  1. mehh kids always bragging! i rode my pet brontosaur to skool.......uphill both ways, in the snow.
  2. ne green beer for me. i only had a glass of Bushmills because i knew i had to go in at 4 am.
  3. as a kid we were lo9. then when party line stopped, new number was 566-6546. grand parents was 566-6543. and inlaws was 566-6542. those numbers were all issued in early 60's. and in use by all of us until 95.
  4. i saw on another side bank of america just released 14 years worth of pedo joe and family secret banking records. dont know if it is true or not, but hopefully it could be the straw that finally kills him.
  5. removing the transfer case makes life a whole lot easier.
  6. we had a guy trying to sell us a dozen brand new 12X24 tires two years ago. i looked, and they did not even have date codes on them, so they were AT LEAST 21 years old. needless to say, we passed on them
  7. or more......
  8. Happy prince spaghetti day everyone!
  9. i AM GOING TO GO OUT ON A LIMB AND SAY THAT FRAME IS FROM AN EX FIRETRUCK WITH FRONT MOUNT PUMP.
  10. exhaust leaks do strange things to new engines.
  11. i ain't always right..... sometimes i am left.
  12. nope. 61 Ford Camaro and for that year the 318 slant 6 had a 3 barrel carbulator on it.
  13. besides the explorer, 3 F550's in work, and the two Kenworth T880's with LED headlights, i also put a set of LED sealed beam replacements in the 04 F350. difference is i aim the lights low so they do not blind anyone. and NEVER use high beams.
  14. i would be more worried about him making a wrong turn looking for a shortcut!!!! 😁
  15. never saw one. but than again, any roads here that have a raised rail grade are also 4 ton max weight.
  16. i have NEVER seen a grade clearance sign at RR crossing in any of my travels.
  17. i hope they pay train the nascar drivers better than their truck drivers!!!
  18. nope. just about every higher end car made in the past 3 years or so have LED headlights. even my explorer has them.
  19. i HATE led headlights, and think they should ne illegal. people give me the but i can see so much better with them. ya know what? it is dark. slow the eff down. my vehicles have 45 MPH headlights on them, and i only drive 40 MPH at night. there is no need to blind everyone on the road just so i can get where i am going 5 minutes faster.
  20. the 2022 tandem was $215,000. the 2022 triaxle was $ 235,000. the 2023 triaxle on order was quoted at $285,000. we sold the 2020 triaxle for $190,000 back in september,$5,000 more than we paid for it. and i used it for 3 1/2 years and put 72,000 miles on it. the reason used truck prices are so high is the current wait time between order and delivery is close to 2 1/2 years. so it is either overpay for a used truck, or take whatever they have on the lot new.
  21. i tell the boss i will not retire until the day after i die. and he is fine with that, he needs someone he can trust.
  22. i only run local the past 13 years Bob. under 200 miles in a 10 hour day. most of the time under 100 miles, and sometimes as little as 50 miles. blah blah blah. so i am knocking on 67's door. the kids still tell me i am older than dinosaur poop.
  23. micky mouse!!!
  24. about 5 years ago i tried figuring out how many miles i logged and and gave up 3.5 million just on trucks i have drove. that was not counting car miles either. probably have close to half a million on cars too. i started driving at 13 with a 49 International L190 single axle tractor on the farm pulling hay from fields to the barn. by 14 i was delivering grain to the co-op 25 miles away with the same truck and a dump trailer. i have been pushing trucks down the road for 53 years now.
  25. donny did not steal little tommys lunch money...... he paid little suzy to look up her skirt!!!
