It seems Barry, Reid and the fellow "party members" only care about the destruction of the Republican opposition, parliamentary procedure and constitutional laws mean nothing. The Fiscal collapse, the loss of 1,5 to 2 million jobs are all instantly the ammunition needed to say it is the "Republicans fault for this, give us the power to prevent this from continuing further". The Main stream media, Twitter and Face Book posts, the campaigning are nothing more to garner a biased public opinion against "O's" enemies and show the "gimmies" he's looking out for them. Obama's only reason the to insist on raising the tax rates is because he knows it will destroy Republican unity. It will cause a complete fracture of the Republican majority in the House. It will give him a Congress that he can bully and manipulate for the next two years , because the Republicans will be fragmented and powerless. In the end the media and most of the "Gimmes" will give Barry a free pass to do as he wishes for more entitlements and with a damaged and uncredible Republican party pictured as reckless and obstructive will be ignored. Just my views on this. Paul

AMEN to that!!! Got plenty of time for "other things'' down the road. Paul

Gun Owners of America Stop Dirty Harry from Ramming Gun Control Down our Throats The Washington Post headline pretty much says it all: “Obama backs [Harry] Reid’s filibuster reform effort.” Wonder why? Why, for instance, would Barack Obama support Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s efforts to change the Senate rules, by brute force, so that it would be easier? To implement the UN Arms Trade Treaty to register, ban, and microstamp firearms? To reinstate the semi-auto ban? Or, to allow Obama to turn anyone into a “prohibited person” and take away their guns, simply by putting them on a secret “watch list”? To ask such questions is to answer them. The political Left would love to disarm us all and take away our guns. To wit, the nation had to endure Bob Costas’ rant over the weekend when he essentially suggested that otherwise law-abiding people shouldn’t have guns. Click hear to see GOA Executive Director Larry Pratt’s answer and rebuke to Bob Costas for his ill-informed comments in the wake of the Javon Belcher suicide. But, in order to push a progressive agenda through the Senate, Reid is first going to have to use his deceptive “cheat scheme” in order to change the Senate rules to make it easier to pass the Left’s anti-gun initiatives. By eliminating the filibuster (on the motion to take up legislation), Reid intends to eliminate our most effective way to kill a bad anti-gun bill -- that is, by weakening or eliminating the time-honored filibuster that makes the Senate so different from the House. But, even more important, if Reid uses the “nuclear option,” as he’s threatening to do, the Senate no longer has any binding rules. The majority can pass any gun legislation it wants, at any time, by brute force, with 51 votes. So, did your Senator run for re-election by telling you he or she supported the Second Amendment? Well, this is their chance to prove it -- or to show you that they’re nothing but bald-faced liars. There will be no gun vote during the 113th Congress that will be more important than the rules votes. And that is why it’s imperative that ALL GUN GROUPS are fighting this attempt to nuke the filibuster rules. Please contact any gun organization that you belong to and ask them if they are actively lobbying against Dirty Harry’s efforts to weaken the filibuster … and against any attempt by him to ram gun control down the throats of the American people! ACTION: Click here to write your Senators. Insist that they vote against the anti-gun proposals to change the Senate rules. And don’t forget to urge ANY and ALL pro-gun groups that you are affiliated with to take similar action, as well.

Neat! Hemmings Classic Car had an article on Doug Fetterly and his Macks a few issues ago too.

BWAAA HAAA HAAA

I see a bit of remorse for some now .... http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/12/03/obama-20-even-more-reckless-with-america-fiscal-future/?intcmp=trending

37 years married last April Fools day... wish you the same looong marriage too. Paul

Have a good "B" day

Nice photos! Iowa 80 has a nice museum...bar none. Be in touch by the weekend. Paul

Thought a mud flap was for mud wrestlers to go in and out of the ring,,,,

The people who push separation of church and state do not realize the intended meaning if the law. Now if the do not want anything from the government with any reference to God on it, the best stop taking that filthy money that says "IN GOD WE TRUST" on it.

What does the temp gauge read? Does the truck go to the normal operating temperature range? Do you have defrost and other functions on the dash controls? If it is operating in the normal range and you have full functions of AC, defrost and vent, I would look at the blend door to see if it is fully going to heat. That setting with the dash controls as that is what varies you temp. Paul

"I will not agree to any of the Republican plans or offers, the tax increases and job losses will be entirely the fault of the Republicans " Obama 12/01/2012

Mike, how many are AC specific? Some of the ones in Dons photo are for chain drive adjustment and trans axle service and ? The wood tool box is neat, know what year it is? Paul

Money maker for the owner, trust the CB.

AC Macks had the IM letters on the hood til the end, The International Motor Company was reorganized in 1916 and the Mack Truck Company was created as a holding comp[any for the I.M.C. and Sauer brands. Those tools marked IM are early 1916 or older. Like I said I hit the PIG Iron venders at swap meets and also farm sales and auctions. Reason being is most tool set ended up in the shop or barn for general use and almost never stayed with the truck is it was to be sold or put out to pasture. Now at least I know basically what I need to find for my AC's. When I looked for the tool set for my 1941 Chevrolet, I found the same style pliers and ball peen hammer under my parents sink. My pops tool box was loaded with Ford script tools from the 20's, 30's and 40's too. Paul

A real speed shop that sell Bully Dog or Banks Truck accessories will have the goodies you need. Including aluminum tube if you want it. Paul

Mack Museum says Mack Script on one side and the other has either Leslie , Niagara or Peerless on it depending on year and contract lot. After 1933 Mack drop forged most of their own tools til WWII. This gives me an idea what to search for at Hersey and other swap meets. I always look for "pig iron" tools for trucks and Indian motor cycles. This is the first time I actually know what is in the full AC tool kit. Paul

???

Got this info from Don at Mack. The tools that came with it less the 12inch monkey wrench, a 7/8 inch spark plug socket and bar, a large Philips screw driver, a large flat blade screw driver, a small 4 to 6 ounce ball peen hammer and a pair of pliers. Most are made by the Niagara Forge Co and Leslie Tool Co. Hope the info helps my fellow AC owners. Paul

One note on powder coating. Cover any threaded stud or bolt hole or you will end up with grief. The powder coating is a bit&h to remove so you can install nuts or bolts. I learned that the hard way on my AC rear axle and trans-axle assemblies. Paul

Almost no over seas military votes accepted, computers logging votes against what was entered and 5 days after Hurricane Sandy of nothing but Barry in the media saving us...and zero coverage of Mitt except a sarcastic photo of him helping with donated food stuffs. A bit biased?? Philly was said to have voted 100% for him, yet I know quite a few people who did not vote for him there and 1/2 of Florida votes didn't count?A "gentleman" in OHIO who posted he voted 4 times at 4 different polling places and was going to vote at more places "to be sure Obama wins" A district in Maine was listed as 100% voting for Obama...when nobody voted there at all. Romney conceded minutes after the polls closed....all just too neatly wrapped up in my opinion...but I voted for Mitt and I did my part ,my conscience is clear. The other get what they deserve, just ashame we are being taken down with them. Paul

Yeah, the freestuff "person next door explained that the Republicans blocked his budgets for 2000 days..When I asked him how,when Barry and the dems owned both houses for 2 years...I got the typical glare and the stomp away act.
