  1. Parkhurst is the publisher, but in the most technical sense, the magazine belongs to the federal bankruptcy referee. Parkhurst’s corporation overextended itself with a feature-length movie about interstate haulers, starring the late, great Sonny Liston. Even with this setback, Parkhurst points out, Overdrive has never stopped spending money on efforts to aid those in the same fight. One of the projects Parkhurst brags of helping is the only other obvious rallying point of the truckers’ breakout: the Fraternal Association of Steel Haulers. The help amounted to $87,000 in 1967, after F.A.S.H. was born on a picket line in front of Teamster Local 142 in Gary, Indiana. The local rebellion spread into a wildcat strike that crippled the steel industry for 13 weeks and steel haulers began to organize outside of Teamster control for the first time. Today F.A.S.H. has chapters throughout steel country with two regional offices in Gary, Indiana, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In Gary, miles of steel mills float in a three-day stink. The local F.A.S.H. office centers around Paul Dietsch, a veteran organizer against the Teamsters, who says: “These people [independent drivers] go overseas every 20 years to fight a war for democracy, they come home, go to work for a trucking company that’s under the Teamsters and all of a sudden, they haven’t any rights at all. Their balls shrivel up to the size of peas and they won’t stand up to nothin’ … We decided to change that.” Continued https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/the-truckers-go-to-washington-democracy-in-action-on-the-interstate-68811/5/
  2. Anyone else remember this?
  3. Yeah, I know about Jones and Laughlin. I've been following this Tod Engine thing since the internet started. I grew up in the shadow of the USS Fairless Works. I have deep family roots in steel and mining. That is why I hate the globalists with every fiber of my being My Uncle Charles M. Cummings Obituary CUMMINGS – Charles M.

  4. Bretton Woods has a putrid Keynesian stink about it
  5. It takes a lot longer to build a barn up, than it does to kick one down
  6. Clinton put the screws to American manufacturing, and pretty much any American who got their hands dirty working. But it goes back even farther than that. The collapse became very apparent with the closing of the Campbell Works of YS&T on Sept. 19, 1977 "Black Monday" instantly putting 5,000 men out of work. But the planning for this ass ramming of Americans had to go even farther back, How far? I don't know, I was in high school in 1977 and had no idea that there were globalists with plans to destroy America. Just the idea of it was inconceivable to me.

  8. Can't you buy them elsewhere and have them shipped? https://www.ebay.com/itm/276321827721?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-166974-028196-7&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=276321827721&targetid=2274951440814&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9007325&poi=&campaignid=22108121279&mkgroupid=181749026548&rlsatarget=pla-2274951440814&abcId=10162159&merchantid=114649931&geoid=9007325&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAw5W-BhAhEiwApv4goG8JX_AQeMcpNbWrvPGG_BBzi8xxBffNh0EYLw70MK4JBq8ylN8h8hoCQS0QAvD_BwE

  10. I just hope we can avoid this
  11. There was one of these at the Texaco station about a block from my home when I was a kid Emil (The owner) told my dad that machine paid for his son's college education
  12. Well she was telling me she became a vegan because of somebody she heard Art Bell interview on Coast to Coast AM so naturally I was already thinking UFOs and Aliens, so when she said "Vegan" I heard "Vulcan". She isn't a vegan anymore, but she's still a whack job and just about 60. I met her in 1976, when she was dancing in the Nutcracker, and she had crazy eyes then, but that's a long story
  13. How do the wires to the slip rings pass the bearing? Is there a grove in the shaft?
  14. Never ran a log, never slept in a truck, and only ever owned day cabs. Every once in a while I had to travel to a far away job, but slept in motels. From my understanding the 100 air miles is based on where your base of operations is, not the businesses mailing address or main office. For example, if we got a job in Parkersburg WV. and moved all our equipment there and stayed there for a considerable amount of time, then the center of our 100 air mile radius would have been Parkersburg WV. Not Phila or Hazleton
  15. This is the only time men are truly happy
  16. The first time I heard of a vegan was on a date with a girl about 25 years ago and she told me she was a "Vegan". I thought she was into Star Trek
  17. As a student at Stanford University, Kesey volunteered to participate in a CIA-financed study of the effects of psychoactive drugs, an experience that inspired him to write the 1962 classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. In 1964, Kesey embarked on an LSD, amphetamine and marijuana-fueled trip from the West Coast to New York City with a group of men and women who called themselves “The Merry Band of Pranksters,” traveling together in a school bus covered in Day-Glo paint. On this road trip, Kesey intended to abandon writing and create a film using the footage they shot collectively. Returning to California, Kesey and the Pranksters continued to shoot film on Kesey's ranch in La Honda and at weekly parties known as “Acid Tests,” which involved live music by The Warlocks (later known as The Grateful Dead), strobe lights, fluorescent paint and LSD.
  18. I bought trailers in WV years ago. The DMV people were really nice and I got permeant registrations for the trailers for 46 bucks. They had a lot of forms there for all kinds of stuff, like homebuilt, missing title, etc.. I couldn't believe that they registered all those trailers for me and never checked my ID. And they took cash
  19. before 2020 that box was $4.64
