My three sons favorite tv show is Mythbusters. They watch it, then they sneak up to the shop to try and recreate what they just "learned". Oh well, it has to be better than what I did - I used to do the same with that show Jackass.

Were the buckeyes made in Ohio or is their shape why they are called that?

Randy - Go to the Shorpy site, click on the photo of "Shorpy" and it tells his story - makes you glad to live in this century!

This is worth a look. The link does not work, but if you search for Shorpy it comes up - great collection of old photos.

Greetings 72U! Vinny - DId you even sleep at all last night?

I see brown stuff on the floor where the guy was standing!

That scraper has headlights that kind of make it look like it has eyes. I think I saw some tears.

Sounds like a good test - have you been rubbin' on Black Butte for good luck?

Larry - Thanks for the link, I am glad to now know what the heck a Buckeye roto ray is and since you solved if for me, I did not have to ask and have everyone think I am stupid. Oh......wait................

The C for cat letter was stuck on my keyboard so I had to spell it that way...................the last thing I would want to do is mislead anyone about the post content. I thought the cat was real smart at first, waiting for dinner to arrive like that. But then I got to looking and he had a phillips screwdriver to open it up with and it was obviously put together with flathead screws. Stupid cat.

Even Marmalade the yellow kitty has to wait for dinner somtimes:

The blushing bride is calving having a C-section on June 6th so the boys and I had to cancel our hotel reservations to Macungie. But I have a plane ticket I have not used from another deal so I am trying to get permission to fly in for a day. What is the best day if I only get one? Would one of you zipperheads on here pick me up at the nearest airport? (sorry about the zipperhead comment - I watched Gran Torino again last night)

Any photos?

MIke - Thanks for the update - let us know how you get along. I remember a few months ago you started a post that made me laugh. Remembering it, it made me hope that your current doctors are not the "short bus riding wanna be rocket scientists" that were working on your truck seat! Get well soon..........

Ha! That is one of those things you should tell your kids someday when you go by there. My grandfather never had a nice truck, but when we would be hauling hogs in his 1950's IHC and get up to 50mph on a downhill run, he would get a big grin, lean over and yell over the sound of the engine; "now we are really hauling the mail"!

That is pretty funny - I thought the guy was on a forklift that is about to fall off the side. "Hey Dumbass, get off that thing"

I finally got bored enought napping with the kids while the wife is off at the sto' to watch this. This is stupid. Did it even lock up? I bet it just ran out of fuel, and if you let it sit a while, it would take off again. They should be careful with it, remove it from the machine, and sell it to someone that needs it. My dad got upset at me one time for tearing and wadding up a bunch of school papers right before I threw them in the trash, now I know what he was trying to get across.

I always have to send them to my 'puter at home first so I then can post them. But I am sure there is an easier way that this backwards boy does not know.

Damn Mike! You went a long way! I vacationed there last year at a B&B outside Bowling Green and you were a long way from where you started! Now the true test of a successfull Mack chase down is: When you caught him, did you make him promise to get on BMT?

That is what you start to see when you have too much "red bull".

Neat old survivor! I have a buddy I eat with at the diner that has a moving business and I am trying to talk him into buying an old Mack and setting it up like that for advertising and parades. I love those old trucks in their original working clothes.

I have had similar weird things like PTO clamped lines blowing off when the vent on the reservoir is clogged. Have you cleaned/checked it lately?

You don't see palms sprouting out of the engine very often, does that help with the cooling?

Hey! I could really count the cows from way up here! Shoot dem deers, watch neighbor skinny dippin', wonder ifn I can get the blushing bride up here? Mile high club?

Ah! Around here with problem geese, we practice "Breast and release". You slit the front of the goose and pull all the feathers/skin sideways, cut out the biggest part of the meat, close it all back up, and throw the goose up in the air so you give it a fair chance of flying off so someone else can catch it another day. With snow geese, we just shoot them and feed them to the hogs. They are an invasive animal that pull the grass up by the roots and that way they kill the other goose feeding grounds. They are nasty. All the teenage boys like to nail a row of a couple hundered of them to the fence posts along a lonely blacktop highway - scares the crap out of visitors.
