    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.

    My father was in the truck business for 30 years. He sold Whites (Freightliners) and Macks. I still have the Mack chrome bulldog ashtray he had. Don't if you had ever seen one.

    At one time he was Used Truck Manager at White Trucks (later Freightliner) in Dallas. I got a little bonus because of this. My first car was a 57 Chevy 2dr with a pink accent color. Needless to say I didn't like the color, but I knew I would get it painted when I bought it for $700.00.

    He sent it to a local body shop a lot of business so they painted my 57 for free with nine coats of Maroon lacquer and the local interior shop put a rolled and pleated interior in my car for the costs of materials. The cost on the interior was $45.00 in 1967.

    Just goes to show how far the value of the dollar has dropped since then.

    My mother's cousin was a top mechanic for White/Freightliner in Omaha all his life. They flew him to other places to make repairs that others could not. He probably retired in the late 1980's.

    I'm pretty sure the guy on the sofa is Randy Newman. Can't place the girl. It's not Olivia Newton-John. It looks more like Susan Anton?

    Probably toddlers. Even today's teenager's can (hopefully) operate a Phillips screwdriver. When parents were gone, it would be unscrewed. The wife could have put the screws in too ya know. :)

    No one should do that to even a cheap piece of gear. But we see it all.

    I believe that's Hal Blaine at the drums and Carol Kaye on bass.

    You are giving them way to much credit. If it's a virtual screwdriver perhaps.

    I dunno -- I was thinkin' that's crazy, but it just might work.
    Cocktail sauce is the throughline.

    To quote Niels Bohr (a pretty quotable dude):
    “We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.”

    @KennethSwauger I’m going to guess that your last pic was at Sparks Lake, Oregon.
