Old mother nature can be very fickle 39° C (102°f) today, out running hay about, no aircon in Mrs Mack, but I was still smiling Paul

At the start of the week it was hot and had a massive fire, by the end of the week its cold with a chance of snow. I don't really like either option. Something like 230,000 acres burned but thankfully we didn't loose much of importance. Some neighbors lost a good amount of cattle unfortunately.

Check with John Chalmers. You never know what he might have.

Here is another picture. It answers some of everyone’s questions. It may be a trailer suspension. If so, how to identify it? It has 4” wide springs and looks like Mack axles to me. It does have bronze bushings for the spindles.

Seems everywhere I go now especially clinics the crew all look like babies to me and none of them look old enough to drive

How about when a young guy refers to you as an " old guy " and not doing being a wise ass. 🤔 Never saw it coming.

Seems like George C Scott was driving like some sort of a Brigadaire or a GMC 9500 at the end of the movie I think he was going crazy or losing his mind. Seems like he had a bloody nose. I don’t remember it was too long ago.

And yes I did like it

I saw that when it was brand new in the theaters …. I don’t even remember a B model…. But that was a long long time ago

I know it’s a long shot but would anyone happen to have a NOS or slightly used white steering wheel to fit a 1974 RS-700 thanks

I would have, but I don't think lottery tickets had been invented yet 🤣 I went to the eye doctor in Lynchburg this morning and I was sitting there thinking "sure is a lot of old folks in here".

Shoulda bought a lottery ticket too.

Speaking of finding things, way back in the early 80's I had delivered somewhere in North Carolina and called headquarters. They didn't have anything for me to pick up so the boss man said to come on to the shop. Then he said "if you don't mind, and I know it's a long shot, but a driver stopped at the little BP station on 29 north of Greensboro yesterday and he thinks he might have dropped his keys, he can't find them anywhere. Maybe somebody found them and turned them in to the fuel desk or something". That little BP station was exactly where the Sheetz is now, at the time there was just a tiny little dirt parking lot and a spot around back to park, so you could park maybe 4 trucks in there total. So I stopped, thinking I'd never find any keys, but I could get a drink and a honey bun and head on to the house. I pulled in and parked, got out of the truck and didn't take 2 steps and there they were, laying on the ground.

Not to worry, sooner or later you will find someone with more money than brains to buy that rare antique collector "big green international truck that now runs" 😁

I had something sorta similar. 6 years ago I lost a special key ring with the key for the 2004 f350 on it. Looked all over the house, in the truck, and yard with a .metal detector. Nothing. Christmas eve, I sat at the computer desk and there was the key ring with 04 key sitting mext to the computer mouse....three years fter selling the truck. But I DID get my late father's key ring back.

I don’t know what the specific question asked of him was but I think it had something to do with immigration policy. To which he replied: “There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S. I'm representing my friends and family back home, the people that represented it before me, all the things that I believe are good about the U.S. I just think if it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it." I don’t see how that could mean he has no desire to represent the US in the Olympics. If someone loves their country probably one of the most patriotic things one could do is question and speak out about their government. Especially when it’s corrupt to the core and has not served its citizens in any meaningful way in decades. Hess went on to say after being called a real loser: "I’m not going to let controversy like that get in my way. I love the United States of America. I cannot say that enough. My original statement, I felt like I said that, but apparently, people didn’t take it that way. I’m so happy to be here, so happy to represent Team USA." it’s hard to believe the POTUS would publicly call one of the US’ Olympians a real loser for the whole world to see but honestly nothing surprises me anymore.
