybody ever have a hankering to be a bomber pilot or navigator, drag your google map screen out and see where i will be doing all my sweating for the next couple of weeks,,,33 06'31.24"N 94 43'37.95"W just dont drop anything when you make your run over,,,Randy

Id love to have a Big Mack B with a Allison in it.

I had a 69 chevelle SS with an "Allison" in it when I was a young lad, oh yeah, just thinking bout her makes my toes wiggle! She was bad, and that was good, Randy

"Oh Rob, I think it would be soooo much fun. Like a vacation, but you get paid. Raleigh is an old city so maybe they have some nice little antique shops and cute little cafe's. Nikki can come with us, OH my sister would just love that kind of place. WE can have lunch together then go out to some of those fancy souther BBQ stops and maybe try some real down home cooking they always talk about. do you think we will see black people? Are they still slaves there? May be go on a tour of the fancy southern mansions like "Gone With the Wind" I cant wait to go. What kind of weather do they have there? Will it be hot? rainy? Your in the weather thing, ask some of your friends. Is that near the ocean? maybe a day at the beach. I should get a new bathing suit. ........ "

All this vacation excitement makes me want to get my nails did,,,Randy

Happpy Birthday, but please, PLEASE, whatever you do, don't post any of those picture of yourself running the backhoe in your birthday suit. I don't think any of us would recover after seeing you sweaty, naked, and fly-bitten

heh heh,,I hear ya,,but one of these days (when the deerflies and horseflies slow down a lil bit, I just may do it! will give you ample warning though, thank all for helping make it and enjoyable birthday! Randy

WOW a auto B. Those restorations are amazing. You can eat off the tires on do open heart sugery off the floor.

Thas what im talking bout,,,outstanding! Randy

Alrighty then.

Since you too drive a Mack truck and so do I: From one asshole looking at another; (driver to dog) Happy Birthday!!

Rob

heh,,heh,,thank you. Birthday wishes must come true, while trying to reply to this post, phone rang 3 times, 2 were from dirt jobs that I had won bid on, other was from tinhorn mfg. saying they would add 4 feet to a tinhorn I had already ordered and paid for at no extra charge, things are really looking up today,,wow,,I can always use 4 feet at no charge,,what a great birthday! thanks,,,Randy

Well today is Randy's birthday.

Don't know if we should wish him well, or make fun of him.

Rob

Well, Thank You very much, I wish you would just go ahead and make well fun of me. Randy

I bring another truck home and Momma will ensure I don't see another day.

Rob

Looks like they got a good price on it,,,go for it rob

Those horns would make great powder horns. I got this civil war Confederate Sharp Shooters rifle called a WhitWorth. It was made famous here in Tennessee by only the best of the best shots in Gen. Patrick Cleburnes regiment. Only three were sent to this outfit. I have one of the stories of one man of that outfit. You would not believe the size of the lead bullet.It is 2 inches long, and is a 45 caliber not like the enfields the privates used such as a 69 caliber. Believe it or not I have shot this gun over a picket fence with some renactors laying on the ground in front of the muzzle and could not stand the sharp crack with only 60 grams of powder behind the bullet. It is louder than other calibers. The recoil is just like an artillary piece where it comes straight back, not up in the air.

mike

Well if Clem dont behave you just might have some powderhorns. One thing you dont do, is park anything really cleaned up and shiny around him, if he manages to catch a glimpse of his own reflection, all hell is gonna break loose. Randy

Tom,

I think it's time to make a gravy run to Texas. I mean meat run......I wonder how much room in yours and my freezer that Clem would take up? We would need to go by the Road Kill CAFE so he could get some to add to the Menu.

mike

Clem would definitely be one big bag of jerky, theres been more than a few times I have threatened to string him up too,,,,Randy

Thanks, i'll keep that in mind...hey Clem-how you doin'?

Parked the truck at the south Lynchburg truckstop Friday because I've got to load in Lynchburg in the morning. That saves some time and miles not having to go all the way to Concord to get it, besides that the yard in Concord is so small it's hard to even find somewhere to park on weekends. That's where I usually park it on weekends, at the truckstop. Plenty of room, never a problem finding a parking spot. I even park way down in the corner farthest from the truckstop, out of everybody's way and nobody ever said a word.

Well, dispatcher Neal called me this morning and said somebody called him yesterday from the truckstop and said the truck needed to be moved by this afternoon or it would be towed. He said he forgot to call me yesterday- good thing too, I was cooking a pork loin. Anyway, I said something like "WTF?!! It IS a truckstop, why can't you park a truck there?". He said he didn't know, they just wanted it moved. Maybe they didn't like it being parked there over the weekend because I wasn't spending money there, but I did get fuel there occasionally. Over 200 gallons week before last, and went in the store a lot to get drinks, snacks, and what-not.

I just don't know- When I went up there to get it a little while ago it was down in the corner all by itself-the nearest truck to it was about 50 yards away and there was room to park about 50 more trucks in that truckstop.

I moved it down here behind the store. Didn't go in and ask what the problem was. If they go out of business because I don't buy any more fuel, drinks, or snacks from them-good! They can kiss my a**.

It may be a longer commute for you other dog but you are welcome to park here in the wide open spaces of texas, but i will warn you, "Clem" likes to sharpen his horns on tires or bumpers every now and then,,,Randy
