1958 F.W.D.

You guys are funny. Very funny- you amuse me. Yes like a clown funny. Got home from vacation on Tuesday 7/22 at 7:00pm. First thing I noticed was that someone tripped the claymore inside the garage man door because the door was all blasted to shit kindling wood and there was a boatload of blood stains on the sidewalk so I know one of you schmucks got it...........!!!!! And at 2.5 to 3.0 MPG (and that's based on a S.W.A.G.) I would have hated to foot the bill to get her to the Montana/Washington line and back- that's an awful lot of TK tip money. Mike too bad I was not home, would have had you and the Missus over for dinner. So you were at the guy about 6 houses down from me that has the Great Dane?? The kids love it when they walk him past the house- he drowns them in slobber when he licks them.

Forgot to mention- even SWMBO, who is NOT into any "guy" stuff at all even said that she was highly impressed. That says a LOT!

Had the opportunity to visit the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Va, yesterday. (Exit 150 of I-95.) I have to say the place is freaking AWESOME and is possibly the best museum I have ever been in. I highly recommend it to anyone who served in the USMC, or any branch of the US Military or are a Military buff or supporter. Put it on your bucket list. Admission is free and be sure to eat lunch in the recreated Tun Tavern Restaurant on the second floor (not free.) For those of you on my facebook, I posted an album in my pictures.

I concur with kscarbel2. If you can get the parts, they are not terribly difficult to rebuild yourself, however having a bearing press (or access to one) is critical. Any better commercial bearing supplier should be able to measure your bearings and get you new ones.

Reach out to mack mhe9..............If you need his phone number, I have it.

HAPPY BIRFDAY, BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER!!!!!!

We make a run down to the Outer Banks of NC 3-4 times a year with 3 (ooops now 4) kids....10 hour ride......Trust me on this: go to Walmart, drop $40 on a portable DVD player. Knowing the serenity that it can bring, I would drop $400 on one....!!!! (oh and also keeping them up as late as possible and then leaving at 1:00am so that they sleep the majority of the trip helps too!!!!)

Roger that, cant says I blame you. If you ever do come across I-78 in Pa. I am exit 67 (Bethlehem/Allentown.) Coffee is on me.

if you come across I-78 through the Allentown/Bethlehem Pa area lemme know. I'll buy the coffee.

Oh....Now I am really skeered........please....anything but that! Anything!!!! I dont know if that was said to intimidate or impress me, it did neither. Actually it amused me. BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

I didn't mention any names. So neener neener..............!

The family and I will be in Wilmington NC from 7/12 to 7/21. Anyone in the area wanna do a meet up for coffee or something???

Some guy on here- wont mention any names but his handle rhymes with "fatkitty"....His family tree is a wreath.

You've never gotten drunk before?

If you forget the flour you can just lick all the folds until you taste shit and then back up one.........

carlotpilot private message me your mailing address if you want one.

Ok for your consideration two mid-1980's COE Freightliner cab lock release handles.....Up for grabs....Same terms as listed in the original post........Plus the other unknown items..........

Made by Alcoa and very light. Will not cost a lot to ship to you via USPS priority mail.

My father swears these are cab mount brackets for a Hayward F-Model. (He thinks the Allentown brackets are different but not 100% sure....) Gentlemen's agreement: 1. You yourself use these **OR** give them to someone who can 2. You will not re-sell them for the thousands of dollars they are probably worth or give them to someone who will do the same.... 3. You send me a check for whatever I put into sending them to you for..... and I will give them to you. I want for a fellow BMT'er to have these if you can truly use them. Reach out to me if interested.

The blue oval phone is broken

Carl this will be the first year in about 15 years that I am not going. For those of you who have never been, for any antique firetruck enthusiast this is the World Series, Super Bowl and Stanley Cup Finals of firetruck musters all rolled into one.

Ron- we made some adjustments to the half-track scooter. <div id="fb-root"></div> <script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script> <div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=771359546217636" data-width="466"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=771359546217636">Post</a> by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/teamdriftmonkey">Team Driftmonkey</a>.</div></div>

Harvey says "WTF?" in more politically-correct terminology.

Carl, I copied the picture and sent it in an email to Harvey Eckert. When he replies I'll post it here.

Puckerbrush, Nevada (population 28) home of the T/A Truckstop (yes the whole town is/works at the truckstop) I forget where on I-80, out in the middle of nozzing for 300 miles in each direction. They used to have a great t-shirt that said "WHERE IN THE HELL IS PUCKERBRUSH?"
