  1. Ditto for poison ivy!
  2. If I knew you were going to Phoenix you could have picked up a trailer!
  3. What was the problem?
  4. Thanks Tom!!
  5. Received this from a friend... These 11 States now have More People on Welfare than they do Employed: Alabama California Hawaii Illinois Kentucky Maine Mississippi New Mexico New York Ohio South Carolina
  6. Leslie - what is the gross weight of the tractor and trailer? My MH weighs 14K# and I licensed it for 26,000#. My OH commercial license fee is about $200 per year. 26K gets you in under the CDL limit. Not sure if PA has similar weight/license fees. If you are only planning to pull only your camper, that is what I would suggest. Then use the FMCSA exemption 390.3(f)(3) - not for hire, personal use. DISCLAIMER - of course I am flying by the seat of my pants and hoping my system works. BTW, if I license my truck at 26,001# the fee almost doubles ($385). P.S. I am looking to buy a 28' van trailer and plan to put living quarters in the front. Then I am going to try and license it as a Motor Home. I am sure that will open up another can of worms. Why can't the states let us enjoy our hobby and not treat us like a trucking business?
  7. Personally I like the female hitchhikers. I just wish I would see some female hitchhikers when I am driving!
  8. Hmmm, sounds like a personal problem to me!
  9. I foresee a FOR SALE sign on the ole B! And no female hitchhikers....oh I forgot, the Amish girls ride bicycles rather than hitchhike.
  10. Been reading the press about the fiscal stuff.....is there anyone in Washington DC that is worth a damn!!!!!!
  11. Welcome...but I think your website is "a little light" for our discussions.
  12. Happy Birthday everyone!
  13. Sorry to hear of your issues. Look at it this way, things can only get better. Mine started just before Christmas...wife had gall stone attack Sunday (23rd) and ended up in emergency room and hospital. Discharged Christmas morning. She went for a MRCP (closed MRI only) on Friday only to find you she is clusterfobic (sp?)(I know I am). Rescheduled MRI for this Friday (doctor ordered some medication). Ultimately my wife will have her gall bladder removed. Had my elderly mother with us in OH for Christmas. My mother and I returned to PA on Monday morning. She has to use a walker. Damned if she didn't start moving around the farm house without her walker, lost her balance, and fell flat on her back. Knocked her head on the chair. So off to the emergency room for X-rays and Cat scan. Nothing broke and a big black and blue spot on the back of her head. She is still in pain and has difficulty walking even with the walker. Taking her to a "care-giver's" house on Wednesday afternoon then I am going back to OH on Thursday. I have a doctor's appointments on Monday and I am not expecting a good report. Then back to PA for more doctor's appointments for mother. So 2012 ended crappy and 2013 started crappy. Like I said, things can only get better.
  14. Looks good! When do we get to sample the....the hot sauce!
  15. Wow! Reminds me of Midway airport and Southworst a few years ago.
  16. This truck and background look familiar!
  17. My head hurts trying to count the squares. I will just stick with T&A!
  18. Will this help? BTW, I used IE (PA computer) to attach the pic.
  19. Possibly valve guides and/or seals. How many "clicks" on the engine? Do you notice any oil leaking from the exhaust manifold? Is the oil only on the exhaust side of the turbo? Did you pull the inlet pipe off the turbo and look for oil on the turbo inlet?
  20. Leslie, I can relate...I have so much stuff in my garage I don't remember what I have. If I need something, I usually just go buy another one since it will take longer to dig thru the crap. But the moral of the story is...as long as there is room for the wifey's vehicle.
  21. You got the Dumba$$ part right! Anyway, glad you were able to get back home safely.
  22. It is done by voting but too many are on welfare or illegal voters to make a difference. I hope I am wrong. I am retired so you all can just send your money to me! I will spend it wisely (trucks, cars, tools, tractors, and wimmin)
