I think they copied that idea from Dodge Ram.

Vinny, How about a video of a startup with the bucket on the stack. I want to see how high it blows.

I did not take it as an insult. I was just stating the "good old days" of "dreaming" are gone. You are right....shitholders. Oh, and let's not forget the EPA and the government/regs.

Being a retired engineer it is my humble opinion the days of "dreaming" are gone. If a project does not have a "payback" or "commercial viability" it does not get worked on. If "management" does not approve a project, it gets put in the dumper. At most companies, there was a "skunk works" to do "what if" stuff. Now it is all about pleasing the "stakeholders/investors".

Lookin' good Vinny!

Yep, saw the same thing today on my MH.

Reasons 1-10 - You should get facebook if you have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE TO DO!

Make sure you get the cereal number.

Anyone planning to attend this show? The forecast is "isolated thunderstorms" on Saturday and "scattered thunderstorms" on Sunday. Temps both days in the upper 70s. The show grounds is grass and has a few wet spots. I plan to be there most of the day on Saturday (family picnic at 1p) and most of Sunday. Mrs. Farmer will be in attendence for a few hours on Saturday morning (that should draw a crowd). Hope to see some BMT members attend. BMT photo at noon Saturday.

Welcome! Vinny is the resident U model extraordinaire.

Thanks for posting Ben. Facebook is a complete waste of time in my opinion. I am still trying to decide if Linkedin is worth my time.

At least it is not a Mack.

Road trip Larry? Offer him less since the "dogs" are pointing the wrong direction.

As was mentioned previously....we like pics!!

Welcome fellow Buckeye to BMT.

I was able to get a print of the front shock used on my MH. The print listed the Monroe part number so I ordered it from a parts warehouse at a lower price than Mack wanted for the same part.

If so, I think I passed the test.

Stopped by the North Canton CVS this morning for my DOT physical. I was the first one in the door. The cute little blonde (Kimberly) no longer works there. However, there was a "reasonably" attractive female Nurse Practitioner (Leslie) on duty. Usual stuff and then she asked if I wanted a hernia check. I said "your call" (I didn't want to appear over anxious). She said it was advised. So I smiled and dropped my shorts. She took her time checking for a hernia and "checked out the boys". MOF, the "major" was starting to stand at attention just as she finished. She did not have anyone "witness" the check. I passed the physical with no problems. So I am good for another two (2) years. Leslie mentioned a "new girl" is starting in a few weeks. I may have to go back for a retest. $104 with urine test. Life is good!

Ernie, Wishing your son the best in his upcoming surgery. I will say a prayer for him and his family.

A friend emailed me this article. Don't get me started on the media and "race card"!

It finally reopened recently. Do you think FHOF had anything to do with the reopening?

Agreed, ULSD can have a "greenish" tint to it but it is still "clear".

It is my understanding that DOT will take a sample and have it analyzed (if they see "dark" fuel).

Caterpillar had at least two (2) on-highway tractors in the early 70s. They along with John Deere also experimented with gas turbines in off-highway equipment. CAT had a dedicated "turbine R&D building" at the Techical Center in Mossville.

Caterpillar tested a few gas turbine powered on-highway trucks.
