Now that is strange Larry.........that we both have the same name. LOL Heard other names called out but thought they were hollering at someone else. mike

I thought Tom would have taken the photo of Larry and Rob standing beside the RR with that big smile. mike

LOL.......that would make for a great TV commercial. mike

What about the commas? mike

Good thing Kate has a car with leather seats cause she'd never get those stains out of cloth. LOL mike

Hey randyp........just stay away from the Movies tonight and leave the girl in the red dress alone. Shes out to frame you. Oh!.....and a HAPPY B Day to ya. mike

That makes for a great story Mark. He has a head full of History that needs to be told. I need to post the picture of me and Ole Red Nose. It is one of the Commemortive Air Forces P 51 Mustangs. I got to fly it back in May of 2005 south of Atlanta, GA. Yes fly it. It had just the necessary stick, pedals, throttle with push to talk button, also had airspeed indicator and altimeter. It was for an instructor riding in the rear of the pilot. This plane was all original except did not have the bomb quadrant. I was strapped in my parachute first inwhich I sat on. These seats were dished out for the pilot to sit on his parachute the whole trip. Then I was strapped into the huge seatbelts. On startup it sounded like a big 6 cylinder engine with short pipes until we lined up on the numbers to take off and throttled up. Then the SOB came to life and you cannot hear yourself scream if you tried. But it sure has the most powerful sound with that 12 cylinder Rolls/Royce about 10 feet out front. When that tail lifts up off the runway you better be in control cause ain't no turnin back. We did 320 mph in a high speed dive just below the trees. G/f is tellin me to go home cause I got to work tomorrow. I'll see if I can take a picture of a picture and post it. mike

If I had that Mixer.....i'd be makin everybody a tall cocktail and use it up and down the beach. It just needs some party colors and play Beach Boys music. mike

And a Happy B Day to ya Ben. mike

I guess this N Model Mack is the first time I had seen of them....not real sure because it reminds me of the late 50's early 60's Ford Cabover that had the 292 V8 engines. Roadway and Yellow Freight here in and around Nashville had them for city trucks. I guess the Fords had single headlights? Don't see them anymore. mike

Hey Mark.......wonder if anyone has told her, that she has a nice smile?Hi i'm Forrest......Forrest Gump. I'd like to make you a shrimp cocktail. mike

Amen......to that statement Olive. When I heard it last friday.......I almost had a heartattack. I just hope the ballots are not rigged to his favor. mike

Here is a photo for the WW2 Aircraft buffs like me. I just got to Smyrna, Tennessee Airport while the number 4 engine was starting up, before taxis instructions from the tower were given to the B 17 Flying Fortress. A Curtis P 40 was supposed to be present but I did not see it on the tarmac. mike

Ahhh........tha boots are just not big enough. mike

Wonder if Forrest Gump wiped his face on the smiley yellow thingies? mike

Hi Kent, I just had my clutch disc and pressure plate rebuilt. Also the flywheel cleaned and turned. The throwout bearing is new and pilot bearing for the flywheel is also new. These items were done at a local Clutch and Brake Shop in my area. You may have one somewhere near you, or a business that can tell you that works on Diesel Trucks. I found out my information from a FleetPro, PAI Distributor. Also a FleetPride can help you locate a clutch shop. Sometimes a NAPA Truck Parts place can be of help. It sure beats going to the Mack Dealer for anything!!!!!! mike

Should have posted a week ago when Nashville had their Country Music Awards. The side streets were full of people also. I thought I would post this of the General Lee. mike

LOL......hey randyp.......here in Tennessee, there are no more mental facilities........all of the people are now walking the streets downtown and going building to building asking for money to get a bus ticket to go home. I guess we don't pay enough TAXES yet in this state to afford a place for all of these under priviledge and or criminals. mike

Ditto mike

Hey..........what has Olive been smokin lately? Those are big hair rollers that Mother Nature layed there. mike

Happy B Day men. Thought i'd say men since someone has called you boys to make you feel more youthful for your birthday. gudda boys mike
