1958 F.W.D.

Seems that we brought home some extra baggage from our Disney trip a few weeks ago. 5 of us went down, but apparently 6 came home. Mrs. FWD is now with child......Again......... Due date is D-Day......June 6!!!!! This was not planned at all and came totally out of left field and smashed us both in the face as hard as a freight train!!!! But we're taking it with a grain of salt and running with it!!! And as was standard operating procedure with Small, Medium and Large, we will not be finding out the sex until the little bastard darling pops out of the toaster. For those of you on facebook, don't say anything over there yet, my folks dont know about it yet, as soon as they know I'll let the news fly and then you can break my balls over there. Here however feel free to commence with the ball breakage. Oh, yeah.....speaking of balls.....snippage will commence soon as well.

I'm exit 67 of I-78. Lots of guys from down your way come up 81/83 through Harrisburg and then run 78 when coming into North Jersey or New England to avoid the Philly area. But yeah in retrospect thats a little north of Lakehurst.

You went to Lakehurst and you couldn't swing by for a cup of coffee?

Check the Fetzer Valve

Ken Halloween isnt until next week, you can take the mask off!!!!

I like to think that I am one of the most easy going guys out there, I get along with anyone and everyone. But on a personal level- don't piss me off, don't take advantage of me, my family or my friends. On a professional level- don't piss me off or take advantage of the people I am sworn to protect, especially because you are too cheap. Like I said to the guy "Sure.....Why should you care? It's probably a nice comfy 70 degrees inside your house. Meanwhile your tenant here in Apartment 4 and her three kids (including the baby) can see their breath." I can, have and will continue to be a sadistic and sarcastic prick when the situation calls for it. I have zero tolerance in my heart for slum lords. and unfortunately there are way too many of them out there.

SWMBO does not care if I go there, or Hooters...In fact she likes the food and atmosphere at both places. She even came out with Doug's Group (and Vlad and Ken) the night we all went out of Macungie this year. But like she says.... "You can look at the menu all you want. In fact you can even stare at it. But the second you order something, you die."

I'm a municipal building inspector/code enforcement officer/zoning officer/fire marshal. Currently I am dealing with a slum lord who thinks that heat in his apartment building really isn't an important thing even though it's getting down to near freezing here at night. Has not had working heat at all since last year, when the boiler was breaking down constantly. He was told then by an HVAC professional that his now 30+ year old boiler was on it's last legs and he needed a new one; which of course he cried about- never mind the fact that a new boiler would cut his oil costs in half......So he tells me he called the HVAC guy to come out and fix the old one- but "they told me they are booked until middle of next week." My reply was "better get someone else then because you have until 7:00 tonight to get the heat up and running or I issue a "Vacate the Building" order and your tenants will have to hit the streets.....And legally not have to pay you rent......... So he says "You can't do THAT!" My reply: "All it takes is one emergency injunction, signed by the Judge and enforced by myself with the assistance of the Police Department. Would you like to gamble and throw the dice and see if I can or cannot do that?" This is one of the days that I hate my job, curse my bad back and the fact that I had to medically retire as a career firefighter.

If no one else bites get back to me. I am next to City of Bethlehem Pa Exit 67 of I-78.....A few miles down the road, just slip me some gas money. Would have to be on a weekend as long as I could get a babysitter.

Yes....Yes I suppose you are correct......On the other hand, no, you are not. 140GZ (F554G) Waukesha: 3200 RPMS= 55 mph comfortable cruising speed (currently.) 671N POS DD: 2100 RPMS= maybe 40mph top speed???? And three forevers to get there......... So unless someone coughs up two axles.......IT AINT HAPPENING.... Besides.....I already have the plan mapped out if the Thunder Pumpkin ever grenades.....Cat has a reman 3208 set for almost the identical horsepower & torque curve at 2800rpms......So if I ever have to put in an oil burner.....Thats the one. And before everyone tells me the 3208 is a boat anchor, yes I am very well aware of that. However I am not delivering freight on a daily basis and if I go over 600 miles in one year, that was a busy year.

Got 5 gallons of gas for the F.W.D. today in a can when I fueled up my pickup. That should get me about 3/4ths of a mile......

Anyone have any idea what the power was for these monsters? Prolly safe to assume some kind of big slobbering two-stroke piece of crap .........?????

He makes regular appearances on facebook..........

Yes, as he strikes a pose.......THATS MY BOY!!!!!!!!!

Like this??? We have wimmins with a truck, but not a Mack.....Even better- An F.W.D. Or maybe this???

YES

Mike.....ixnay on the risque pixturesay...........

Doug I was gonna say count me, the bride and the three stooges in but when I called the bride to check she reminded me that this friday is trick or treat in Hellertown, so we will not be making it, Bride even said "those nice folks we met with Vlad during Macungie? If it wasn't T or T I would!!!"

I was going to be sick but then your pic counter-acted the sudden wave of nausea,

Happy Bday Lass......Hope you have a good one no matter how you spend it!!!!!

Congrats my buddy. That's great news. I am sorry I did not answer the phone when you called yesterday, I was in a meeting and then I totally forgot to call you back, but when you told me in your voicemail that you were free for one year, a big old smile broke out across my face............Outstanding!!!! But......You may be cancer free for a year but yer still ugly!!!! Just kidding my friend!! You know where I am during the weekdays- get a hold of me sometime and lunch is on me!!!

You gotta stop bringing 1/2" drive stuff to a 3/4" or 1" drive fight!!!!!!

You have to be smarter than the nuts, bolts and tools.

The car??? Ha. We can take my pickup- you know the one.....You've seen the tail lights of it a few times...... LOL
