Logical explanation to the disappearance. Rob

Uhh oh: Randy's gonna be pissed. Rob

It's always "Franklins" for me......... Thanks, Rob

Hmmm, paper or plastic, (filler material). Rob

You know what they say: What is seen cannot be unseen. Rob

Gawd I hope Randy don't see that. Will get him all excited and I don't think there is a "strap on" big enough to go around my bears waist.<BR><BR>Rob

The place I use will cut an oversize shoe and drill it to the correct mounting pattern. They purchase brake friction material in the correct curvature and then make it the correct width and length per application. Rob

Yeah, Guess I'm gonna have to start a "Share the Bear" campaign. Rob

When "Momma" was in accounting school we had two German Shepherd dogs: Credit, and Debit. My shop dog which about broke my cold heart to put down was "Bondo", and was with me for years. The next family dog was "Shoestring" named after the tennis shoe he was playing with when we picked him. The next family dog; Roscoe. This guy was named after the janitor at work cause if you spilled, or dropped it, He cleaned it up immediately, (especially food)!! We now have two family dogs: Kendra, (German Shepherd mix) and Startard, (lab/irish setter/stupid mix). Both are pound rescues, (thanks to daughter and vet training). I've always been fond of the temperment of the German Shepherd dogs myself. Rob

Yes, now I remember him living in WA state. I've seen photos of his shop and other items he has sold in the past. I ahd considered a single drop trailer he'd advertised but it just wasn't quite right. I am surprised this truck was sold however but am happy to see it go to someone that will appreciate it. My daughter is heavy into horses, has her mare, (Arabian) and it's like a big dog. They actually "talk" to one another. She works at a vet clinic as a vet tech with small aminals and horses. Like you she enjoys putting 1/2 dozen head into trailers and head for distant trails. Always has been in touch with "nature" in that sort of way. You'll have to watch out around here however; there are some real "screwballs" floating around, (myself excluded). Be leary of that "Other Dog" character cause he likes to use lots of "Gorilla Tape", (almost a fettish) and monkey with posted photos......... Again, welcome. Rob

Well welcom Mr. Diddy. You'll enjoy it here. I can't remember the former owner of your dump truck but at one time hes was a participant here occasionally. I know the party was from Oregon state. That truck should serve you well as it appears to be well cared for. Seems the gent's name was Scott? Rob

I liked the Ford "L" series cause your legs hung comfortable at the pedals and the steering wheel is relatively flat as is an "R" model Mack which is the superior truck of the two. Rob

Well then, welcome to the zoo. Rob

Got a call from the trailer "shagger" at 2:30EST. He was in Indy and headed my way. Should meet up within about an hour. Been listening to daughter and "Momma" verbally abuse me for about 1/2 hour so had enough and need to get back to the shop and recover. Sometimes I feel I'm just too damned sensitive; or maybe they are just unfairly brutal on ole Rob. Rob

I have bursitis in the elbows, rheumatoid arthritis in the fingers, carpal tunnel syndrom in the wrists, a slipped third lower lumbar, plus I've got gas from eating too many berries. Only an encounter with my "girl" will hasten my relief. Please bring her back. A female that's "bear ass naked" never hurt nobody. I only let you borrow her because she was "begging for mercy" every time we got to see each other. Rob

I can try. What sounds good? Is the focal point to be tracing water leakage, automotive glass installation, seam sealing, troubleshooting/isolation, etc? Rob

That is why you use a shop vac due to the volume of air flow. You would need to have a door physically open to not have positive static pressure inside the cab doing this test. Most times the defroster will do the trick also but the shop vac always works. Just don't spray the electric motor with the water!! Rob

Roll a window down about 12" and fashion a piece of stiff cardboard or plastic to fill the opening simulating the closed window. Cut a hole in the cardboard and push a shop vacume hose through connected to the blowing side of the unit, duct tape the cardboard securely, turn the vacume on, and flood the cab with soapy water. With the air blowing and pressurizing the cab you will see bubbles wherever their is an air leak. Usually if air gets out, water gets in. I hate chasing water leaks especially on new cars....... Sat many times in an automated car wash looking for water intrusion. Rob

Appreciate you checking on him. Rob

I've been laying off the bear for much too long cause YOU fail to return here. I'm going delirious here, sweating profusely, shaking violently to the point of seizure, constantly chilled, erratic rashes breaking out about my "scar tissure", etc. Whodathunk withdrawl symptoms could be so severe???? I don't deserve this; I'm begging you: Please bring back my bear!! Rob

I really don't know much about it but have read the procedure. I've always had the machine shop handle the head work complete. Of course yours is a different animal being the heads are still on the engine. Rob

We don't see Charlie Hatfield post much here any longer but want to wish him a Happy 60th Birthday! Rob

Yes, that is the way I remember it now also. Thanks, Rob

I can't remember if it is "Bison", or "Titan". There are both from different people around here. Rob
