EXCELLENT!!

Yea, nice memorabilia but mine will not be in my pocket. It will be next to my other Mack items.

Actually there were a total of six (6) but who's counting. Maybe I should have asked for a quick polish?

GD, you have a valid point....How about "Best Looking A$$ In a Pair of Jeans"????

Doug - in your defense, you were not the only "kid". Next time, we all wear sunglasses to T-K. That should attract some attention!

In honor of one of our esteemed BMT members "other dog", a new show category has been estabished "Best A$$ ". Here is my nomination...

Doug - I did not know you had a trailer!

Starting a new post for 2013 Trucktoberfest pictures. Another GREAT show! Thanks to Mack and the people at the Mack Museum for hosting this event. The weather was nice (sunny with cool breeze) but all-in-all a GREAT day! The only "glitch" was the parade. A few of us decided to get in line early. Well that was a mistake. As several decided to "jump the gun" and start the parade early. NOTE: I was not one of them. Don had to flag in the group. Don was not a happy camper (SORRY DON!!!). However, the parade started early so we could start for home. I arrived home about 8p. The only issue was I stopped by Love's Truck Stop on I-78 for a splash of fuel. The State was repaving the ramps. The west bound ramp was closed so I had to drive seven (7) miles east and turn around. This added about 30 minutes to my trip. But bottomline is I made it home SAFELY.

I like the looks of the chrome rim but also prefer aluminum. Would an aluminum rim work on a Dayton spider or does it have to be steel? Has anyone tried "chrome" paint?

On Friday I helped Doug move some new Macks (6 if I remember correctly) for display at Trucktoberfest. All of them were AUTO!

Actually it was me keeping an eye on Doug. He was like a kid in a candy shop!

Some things you have to live with!

She had to bring in "reinforcements" to handle the ole Farmer!

This pose makes her cleavage look bigger. I told Doug to try blowing on the valves to inflate them.

PM me the "local watering hole". I may have to stop in for a "cup of coffee".

I am going for "dessert". And of course to see the BMT crowd.

Too dang cold to be workin' in a bikini. Today with snow flurries and cold wind I had flannel jeans, sweatshirt, cap, and gloves on while spit shinning the trailer.

Looks like the front of a U-Haulit.

Earlier in the week I cleaned off the bugs on the front of the MH from the Lititz trip. Today (with snow flurries flying) I cleaned the front of the trailer (more bugs from the Lititz trip). Now the sides and rear look like crap. Took the MH and filled the tank (40 gallons = $150). Temp is to get down to 30 tonight but if the ole MH starts I will be headed east on Friday morning. I plan to be in Fogelsville around noon. I will give Don a call and see if I can drop the trailer at the Customer Center on Friday afternoon. See y'all at TKs around 6pm. Have a safe trip everyone!

Vinny - you can choose to believe/ignore most of what is said but what 84SD states is 1000% correct. Look at the mother and grandmother! Not just physical attributes but also mental attributes.

Nice video. I don't grind gears that bad except when trying to find a lower gear at slow speeds. Questions about the RH drive B's - Are the instrument panel and glove box interchangeable? They look similar. Speaking of Ben...I have not seen Ben nor Tim on the site recently.

I am reminded why I DO NOT watch TV!

Wednesday? Hump Day? Three (3) days till Trucktoberfest? The first day of the rest of our lives? Birthday? Anniversary?

Doug - do you know what time Trucktoberfest will end on Saturday? Is there an evening dinner or just a noon luncheon? I am debating whether to drive home on Saturday night. I am considering changing my arrival plans (if I can get the hotel reservations changed without a fee) to arrive on Friday. Perhaps I can "wait out" the rain/snow and drive the MH.

You bring up a good point. I plan to drop the headliner and take a look, also look in the sleeper area for speaker wiring, etc. The parts book shows the wiring harnesses but that does not mean they are actually installed in the truck. I am guessing Mack made one wiring harness to accommodate all variations (which in my opinion is a smart move). I found "connectors" for other accessories (not installed on my truck).
