Biofuel (P365 12/10)

December 10, 2010 mack505

Last summer, a local fuel oil dealer came up with an advertising gimmick I liked.  He equipped one of his old trucks with a billboard body and a bright paint scheme, and he parked it in a highly visible spot.  It's legally registered and parked on private property, but visible from the street. Of course… Continue reading Biofuel (P365 12/10) →

RFB – EGH

December 3, 2010 mack505

Silence. Sun shines, dead leaves rustle in the breeze. Two hundred firefighters stand in straight lines, flanking the driveway to the church. I'm glad I brought my trench coat, as the November day is not as warm as it looks. The motorcycles and patrol cars have passed, a fine show of respect from our Brothers… Continue reading RFB – EGH →

Under the Pineapple

December 3, 2010 mack505

A roller-coaster week. Thanksgiving with the family, at home for the first time in years. Tragedy. Hope on the employment front.  Almost good news, but don't count your chickens too soon. A funeral.

Santa Parade (P365 – 11/28)

December 2, 2010 mack505

On Sunday we took the Mack to Beverly for the annual Santa Claus parade.  Everything ran well, and we had a good time. The day turned into Mack-a-palooza, with all but one of the anitques and two of the in-service rigs manufactured by Mack.  It's kind of sad that CF's are becoming classics, but there… Continue reading Santa Parade (P365 – 11/28) →
