More reasons why I ONLY watch the Weather Channel. At least there are a few babes to watch, even if they don't wear hose.

Tom, Better get to a doctor and get one of them there "injection kits" that counteract bee stings. A good friend of mine almost died as a result of a yellow jacket sting. He had been stung several times previously without any issues but then one time he was stung and passed out. Wife called 911.

Companies spend millions of dollars to develop and refine the Diesel engine so it does not smoke. Then the dang kids screw with them and make them smoke. Question I have is "why is it okay for new pickups to be modified so they smoke but it is NOT okay for a semi to smoke"?

Welcome to BMT. Nice B...no rust. I always liked Tucson. May be my winter home in a few years.

Wilbur, Concerning the inability to post a link...are you using IE11?

Happy Birthday mini-Mack. .....and many more.

Contact the Mack Museum. Perhaps they can tell you the original vendor and part number.

Thanks for the pics. Someday I gotta' visit the Flood Museum. I remember reading/studying about it in PA History class. Come back and visit central PA again. There are many things to see and do.

Tom, The yellow B and trucks belong to Tim Hoover of Saltsburg, PA. He owns a quarry there and is always at Watt's Truck Show. I think I remember him attending Gerhart's and Macungie. Thanks for the disk...Canton address works!

Thanks again Tom for attending our show and posting pics. Too bad you could not stay all day. Many more vehicles arrived after lunch. I was not able to take many pics since I was busy with the show. BTW, it was the Keystone Chapter Show of the ATCA....not ATHS.

Are you talkin' about me? I have an exemption number "FMCSA 390.3 (f)(3)" on the side of my MH. Basically it states you are only using the truck for personal use and not for hire. You are not getting paid and that includes prize money, trophies, etc. It is not licensed as an Antique (1992 model) but as a commercial vehicle. Since it is not an antique (25 years old) I put the exemption number on the side to hopefully eliminate any questions. If your vehicle is licensed as an Antique you should not need an exemption. But as others have stated, check with your local DMV.

Tom, Good to see you and the wifey on Saturday morning. And thanks for posting pics of the show. There were a total of 76 vehicles (trucks, tractors, etc.) by Saturday afternoon but about half left by evening. Sunday a few more units showed but mostly spectators. Weather was sunny and warm with a short shower on Sunday afternoon. We are starting to plan next year's show. P.S. If anyone is interested in the B fire truck (2300 miles) I will get the phone number....no price, make offer.

Happy Birthday and many more. Enjoy your day.

A friend sent me this information... Hello 2015 taxpayers here are more new punishments for working and investing in this country As a brief reminder for those who forgot or for many that didn't know. Here is what happened, quietly, on January 1, 2015: Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35% Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6% PUNISH THE WORKERS....TO REWARD THE NON WORKERS Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2% MORE PUNISHMENT FOR WORKING HARD! Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28% MORE TAX UPON INCOME THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN TAXED! Dividend tax went from 15% to 39.6% MORE PUNISHMENT FOR INVESTING WISELY AND MAKING GOOD DECISIONS! Estate tax went from 0% to 55% PUNISHMENT FOR SAVING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION! ONLY TO HAVE IT GO TO THE GOVERNMENT! A 3.5% Real Estate transaction tax was added. MORE PUNISHMENT FOR INVESTING IN A HOME OR RENTAL PROPERTY! Remember this fact: These taxes were all passed solely with Democrat votes, Not a single Republican voted for these new taxes. These taxes were all passed in the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. If you think that it is important that everyone in the U.S. should know this, the many millions who don't yet, then pass it on.

MH parts book calls them a "plug". The MH plugs are plain without the word MACK.

Happy Birthday JT and others. Enjoy your day.

I guess no one "likes" the same picture posted previously (with most of the people identified) in the Macungie Show thread. I am done...

Barry, Thanks for the reminder. Yes only one (1) month until the show in Martinsburg, PA (~18 miles south and east of Altoona). Last year was the first year it was held at the MCMP and was a great success. Looking for a repeat this year. Hope to see you there.

Sorry you got "left" out!

If the Lord is willing and the creeks don't rise, I will be there...mud or no mud.

Most (if not all) the stacked trucks I see are Dodge Cummins. Cummins 6cyl is the "fart in a can" of pickups. Perhaps Ford Powerstroke and GM Duramax owners have more brains and common sense? Nothing beats the sound of a V8 Diesel.

Since no one posted a BMT nooner pic, here is one that Tom's wife Debbie took. Thanks Tom!
