Oh, that’s the truth. I got 19 more weeks before partial retirement. I can’t wait to have more time on my hands to accomplish all kinds of stuff and.Hi Paul lol bob

Exellant bud most of us spend too much time on the clock…… almost 13 for me today… bob

OK, first Mow yesterday it’s finally not freezing and I can turn on the sprinklers going to fertilize tonight…. Bought new Scott fertilizer winter guard last October was $100 for 40 lb bag but it did a real  nice job lawn is real thick and green  … bob

Must’ve missed something I didn’t see anything unusual. I thought any minute he was going to be diving off a cliff or something.

That thing would look right nice in my yard . Wasn’t someone on here selling one a few weeks ago box truck not sure… bob

I prefer the stock shutter look on the R model but the chrome grill definitely looks good as well… bob

I think my bb  rifle is a daisy. I’m not sure. I wound up getting it for free. Somebody left it behind that moved out of a house that I rented. I’ve been hauling it around ever since I didn’t even know I still had it the other day I was looking for some old pictures and I saw it.

I gave the .22 rifle that my grandfather gave me to my niece. It's a Remington Fieldmaster pump, a very nice rifle. I do have a 700 Remington .30-06  but I thought that would be overkill.

Definitely a time and place for the heavy iron ha ha I’ve got a Winchester 1873, 44-40 and a henry golden boy 44 magnum 

Yes, I don’t recall any updated photos of the tail light assemblies. I love the Cummings badge real nice touch…. Bob

Uhhh  fuel was .97 cents a gallon...  what year was that '89??

That was what I was paying when I sold my last truck as sub hauler U600 around 1990 … bob

One of the last jokes I heard from Maury Amsterdam and rose Marie Rose said I’m surprised at your age you remember to zip up and Murray replied at my age. I’m surprised I remember to zip down. We’re all getting their bud…. Bob

Also starter is very hard to get it on mine. You can’t really get to it from me inside of the cab or the outside thank God I’ll never have to change it again last time I changed it. I was only 38 put a brand new one in there…. Bob

John’s bury homes transportation Cumberland Farms purities, supreme roadway, jasco aluminum Stern can  Company law transport dorn trans nemf highway express those are just a few I remember… bob

Oh by the way, that’s when I was riding with my pop and yes we were also and a U 600 … best years of my life … bob

Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh man. that’s what I’m talking about when I was a young teenager that was thousands of them everywhere you could stand  as a New Haven toll Plaza and see one offset coming at you every 10-15  seconds. The good old days…. Glad you’re keeping them alive.bob

Oh hell, I missed both of you. Happy birthday to you both as well. Sorry about that. I usually don’t even check them anymore since nobody seems to pay any attention to them. I’ve grown to figure out most of us. Don’t want any more of them any way …. Mine is right after Tom’s … bob
