1958 F.W.D.

Katrina Falk in Morristown, Indiana used to have a piece of "The V-12 Shop" down in Texas. Don't know what the current status of her involvement in that is, other than she moved to Indiana about a year or year and a half ago. She probably knows more about those V12 (lycoming) engines than all of us guys combined. If you are on Facebook, look her up, might be worth your time to do so.

I'm not a very religious man Rowdy but you and your family are in my thoughts..........

I was a paid staffer with the American Red Cross Disaster Services back in 1993 and spent pretty much the entire summer out there, all points between Kansas City, St Louis and Sioux City, Iowa......Saw some bad shit. And you say this flooding may exceed that? Damn.

Hey even Wookies need love.......

I just rattled his cage on facebook to come in here....LOL

He shows up on Facebook once in a while. I also talked to him on the phone back around Thanksgiving I think....Was doing well, new tractor running good. And yes has a ladyfriend up in Michigan near the terminal where he's based out of now.

Ayup. Thats the one.

Oh my gawd.....The one on the right.....Bring her to me. Now. Hat City....Yes.....Post the picture. You know the one. Do it NOW.

I love the fact that he posts the query on Xmas Eve, and then whines on Xmas Day (less than 24 hours later, on one of the most holiest of holidays in Christianity) that "No one has an answer?" Yeah, here.....Let me pull out my Nalcool Filter Guide out of my ass (everyone has one up their ass, right?) while I drive to any of the four parties that the family and I have been invited to.....Oh, wait....Can't get to it....Wait until Xmas morning, I'll tell the kids to hold off opening the presents while I pull that catalog out of my bunghole for you........Wait, can't find it......Hold on, I'll tell the 11 dinner guests I have coming for Xmas Dinner to starve for an extra hour while I find that.......... Is it ok to say "Jesus, will you please cool your jets give us a chance to find that for you before you come all unglued at the seams" during this time of year?

You post at 11:30 at night on Xmas Eve and then expect a prompt answer?

No hot sauce for everyone?

Recently spotted on the interwebz.......

OtherDog's Bar/Grill and Brass Poleatorium wishes to announce "Merry Christmas" to both of all of our loyal customers, and is proud to announce our newest dancer nun-in-training winfall girl sales associate http://americangg.net/the-worlds-best-pole-dancer/

I'm thinking about transplanting a 16V92T Detroit into the FWD and using it as a daily driver, what do you guys think?

Whew......I saw the "mini-mack" title and was gonna duck until I saw the pictures.........

Not gonna argue with that. It ran it's course. No it means I would encourage it.

Red Horse, can you post a link to the newspaper article, or what part of the world did this happen in, I can do a search?

It doesn't happen often, but Ken had to smash an idioto (thats Japanese) with the ban hammer, but not before the idioto in question got precisely what he wanted- to gain attention in his own little narcissistic way, but also to divide and conquer us by causing hate and discontent. In the end, I don't think it ended up the way the little prick wanted because with the help of another member (who I am sure may be reading this...who will remain anonymous unless he wants to identify himself) I received some very good and credible intelligence on the turd and hung it out on the clothesline to air out. He managed to drive away one of us. One of the family. I for one find this completely, totally and wholly unacceptable. It's Christmas, dammit. I want everyone at the table at dinnertime and anything less is unacceptable. So in the future, please don't let the trolls get the best of us. Or Else- I will post more pictures of me just out of the shower and will encourage Other Dog to photochoppage them as he sees necessary as a punishment for everyone falling prey to the hate and discontent. In the meantime, Farmer52 this is for you....

Bill Noonan is a friend and is on facebook. He loves to tell the story behind this picture which was the Plant Shoe fire. His photos are among some of the most famous pics taken in the fire service. He has hundreds if not thousands of images out there.

Tire stalker!

Despite what people think, the Museum is mostly (but not entirely) a volunteer workforce. Additionally, their operational budget is limited as well. This is why your donation for your archive requests are critical.

Buddy of mine still has his 84 or 85 Ranger with a 4 cyl oil burner.....IIRC it's a Brazilian tractor engine. Not many were made. He has it hermetically sealed in a gigantic zip-lock baggie and it only has maybe 30,000 original miles.

Cool your jets everyone.....building is slated to be demolished but I do not see that happening until at LEAST 2018 sometime.

Worked out a deal with a municipality in central Bucks County. Pa. that happens to own a vacant fire station......Collecting dust. I cannot confirm or deny that I may or may not be the building inspector in said municipality. Fire Company moved out several years ago into a new facility and the town took possession of the building about a year ago. Been sitting ever since. Took a few weeks but I may or may not have cooked up a deal with them that was a win-win.....They may or may not get a few bucks for the general fund every month, and I may or may not get a place for the Hahn. No heat or water, but there is electricity and video surveillance. The only down side is that this portion of the building will be demolished but I dont see it happening until 2018 at the very least.
