So we subsidize the solar and the "green" refueling stations and he gets tax breaks, If the system works he's a "visionary" and makes money operating them and still get the subsidies and tax breaks. If the fail, he's a dreamer with no loses of his own. . Either way he really in a win win situation. .

Interesting item on the cash for clunkers program, 90% of the vehicles traded in under the program were replaced with new SUV's and Urban pick ups.

DM 400 popular for mixers.

I sent the info to the Huntington Manor F.D. Chief and membership. Paul

Oh Gail,, remember you wanted some trees topped and I said I needed a longer ladder? Well I found one in Florida! NAAH she'd never buy that!

Ask my wife about the aluminum cylinder head in her oven and the "birds eye" frozen valve seats in her freezer she somehow found in her kitchen one day when she was getting ready to cook dinner . . .

San Francisco Examiner Monday July 31, 2017 By Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez San Francisco’s collection of 32 antique fire-fighting vehicles is probably one of its best-kept historical secrets, all in the care of the nonprofit Guardians of The City. Want to see a “hose cart” that saved San Francisco from flames in 1850? They’ve got it. How about a 75-foot “water tower” on wheels, used to douse the 1906 fire following the earthquake? You bet. Maybe take a trip down memory lane with a 1958 cherry-red fire engine? That too. Here’s the catch: You can’t see any of the vehicles because the collection is essentially homeless. Guardians of The City is pulling the proverbial fire alarm and calling on San Francisco to find a home where people can visit this beautiful vintage collection. The group will present its dilemma to the Fire Commission on Wednesday night. James Lee, a retired firefighter and chair member of Guardians’ board, told me he hopes the Fire Commission and the mayor will help find a permanent residence for the vehicles. “We’re going hat in hand” to city leaders, he said. You see, San Francisco actually owns most of the collection but hasn’t found it a home. Right now, the fire apparatus are essentially “couch-surfing” in an Academy of Art garage on Jerrold Avenue. Prior to that, the collection of machines that spans from 1820 to 1992 bipped and bopped from facility to facility, from Treasure Island to the Bayview. But time in open-air garages led to weather damage. In 2014, the estimated value of the collection was $2,647,500. After a few damp winters, the new estimated value is $1,437,080. A San Francisco native raised “where the fog meets the mountain” west of Twin Peaks, Lee sadly noted, “Some of it is beyond repair.” As a fellow San Francisco native with pride in my hometown, I should point out that last year was the 150th anniversary of the fire department — a missed opportunity to seek aid to house the collection, if there ever was one. Even Willie Brown, Da (former) Mayor turned columnist, said “absolutely” the vehicles should be preserved, due to “the amount of lives lost over the years and the amount of attention, and pride, everyone has in the fire department.” I reached out to Mayor Ed Lee’s office, and spokesperson Ellen Canale told me, “San Francisco is committed to preserving and protecting pieces of history that tell the story of our city.” Even that endorsement may be enough to push for action. San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes White told me in a statement, “The Department supports identifying and securing space to house and protect our vintage apparatus, which is an important piece of our history.”

That's why I suggested a VIN confirmation. With only 2 years production and 4,974 total production of the MACK badged REO units' MACK records show only 12 or 14 Juniors as firetrucks built by the MACK plant in L.I. City. Austin Clarke ( heir to the Jack Frost sugar empire) would of modify and combine vehicles to display and use. When the museum was out of favor with the Town of South Hampton in 1967 A lot was given away to friends and some went to the Henry Ford Museum.The Chiefs car which was a 1941 Cadillac Coupe was given to South Hampton and his 2 NYC Double Decker buses went to Bridge Hampton Race track. His truck and fire vehicles went to Bill Harrah in Reno in 1978 and some ALFs and Peerless to Bill Anderson also in Nevada When he closed the museum for good in 1980 the balance of cars were auctioned off...

a few years ago I paid $120 for a NOS early B model (?) with the pin for my mixer.

81 years things change. Paul

Stock number 3638 Contact them about it. Explain who you represent / are. VIN if you have it would confirm or deny if it is originally from NYS. Paul. https://hymanltd.com/vehicles/3638-1936-mack-junior-firetruck/ Hyman LTD 2310 Chaffee Drive, St. Louis, MO 63146 314.524.6000 | 314.692.0380

I may be able to get a list from the man in Glen Head who has all of Mr Clarke's paper work and files. When he died there was an auction at his estate in Brookvilleof over 75 vehicles, but the papers and files went to Mr Berliner III. I'll call him this weekend for you. Paul

About the time my posts mysteriously disappeared?

I believe your truck was at Austin Clarke's Long Island Auto Museum in the Hampton's in the early late 1950's-1960's. Mr Clarke had a passion for fire trucks, buses and antique trucks. Paul

Happy birthday, my friend! Enjoy the day. Paul

Thanks for the mouth full of coffee on the monitor LMAO

8 years of a trans-gender 1st ''lady'' ?

We were told when we did Rte 66 15 years ago, that "it's hot,but it's a dry heat".

A drunk? You have called me a loser for being drafted, a murderer for being in Vietnam, a cracker for having Christian values, un educated for being a conservative, you have called my wife and I names, attacked us and called us names for living in Israel for a few years, accused me of screwing my sister,called my children morons, attacked my family for being conservative, god fearing Americans, attacked me and my family for being gun owners, called me a racist, anti, gay clinger, holding my bible and guns, you have told me to put the dope away and get clean. You have now completed the list by calling me a drunk. You get a cookie. I was raised with Christian and traditional family values.I do not drink,use tobacco, or do any form of drugs (here's fuel for you to attack me with. . .it is against my religious beliefs). I was raised and my children were raised to respect people and there views whether agreeable or not. It is pitifully clear that you were not raised with any of those basic values and I don't hold you accountable for that.. I do have a small comment to your latest attack. Un strap your computer balls and place them back in your little toy box, ô môi. I suggest you try to learn some basic peolpe skills and understanding to interact with all types of people, You know, the things most civilized people are taught as children.

They both look like Heil F1 / F1A 4000 gallon USAF pattern refueling trailers.

Nice to see 1 or both of 2 people removed most all my posts. Third thread this has happened too. Seems when she attacks you and the other protects her from you defending yourself. Maybe I should race bait and name call and play the poor retired woman. The 2 of you, (one of who I went to bat for with Barry when there was a posting issues) are crap now in my book. Now when you read this either of you or both can feel free to dump this post too.

Happy Birthday!!

Looks in nice condition and not really abused. Like the choice of rear suspension too. Paul

Model EE In Production 1938-1950 Total made 9,719
