  1. Got to drive and operate a P-4 in the very beginning of my career (they were being phased out when I was a rookie.) Bombproof machines that took an ass kicking and kept on going.
  2. That does not appear to be a Seagrave. The cab is the biggest clue- it appears to be a TCI (Cincinatti) Cab. Seagrave builds their own. The body also does not appear to be of Seagrave origin. I am usually pretty pretty good at guessing truck manufacturers but the fact that this one has been refurbished at least once (the strobe boxes on the front, the "bus" mirrors and a lot of other stuff is not original) really has me scratching my head. But I am confident that this is not a Seagrave.
  3. I praise him and think he did the right thing......But shot the guy in the back.....the anti-gun nuts will be eating that right up and the family will sue him, and the municipality if they do not press charges.
  4. Did you mean to say an Oshkosh P-4?? And if I had a 12V71 in my garage I would want to hide it too. But I wouldn't have a 12V71 in my garage.
  5. Slower Lower Delaware. Gladys. It's all the same. You probably felt right at home. (except in Delaware they don't burn down the shed and the siding off the house when they smoke some ribs)
  6. That's OK we all cannot be perfect all of the time. I will be there.
  7. Depending on where those two in Philly are I could go take a look for whoever if you are interested.
  8. And I will bet you any amount of money that P will claim "Operator Error."
  9. Whether or not it was operator error or mechanical failure, it should be mentioned that this is the third (known) failure of this specific model of Pierce aerial.
  10. One of the most incredible inventions on the face of god's green earth. I have had mine since about four days after Macungie 2017 and it has become a way of life in my home. I have done brisket, ribs, tri-tip, ham shoulders for pulled pork, pork loins but what I enjoy the most and have down to a science are simple roast beef. You can smoke a nice 2-4 pound roast beef in about 3.5 hours. The one thing about the PBS you need to understand is that it is *specifically* designed around charcoal (they want you to use standard, plain Kingsford, but many folks are reporting success with Royal Oak. I plan on trying it soon.) Also, you need to use the specific amount of charcoal, or else the interior temperature may not get hot enough or too hot and overcook your food too fast or unevenly. If you are used to a wood smoker, you may not like the PBS. I highly recommend the Pit Barrel Smoker to anyone- from experienced to amateur smokers, especially the amateur guys. They have a fantastic website.
  11. Very finicky, overheats easily, high maintenance.
  12. Air-Cooled. Like a Deutz.
  13. Only one thing worse than a redhead is a redhead nurse.........Just ask me.
  14. Happy Burfday!!!! How old are you.........77? 78?
  15. Part of his recycling program- as he drinks em down, he smelts them down into the side panels.
  16. Tell your concrete guy you want your money back.
  17. Check your private messages.

  19. No, don't bring her to Macungie, are you nuts? Then we will have to give her some of the smoker barbeque schtuff at lunch time!!!
  20. Very cool. I appreciate guys that take the time to make videos like this.
  21. His face bounced off the hood of the squad car three or four times by accident.
  22. Hmmmm.... E7/460 18 speed and set up for heavy haul flatbed work. Been for sale for 3 or 4 years. Someone would have snapped that up a while ago unless there is something major league wrong.
  23. Sitehauling, does that Hayward tractor still exist? I swear I have seen it before.
  24. Belgium Cold Springs truck is an American Lafrance. 1935 +/- Thanks for sharing Vlad, very cool!! Hey any plans to come to the US anytime soon?
