Popular Post teleman Posted September 7, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2015 We drove the Mack to New Alexandria and back hauling my sons power wagon putting about 350 miles on her. We took rt 30 down to East Liverpool then across the river and up the hill to rt 22 . We gave the old triplex a workout that day...Everytime I drive the Mack I am reminded of my dad back in the day,driving his B-61 from Akron to Baltimore three times a week and If he were still here Im sure he would have given me that loving slap to the back of the head when I didnt catch a gear just right....just like he did when we were kids teaching us how to drive...Everyweekend there seemed to be a party where his buddys would come over and help work on dads truck,next weekend we would be helping work on one of their trucks and for us kids the reward was always the same....dad would lets us bobtail down to the deadend turnaround and back...thats why I love the old Mack and enjoy shareing these trips with my son....The show was great,lots of nice trucks,got to meet Barry and a lot good folks and hope to be able to come back..sorry,I think I started to ramble.....Jim 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
