    No, speed limit is 55 through most of route 52 in Ohio. But it will only run about 65, it’s heavy spec. Double frame, big rears, 400 mechanical Mack, 10 spd. Been well taken care of…..

    Those were good engines. Guys here seemed to blow the 400’s up but the 350’s were as good an engine as any ever built. Cousin had 4 ‘88 R Models with 350’s and he still wishes he’d kept those trucks.

    It 0200 Moms attorney (longtime friend) walks in and they go into her office. At 0600 she wakes my wife, myself and my in-laws and Little Man. Telling us all that we needed to get shaved and suited up as we are suppose to be in the judges chambers at 0755. Her attorney will meet us there. AND that no matter what, we are to follow his lead to the letter.

    On the way into town my father in law makes what I consider to be an odd comment. He says that knows of two other people who can stratigize and play a good "game of chess" like your mother can. Today we will be pawns in this match, but remember the lesson. His wife looks at me and nods her head.
    We are all asked questions on the judges chambers. He finally looks at Mom's attorney and says I agree with your recommendation and will finalize the order today. Little Man is now our son to raise and love, but Mom will maintain primary status should the other side of the family make trouble.

    Uncle Mac takes us to a special Japanese breakfast celebration. Little Man gets his first taste of Japanese cooking. He thought it was pretty good.

    That is great news. Knowing Little Man will have a caring and loving family is a blessing. Raise and teach him with the care and love your parents gave you and he will have a fighting chance to lead a successful life.

    Get your truck out of the shop and you can pull the RV with class, maybe not as fast though.

    in big red 75 is about 1850 with 4.42s and tall rubber. A lot of those trucks came with 4.64s that was really popular with heavy specs

    Maybe the second biggest fuss of their marriage was if this truck should shut off at like...maybe 85. She said nope, I bought it wide open it will stay a triple digit truck. ###### Bee you could kill yourself in a truck like that! I could kill myself says the FBI agent???!!!

    We all left the house and decided to enjoy the fine raining weather.

    Takes a lot to anger her, but when you cross that line...Gawd help you cause the devil won't!
