1958 F.W.D.

SWMBO had issues with her mood* and short-term memory for about 2-3 weeks after recovering from the initial symptoms. She also had shortness of breath after mild activity (carry a load of laundry up the stairs she would get winded and have to sit down) for about 4-6 week. *even more so that normal but shhhhhhh dont tell her I said that

Unfortunately I have to answer all incoming calls as I use my phone for work (boss pays the bill, can't complain......) If I get an out of area number I do let it go to voicemail but.....they "spoof" local numbers and these I have to answer. So if it is a scammer I screw with them as much as I can. I have an Indian friend who once told me that if you accuse them of having relations with their mother, it is one of the biggest personal insults you can throw at them, and they never say the word "mothe.......er" so if you can get a MF out of them, you know you pissed them off. Some of my friends and I have an honor-system game where we see how long we can keep them on the phone. My longest so far is 16 minutes for one of the car warranty guys. I kept asking him more and more complicated coverage questions, like "is the blinker fluid tank protected from cracking or breaking" or "Are the muffler bearings covered?"

No I never touch the stuff

Edward, what is your favorite barbeque/picnic food?

From what I can tell, Ed isn't doing too well. Word from a friend of his has it that he is on a new med that has dulled the pain, and that he is at peace. Maybe take a few minutes and say a prayer for him and his family.

Who? OH!!! MIKE!!!

She asked me if I had AmBosch or Robert Bosch injection

Don't know any labs down there but most of the major CAT dealers have their own in-house labs and will analyze any make/model.

CoCo where are you located?

I know you are bored out of your mind, but TAKE IT EASY......especially if you are having inner ear and dizziness issues!!!!

Have you had a recent crankcase oil analysis done? For an average price of $20 it is a priceless tool to use.

Don't forget to only use non-ethanol gasoline if you are able to.

Have enough energy to take a good long hot shower? They always make me feel like a million bucks after being stuck in bed for a few days

Joey Mack I see you are in Salisbury NC......My pop and I know the fire chief Bob Parnell there very well. We both used to work for Jevic and when Jevic had a terminal down there (later moved to Concord) we got to know him well after a few haz mat spills in the yard and on the dock. I had a job offer there about 25 years ago for the Fire Department, but my b tch first wife (who told me she would go anywhere with me for a career fire department job) wouldn't cut the apron strings from her mother. I am still pissed to this day about it but then again that was the beginning of the end of her and I wouldn't have met SWMBO.

Joey Mack hope you pull out of this soon. You may have seen a while back that my wife and I both got it the second week of December. I had fevers, aches/pains/chills and the mud squirts for less than 36 hours and then poof.....all gone like I never had it, I swear I felt FINE. Then four days later I lost all sense of taste and smell. The wife got her ass kicked- she had all the symptoms I had plus a hacky cough and she slept for 18-20 hours a day for the first 8-9 days. She also lost her taste and smell and we both got it back between Xmas and New Years. And if any of the kids had it, they didn't show any symptoms. When we both tested positive the school said "keep em home and switch to virtual (our district was offering both.) This disease is very strange it how differently it can affect people.

Absolutely THIS.

EFF SENSITIVITY TRAINING!

Saw my first "Double-Masker" today at the supermarket. It was ahead of me in the checkout line. Came with a bonus of wearing plastic gloves, and it wiped down the pad of the credit card machine. I go through my checkout routine, and head out to the parking lot. I did like I always do when I got out the door- ripped off my face diaper. I was walking to the pickup when double masker is pushing it's cart back to the store- it yells to me "Hey you need to put your mask on!" Without hesitation I shouted back "Hey you need to MYOFB!" Groan.

That may be a bit out of his comfort zone but give Gregg Hoffman (Under Dog on here) a call 610-428-6075. If he doesn't answer, leave a message. He is operatin' and will call you back at his next opportunity. Tell him the Hellertown Truck Stop/Freight Broker sent you.

The cab A few weeks ago- looking down the frame from the front. Yes the frame rails, the cross members, the torque box and outriggers are all galvanized. The pump housing, about 85% complete The Raydan air bag assist walking beam suspension. Note the Meritor disc brakes on the tandems. Most of the suspension components are installed. The engine (X15 Cummins/600hp) and the Trans (Allison AVS4000) have been installed.

I am trying to upload some more build progress pictures but am having trouble. Here is the 2000 GPM Waterous pump itself, set into the frame of the pump housing module.

Sure. How many do you want?

No one is perfect.
