1958 F.W.D.

Tom, I sent you a PM with my pop's cell number. Please reach out to him, and thanks for the help!

Ummmmm....well.......ummmmm...ok then!

Just talked to a firefighter buddy of mine up in Buffalo. He's been on duty straight with no breaks since Monday as has been the bulk of the on-duty forces including the cops and paramedics. The Mayor ordered all essential service personnel to be held on-duty at the recommendation of the Fire and Police Chiefs. Guys being retained on duty and those who are able to make it in are being used to add extra manning to in service trucks and to also man the reserve pools for additional units. He says they are not getting many fire calls, but buildings are collapsing left and right, and they only expect THAT to get worse tonight into tomorrow. Local Citizens are helping out by loaning the firefighters snowmobiles, one guy even loaned the fire dept an old half-track but they managed to get that stuck if you can believe it.

damn driptroits......at least with THAT one you dont have to smash your fingers with the hammer before you start it.........

I am ruling out firetruck. I don't see any holes drilled in any sheet metal where sirens, lights, bells, etc would be mounted.

Ken- the 1870's and 1880's?

How do you keep them clean and short?

Had a plumber give me a tip once- If you are in an old house that still has cast iron DWV pipes, and your sink (or whatever else) is running slow......Boil up a big pot of water and pour it down the offending drain. The temp of the water is enough to beat the crap out of a lot of scum/grease/etc. But he was careful to point out not to do it if you have PVC DWV pipes- the 21 degree water will melt glue joints. Oh, he also said "don't chew your fingernails" whatever that means.

Uhhhhh seeing that my backyard is approiximately 1/10th of an acre, my crop maintenance needs are not pressing at this time, so I am inclined to pass on this offer. I will however donate to the fuel costs to whoever purchases it for the purpose of driving it into the nearest ocean.

Make a lotta dust

We had this thing called a Boda Turbo-Lube on a couple of our firetrucks (the ones we have that I wont admit to having green leakers........)

Ohhhhhhhh pepper squeezins!!!!!

What'r the bottles for? Some home made corn squeezins? Potato squeezins?

Pick up the truck for a song and a dance. Rebuild the chassis and driveline, keep the cab for parts and or templates and find another cab to drop on.

FOCK!!!!!! Probably still has a lot of good parts. Tires didn't blow, the heat wasnt too terribly bad.....The body pieces may be good, I dont see any heat warping.......It might be salvageable.....Of course it'll take a little more elbow grease than the previous condition.

You spelled "roont" wrong!

Yes, just flip them over...........LOL!

Now that there is what I call a firetruck.

Knockometer- same thing used by drivers of Detroits to be able to deal with the sound.

The telesqurt? Holy crap I remember when that was delivered brand new!

Thanks everyone, had an "OK" day, had to work- no rest for the weary. Wife got some overtime tonight so we didnt go out or anything, but she said if I play my cards right she might take me to the TK tomorrow night or Friday night and point out one or two nuns that she would bring home for me- if she did that sort of thing as she likes to say........WENCH!!! LOL

We just cleaned off the kitchen table, I don't need straight 40 weight all over it, thanks.

THANG YOU!!!!! THANG YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!
