  1. Never thought of taking pics. I generally don't have a camera handy and have no idea how to get photos from my phone to my computer.
  2. Can you do something to the slum lord in thge white house??
  3. Running on choke makes up for one of 2 main things a vacuum leak or a clogged idle circut in the carberator between the idle mixture screws and the venturi You can use propane to check for vacume leaks around the carb base, intake and any and all vacum ports and lines. The photo shows the propane set up I use. Start the engine and let idle as best you can. Open the valve of a propane torch. Do not ignite it; just open it so that a bit of propane gas can escape the tip. Propane is a "heavy gas" so it will flow in to areas you test Run the tip of the propane torch along your intake manifold, checking for vacuum leaks in various locations such as the tubes and gaskets. Go along the entire manifold. Listen for a change in your engine’s idling. The idling should change immediately after you pass over a leak with the tip of the propane torch. The reason the idling changes is because the engine will suck in the propane through the leak, providing the engine with more fuel. Also check the Vacuum wiper motors, wiper switches and lines to them. Check the Vacuum booster and lines if you ave vacuum assist brakes Some fuel pumps also have a vacuum pump on them for wipers and such. If you do check that also. Paul
  4. Interesting. Whose set up it the tarp rack?
  5. Luckly they're going to put in a world class Gof Course and ultra luxury condos in, hopefully for the politcos. Montawk Monster comes from Camp Hero on the South Fork of Long Island home also of HARP.
  6. Welcome to the family. Paul
  7. Things we learned from the heaings today about the actions of Obama, Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and the unbiased news . It's not a broken promise, if you never menat to keep it, on keeping your doctor and health plan. Sebeilius does not anwer to the American People or any body else demanding info or her resignation. She only answers to the man who hired her. . . Barak Obama. The Insurance web site failed not from incompenance from the contractor, BUT because of the incomplete National Healh Records Data Base the GWB presidency legislated to be created and . Millions have gone to the sign up site to the tune of 55000 per hour . . . 24 hours a day. As far as HHS knows no ones insurance rates or deductables have gone up and no body has lost their coverage in fact costs have gone down and coverage has gone up. No one has had their hours cut back to beat the ACA as far as HHS and the White House knows employers have added jobs since the ACA started.
  8. Stop by for cake and a beer at 6 , Happy Birthday!
  9. It glowed and sparkled in the micro wave . . . is that bad??

  11. Working on the Eastern tip of Long Island , Orient Point Ferry Terminal sea wall and jetties.

My cousin got a 31 inch 14 pounder we bar b qued up for lunch. Paul
  12. I fear the only answer is going to be armed. You seriously believe that he will just leave? The king now has the power of declaring martial law, the king has appointed a committe to "monitor elections and their results, his 30 million "new" citizens who will be convinced how they owe him. Yes I'm worried and put nothing past him.
  13. whooo hooo! Congrats!!
  14. I think the later models wend down to 6 on the hardware count . Steel nose to me says MACK!
  15. Fenders hinge forward and as for weight the steel nose is actually a bit lighter. The big draw back is unbolting the cab end of the fenders, to tip them, 4 bolts in each side. TMore time than just 2 latches and tilt the whole nose.
  16. BWAAAHAHAAAAAA!!!!
  17. A lot of the referbished armor and weaponry has been moved to Fort Lee, Virginia, some is on loan to The American Armor Museum in Virginia a few tranport vehicles were loaned to the U.S. Army Ground Transport Museum in Virginia and some of the WWII German Armor is on permanant loan the the German Armor Museum in Munster, Germany. What it left there is not money to "sanitize" it per new EPA regulations for Lead, Asbestos and Depleted Uranium contamination of the Iraqi vehicles. . .SAD
  18. Have a really Great Birthday. Enjoy it any way you want to.
  19. Looks better than the Bus he's selling. . . Scary!
  20. M A K E S M Y H E A D H U R T At least it's not a Mack!
  21. O bamama said in one of his recient pep talks that when his daughter got meningitis him and moose worried about being able to pay her medical bills , but now under ACA the first family has insurance. . . And the puppets on stage cheered him.... As for the Feds, I guess one has to be over 60 to remember the Preamble to our Declaration of Independence...since I fear our children and grandchildren haven't been taught the history of how we got to be who we are...so let me share with you: "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
  22. I had a girl literally run into my right rear tires. She said she never saw them. . .they're 10 x 24's on a Omaha Orange DM. Hell, you can see that color from space! On the down side just saw an ad for a 2014 Mecedes. It has heated bead massage seats (piggy stuff?), Mood lighting and Aroma Therapy through the AC vents. . .so you can relax and have your favorite smells. Heated or chilled cup holders and 25 TWENTY FIVE!! speakers for the Concert Hall sound system. Also a one touch e mail or texting on a heads up display and controlled of the "inter active voice or touch messaging center" on the steering wheel. More crap to distract you.
  23. Clayton in Jersey had a lot on belt discharge mixers, I think they were still running a few when the Freedom Bridge was done. Paul
  24. I usually get the tail gater flashing lights and weaving back and forth like a kite tail, when I'm in the right lane doing the speed limit...I fight the urge to drop it down a gear, back off and feel the bump.
