Popular Post navypoppop Posted December 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2023 I would like to wish everyone here on BigMackTrucks a very happy holiday season expressed in the way that you celebrate because of religion, tradition or ethnic background. Either way the message is the same. I enjoy every post here on BMT even though I personally do not own a Mack myself. I started driving in 1969 on A40, B61-75, R, U and F models and received a plaque from Mack Trucks for 1 million miles in a Mack. All of you here are the best with a vast knowledge of the great Bulldogs and I enjoy reading the forums everyday. So again, Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year. 5 2 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73687-merry-christmas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RowdyRebel Posted December 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2023 Dang...I've got well over 1M miles in a Mack, but no plaque. Guess they don't do that anymore? Just shy of putting 1M miles on my own CH when I parked it 5+ years ago...plus my time pulling pneumatic tanks (CH), logs CH & CL's), and now hauling feed (R)...had my CDL almost 23 years now & been at the wheel of a Mack for all but 4 of them. Anyway, Merry Christmas, y'all, and to all of y'all a good night! 3 1 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Yes mate 78 mm (3 1/4inches) of rain on Christmas day, thats over a 1/4 of our annual rainfall in a few hours No power from 6am until 4pm, and no complaints from me as I didn't have to work at all except cook the roast in the BBQ, unlike the blokes fixing the power and attending to all the calls for help from flooding It was a good day for me, Princess doesn't know it and my son doesn't know it either but the Princess and I are jumping on the kero kite to go and surprise the boy for his birthday as he lives at the other end of this wide brown land His birthday is on the 28th December and he couldn't make it here for Christmas I'm looking forward to seeing the boy, we haven't seen him in 12 months Hope everyone has had a great day with family and friends Paul 5 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73687-merry-christmas/#findComment-544068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas! Paul can probably confirm / expand on this.. The northern 2/3rds of the continent winter is never that cold?? 30*F +/- 10*F (American temp).. BUT farming in Australia takes Acres and acres of land!!!!!! The cattle station (Ranch) we visited west of Ayers Rock had over a million acres to run 4000 head of beef..

mrsmackpaul Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Most of Australia is dry, very very dry, I have been told that if we took all the rain fall from across Australia and averaged it out across Australia the average rain fall would be about 4 inches I have also been told that there are cattle stations bigger than entire countries in Europe and the biggest land owners in Australia had cattle stations that combined more land area than the state of Texas The east coast and only a few hundred mile inland are were most people live, 98% of people or more The grain belt in Australia is dry, maybe 12 - 14 inches of annual rainfall And despite what we say in Australia, our climate is very mild by world standards Maybe minus 3 or 4 C to plus 45 C There are spots that are colder, but not much colder on main land Australia I have farmed were it's been 116 in the shade for weeks on end, that is horrible and quite tiring after a couple of weeks When we grew sugar cane in north QLD it never got cold 24C in winter and 34C in summer, no 4 seasons, just a wet season and a dry season Anyway you blokes don't wanna hear this rubbish from me, is it a white Christmas in the state's? Thinking it must be for Vlad, well and truely white and very cold for him Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73687-merry-christmas/#findComment-544070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
