  1. I have a very good friend that is a Nuc. Eng. I was seriously considering a very large investment in solar panels on our farm buildings. So very very very much work has to be done in order for wind and solar to make much of a difference. Google the Duck Curve.....
  2. Never in my life did I think that the "Liner" in Super-Liner could be mistakenly thought of as lifted from the "Liner" in Freight shaker, er, I mean Freightliner.
  3. They're kind of a hybrid between the H and the Cruiseliner.
  4. Is he the guy who has the V8 rotating assembly avatar? I read several of his very helpful posts before I signed up only to find out he was no longer on here (that I know of).
  5. I kinda figured that was the alternative spelling until 'inter' coolers became ubiquitous on diesel engines. An individual who studies the english lexicon might have a something to say about it. . ? Which raises a trivia question. If someone asked me who produced the first air cooled intercooler, I'd have to say Mack, right? The 285-300 Maxidyne? Maybe in Europe they used them earlier? Cat and Cummins were using water jacket coolers in the '60's. ... And the E9 was the first chassis mounted air to air... anyone know of an earlier one????
  6. Article refers to it as an "inner cooler". ... ..
  7. Never thought a trailer could look so cool.
  8. This guy: http://fox5sandiego.com/2016/01/19/man-who-sent-porn-to-girl-from-dance-moms-sentenced/
  9. Did you guys see Phoenix Sundown endorse her?
  10. Does that have an integral sleeper???
  11. $37/lb.?! is that right?
  12. I'd buy a jar of Vegemite if it was available.... pay top dollar too.
  13. Here in Western PA its referred to as "punhoss"... don't know why, but when you say scrapple, its the same thing.
  14. With those loud colors, and that fifth wheel, I too immediately though of a carnival ride. {Now I know I'm not crazy... or am I?}
  15. It looks suspicious.
  16. Amanda Gailey. . . a real classy broad. lol
  17. I think that one was on Truckpaper not too long ago...
  18. http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/hvd/5361571210.html
  19. You left out accepting his Nobel Peace Prize. An award for "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people". No one talks about that one anymore.
  20. I watched the 'pundits' afterward... they all talk about Washington disfunction, "He had to work with a fundamentally broken Congress", the climate of D.C. is just terrible, Americans hate government incompetence. Its a story we've heard every since Joe Christmas hit The White House. The not-so-subtle commentary from the Left is racist Republicans are behind all his failings. They HATE him. I am not in a position to deny that they HATE him, but his half-blackness is not the issue, and six years on, I am continually amazed at why those same pundits refuse to acknowledge the REAL reason he has run into obstacles since the Republicans have regained control of Congress. . . IT IS THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT!!!! He consciously chose to ram that shit down everyone's throat. THAT should be the starting point for every conversation concerning the current climate in D.C. Hate breeds hate, and the elite Left's supposed mandate to make-over the USA by gaining control of everything in 2008 started the 'hate-ball' rolling. To me that is obvious. . . but I'm just a dumb farmer.
  21. I think that day has arrived in certain neighborhoods in Chicago. . . others too I'm sure. Isn't that at least part of the Black Lives Matter movement? High unemployment, broken families, and a general lack of "agency"... together they create a society that produces crime and subsequent gun violence. People in those neighborhoods are arming themselves daily. They are also using said arms to murder and maim daily too. Now I wouldn't contend that these armed groups of people in these neighborhoods (aka gangs) would consider themselves a "militia'; determined to preserve the rights of law-abiding property owning citizens, but the impetus is almost certainly the same: To protect what they think is theirs from a hostile take over. The Militia-minded folks legitimize their weapons through tradition dating back to the nations founding, along with a genuine fear of 'what-if?'. The gangs of Chicago legitimize their weapons on nothing less than real honest-to-goodness survival. The idea of what makes America great long ago vanished for them.....
  22. 55 mph speed limit... it really was slower.
  23. I know one thing for sure, that Matlack bottle is still working. They've been dragging them out of the weeds for the last ten years... and charging "like new" prices for them. http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=6401145
  24. The picture is of a tw-35.... but I think the set up was used on the tw-25, 30, and 35 as well as the newer 8730's and 8830's.
