There was the "synonimous Bengal fan", a character on Gary Burbank's radio show on 700 WLW- that's probably where it came from. He always called and changed words to be something different, but close enough to what the word really was that you knew what he meant to say...I think. I've confused myself again, I must be off.

looks like they spelled synonimous wrong too. We'd really all like to see a picture of it sitting upon your head. Now all you need is a Peterbilt T-shirt to wear with it.

Well, Rob-is that all you got for your birthday? Didn't even get any socks, or neckties, or underwear? Nothing to wear, not even a picture disc or anything? I think momma should get on her bike and pedal over to Auto Affair and get your mail for you, since you've got typhoid fever. I wasn't going to say anything, but I couldn't stand it anymore-you could look at pictures of beautiful scenery in the great northwest while you're recuperating...might make you feel better.

No, don't pay any attention to her!-ya gotta eat...right Ms. Rider?..no offense...sorry, nunna my binness.

oh no!..apparently it's worse than we thought-that typhoid fever is nothing to be taken lightly- or-on the other hand, are you perhaps feeling better? You sorta-kinda sound like your old self even!

seems to me in was in the "air ride seat wanted" department

Gee Rob, hope you're feeling better...almost makes me feel bad for picking on you just to see your response. I did a lot of "mig" (metal-inert gas) welding on aluminum, but never "tig". I've seen it done before though, and it's really neat. You can almost weld wreynolds wrap with a tig torch.

...huh?

that's the same thing I said

I use it when I get lost too.

yep

yeah, helluva cleanup job! looks like a different truck

What I meant to say was- if all else fails, you can crack (loosen, I should say) the line where it goes into the wheel cylinder and bleed it there. However,That will only release the bulk of the air from the cylinder. The bleeder screw is placed at the highest point of the fluid cavity as to facilitate entrapped air rising to that elevation to be removed by "bleeding". As you will remember from elementary physics: A fluid medium, (liquid) cannot be compressed. A gaseous medium, (air in this case) readily compresses to many times it's atmospheric pressure/state. Hydraulic power is based upon the principal that a liquid cannot be compressed. This lack of compression allows the movement of fluid under pressure to perform mechanical work. In this case, ultimately spreading of brake shoes to provide friction against a brake drum.

I never even heard of mapp gas. Rob knows his s-...stuff, I mean

"...I do like tater tots..."- Clint Eastwood on whether or not to eat the governors t-bone steaks and tater tots, in the movie where he's after Kevin Costner, who has the little boy in the casper the ghost costume.

I saw some of these videos on the Diesel Gypsy's site, but there was no sound. This is way better with sound-too bad they didn't have a 318 vs. a 903. Probably would have taken too long for 'em to get up the hill anyway

ran across this picture a while ago. the caption said "never piss off the guy who runs the backhoe".

I haven't, but I did see this "bacon pie"...looks delicious.

That's not Dick Van Dyke-it's Rob Petrie- so that's not-you're not...never mind, back to the secret research lab Your brother Jerry is funnier anyway.

After much research I finally found out what Rob really looks like. This is his senior portrait, from the Farmington High School yearbook, class of 1978.

yep, that's what they say.Usually i'd go to Brookfield or Sharon and load right back to Roanoke or Lynchburg instead of going all the way to Butler to load.

here's what the other side of them look like

excellent point Speed

wow, great picture! You can see Mt. Rainier on the horizon!..oh, what were you talking about? I wasn't paying attention.

It was... I... never mind, I have no idea where I was on the 16th.
