It would be a prosecutor's job to prove he did not declassify those documents (impossible to do), NOT his job to prove he had. Biden, neither as VP (or worse) Senator, had that power. Any & all classified docs he removed from secure facilities is a criminal act. Same goes for Hillary, as Senator & later SOS. FBI raids where no crime can be proven, yet looks the other way when crimes are blatant. All depends upon whether the individual involved identifies as an "R" or a "D". 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Bring back stick shift vehicles and cursive writing ✍️ lol 😆 🤣 😄 😂 😅 You can have my stick shift when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.😎 Been slow up at the feed mill, so I've been helping out driving deliveries for the retail store. Folks at the store want to keep me there full time. Told 'em it'd be a cold day in hell before I went to work full time & had to drive automatic trucks all day every day. Feed trucks still have manual transmissions. Boss had me spec a new straight truck for him & corporate & the salesman tried talking him out of many of my specs. When he told me the changes they wanted, I explained why I spec'd what I spec'd, and why THEIR preferences wouldn't work. Allegedly, my boss stuck with my specs. We'll find out later this year. Truck's scheduled to be built in March. 1 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Ha ha I can appreciate that although I didn’t think I was going to like the automatic …. Now I think it’s the best thing since sliced bread but I did shift trucks for around 44 years. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 In my experience Bob.. When Guy's like you and my Wife, say that they welcome the automated tranny's, I give them respect.. My concern is how weak todays drivers are.. Not their fault, it's the feminine trucks they are taught and forced to drive... Driving a manual truck is a SKILL, and it allows the driver to learn the truck and feel how it goes over the road.. To me that is very important.. Just my 2 cent's.. Oh crap, I'm running out of pennie's.. be right back... Jojo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 agreed. we paid our dues and deserve a "senior citizens" truck. these young punks demand new trucks with big engine, auto trans, and every option, $45 per hour, 8 hours pay but only can work 6 hours per day, than go drive it like their honder civic. 2 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Joey Mack Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Yes sir, TJC.. I agree !! I am not a long term driver, just 5+ years.. But as a mechanic who Gave a Damn!! I made sure the trucks were safe and legal, and running good.. I have 'Served' some of these demanding newbies.. meanwhile the 60- 70 year old driver's were just 'Chilled'.. They new I was going to hook 'em up, and they would drive the crappiest spare truck to keep makin money.. I have seen male princess's just clock out rather than drive an older truck.. How they got away with it,,, I dont know.. jojo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Bob. it not 9/16" anymore, and it was 7/16", but now it's disc brakes, and I think it's 10mm... or maybe it's just........ " I don't Know Why It Wont Stop Good" jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Clearly, they don’t need the money, Joey , so I’m sure they had a coddled upbringing and I am sure a dock work is not going to happen lol Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 yup, i was amazed when i popped the hood on my new T880's and saw disc brakes. and i have no problem jumping in the 2000 W900 and leaving my brand new Kenworth with 4600 miles on it parked in the yard.......locked with the key in my pocket. there are only two people that know where the keys are for these trucks, me, and the boss. and we are the only ones that drive them. 2 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

mowerman Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I haven’t adjusted a break in 33 years jobs usually have work shop with mechanics that do i check brake shoes on Congers before I picked them up.

tjc transport Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 i have not adjusted brakes in about 13 years now. the boss goes over the trucks every night when they get parked. the T880's have self adjusting brakes. the 2016 had 125,000 miles on it when sold, the 2020 had 75,000. the tandem had 8,200, and the newest triaxle has 4600 on it. none of them have ever had brake adjustments...... mainly because we use engine brake and not foot brakes.

BOBWhite Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Egg prices are no joke. We have 3 chickens but one is molting so only 2 eggs a day, still worth it to keep chickens and don't have to worry about feeding them with free range and a good dog. Milk's 5$ a gallon too just as our milk cow's drying up. We bought a gallon of milk today for the first time in 2 years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I don’t know the scale might be able to tell you ha ha. 9/16" won't do you much good these days, unless you're pulling an older trailer that's still got manual slacks. Better off these days with a 7/16" socket on a ratchet or a 3/8" box wrench & either a claw hammer or flat screwdriver to pull out on the pawl...but then you'd better know what you're doing or you'll end up like that blonde chick on Ice Road Truckers who decided to adjust her brakes on the side of the road, tightened 'em down, and couldn't figure out how to back them off again...😂 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!
