wheel neat idea -
Doing break water, sea wall construction we occasionally need to pull a barge and crane up on shore to position it. Originally used my DM with an 80,000 lb Garwood winch from a M88 tank recovery unit but the 30,000 with a snatch block works just a well and it 500 lbs lighter. Paul

I flew to L.I. this afternoon to do the Barbecue for the Long Island Veterans Home and to put flags and pennies on the grave markers at Calverton National Cemetery. Wasn't going to do the feed for the Vets this year, but felt guilty about letting my fellow vets down. So tomorrow and Sunday my son and grandson will be cooking our butts off. Remember Memorial Day is for the Hero's who made the Supreme Gift to us. . .their lives for our freedom. Take a moment to remember them during the weekend. A coin left on a headstone lets the deceased soldier's family know that somebody stopped by to pay their respect. Leaving a penny means you visited. A nickel means that you and the deceased soldier trained at boot camp together. If you served with the soldier, you leave a dime. A quarter is very significant because it means that you were there when that soldier died." While this isn’t officially recognized or endorsed by the military, these tiny pieces of metal say a lot about those who bravely defended our freedom. The coins are gathered up by the cemetery and go into a fund for flags markers.

This is a Dayton 30,000 plus on my M920 150 ft of 3/4 cable. Two stage planetary gear box. Entire package ran me $9000 at my door . It replaced the Garwood it came with only because of Daytons bigger spool. http://Hosted on Fotkihttp://Hosted on Fotki

Hawaii has Laid the Groundwork to Seize Guns 05/16/2018 G.O.A. by: Matt Vespa States are seen as the laboratories for democracy. They can be places to cite great public policy successes and highlight the many horrible failures. As more Democratic states adopt more anti-gun policies, there are fears that the groundwork for confiscation is being set. Of all places, you would think that California, or New York, would be the place that Second Amendment rights advocates fear would be the test area for such policies. Nope. It’s actually Hawaii. The Aloha State is the first in the country that requires its gun-owning residents to enter a federal database (via NRA Hunters): Hawaii’s new law requires current and future gun owners to register in the FBI’s “Rap Back” system. The FBI calls it their Next Generation Identification Program, which is currently used to track the actions of people who are part of ongoing criminal investigations. If someone enrolled in the database has contact with law enforcement, an alert is issued through the FBI. Now the program will be used to track the actions of all law-abiding gun owners in Hawaii—and not just residents. SB 2954 requires law enforcement to request a “Rap Back” on anyone requesting a firearm license or registering a firearm. Translation: Hunters who intend to visit Hawaii to hunt will find themselves enrolled in an FBI database meant for criminals. Two other additions to the state’s gun control legislation are found in House Bill 2629. One prohibits anyone convicted of certain stalking offenses from owning firearms. The other requires law-abiding gun owners who have been diagnosed with “a significant behavioral, emotional or mental disorder, or due to emergency or involuntary admission to a psychiatric facility” to surrender their firearms and ammunition. If they do not comply, their local police chief can seize the guns and ammo. Claims have been made to the effect that the new laws are about the “community’s safety and responsible gun ownership” and merely ensure the security of Hawaii residents and visitors. However, it is clear Hawaii has become the first state to enable a federal registry of lawful gun owners, tracking their movements and laying the groundwork for confiscation.

This is just an other step to gentrify the males, make them docile and not libel to oppose any changes or rebel. Most have no father or positive male roll model to teach them any male skills. The reasoning is that feminizing boys will take the "violent" tendencies away...appears to be working well NOT. The Scouts started changing their image when Clinton was president. It was him who declared the Scout a "para military" group because they wore military style uniforms and learned survival skills.

A quick pass with the Sheriff leading me and the Scoopmobile to adjust their living quarters fixed that. I than moved them down the road to Gladys where they burned down a shed.

The high paying jobs will be for the people who can do basic math with a pencil, count change, spell real words not text gibberish and use a rotary phone. I have one in my office, funny to watch someone try to figure out how to use it.

Got a Road Atlas, pencil and pad to make route notes and Kletus the phone (up graded from cans and string system). No GPS, Smart Phone, no Apps and no issues getting lost.

Mack wheel rims on a 31 Peter Pirsch ?
41chevy replied to John R. Thomas's topic in Driveline and Suspension
At that time the rims and spiders could have been manufactured by Good Year, Budd or a few others. The early ones a extremely dangerous and WILL easily kill or maim you if you don't 1) have the knowledge and 2) the proper tools. They don't call those rims Widow Makers for nothing. Have you called a truck tire service that does big rigs? -
This Pepsi Truck Took a Wrong Turn and Wound Up Stuck on a New England Beach Sean McKenna May 21, 2018 Ciaran Hynes via Facebook Sometimes you really just want to skip work and head to the beach, right? Sure, we can all dream, but this Pepsi truck's Friday, May 18, cruise down on the sand turned out to be more of a nightmare. @7News check this out. Pepsi truly in the splash zone!! pic.twitter.com/ARvOo5tldy According to Channel 7 Boston, WHDH, the driver of the tractor-trailer was out on delivery, took a wrong turn, and wound up at Pavilion Beach in Gloucester, Massachusetts. In an attempt to turn around, the news station reported, the vehicle got stuck. And to make matters worse, the tide was reportedly rising as well. Thankfully, things turned out OK in the end as a tow truck was called before the tractor-trailer became a boat. And the news station also said that the driver was able to get back on the road to work not long after. Look, we've all missed that turn or gone left when we should have gone right. We get it. It happens.

Geezer recalls the cocktail lounges of his early years
41chevy replied to grayhair's topic in Odds and Ends
My Fathers Place in Roslyn N.Y. lot of soon to be famous Rock Bands got their start there. The Iron Horse in Glen Head Biker bar when cycles had a bad image. Cloud Nine also in Glen Head Big name groups played there in the late 60's early 70's , like Mountain, Country Joe and Warren Zevon. Mimi's and Mimi's II on Boulevard Nguyen Hue in Saigon. Cheap beer and best looking Gai Diem girls. The owner had probably the only 1969 Boss 429 Mustang in Asia. -
Mack wheel rims on a 31 Peter Pirsch ?
41chevy replied to John R. Thomas's topic in Driveline and Suspension
The rims are Sterling from about 1928 or so. Pirsch used Sterling and International for some parts around 1930 and later. A better close up photo of the rim would help. Paul -
5th wheel slide fault and lightning bolt
41chevy replied to wallyf's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Check fuse F8 fuse in the top panel. That fuse controls "Air Solenoids" all 4 of those switches actuate solenoids so it would stand to reason that none of them worked. The 5th wheel slide however is the only one of the group of 4 that will throw an actual code If it is not a fuse , there was a service bulletin on it TSB 364-038, something to do with VECU programing parameters. I'd check the fuses first. -
THIS ALL goes with the Democrat's and media defending the poor MS-13 members. Like Elizabeth Warren stated "they are gang members because nobody ever took the time to respect and love them. Never the criminals fault it's always the way society treated them. A number of years ago I did a job in one of "their" areas because no other company would take the job. I hired 3 off duty cops as armed guards for us and each truck had a co driver with a Mossberg Defender loaded with Flechette rounds in plain view.

Hire bottom feeders and screw ups as contract workers, pay lowest percentage possible per load, push for the highest number of loads for minimum money, add the threat of being docked your percentage or fired for not running your a$$ off and this is what you get. Paul
