Popular Post Mack Technician Posted March 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Came home from a Fishing trip to find a box from Maine. In it were cans of Moxie soda, an invasive species in these parts, compliments of BMT's resident philanthropist 41Chevy. Since everyone who tries it (social media) seems to feel inclined to comment I'm throwing mine in too....... Moxie Virgin's stop now if you don't want the spoiler. Brought the cans to a steady 38 F and cracked. Scent is perfumed and pungent similar to a Mennonite store that sells bulk spices. Flavor strikes a memory of dime store candy sticks...… more specifically a softer version of Horehound. Aftertaste is the tricked-out part of the soda. After 15 seconds the sweet dissipates and a dry bitter sets in and holds on. Unique. Stuff is a 10, salute to the Northeast for good craftsmanship. Regretfully, no availability in Wisconsin for the near future. My wife agreed we are keeping the last can (toast) till Paul has a victory over Virginia's "A-Holes".

There will be something dusty, noisy and 24/7 though on 95% of my 1100 acres. The Veteran Houses will be built in Maine between South Portland - Scarbourgh area and Gorham on 60 acres of horse farm that was my sisters. Cheers Paul, At least if your building in Maine the Vets will have reasonable access to Moxie. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56375-cheers-thanks-41chevy/#findComment-420643 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDog Trucking Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Cool video, good stuff. Looks like this stuff was promoted as the original "energy drink", before that was a thing. Interesting note from their website in the history section: 1885-1899: Moxie Nerve Food invented and patented in 1885. I find it curious it was originally called 'nerve food'. They also made 'many wild curative claims'. Hair loss? Drink more Moxie. Marital problems? Erectile disfunction? Drink Moxie, and all your problems will be gone. MackTechnician, when you tried it, did your chosen ailment get better? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56375-cheers-thanks-41chevy/#findComment-420900 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I instead danced more confidently......but like Forest Gump. Hope that answers your question?

41chevy Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Yeah but it was a wasted trip. Got the "I'm going to restore it when I get free time." The guy is 77 years old,shuffles along with an O2 machine and smokes. Stinks because it is the glass one piece nose, cast radiator, wheels, fuel tanks and a lot of other small bits I need/want. I'll post up the chase photos tomorrow. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56375-cheers-thanks-41chevy/#findComment-422181 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad had Diabetes, COPD, congested heart, high blood pressure, O2 rocket pack and two restoration projects he was going to finish. Now I’m waiting for the price of scrap to go up so mom has some supper club cash.

41chevy Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 This is the photo that started it all. Did a lot of digital work to get the phone number off of the unit in the back ground, computer work to trace the number and the address, than Google Earth federal version to get the location of the truck and be sure it was still currently intact. At least on the way back I stopped in Philly and put a deposit on a pair of ex USAF AM General M900 series power units, so it wasn't a total loss. Go back and pick them up in 2 weeks.
