  1. aint no big mike obama either!!!!
  2. maybe to blind man.
  3. i will also add, if they ever offered an LTL glider kit, i would snatch one up.... then stuff a 600 HP X15 cummins with allison trans in it just to use as a daily driver.
  4. i bet they would sell like cold beers on a hot summer day.
  5. like what? social security for people over 150 years old? or social security and Medicare for illegals? or the $14,000 per year to illegals? or maybe the 4 trillion spent on non trackable items?
  6. dumb and dumber?
  7. the smart thing to do is keep the hoax up until primary time in three years. then announce the Republican ticket of Vance for President and Trump Vice President i am quite sure he will be sharp as a tack at 80, just like he is now.
  8. i was just over moms and she had the news on. top story was "trump announces he will run for third term" mom said isnt that illegal? i said yup only two terms. he just said it to watch all the liberals with TDS heads explode. her reply was well, its working! 🤣
  9. 2 cans of engine degreaser, and 4 rattle cans of spray paint. freshly "rebuilt" engine!!
  10. i know a guy that runs a big truck repair shop. he refuses to do any repairs on foreigner owned trucks until the undercarriage and associated parts are pressure washed clean.
  11. dont forget the locked brakes and only single wheels on the rear.
  12. i am thinking dash unit is a tachograph with directional switchbox on top. i only saw one tachograph unit that was sealed like that one. all others were open side to slip the recorder disc into.
  13. how did you guess? and now that i think of it, it was 36 or 37 years ago, i left that company spring of 95 when the owner started treating me like his son in law that left because he was tired of being treated like dog poop on the sole of a shoe.
  14. probably recycled into chinese cars three of for times over by now. i have not seen that rig in close to 35 years. after i left they could not find anyone to drive it because it was an old dinosaur even back then.
  15. 25 years ago i had a union "pit book" the company got big job widening a main line road. two of the machines i ran were a cat 980 and a terex T36 scrapper. union BA came on the job one day and saw me in the 980. told me i could not be in it and called the hall for someone to run it. guy was in the machine 10 minutes and overheated the trans trying to run in third gear, plus locked up the brakes. also complained it did not have air conditioning. took me 15 minutes to put it back to work. next day the BA kicked me off the T36. new guy shows up and the BA tells me i have to show new guy how to run it. i told him to F.O. and everyone walked off the job until the BA left. that was the last day he was allowed near that job. as retribution, a month later he showed up at the sand pit i was running, intending to shut me down foe sending loads to a union site with non union drivers. he had "spies" tailing the trucks......who all went out of state.. when he found out, he left. and got 1/2 mile down the rod before being pulled over for driving while intoxicated and open alcohol containers in the back seat of the company pickup he was driving. i had seen him drinking while i was loading trucks and called the police to let them know. not only did he loose his license, he also lost his job.
  16. boy does that bring back memories!!!. those damn tires were heavy too. i could get in that rig 6am weighing 220 pounds in the summer, and at 6 pm get out weighing 190 after sweating my asterisk off. and the heater in winter was not worth a damn either.
  17. the one i ran was not that old, it had 15 inch air filled tires on it. probably from late 40's early 50's
  18. first low boy i ran was an old Rodgers fixed neck beavertail twin axle with 8 wheels per axle. only ran that one three times when the boss sold it and replaced with a Rodgers 100 ton 10 foot wide 28 foot deck double detachable. that was the one with the 14/24 tires on it. connected to the DM800 with 14/24 tires i weighed a hair over 78,000 pounds EMPTY. with the "S" tags, i was legal for if i remember correctly 220,000 lbs. with the D8K with full "U" blade and full fuel tank i weighed around 218,000 lbs.
  19. if you would stop watching soap operas you might get something done too. 🤣
  20. a new move in somewhere around me thinks this is a hoa area and is trying to form one. so far everyone is telling them to F.O. but whoever it is is giving me a real hard time with the town. reporting me for everything under the sun from operating a solid waste disposal facility, operating a recycling facility, operating an illegal automotive repair facility, abandoned vehicles, blah blah, blah. the last time one of the town inspectors was here due to another complaint me neighbors just happened to be here. they told the to town code enforcement inspector to tell the complainer to F.O. and leave me alone. and move back to wherever they came from.
  21. in my opinion the 65-66 cyclone was the sexiest
  22. you need to be close range for a shotgun Joe. large caliber high power rifle you can be far enough away that the slug will hit before you hear the noise.
  23. that is why god created large caliber high power rifles.
  24. well, ya cant open something that does not show up on your screen. never saw that pic. i wonder if that yard jockey truck was built for right hand drive countrys?
