Well, striking was the only way they could get ahead. Ordinarily, they were pretty successful when the strike ended. Without the Teamsters, they wouldn’t have a chance anymore. I understand all they care about is UPS.

You know, I saw that along time ago I really don’t remember a whole lot about it

I was a teamster for a short while they were excellent after DeRegulation , everything went in the toilet I really think that Fitzsimmons sold us down the river…

They do that a lot if they are not happy with something I read they use the 55 Chevy in American graffiti for the sound effects. Burt Reynolds, Trans Am they were not happy with the car the way it sounded..

Well, they were a really good thing few years ago

Yeah, same here. I’m very lucky for as much abuse . I’ve been through OK finally got outside. Decided to tackle the right side nose latch. Bolts are also partly frozen able to move them. A few turns then they get hard. I’m just going to take my time and keep spraying them, continue winding them in and out I am sure they will come out if I am patient without breaking OK 15 minutes of fiddling back in the house more TV ha ha -

As I said Mecho they did me a favor with their whining and crying who needs to be sitting in front of the TV for nine hours. Anyway, I havent got time for that. Worst part they get DUIs and they pretty much don’t even do anything to them anyway now I’m going on almost a pot of coffee breakfast and I’m finally almost ready to go outside. Ha ha.

I ran with UPS drivers for years. They have been telling me that for a long time they pay a lot of money but they’re constantly on them and a lot of people don’t realize the upper management has turned into a bunch of bean counters, and I got that right from one of them, not something I have made up.

As he mentioned, the best thing you can do is look for a blow by at least you’re probably working local with it and don’t have to worry about towing it in from East Oshkosh best of luck, bud

As I mentioned in my little hillbilly area, nobody likes to sell anything around here it just sits and sits i’ve been living next-door to this guy for 17 years. I’ve only seen him sell one old caterpillar. It had a Cranks start. I think it was gas. so I’m not hoping for miracles. He also has a flatbed that would fit right nice on it. Maybe he will at least let that one go ha ha convenience if nothing else he’s right next door and he has two big forklifts. I could pick it up with bob -
Haven’t been following this. Thanks for the photos bud a truck looks like it has a long way to go. Good luck with it… bob

I am hoping I’m not dragging my ass all day. I really did not have a lot planned anyway. Our goal was to finish the standing on the nose not the grinding fiberglass just getting all the red off old lady is in Boston visiting her grandbabies. It’s just me and the puppies if I’m too tired to do anything else I’ll just lay around all day. -

Well, I’m shooting for a flatbed right now. I’m hoping I live long enough to at least finish what I got. My neighbor has a rolloff or whatever car hauler flatbed that he does absolutely nothing with. That’s what I really want but yes, I’m still going with those two colors and thanks for asking message Barry this morning. I was getting ready to pay him for the order he is not answering I don’t know why, maybe he took a couple of days off right now I’m guzzling coffee trying to wake up. My puppies kept me up late last night barking. I thought I would sleep in and I woke up at the same time as a regular workday. I am a little biffed over that.. -

I need one myself, but I went from 24 volt down to just one car battery. Once I went to air start I might have to figure out something a little smaller… bob -

OK more sanding today Barry message me couple of days ago said he had a order ready for me. He has been working on for a couple of years pretty excited about that but don’t get the wrong idea I kept telling him take your time there’s no hurry half the stuff was back ordered Because of covert so now I have just about all the parts I need except for paint supplies, tires, and a possible steering box rebuild kit I’m sure that will be an extra three Gs or so -
Oh man that chick was a doll back in the day. I looked it up. Yes, that was the movie. And if I recall when he pulled up that sounded like it had a green oil dripper in it, which is fine since most of us seem to like the way they sound thanks for that.
