good points.  I  negotiated a lot of union contracts in my life.  And I always said,the best outcome was when both sides were not happy. Or better yet-neither felt like the "winner".  That meant there was compromise.

That is the way it should be. 

I apologize for the misuse of my words and the butchering of our common language.   This will be the first time since the 60’s  that the president, the House, and the Senate were all held by Democrats.   The Supreme Court is supposed to be nonpartisan.

Republican's controlled the congress and senate in 2016 and they lost it if their own accord.

Before that the dems had control, It's this constant us or them-question can anyone pick out 

the party another person is affiliated with by how they look or dress, really does any of it matter?

A person should have learned by the age of 8 they don't always get what they want, concessions

are a part of life. 

  

Again, I agree.   Last time the Democrats held all three branches was in the 60’s.   I think we all know what happened back then, but then again history is doomed to repeat itself.  

Rumors are not facts   Agreed!   Now that we have one party rule, prove us wrong.

- do not pack the Supreme Court

- do not make Puerto Rico and DC states

- do not defund the police

- do not lock down the Country for a virus with such a high survival rate

This would be a good start  

Dad had a 97’ CH he bought new.  400 and a Mack 13 sp. one of the best damn trucks we ever owned.  When we got rid of it it had 1.5 mil miles and 47000 hrs.  If it was a dog, you would have taken it out back and shot it ,then cried.  

I don’t think we have a mixer with less than 20K hrs on it.   All E7’s.   We try to run them a season, then do rod and main bearings and an oil pump.   Then run the dick off of them.  

Fairly certain the pedestals are the same.   The dealer has the dog, usually $100

I wonder what will happen to my little business When President Harris takes over ? I'm a one man operation, I have a mobile truck repair service. Most of my customers are in construction. I work on a lot of dump trucks... and occasionally some heavy equipment. Jojo

Good luck! We are in the same 

boat.   Trucking and ReadyMix over here.

for now. but mccarthey is up against her for the spot. 

You are correct.   I highly doubt they will get rid of Pelosi. 

Speaker of the house is Nancy Pelosi 

Don’t see these everyday. 

Available from Mack.  It’s a paintable plastic, which is nice because it will not rot out again. 

Here’s to ending 2020 and to better 2021!

I assumed the top one. 

They are available from Mack

Can’t help you with this.   I always liked the look of the plastic bumpers, but as soon as they got dinged, we swapped out to the stainless.

Isn't the left side cowl different and the hood longer on an RD

Yes, the cowl is like a super liner and on the right side there is an indentation where the breather goes.

I'm not sure what forum YOU are on but that statement ( and most of the other statements I've read own this thread) sound good but do not reflect my experience here. I was a contributing member for 2 weeks in October and in that time I made 52 posts, every single one truck related and every single one respectful and one of the responses I got was "Sounds like a lot of talk but maybe that is all you are wanting. If pulling a head is to expensive and so on a Mack is not going to be an inexpensive toy. Stick with a small block Chevy maybe in a 70's car so parts are cheap and the vehicle is EZ to work on. I commented earlier in this post to help but did not think that it would be tuning into a snivel feast. So replace a piston & liner or two and get the old dog running instead of taking 2 weeks to talk about what you don't want to do. No one said a Mack was cheap so buck-up or shut-up. We are here for advise but you have to do something with it or it is a big waste of time for everyone." I don't know about the rest of you but when I was taught manners it did NOT include talking to people like that so I deleted all my posts and quit participating. The reason was NOT because of that one post. This kinds of people are everywhere. The reason  I left was because i n just a couple hours, that post received 3 "likes" so it was NOT just one person being a douch nozzle but was something of a member consensus. Then, Admin replies basically defending that post with "we are a straight shooting bunch that can be a bit rough around the edges". This forum has an "ignore" feature and if someone does't like my posts they were free to use the feature but to choose, rather, to make that post was only to serve ONE purpose IMO and that was to tell me that I was NOT welcome here and to go away so i did. For the record, I have no idea what those that this thread is about did to get banned. It must have happened before i came here. I am not a fan of banning people but am on a couple forums where people have been banned and for good reason IMO. I CERTAINLY don't think that the person that made the quoted post should be banned. Anyways, the hypocrisy of this thread was so compelling that I thought I would point it out. If I get banned for this post, so be it. I still have no intention of sharing any of my family trucking pictures (been in the trucking business since 1929) or sharing my journey with my B-61 project. The only reason i stay logged in is because I have been sharing my project through PM's with one member that is respectful and interested ( and another member that was looking for parts). Cheers and a Merry Christmas to all.  

Your life, stories, and family are the things I love to read about here. Third generation truck family over here.   Hope you come back in your own due time.  

Spotted these SuperLiners down in the Heights!

I’m going to guess that landfill was off of Cottage Grove north of Sauk Trail. 
there was a landfill northwest of our yard at one time also. Ford Heights is a shit hole

The Sid Kamp Titan coming into the Heights!

You are 2-3 blocks north of us
