    More trucks and tires; this truck built in the 50's for oil work in Sahara Dessert.

    Note:
    All those tires reminded me of a childhood memory. I was 12-14 years old. My cousin, some type of engineer, went to the Sahara Desert in the 50's after oil was discovered. He was an avid photographer and home movie guy. At a family event, he showed some of the things that were happening in the desert oil work.

    I remember tires so large that I could hardly believe the size. I found the truck picture above that was restored but I don't know if those were in the home movies. I remember gigantic trailers with gigantic tires going through the sand. Made an impression on me.

    The link above discusses the problems with equipment in the desert.

    I had a summer job during my college years at a company who built large trailers for oilfield equipment.

    When I was there they were finishing up a 32 wheel trailer and were starting to build a much bigger one than that (I don't remember how many wheels it was going to have). Both were going to Alaska.

    Much better than the cab over i had back in the early 80's. Couldn't sit a cup of coffee on the dog house or you would wear it. Back then i was hauling seafood to NYC Fulton Fish Market down on 2nd Ave 3-4 times a week. Great in tight spots. Then JB Hunt screwed up my backhauls. They hauled stuff so cheap it ran owner operators out of business with grocery chain backhauls. Back to flatbed i went. Nicer people too. Lumber yard & other places were happy to see you VS groc chain receivers who cop'd attitudes

    Well, polydactyly is oddly common in cats. Thumbs, thankfully, aren't. At least so far.

    Randy, I remember the Fulton Fish Market. I did work off and on in that area on John Street close to Pearl from 1976 forward for about 6 years. I ate at Sweets Seafood many times. It was so old it had no air conditioning - just great seafood. All of those things went when the South Street Seaport area was created. There were no people to speak of in the Financial District on the weekends in the late 70's. I think there was only one major hotel and it was on Wall Street.

    i really enjoyed the people down there. They always asking me about Maine & how we lived up here lmao. I would go down Declancy Ave & turn right into market & first place on corner i parked the rig. Bars n pubs all over at 3am. Great food. Great people. I heard it's closed now ? My grandmother was a nurse & lived on. 225 west end Ave. Rip. My uncle worked at liqueur store close too. 1970's. I grew up visiting the city. Easier driving NYC than Boston

    Beautiful Kenworth conventional.

    Not bad, I sold Pete's for awhile in the mid to late 90's. Needless to say I prefer them.

    Great trucks. Pete's have narrow cabs. I'm on the thick side & prefer wider cabs. I've had Freightliners, Western Star, Macks, Volvos. Their all good trucks. Years back I used a Mack Superliner with a 500 in it & it had 2 shifters & had to put arm thru the steering wheel to shift it. Wouldn't that thing pull a hill. Back in the 80's my Mack 350 Cummings you'd see a hill & it was like you threw a anchor out. 60mph to 40 if you were lucky. Don't miss that truck. I am semi-retired now & don't miss the racquet one bit.

    Don't stop her. Most young girls wouldn't think of cutting wood. I grew up cutting 8+ cord every fall & passing it thru a basement window for my gramp. I'd do it again just to see him again
