"At The Hop" by Danny & The Juniors ........ Happy Birthday Pelicn :D

Heheheh ..... good one Jack.

Teach a man to fish and he'll feed himself for life ....... But teach your woman to blow snow with the snowblower .... ..... and you may never find the keys to your tractor again :eek::

Well, yeah ..... actually, it is ..... I dunno .... I must be a sick, twisted **** (well, that's pretty much a given :D) .... I enjoy the adventure of it ..... although I really can't say that the traffic in major metro areas and getting out in the cold and wind to fuel excites me all that...

OVM, I've never been afraid of a little work .... well ..... maybe in my younger days .... but that was mostly due to illegal substances ..... :eek: ..... once we got that all straightened around, work wasn't so much of a problem anymore. Some folks see work and try to figure out how to avoid...

Moose, Appreciate the input - initially I was of a similar mind - I thought: "Hey - if it's supposed to work so well without clamps, then throwing a clamp on there ought to be better", a little extra insurance right ? Wrong. What I found out, after talking to a couple of different places...

Inside carbon ? ..... Inside cardboard ? ..... whatcha talking about here exactly ? The "carbon" I get rid of by replacing the filter element with a new roll of TP and using the spent rolls as fire starters for the wood stove up in the shop - I save them in a plastic bag while out on the road...

A fairly significant undertaking ... but I'll see what I can do. :)

This is a an Amsoil BP-89 swivel fitting, it's often used on engine oil bypass filter setups by installing it in the oil filler cap so that the return line from the bypass filter can be attached to the oil filler cap in order to provide a return path for the oil to get back into the engine. (The...

Below are the Summit Twist-Tite fittings that will be used for the hose ends. They made from billet aluminum and are anodized a snazzy blue and red (not that I really care, one way or another) Summit lists them as "AN" fittings and they are apparently popular with gearheads and the showcar...

I ended up deciding to use Summit Twist-Tite hose and fittings. The hose (and fittings) are essentially a knock off of Eaton AeroQuip Socketless Hose and Fittings. It's easy to work with and to cut to length and assemble onsite. The hose is approved for oil & hydraulic and is rated to 250 psi...

I ordered most of the fittings I used from Discount Hydraulic Hose (Discount Hydraulic Hose.com) because they have a great selection, good service, their prices are good, and the stuff was delivered right to my front door. I settled on using steel JIC 37° flare fittings - this is a common...

Great idea George - I just added it in on mine. Thanks for sharing.

Not me Dave ..... I like our northern neighbors. I was up there on Friday morning dropping at Sterling in St. Thomas .... wasn't three hours before I got called with a load coming back out into the US. Of course, freight is so hot down here in the lower 48, lotsa folks are just too busy to...

chef - five or so of them a week will help keep the wolves away, eh ? ;)

I dunno .... 'cause I dunno how many is where you are at and how many loads are moving out of there .... but I can tell ya when I called Dispatch earlier in the day there was 1 van and a Sprinter (me) in northeast Ohio (Akron/Canton/Cleveland metro area) I've been 1st out since sometime on...

Doh - musta been that metric conversion thing that threw me for a loop - thanks ! :D

Inaccurate statement - only applies to heavy-duty vehicles over 10K GVW. Mebbe us vans and Sprinters will get busy and we won't have to: BAN THE VAN !!!!!!

Huh ? Well, I can tell ya .... I'm really impressed with the fact that you are using the CAPS LOCK key ........ LOL - I'm sure that's totally true ...... generally, I would hope that I do fairly decent with it .... but I'm prone to making a mistake here and there. No claims for perfection...

Probably was "the Master of Meteorlogical Disaster" .... that Jim Cantore guy on the Weather Channel ..... every time I see him on the 'tube it reminds me of that Eagles song, Dirty Laundry: "We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who Comes on at five She can tell you bout the plane crash...
