Even if there is only one person on the planet, there will be two Dunkin Donuts stores.

IFS, six bolt wheels, light frame. Probably a Toyota.

I think most websites have ups and downs. For the first time ever, I have a connection that is faster than most websites. My cell phone over wifi. Tethered to a laptop I've seen 952 down/953 up.

My friend works with 95% marble. Granite requires a different diamond blade makeup. Marble is allergic to blasting, it will be full of cracks. That particular block was cut with a steam channeller in the '20's, and was left on a rail siding in '29, the stock market crash having put them out of business. This channeller has an electric motor. Once you had a flat bench in the quarry, you would channel down about five feet in a grid to create the blocks. The first few blocks would be snapped loose with wedges, bars or whatever way possible. Once you had access to the bottom of the blocks, you drill horizontally under them and drive wedges under to break them loose. When you see an old block with 2-3" holes drilled closely all across the face, that's probably what was happening. Smaller holes spaced 6"-12" apart is from feathers and and wedges.

How big are the blocks they are sending by train? Most of what we work with is 6-12 tons, but we could go to about 25 if we found a good block. We took the dipper off a 50 ton P&H. Its a brute. The gray thing up against the end of the building is a wire saw that we built to break down the blocks. There are automated saws polishing equipment inside.

$19.24 a month. I should see the charge in my online banking by morning. It was only $12 when I started, and zero commercials. Now there are a ton of commercials on some stations. I get all riled up about it and think I'm going to quit, but terrestrial radio sucks worse.

I have a 25kw set with a UD-9 engine. I've crank started it at 20 F and the generator is always attached. There is a lot of drag at that temp.

These beams went through the truck stop a couple of years ago. Just over 200,000 pounds for the beam. I don't know what the truck weighed.

It is Italian owned. They own several quarries in the US. I went there with a friend from down here to pick up some slabs, when you could still do that.

Plenty of local towns have something like that for just that purpose, or a York rake. No unions around here that I know of. Unfortunately it's usually a 2000 or 3000 Ford.

I've been in that mine. Was just talking about it half an hour ago, actually. I'll only go underground if you can drive a 988H in the door. Did you know Mike Blair? I only met him once, but he was held in very high regard by my friend that took me up there.

It was just a wag, I'm not up on Mack trucks. They are different. Reminds me of the Emeryville's with the conventional cab used as a cabover.

I agree. H-63 or H-67 probably.

Looks great! Even in heavy ground that will just play with that plow.

This is a 2275 cab. It's the only S cab with a split window that I'm aware of.
