Paul Thanks ;; basically it's just a number .a person is only as old as they feel. for me with 50 plus yrs of pushing wrenches and starting at 17 ;; i feel 139yrs old .!!!LOL; yet today for the FIRST time ever I took apart a Mack transfer pump to discover what's inside. have changed a few ''never examined the internals. I'm closely closing in on 75. knowing now I'm NOT the oldest on here. come on you brave folks == who's got us beat for age and knowledge. all for fun.

navypoppop Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Mech, I am of course going to be 77 on 06/22. By the way I really like your AAA Mack! My step father drove for them back in the 60s from the Trenton, NJ terminal and used to run local to the Ft. Dix/Maguire AFB area.

mrsmackpaul Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I was working with a crew maybe 6 or 7 years ago on construction Anyway a big crew, 130 electricians and the older blokes were still running rings around the young blokes Was stinking hot 115°f plus during the day so it was all night shift, still over 100°f at 3 in the morning Younger blokes were dropping like flies, who would of thought that "Red Bull" and the like doesn't work as well as water Old blokes are to tight and to smart to drink energy drinks Anyway Doecke's, once of the sparkies came up to me and said "your one of team, Team Sun Screen" What's Team Sun Screen I asked, yo which I was informed, we are SPF 50 + ha ha ha Old Doecke's popped his clogs not long after, bloody shame, he was a good bloke and funny bugger RIP Doecke's, certainly gave me a lot to laugh about over the years Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75497-celebrations/page/2/#findComment-595823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
