  1. Paul, You are being corrupted by Other Dog, BMT's #1 girl chasing pervert!!!!!
  2. The WHOLE blankety blank Northeast is way over taxed!!!!!!!
  3. The 78 Frtlnr I drove 900K miles with a big cam 1, we always had trouble with cam follower life.
  4. Yes, It is always best to pull into the scales and let them see the antique/historical plates... And yes a lot of the Diesel cops like to look at the older vehicles.. On our way to Des Moines IA The Iowa scale lady (50 y/o +/-) pulled me around back, and basically all she wanted to know was if the Diamond T in my trailer was mine and not for sale, making sure I was NOT commercial.. Do not know if she noticed the farm plates on my 3500?? When I had to get in the trailer to get the DT registration she oohed and aawed about the DT.
  5. Just heard from my S-I-L in Conn.. He had a tree come down on his garage.. NO structural damage, but 5 holes in his roof..
  6. Hippy I saw the severe weather warning on this morning's news.. Have not emailed my daughter in Cheshire Conn yet..
  7. And hope the scales are CLOSED!!!!
  8. As Bob Mowerman will attest, The Brockway Weekend in Cortland / Homer NY the 2nd weekend of August is a definite to put on your bucket list!!!!! Anywhere from 120 to 150 Brockways on Main St and in the Village park!! Along with 4 museums and a Parade...
  9. Not really!!!!!! His latest proclamations allow something like 2500 a DAY and give a lot of those already here the right to stay!!!
  10. Bob, I know the feeling!! Spent all day yesterday (Monday) going thru 10 days of emails, the mail & checkbook, sorting out all my receipts, checking the truck forums, and taking a NAP... Today I have to unload and drop my trailer then get the lawn mowed / bush hogged.. The good news is that Saturday PM Chris Maney said that ATCA is going to look into golf cart rental.. Possibly handicapped only????
  11. A very GREAT show!!! I had missed the last couple of years, and I enjoyed meeting all my old friends and making some new ones. I am sorry my arthritic legs and hips did not let me walk the whole show field to see all the trucks.
  12. Vlad, Again a BIG Thank You!!!! I have been offsite for most 2 weeks going to both the York and Macungie shows.. I really appreciate the pictures of the various buildings and their architecture.. Places which I would never see in person.
  13. I am the tall one on the right end of the back row..
  14. Larry: From my past experience you will have no problem dropping your trailer and bobtailing out and back in for food service.... NO Metal Gates!!!!
  15. Vlad, Again a big Thank You!!! I had read about the blue tile mosques, But your pictures of them make them very beautiful, as well as the engineering feats to build both the mosques and the shopping areas.
  16. Vlad, Thanks for the Brockway picture.. It is a 700 series with the Sheller Globe cab (Basically Mack)) so it would have been built in the last 2-3 years of Brockway operation.
  17. Looks Great!!!!!! Glad the loaded run was successful... Now, your name lettered on the door and a small amount of pinstriping and you are all set to be a show stopper..
  18. Vlad, Thank you for the very well explained answer to my statement "Never",, Actually I was thinking that the majority of us would never travel that far from home due to age and expense. Curiosity question:: Have you seen any Brockways????? The last 50 Brockways were assembled in a warehouse in Miami FL by management to complete the order and were shipped to Iran. Possibly Oilfield???
  19. It is the little things like that, that take time, BUT make a show truck sparkle!!!
  20. What time frame are you thinking of eating???? We will be leaving Hartford Conn early AM to get to the Mack Museum, pick up trlr, go over to Macungie, unload and drop trailer, park DT, ETC..!!!! My old Butt may be whupped by then!!!!!!
  21. You will have to play with it, but it is very possible you have a transmission like Harry described above.. When I lived in PA we had a V-8 powered IH chassis fire truck that shifted that way.
  22. After several years pulling pneumatic tanks for Matlack, I have blown just about every product you can move with air..
  23. If you think cement is a mess think about baking flour!!! Been there, Done that!!
  24. I think (???) that in the 40's and 50's you were required to carry spare bulbs and there should also be some fuses in there..
  25. Hauled many loads with those trailers out of the Northampton PA mills over the years..
