As a matter of fact it was.

these are ripe habenero peppers out of the garden. they're supposed to be the world's hottest peppers...sure don't look that intimidating,eh? I've got lots of them...think i'll try making habenero wine out of them.

This is the top-secret wine making lab (a.k.a. the kitchen). Strained it the first time this morning. Starting to look like wine anyway. Thought this was a gallon jug too, but it's 3 liters- almost ran over. Jo hasn't even complained about the mess yet.

ever checked out "Twin stick pappy"? That's a good one too.

Don't know about the Superliner...they were grapes, I made Jo eat some first, waited 30 minutes, then I tasted them. They were very sweet and grapy. Yeah, that would probably work better...bet it would be blown up big as the refrigerator this morning!

I thought that was Larry, was going to youtube to review to make sure.

I like this too-Jimmy ain't bad! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6ZYx88j4R8

Guess it's just you and Herb, I gotta work tomorrow too. Still better cook 2, Herb will probably be real hungry after his long ride.

There were some wild grapes at the shop. The vines were growing up in a pine tree and I picked all I could reach when they got ripe-even climbed up the tree to pick some. Got the ballon over it so the little fruit flies can't get in it, and it lets the presssure off while the wine's working too. My Ma sent me a recipe last year to make wine in a gallon jug, the grape wine I made last year turned out pretty good. Got another jug of plum wine working too. Bought the plums yeserday, mashed them up and got the seeds out, put them in the Miller Lite jug, covered them with water, added some sugar, and that's it. You don't even have to add yeast, yeast just makes it start to work faster. The ballon I put on that jug yeserday was already fully erect before I went to bed last night. I got 2 more gallon jugs, I want to try making some apple and pear wine in them.

Forgot this picture. I got it from an Australian Mack site, pretty cool there,eh? (that's Canadian)

man, I miss those brain cells I abused now...used to know this. The '77 F-model I drove had the bigger sleeper and I used to remember when they changed from the flat rear on the cab...but I can't right now...probably same year on R-models. The instant Rob gets back from the buffet at the Petro he'll answer this, as he is an R-model expert. As in "air's nuttin' 'bout a r-moderl I don't know".

Absolutely, what Paul and Underdog said. Mack used to put a lot of thought into their setups, even the gear shift knobs, and what Herb said...sorry, I got a call from Old Bill, my hero, the greatest truck driver ever, and quite possibly the greatest living human being.

Well, thank you Paul- you're very welcome... I have become an ameteur(?) wine conner sewer, and I take back ALL the nasty things I said about you when I thought you were shunning us. You are still one of the greatest living Americans in my opinion. By the way, it's almost hot sauce season!

I don't know, but it sure is a neat looking truck!

cartoon boobage should be this big-

you made that?..that's funny! Haven't heard "chain drive wallet" or "pocket rockets" for a while. You should have made the teacher's boobs bigger though.

I'll try to contact DoubleL immediately.

yeah, everybody likes watermelon. Speaking of Superliners, there's a pretty solid black one sitting in Appomattox i'll try to get a picture of.

looks like a great show, wish I could have made it. Liked that 400 Farmall with the wide front end too.

OK, how about these new bigger better pictures of the week- went to the shop Thursday morning to go unload in Petersburg and saw this Superliner there, then yesterday saw this Tigerliner in Pa. Saw a Marmon in Illinois last week. My hi-tech homemade wine making equipment, and this watermelon is growing through the fence around the garden. Figured as it got bigger the wire would cut the stem off, so I split a piece of fuel line hose and put it over the wire.

Probably to protect the windshield from flying rocks in the outback.

I used to see a white GMC 860 well drilling truck on rt. 18 between 77 and 71. Had a for sale sign on it and it set there for a long time, but it's long gone now. Always wondered what became of it, as I like those model GMC's. It was a good looking truck.

yeah,but she said her mom didn't let her go but a few miles from home by herself so she could only push to the top of the first mountain.

probably hit a patch of ice.

your buffoonish spies are eediots- it was not a bulldozer, it was a 992 Cat rubber tired loader!
