1958 F.W.D.

That is an Ansul cartridge-type extinguisher, it is actually a very good unit to have. I have a 20-pounder filled with Purple K in my garage.

Happy New Year! Not slamming the door on 2017's ass but I am not sad to see it go, either.

"BLOW THE TANKS! HE'S USING THE SMOKER AGAIN!!!!"

Holy crap I just pissed myself laughing!!!

Some of you may remember a while back that Otherdog had a bit of an "incident" when his smoker got out of control and things got a bit out of hand. He posted pictures of his shed which was reduced to a pile of smoldering fodder. It has come to my attention that the pictures he posted did not accurately represent the situation. Someone sent me this pic showing the actual conditions.

I thought Andy was from Manteo on the Outer Banks?

Let me guess- Kelsey-Hayes Disc Brakes?

Hey Doug T where in Philly are you?

Merry Christmas to all from myself, SWMBO, Large, Medium, Small, Extra Small and the rest of the staff here at the Hellertown Truckstop. All of our best to you and your families in the new year!!!!!

There's only one thing better than a "Girl in a Car" picture- a "Girl wearing a miniskirt in a car" picture!

For once, I have something positive to report about a business transaction. I ordered new tires for my pickup from tirerack.com No one else could touch the price they had on 275 65 20" Cooper Discoverer AT's. When I went online to order them, I wanted to pick them up at their New Castle, Delaware warehouse and save myself almost $100 in shipping. The online ordering thingamabobber said that they were out of stock at New Castle, so I had to fork over shipping fees to have them sent from Conn. (even with the shipping no one could touch their price.) I get an email 2 days later advising that they had been shipped......wait for it........from New Castle, Delaware. So I called the 800 number and explained the situation. Without me even asking the call taker offered a full refund of the shipping fee, which was credited to my bank account 3 days later. They will be getting future business from me.

Was looking for something and found this. Always a great story to share and rest in peace Jim Winsor.

HAH!

Yes, 212 degrees for about 8 minutes or so

Why are they on the floor and not in a pot of boiling water? What time should I be there?

Is that diesel-electric drive? What are the specs on something like that, I know nothing about that big mining stuff.

OUTSTANDING!

Yup I am with you, I would not want to get the Mother-In-Law Suite all mucked up.......wait.......would it keep my MIL away? Maybe the thought of mucking it up has merit......

I remember that, my grandparents always bought me educational presents at bdays and xmas and when I was into Astronomy they got me a script' one year.

Hey Doug Maney or Babymack- that didn't come from the amusement ride guy, did it? (I can't remember his name?)

Green Dash you certainly are hot when you fire off the jokes.

Cauldron? And as far as that shed being in the way so as to not being able to get a clear picture, set up your smoker and........errrrr.......ahhhh......oh nevermind. Ladies and Gentlemen, here's my co-host, Green Dash!

Guys, A young United States Marine and member of my Volunteer Fire Company was denied a hotel room at the Country Inn and Suites by Carlson in Wilmington, NC earlier tonight. He was told he had to be 21 years old or "have an adult" with him. His father (our Fire Chief) had already paid for the room in advance. He was on the way home from Camp Lejune for Thanksgiving and was due at the airport at 0500 on Thanksgiving morning. He is old enough to enlist in the USMC and potentially give everything for the United States of America but he can't get a hotel room on Thanksgiving Eve while waiting for a flight at the airport. I encourage you all to call the Country Inn and Suites at 910-398-6470 (4706 New Centre Drive, Wilmington NC) and voice some displeasure of the situation. By the way- the Best Western took care of him,

Wrong answer. Fire apparatus is indeed exempt from emissions controls, however engine manufacturers will not shut down their production lines for a small percentage of units.
