bought two cans of SPAM yesterday! even they make different flavors now . slice it thin / fry it up put it between two pieces of 1/4 thick tofu. the "golden yrs my ass!!

stating CT DMV is a nightmare definitely is being polite!. based on experience at one ; another factor to consider is ask around to those who had the unfortunate time at them. I spent hrs at one only to be told "paperwork is wrong" ,drove directly to another 20 minutes away (located in smaller town ) :: in /out 30 minutes with all documents I needed. some locations are known as places to stay away from. the classic vehicle plates seem to be another gimmick in CT lately. long as they meet stated requirements plates are given, many of which are NOT true classics. another joke is the use of camper plates; trailers hauling wood on flat deck !!

thanks; that's why it's still open=two different tracks being discussed.

yrs back having the two "49 Macks , I became a member of both ATHS/ATCA, Macks are gone so are both memberships. I came across an issue of Double Clutch recently :what box it's in =anybody's guess . few challenges at the moment , going through boxes of items scaling back personal belongings.

is the new England Dragway being discussed same as the Connecticut dragstrip located in Colchester CT?? if so the CT Dragway closed years ago, last of my knowledge it was being used by consumer protection for testing misc items. fact I went there once through Cummins sponsored program for testing ???? don't remember . Fred Munday was instructor. somewhere I know I have pictures of the funny cars running there.

make any difference if you go for farm plates ?? knew a guy when asked what kind of farm he had ; reply was "a tree farm" ! he owned 4 -5 acres of woods. like can be seen in your picture background.

yrs back a CT steel hauling Co had not only the roof hatch, also both front fenders were flat top /lower fabricated with diamond plate. edgecomb steel had some {blue) units with the flat fenders.

guess I'm just an old fart since I never understood why people buy a great piece of meat then have to add different flavors to it . being fortunate enough to have lived/owned a farm and raised my own cattle/pigs; never found a need to change flavors. to eat a real fresh piece of meat VS store bought major difference. fresh means raising/butchering / hanging/ wrapping . no colored die injected. freshest meat is when cutting a piece off it still has the heart beat. never made it to a grill/stove. those were the good days ; now I eat tofu to attempt weight loss.

now why wouldn't it be impressive !!!!:: IT'S A MACK. LOL

THANK YOU for all the effort being put in to parts for the "little Macks" some of us build .

early '80's Gerosa had quite a few heavy haulers at the new jersey truck races ;;not that one, somewhere I have some close up pictures of their fleet.

actually I'm gettin a little concerned the nevada DM is taking so long, I might have to fly out there to assist; get some green paint on it and a flatbed!! times running out possibly. bring it out to ct for one "project" then it also will qualify for this topic of Connecticut construction truck :LOL. now the pressures on 🤣

reason for time delay from funeral to auction is the "low-lifes" go to the after funeral gathering for free food/drinks. I know of one such low-life. went to the funeral of a sweet lady (my neighbor) which he never associated with bragged about the expensive drink he had. the husband rent the entire restaurant with open bar/ free menu. I was one of the pallbearers . heard the funeral cost 32 K; this was many yrs ago. SR Gasperri deserved to go out in style. I hope to ride out on back of a Mack.

you know your old when seeing pictures like this remembering when truck used to have the E/G on door not the L and think " I worked on that truck". both Father and son were tough but good people. had their new DM in for recall work . they stood over my shoulder watched every move i made not to spill drop of oil on the newly painted rims! yes they took the brand new wheels off and painted the rims again.

I go through Middlebury almost daily and see the "show trucks " ; have to wonder : who's having a parade today!
