They can check all they want Bob, when they have only a small idea what they're looking at there's not much chance to get it fixed.  Now if it was some mindless thing on tick tok or something you needed fixed.... you'd be all set. But hey !!!!  they showed up that day 🤣

Man, this is ridiculous latest issue the air shield, rattles, and buzzes almost entire trip both ways. It’s so friggin loud. I have to turn the radio all the way up to drowned out the racket frankly, bud it’s a pile of shit I was talking to A dirt driver couple weeks ago that was driving an auto car. He said his boss was going to all.auto cars from 379 Peterbilt there nothing but junk and you have to wait a long time to get them because of back order. They said that I had had enough and they were just going to all autocars and they’re having very little issues with them.

Tom, I’m sure pretty sure you posted a picture of it a few years ago.  Tom, I’m sure pretty sure you posted a picture of it a few years ago. I think I only rode in. One around 35 years ago going to lunch with another Driver. It’s the only one.Ive even been inside one… bob

Another 80 billian going out and our gasoline dropped a bit and now it’s backed up to five bucks a gallon. Nobody cares.

Oh, I forgot to mention Straight from the dealer first trip down the road. The front end was pulling to the right for chrissake. Isn’t anybody checking this shit??? Bob

Well, I don’t know where they’re building our new Kenworth and Peterbilt but both makes our junk last go around. I drive a brand new Peterbilt and there is always something wrong with it. The Kenworth are even worse. They’re in the shop all the time for warranty work my Peterbilt is only eight months old and it’s already been at the dealer twice for air conditioning issues now there’s something wrong with the steering box .and the fifth wheel slider doesn’t operate properly release the jaws then I have to bang the ram back in with a hammer. bob

Trans stars there’s another lost art,,,,those things used to be everywhere a few years ago Trans stars there’s another large start those things used to be everywhere few years ago that’s one model I’ve never driven. I have driven a couple of eagles and a couple international. Conventional never a Trans star…. Bob

I’m not an authority on those. I can’t say but there’s lots of used parts. You might wind up buying a used pump somewhere could take some searching but as I said, there’s lots of those engines around especially with fire apparatus good luck… bob

Also looking at Bethlehem, 6/8&9, Brooklyn 6/23. I'm thinking about Macungie, 6/14&15, but I'm going to need a couple of days for that and that's right at the start of my busy season.

Excellent I’ll be there this year. Looking forward to seeing it in person… bob

What is the few of the popping up around here on the job over here freightliners Kenworth ,,mostly local work… saw an Lt ford box truck yesterday and a dump truck both working  bob  

I spent 8 years in cabovers,,, owned 2…yes years ago they were everywhere… I really liked my cruise liner,,, that was my favorite work truck ,,,, all around really handy work tool …also E6 plenty of power… and yes it also took bumps pretty hard  , rough riding SOB ha ha I did on a U model. 
but it had the 300   4 valve but didn’t pull worth the shit ….. that’s why I said, though the cruise liner had the best memories for working with….can sleep in them,,and plenty of storage… bob

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

I couldn’t open it…and Matt,,,,,nice going ,,,sounds like that truck has a personality like mine … good luck… bob

I also have a bb rifle as well as 2 real ones

Ya ralphy  you’ll shoot your eye out and yes that’s fun to say lol bob
