What if it Snows?

Morris. IL. Where IL47 crosses US6. NB at intersection; on left quad, was a fine little restaurant. The Owl...(Website map shows a pharmacy there now)
But Morris's claim to fame was the unique speed law enforcements. NB on 47, come into town. Road drops straight down to the river bridge and then rare's right straight back up to level with US6 junction. The man had a "whammy" (cable timer) on the incoming NB downhill about half way. Road was narrow, buildings close to road. He sat in a lawn chair on the side walk and observed his timer. Was looking right into your cab as you drifted by. Don't recall the limit, but it was LOW and sign was not very far back. I mean speed trap extraordinaire, right there laid out in the sunny open for all to see...(1956-57)

 

Uhhm,, the places you hang out at,,???

 

I was thinking the same thing, have to start calling him Bigfoot... Lol

 

I was sweating to beat the band by time we got her running again... But that might have been from all the traffic that wouldnt even try to move over... Boy howdy that pisses me off.

 

I wonder if the wire in the hose was acting as a ground, and popped it when the positive cable went to ground through the frame? I had that crazy thing happen to a truck that had been sitting right outside beside my shop untouched for over a week. Smelled burning insulation smell, went outside and that baby was on fire under the hood. Main cable had gone to ground in frame rail and burned all the ground wires up. If I hadn’t happened to been there by chance, it would have burned my truck, shop and prolly house down. Put a battery disconnect on it during repairs but never ever left it sitting close to anything again, just couldn’t trust it.

 

Still a good landing, and you can use the truck again...

 

Where they having the rally at ? Phoenix? May have to drive in and make an appearance

 

Now I know who to call when mine needs done I'll pay you with a pack of bubble gum and a good review on Yelp.
