  1. southeast U.S. that's a lot of territory Can ya be a little more specific-like at least Alabama or something? Welcome.
  2. Glad to hear that 1) you are not at the gray bar hotel 2) the fine was reduced 3) I dunno
  3. Ive been out of the firefighting game for a while now, so I want ask Who is making Fire apparatus now? E-One? Ferrara? Sutphen? any others?
  4. That also shows a great deal of mutual respect between pilot and mechanic. That may be why Quantas has no crashes Think about it
  5. This is to let you know that the .gif has lost its title. In the beginning, it was funny for some, maybe not you. I know that you are older, wiser, and a much better person and I appreciate your friendship here on BMT ..........Hatcity
  6. I remember Germantown Vol., Danbury CT had one-used. It was their first motorized. Went to Danbury State Fair for display. When the fair shut down, we were able to aquire it. The boys were all excited about re-doing it. Not much got done and interest waned. I know it was then sold. But I have no idea where it went. If I only knew then, what I know now. Some of the old timers remember having to stop and put the chain back on Looked very much like your second pic
  7. Permit! Permit! We dun neeeeeed no steenkin permit. j -there was a very large pour one time out this way I want to say 5000, no seam. Three plants were running and three boom trucks and one spare. I almost worked just driving an empty back and a full one out there.
  8. Being that you are in Canada, how cold is it? Have you been plugging the trucks in at nite? How many miles/kilos are on the motors? Rings may be losing it so it takes more to build up temp for combustion
  9. Will have to wait Tom. Got a few jobs to do. One is 1000 yd pour-no seam Glad to hear it was worked out. ....and now the rest of the story
  10. Well, I ran thru the nite to get back home. THEN I read this. OD will have to pay the fuel-upfront- if he wants his truck back friggen thing drives like a tank
  11. I have a coffee cup to put all y'alls change in
  12. It all depends on your taste. I like using Everglades, or Creole, or Natures Seasoning, or,..... Baked, broiled, grilled, blackened,.... Cook up a batch and have it tonite, cut it up and throw into a salad,......
  13. WELL?
  14. Drink Johnnie Walker instead of beer My comment was to cut back-not cut out
  15. No, they were headed to the west side of the state-St. Pete races I believe. I guess I didn't see the whole fleet. I only saw 4 units And we wonder why insurance is so friggen expensive
  16. In the South, most things are fried. It's the best way to cook some food. BUT, look for foods that are baked, grilled, etc. NO LARD (gasp) Light on the seasonings too. Some stuff has so much other stuff, it defeats the purpose. Vegetables-lots of them Fruits One of the best ways is to cook you own so you can control it. Once in a while you can go off the specialty foods. You need a splurge time; just don't let it go on a three day binge. Cut back on alcohol intake-if you so imbibe Chicken is good. So many ways to cook. Also fish. Not Tuna from a can. I tell you this with a big crock pot full of chili in the kitchen.
  17. "been here 9 years and it never happened" That's what the old farmer said when the plow horse up and died in the field
  18. Seen the whole fleet one time in Okeechobee, FL. They were crossing to the west side when a tire went on one of the units. The WHOLE fleet stopped. Quite impressive looking group (despite no MACK)
  19. WELL?
  20. Follow the bouncing....
  21. Good luck at the gym Do want you want to work on. Aerobics or strength training Take it easy for the first few days/weeks. Your body will let you know you are going to far. Listen to it. Don't try to lift 200 pounds right away-you end up with a hernia-like me
  22. Dibs on the mixer. Oh, good luck Tom. Having your bosses with you can help a lot as they were not aware of the Needed permits
  23. WELCOME BACK ROB!!!!!!!
  24. Those who do not study history, are bound to repeat it
