Amen. Ain't nothing like "personal" touches that work. Rob

I'm not really into graphics such as displayed and do not like the visor at all. To me the package just does not come together. The "Transtar's" really were one of my favorite cabovers too. Rob

Kinda the same but different I'm doing with my white B61. I've "split" the grille shell and going to weld in an extension of five inches to bury a CAC, and a/c condensor behind non functioning, cable operated shutters. The engine is an E6-350. Rob

She was in Las Vegas. None of the other places the dogs had looked was even close to there. Rob

Picked this up from the web. Look at the numbers. And they say the media is NOT biased...... Rob Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters By: Mark Tapscott Editorial Page Editor 08/27/10 3:45 PM EDT Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democratic candidates and campaign committees in 2008, according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. The Democratic total of $1,020,816 was given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks, with an average contribution of $880. By contrast, only 193 of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863. The average Republican contribution was $744. Disclosure of the heavily Democratic contributions by influential employees of the three major broadcast networks follows on the heels of controversy last week when it was learned that media baron Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. contributed $1 million to the Republican Governors Association. The News Corp. donation prompted Nathan Daschle, executive director of the Democratic Governors Association and son of former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, to demand in a letter to Fox News chairman Roger Ailes that the cable news outlet include a disclaimer in its coverage of gubernatorial campaigns. Fox News is owned by News Corp., which also owns The Wall Street Journal. The data on contributions by broadcast network employees was compiled by CRP at the request of The Examiner and included all 2008 contributions by individuals who identified their employer as one of the three networks or subsidiaries. The data does not include contributions by employees of the three networks who did not identify their employer. The CRP is the organization behind OpenSecrets.org, the web site that for more than a decade has put campaign finance data within reach of anybody with an Internet connection. President Obama received 710 such contributions worth a total of $461,898, for an average contribution of $651 from the network employees. Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain received only 39 contributions totaling $26,926, for an average donation of $709. Ninety-six contributions by broadcast network employees to the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Senate and House campaign committees totaled $217,881. Thirty-eight contributions by broadcast network employees to the Republican National Committee and the Republican Senate and House campaign committees totaled $23,805. Among the individuals in the data are ABC News president Lloyd Braun, who contributed $1,000 to the Our Common Values PAC, which is associated with White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, and ABC Radio Networks president Jim Robinson, who gave $250 to GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson. Other individual givers found in the data include ABC reporters Sarah Amos, who gave $1,285 to Democratic presidential aspirant Bill Richardson, Clarisa Ward, who gave $500 to President Obama, and Kristina Wong, who gave $400 to the Democratic Party of Virginia. Notable contributors found in the CBS data include "journalist" Seth Davis, who gave $2,750 to Obama, CBS Corporation vice president and editor-in-chief Jane Goldman, who contributed $250 to Obama, CBS Radio "host" Mike Omeara, who gave $1,471 to Obama, and "journalist" Beverly Williams, who donated $200 to Obama. Among NBC contributors were Saturday Night Live producer Jeffrey Ross, who contributed $500 to Sen. Chris Dodd, D-CN, former NBC Today Show weatherman Willard Scott. who gave $500 to the Republican National Committee, NBC Universal CFO Jennifer Cabalquinto, whose donations to Obama totaled $1,200, and NBC Universal "editor" David Mack, with $250 to Obama and $2,300 McCain.

Yes, this was kinda comical when I pulled it from the truck. They are sound welds, but look terrible being so many of them. My son actually bought me a duplicate tank in very near new condition to replace this one, but I've not mounted it yet. Rob

Hi Herb. You mean like someone did seven times to my passenger side fuel tank?? There are also three patches on the large air tank, but I don't have photos of that. Rob

Sounds like someone has installed an internally regulated alternator on the engine. This would eliminate the need for the firewall mounted voltage regulator. The truck is likely switched over to negative ground as I've seen several reman alternators that are not polarity marked when negative ground, but marked with either a "P", or "positive", if positive ground. Rob

Cheap entertainment to make up for lousy food? Rob

I have a diagram at the shop that is easy to follow. I will scan and post it over the weekend. Does the truck have a generator, or alternator? The voltage regulator will have one of the mounting tabs for the wiring marked for pos, or neg. This will be indicative of ground polarity also. The series/parallel switch will work with either polarity depending on how it is wired. Rob

I've spoken recently with an officer of the club and our concerns are being heard. They will be trying to address the problems/issues within the club and it is recognized there is room for improvement within. I'm still interested in forming a chapter as few around here share my hobby as there is no representation local I'm aware of. I'll keep everybody posted on progression. Rob

It consisted of farm animals of all varieties and humans, pretty nasty, and raunchy. Rob

I actually like "Momma" better. I don't have to worry where she is at night. Rob

I was thinking "large woman" in spandex leather. Rob

Sure was hot when I was there in July. Felt just like home here at the center of the earth. Rob

I have both codes at the shop. IF I remember, I'll look them up and post. They will be a Sikkens number but is readily convertible to another paint vendor's number. Rob

Lots of people run through that one on Capitol street. Peoria, IL just gave the OK for a Golden Corral to be built yesterday. Can't remember if it is for one, or two restaurants. Rob

Same one we ate at? Rob

Worst smelling vehicles I ever had in the shop were used in hog lots. Two hours on the outside wash rack with a pressure washer before you would even think of doing anything to the truck. Amazing how that smell will permeate any, and everything, then linger for days. Sort of like that gift that "keeps on giving". Rob

I've been using a similar product for years. I spray the backside of my shorts with the product, and my farts, they smell like roses!! "Momma" prefers oranges however, and daughter Nikki like lavendar. Everybody says the "pleasure is all theirs" to be around us. Rob

Paul Van Scott is one of the birthday boys today. Give him a good "ribbing" in Other Dog's absence. Happy birthday Paul. Rob

Originally positive ground. If it still has a generator, prolly still is. Look at the positive battery terminal and where it runs to. If going to the frame it is positive ground. If there are no batteries in the truck, the positive battery post terminal is physically larger, (hole size) than the negative. Rob

I've always thought for the cost it was prohibitive in automobile use. Conventional compressed air is free in most places. Aircraft usage is a different story and it is a very useful gas in tires, struts, and cylinders used at altitude as it is very stable and dry. The pressure differential is far less from the expansion/contraction rate of pure nitrogen, rather than the typical mixture found at ground, or sea level. Rob

Why is it that some gooseneck trailers have tandem axles with dual tires, and some have triple axles with single tires? These provide roughly the same cargo capacity when all said and done. I've pulled both and a triple axle is much harder on tires than the dual tandems, but there are two less tires. Just wondering if this is a law type of thing, or personal preference on lighter trailers typically pulled by a one ton pickup, or hotshot setup? Thanks, Rob

I understand from speaking with others there was a "shakeup" in the leadership of the club. Hopefully this will straighten and align to make the club more appealing for the younger set that is out there. I have a pile of their magazines from the last year or so and haven't looked, or opened the envelopes/pages of a single one. I was thinking of giving it a year and then pursuing again to see if anything has changed. Regardless, I too wish them well and harbor no ill will. Rob
