Where is everyone #5

Remember that the CL was the earliest (and I believe only cabover) modern with 4 corner cab air ride.

 

That was known as a Canadian slider.
We could load a 85k gross load (with 36500 on both drives and 12000 on the steers) closed tandem and spread at the border to move up to 2500# back to the spread and if there was some to move onto the steers it might be as much as 600#.

 

I remember Jim Backus from this old show called, “I Married Joan.”

 

"Can you come in tomorrow morning and help a customer out? Guy needs to be back in the field ASAP"

"#### that, call one of the apprentices and tell them to meet me there in an hour, I want to sleep in tomorrow"


Mission accomplished.

 

If anyone remembers Mr Magoo ..a blind cartoon character ....Jim Backus was Mr. Magoo's voice.
Ive heard of "I Married Joan" but I don't remember it.

 

My youngest sister invited me to hang out with her crew. The place was freaking loud. Flashing lights, smoke machine and what I would guess is techno music. My sister and her friends would get 1 drink, hog an area and sip on the same drink for 2-3 hours. Ended up in the balcony and told the waitress to bring a drink every 10 minutes till I say stop. I didn’t know that they wait for some dude to buy drinks. I realized that I have only been in 2 clubs in my entire life. And have been in probably half a million bars.

What is the number one difference between a bar and a club? FOOD.

Decades ago, on the bigroad, there with twitty bars and strip clubs. For example, Jill’s over near WheelingWV. Strip club. On i40, across the highway from the North40 truck stop, there was Country Hooters. And of course, the old WeBareAll spots going down I75. The old twitty bars had AWESOME FOOD and okay women.The club had hotter women, but very limited on the food. Sorry, ladies…I am here to feed the Machine.

I also found out that the only reason why my sister invited me was because she thought I would pay for her and her friends. I hope they brought some money…otherwise they’ll have to work the parking lot.

 

How about Kenny Delmar?

 

Can't read it because of my Ad Blocker. Sorry.

 

Place in Batesville in an old dining car. Guy has done very well at some of those burger cooking contest and it shows. Pretty dang good

 

Thanks for all the info guys, much appreciated.

Looking at TruckPaper again, and I'm not sure if the slider 48's weren't listed last I looked, or I had my search messed up, but I found several options this time closer to my budget.

All were the rear axle slide which I assume is most common since that's what I've seen most.

I'll make some phone calls tommorrow and see if I can get some weights. None listed in the ads.
