  1. I was friends with this older woman from the church that ran the food bank. She was diabetic, and got a non healing wound that took her off her feet for about 2 months. So she asked me to do her pickup route with my pickup truck until she got better. I hit like 3 supermarkets with bakeries and it would fill my entire 8 foot bed near to the top with food. All kinds of stuff, but so much bread, cakes, pastries, pies. I asked them what they do with it all when she doesn't come to get it, and they told me they toss it in the dumpster. Same deal though, it was all loaded in heaping carts on the loading dock.
  2. When I was about 22 or 23 I ran a superload all the way from Parkersburg WV, back to the eastern part of Pa on a big bad A Car 9964 with a 318 Detroit without any permits, because I figured I was on 8 axles and it was a weekend, so it wasn't a big deal lol.
  3. I use mine for, compressors, generators, pumps, storage trailers, office trailers, stuff like that. But back in the day I saw them on all kinds of stuff. I remember a big ready mix company near Trenton who had them on half their mixers
  4. “The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth. There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.” ― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
  5. Like my NJ Code 56 Registration. I think they are 150 bucks for 10 plates. And no specific piece of equipment listed. No GVW either So all you have to do is bolt them on whatever you want to move that day. Back in the day, guys in Philly would buy them, and run 5 heavy spec 10 wheel dumps on one pack of tags for 150 bucks. 1000 gallon tank of home heating oil at the yard, payroll done with envelopes full of cash, maybe half your drivers had licenses from Florida. It was a good time to be alive
  6. Well my car registration is low enough that it doesn't bother me. My truck registration is close to 3,000 bucks now. I've even had years where I have claimed the under 5,000 mile exemption on my 2290. Lots of times I'm just doing stuff like loading someone else's trailers, with one of my forklifts and taking them back to my yard. Then someone else picks them up and takes them where they are going. I have no interest in OTR hauling, never did it, never owned a sleeper cab, never slept in a sleeper in my life. Same goes the other way around. Lots of times I had trailer loads of structural steel dropped in my yard, and ran them out to the jobsite when they were needed, then decked the trailers, and brought them back to my yard
  7. All these records , miles in states, splitting up my money, but yet I who might run 15,000 miles a year, pay the same registration fee as a JB Hunt truck that might run 150,000 miles a year
  8. Remember Nero fiddling while Rome burned? Now we have Newsome
  9. They took this reservoir out of service just a short time ago because it had a tear in it's cover., knowing that it was right before fire season. That's like ripping the engine out of your snow plow truck late in November because it's burning a little bit of oil
  10. I'm sure the word salad he is spewing is going to fix things. This is the problem with guys like him, they think they can bullshit the fire into not burning.
  11. These cats are funny
  12. What is your state rep like? I had a good one down in Bucks County Tommy Tomlinson and he had an aid in the office that straightened out a lot of PennDOT problems for me. Saved me a few trips to Harrisburg. Got me things back fast too. Best part was it was free. Eddie Day Pashinski? Sounds Polish District 121 Democrat, serving Luzerne County Hmmmmmmm, democrat
  13. Two weeks 300+ feet underground. They were rescued using Pagnotti's Bucyrus-Erie 50-R drill rig and a bit from Howard Hughes in Texas flown in on a military aircraft. Considered one of Pope John The 23rd's miracles when he was Canonized
  14. Yeah but if you work at the DMV you should at least know the more common manufacturers
  15. Like the Cascadia Movement in the Northwest. They were talking about taking Northern Cali too "The Cascadia movement is a bioregional independence movement based in the Cascadia bioregion of western North America. Potential boundaries differ, with some drawn along existing political state and provincial lines, and others drawn along larger ecological, cultural, political, and economic boundaries. The proposed country or region largely would consist of the Canadian province of British Columbia and the U.S. states of Washington and Oregon, including the major cities of Seattle, Vancouver, and Portland. When all parts of the bioregion are included, Cascadia would stretch from coastal Alaska in the north into Northern California in the south, and inland to include parts of Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Yukon. More conservative advocates propose borders that include the land west of the crest of the Cascade Range (named after the long-gone Cascades Rapids[4]), while some advocates propose borders as far north as Alaska and the Yukon region."
  16. My uncle had a Rauch & Lang electric from the mid teens, and the first time the title came back from PA it read "Russian Lang"
  17. Here are some of those super genius Asians who always claim they have broken the 1st and 2nd laws
  18. Put a tarp over it and run a torpedo heater. You should build or buy a shop. They don't cost that much to heat
  19. Seems like it's promising to break the laws of thermodynamics
  20. You should try BitChute. Everything there from sane to Jewish Space Lasers https://www.bitchute.com/video/EVu2a4HTYWbl
  21. Retirement, Hell no. They can work until they get a ride home in The Black Mariah. An undated photograph of the hearse of the Lykens Valley Coal Company, Bear Gap, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. This vehicle was also known as “the Black Mariah.” It was only used to transport miners who died at work to their homes, where the undertaker would be called to prepare the body for burial. It was not a good sign when this hearse was seen on a country road near the mines.
  22. This was a pretty fancy commercial unit. It detected over and under frequency, under and over voltage, and sine wave distortion. It would alarm and take the load, indicator lights on the front to let you know why It was this model, but it was white
