I was headed to some place one time, don't remember where or when. I was still driving the Peterbilt though, and I was going west on I-74 to get there. I called Rob and he rode out from Farmington to the TA truckstop in Peoria on his motorcycle and we talked for a bit. He looked the truck over then we went inside and had a coffee, or iced tea or something. That was the only time I met him. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Tim and I speak most weeks, he is doing well and living the dream as best as I can make out Yes he is back in the State's, Connecticut or Vermont, not exactly sure were as my geography of that part of the US is a little hazey to say the least He is like the rest of us, very busy with life Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 With the pictures Tim posted lately I figured he was still in NZ or the like. Pretty landscape and farming. Guess not? Tom, Rob bought that bike here by me. I went and looked at it for him. Then he did his typical midnight run to me and picked it up. I drove the trusty rusty Dodge to my house and he rode the bike. Once at my place he loaded it in the back of the dodge and off he went Another time he bought some big antique floor jack by me. I brought it home and he made a run over to get it. Another trip was for 12v71 Detroit parts from a buddy of mine. An old friend of mine that was on here(greg ryder) with the old A model fire truck flatbed came over and we made an evening out of collecting parts. Greg passed away suddenly a few years back. I never knew until I saw Adelmans had his truck for sale. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Freightrain Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I met him in jr high. He went to different high school, then he joined the marines and didn't keep track of him until I saw him here. We chatted a few times through the years and I would run into him at the Dover steam show in Aug. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Freightrain Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Ya, Greg is still running that old MH. Met up at Harrisonburg, VA convention. Saw him after you saw me over the fence Brocky! He was parked down the aisle from me, towards the campgrounds. Ya, he gave up on the old Mack powerplant after it failed the second time. It's now a CattyMack.....LOL.

It's now a CattyMack.....LOL. The transmission was the latest thing to give out on it. I told him he should try to find an 18 speed to put in it, but he was way ahead of me, he was already in the process. He sent us a wedding gift too- He sent some other stuff too, but this caught my attention more. He asked Zina for our address and she wouldn't tell him, saying "you don't have to send us anything". So he asked me, so he could "send a Christmas card" he said. So I sent it to him, not knowing he had already asked her- until he told me. He said "she wouldn't tell me, but I knew you would be just dumb enough to do it". I've seen Vinnie at Macungie a couple of times, last time he bought a fuel tank at the flea market there. I don't remember if that was last year or the year before last now. He has definitely grown up! Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mowerman Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Skippy Mack I don’t think she comes here unless she has something to talk about her truck and yes her and her family are very busy most of the time according to what she says … umodelnut… clearly we lost him to the split tail … Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67RModel Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 I hate to resurrect this oldish thread again. I spent entirely too much time this week on BMT and here its midnight on Saturday and I'm still on it lol. Anyway, I spent a lot of time reading old threads and looking back through the photo albums. What I realized is this place used to be super rowdy and aggressive. I mean there are a lot of threads that are down right nasty and hateful. This was in the 2017 - 2019 timeframe. I have never experienced anything like those threads in my time here. I came in about when all that seemed to be ending in early 2020. I was thinking maybe that hostility drove a lot of guys away. Or if they were not directly involved in the conversations just said screw it and decided to log on anymore and read a bunch of negativity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted January 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2023 Yep, that about sums it up It used to be really busy with all good jokes and laughter and heaps of people talking about trucks, new and old stories But then some jokers thought they we're more important than the rest and forum revolved around them and the rot set in I have seen it happen on another forum many years ago and that forum like this one has never returned to it's former glory Sadly a lot of good people are lost when this happens, as I think they no longer want to be associated with such rubbish It is left to a few desperados like pick up the pieces and carry on as best as we can This is a lesson for all of us, we, as in all forum members (new amd old) are responsible for the forum and we all need to do our bit to keep it going and try our best to stop the rot from ever setting in Paul 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
