If we do not learn from our past history no matter how horrid it may be we are doomed to repeat it.

You bet I'm never beaten to the lunch line. When we go to training classes where they have a buffet...I've been known to push the table away from the wall and start a second line so I'm first!!!

This is hilarious and a great idea! I'll have to keep it in mind.

Well, however Maine came to be, the debate I'd like to see is if we'd be better off as part of Mass then a separate state. According to the Tax Foundation for individual income taxes, Maine ranked 40th worse in the country while Mass ranked 14th. But for the overall Business Climate, which promotes economy and income in general, Maine was 34th and Mass was 36th.....but Mass has deeper pockets than Maine and much more opportunity if you ask me. But then Maine has a better standard of living? Is it safer? This is too much for me. I give up.....

Have a great day Mainers!

No car shows this month ......with New England summers being so short, my wife and the rest of the family try to squeeze every birthday, family reunion, camping trips, etc. in the summer.

We plan on going to a few shows in September....those are good times too that my wife and I enjoy together. I'll be wishing we'd gone to more of them in the winter when my rig is tucked away from all that snow and salt!

Good Morning Everyone! Fall is definetly in the air lately!
Going to look at a 95 ext cab 150 with a blown motor today after work. If the body and frame are good I will probably purchase and try and make one good truck with my 93.

Has anyone went or viewed the classic car auction at Owls Head Museum on Aug. 21, 2010.

OHTM Events -33rd NE Auto Auction

There were some awesome vehicles up on the auction block and a few went cheap.

I just glanced through some of the ones that sold. Pretty good bunch of vehicles. I've never been. I can't see myself buying at an auction. Just not used to it I guess. I like the private sales.
