  1. hmmmmm...I should ask Mike if I can sell hotdogs at his place while he's in Des Moines...
  2. By the way, could you post some pictures of yourself, preferably one of you looking to the left, right, and straight ahead...no particular reason.
  3. Oh...good question, I never followed up on the grape story. Turned out that the grape picker tool had a few design flaws, like most of my plans. We ended up spreading a sheet on the ground and using the picker to shake the vines, causing the grapes to fall onto the sheet. Then we picked them up. I washed them and put them in the wine making device, a new 5 gallon bucket from Lowes, with water and sugar. But I had so few grapes to start with I added some apples to the batch, along with more water and a little more sugar. It's fermenting nicely, whether it'll be any good or not only time will tell, i've never added apples before. It smells like wine anyway!
  4. oh...commercial trucks- but I searched all of ebay motors...i'm going back to cooking these greens so I can freeze them...
  5. "Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery for your Dad." (Green Dash,2013)...Amen to that! still waiting for that group photo so the caption contest , everyone wants to see that i'm sure.
  6. Indeed, that's a good looking unit, looks pretty much complete and solid.
  7. "If we aren't careful, America will go into a darkness because we have forgotten what a new day and new dawn look like. If we do not have Godly wisdom, and men and women who are called to lead, then we will be walking down a road to perdition. We are in a time of challenge. Join me in securing a dawn for this great nation." (Allen West) I'd vote for this man too. The "Godly wisdom" is what we're lacking most in this country. I'd vote for Nikki Haley too. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/may/2/south-carolina-house-passes-bill-making-obamacare-/
  8. Saw another picture on facebook, looks like Richwood, WV. Not too far from Nettie.
  9. That's good to know, about Bob's that is. They used to get speedometer and tach cables on a big spool down at H.H.Moore Trucking. We had a simple little tool to fix them, just cut a piece of cable to length, put the tool in a vise and lay the end of the cable in it, then hold another thing on top of the cable and hit it with a hammer to square the end. I'd like to have that, there's a garage in the old trucking co. building now that works on cars and trucks and if that tool's still around they probably don't know what it is.Probably got thrown out in the trash years ago.
  10. Colfax, N.C. is November 2, i'll probably go to that one as it's only a couple of hours from here, practically in Mark's back yard.

  12. It's sad but all very true. I've always felt that's how Obama got elected in the first place and then re-elected- the "free shit" people and their attitude of "screw the good of the country, screw everybody else, I just wants my free shit!.. oh, they be a war in Afghanistan?. I didn't know that, by the way, did you see Justin Beaver and Miley Cyrus on the tv last night?..who won on the American Idol show?" But if you come out and say it you're a racist- and race has nothing to do with it. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are just as big an asshole as Obama is, and they're white ,and i'd vote for Herman Cain for president tomorrow if I could, and he is black.

  14. I believe the B 53 was the predecessor to the DM. They were mostly mixer chassis, but i've seen B 53 dumps too. They were available for 2 year models, '64 and '65. DM's came out in '65. I read this in a truck book I have around here somewhere, but I don't remember which one. Mike probably knows more about it right off the top of his head.
